Vehicle Overview

1974 Porsche 911 G-Model I.

This 1974 Porsche 911 Targa captures an important period in the model’s development, combining the compact proportions and mechanical character of the early G-Model with the distinctive open-air appeal of Porsche’s Targa roof. Its Guards Red finish, black roof and classic silhouette give it a particularly recognisable presence, while the relatively low-slung dimensions and 1,075 kg DIN unladen weight remain true to the lightweight sports-car philosophy of the era.

Power comes from a 2.7-litre, air-cooled flat-six producing 110 kW, or 150 PS, with 235 Nm of torque. Driven through a five-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, the engine delivers the direct, mechanical interaction that defines a classic 911. The published performance figures include a 210 km/h top speed and 0–100 km/h acceleration in 8.5 seconds, giving this Targa ample capability while retaining the analogue character expected of a car from the period.

The car is described as one of only 13 examples imported into Australia by Porsche Cars Australia, making its Australian provenance a notable part of its appeal. It was delivered new in February 1974 and has remained in South Australia. The listing also records that its original South Australian registration number has been retained, while the correct engine and chassis numbers have been confirmed. Original logbook and factory documentation are included.

Visually, the classic Guards Red paintwork is paired with a black Targa roof and restored black interior trim. The foldable roof gives the cabin a more open character when conditions allow, yet preserves the structural and visual identity that distinguishes the Targa from a conventional coupe. The interior specification combines Midnight leatherette with Tweed seat inserts and Midnight twill cloth side panels.
