Signal Yellow 1973 Porsche 911S Targa

A Dripping Springs Tribute: The Flawless Restoration of a Signal Yellow Porsche

Alas, a car that I was very sad to see go. This is a favorite of a local Dripping Springs Porsche collection. I can’t say enough about the color combination. Those seats are just outrageous and pair so well with the Signal Yellow paint job.

It’s hard to show how insane this restoration using only the photos. Every little detail was poured over. Even with the $268,000 sale price, the owner probably barley made his money back. There is so much time and labor into this car, but it’s worth every penny.

I'd love to hear about your car and what you need — whether it's a Bring a Trailer listing, a private sale, a dealer lot or just a proper set of your build. No shoot is too small. A year, make, model and a rough timeline is enough to quote, and I answer email fast.
