An
original
Porsche
911
can
easily
transport
a
driver
back
in
time
through
its
unique
factory
touches
like
textures,
smells
and
finishes.
These
unmistakable
details
are
what
some
of
the
most
serious
collectors
lust
for,
delivering
an
authentic
charm
that
cannot
be
replicated.
This
original,
one-owner
1969
911E
Targa
is
just
that.
Custom-ordered
and
delivered
in
Europe
for
delivery,
this
Polo
Red
over
black
leather
911
would
remain
with
its
owner
for
50
years
in
California.
With
a
collection
of
original
Porsche
factory
paperwork,
maintenance
and
shipping
documents,
this
911E
Targa
is
a
fine
example
of
a
well
loved
and
cared
for
automobile.
Helmut
Diener,
a
resident
of
Mountain
View,
CA
ordered
this
car
to
his
specifications
on
May
2nd,
1969
and
the
Targa
was
delivered
via
European
Delivery
on
July
28th,
1969.
He
optioned
his
Targa
with
Polo
Red
paint,
a
black
leather
interior,
15\"
deep
6\"
Fuchs
alloy
wheels,
a
tool
kit
and
travel
kit,
chrome
around
the
fender,
a
retractable
antenna,
and
a
Blaupunkt
Frankfurt
radio.
When
completed,
Helmut
paid
a
total
of
$7,551.00
for
this
Polo
Red
911E
Targa.
Not
wanting
to
wait
to
enjoy
his
car,
Helmut
drove
the
car
around
Europe
for
a
few
weeks
on
vacation.
Included
are
photographs
of
the
car
in
Germany
with
the
rolling
countryside
and
towns
behind
it.
Hemlut
then
left
the
car
with
Porsche
after
his
European
tour,
where
the
Targa
was
then
shipped
to
San
Francisco
and
arrived
in
the
United
States
on
November
19th,
1969.
Helmut
took
the
car
home
with
him
to
Mountain
View,
where
he
would
enjoy
the
car
for
half
a
century.
Purchasing
the
car
to
enjoy
it
and
not
just
let
it
sit,
Helmut
took
the
car
out
on
the
weekends
and
often
times
took
it
for
long
drives
down
the
coast
of
California
along
Highway
1.
Never
driving
the
car
in
inclement
weather
and
when
not
in
use
stored
underneath
a
cover,
the
car
has
been
excellently
preserved
due
to
his
careful
and
thoughtful
ownership.
An
engineer
by
trade,
he
made
sure
to
carry
out
all
of
the
maintenance
as
he
could,
eventually
going
to
reputable
auto
repair
houses
to
continue
his
work.
This
attention
to
detail
yielded
a
car
that
was
reliable,
in
well-running
condition,
and
presents
far
better
than
many
other
cars
of
its
age
and
experience.
