RoW 1972 Porsche 911E Targa 3.2L 5-Speed
Presentation
Representing the final generation of the classic long-hood 911 body style, this 1972 Porsche 911E Targa also features a unique "Ölklappe” external oil filler exclusive to this model year. Upgraded with a 3.2-liter flat-six Carrera engine, it comes finished in red over black upholstery. Among the least common 911 versions at the time, this 911E Targa is one of just 861 produced for 1972. The car was reportedly delivered new in Belgium before being imported to Canada in 1989. It is now being offered for auction out of Canada. This example is being relisted at fault of the previous buyer who failed to complete the transaction.

Reportedly factory-specified in Albert Blue, this 911E has been refinished in red. It features a black top, a silver Targa bar, and a wraparound rear window, along with an external oil filler lid mounted behind the passenger door on the rear quarter panel known as an "Ölklappe.” Other details include chrome door handles and window trim, aluminum rocker moldings, polished dual side mirrors, and 14” Fuchs alloy wheels. Additional images are provided in the gallery.
The black-upholstered cabin has been modified with RS-style bucket seats, racing harnesses, a MOMO Prototipo steering wheel, and a rear roll cage. Accessories include VDO instrumentation, aluminum dashboard trim, a locking glovebox, roll-up windows, and a push-button stereo. Additionally, the carpets have been replaced.
This 911E was upgraded with a 3.2-liter flat-six engine from an ‘87 Carrera in 2011. The rear wheels are driven through a 5-speed 915 manual transaxle. The seller notes that a short-shift kit has been installed and the fluids have been replaced. As part of a recent service, a new oil tank was installed and the oil cooling lines were also replaced.
The seller would like you to know: "This Targa combines the best of all worlds for a long hood Targa. (1) It is a 72 with the signature external Oil Cap and the dry sump oil tank repositioned forward of the rear axle to reduce overhang weight. (2) It has arguably the best 911 engine, the 3.2 Carrera engine, renowned for its reliability and ease of maintenance. (3) It is a turn-key, well-built Targa with upgraded and/or refreshed suspension components and with the engine swap done by a renowned Porsche specialist."
