Overview

1977 Porsche 911S Targa – Numbers-Matching, Restored in Rare Continental Orange
 

This 1977 Porsche 911S Targa presents in its rarely seen, factory-original Continental Orange (code B2) over a black partial leather interior, an eye-catching and era-defining specification. A numbers-matching example, this 911S benefits from a recent comprehensive cosmetic and mechanical restoration that included a full glass-out and engine-out repaint in its original color. All body seals and rubber components were replaced with new OEM parts during reassembly, ensuring a fresh, tight, and correct presentation that highlights the car’s sharp lines and removable Targa roof profile.
 

While the engine was out, extensive service work was completed including new valve cover gaskets, timing cover gaskets, a fresh fuel filter and air filter, new spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, a complete spark plug wire set, new fuel sender, warm-up regulator, CDI unit, and battery. The car’s mechanical health is further bolstered by documented prior service in 2017, which included replacement of the fuel injectors, injector seals, fuel pump, fuel accumulator, and all four brake pads. Importantly, both chain tensioners were confirmed to be upgraded during this time, a desirable and practical enhancement for long-term reliability.
 

To ready the car for auction, a final round of preparation included a general tune-up, ignition coil replacement, timing and fuel pressure adjustment, and application of a professional-grade ceramic coating for added paint protection and gloss. A binder of parts invoices and service documentation accompanies the car, along with photographs verifying critical mechanical updates. With its distinctive color scheme, numbers-matching pedigree, and well-documented restoration, this 1977 911S Targa is a compelling opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
