Although he played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars franchise, Ewan McGregor’s black-on-black Porsche 911 appears like it belongs to Darth Vader. And now, it could quickly belong to you, simply because it is at the moment for sale at auction in California.

First sold in 1972, this Porsche 911T Targa was equipped from the factory with a two.four-liter flat-six with Bosch mechanical fuel injection. Power was sent to the rear wheels by means of a 5-speed manual transmission, and it even comes with the beloved Fuchs alloys.

Inside, the Vader aesthetic continues with black carpeting, black trim, and seats that have black leatherette bolsters. However, the darkness is broken by the fabric seat inserts, which, in classic Porsche style, function the black and white Pepita weave.

The auto came into McGregor’s possession in 2019, and it was stated to have been in storage considering that the ’70s ahead of then. That probably created it an eye-catching project for the actor, who place it back on the road right after a sympathetic restoration.

In addition to enhancing it mechanically by resealing the transaxle, replacing the clutch and flywheel, adjusting the valves, and replacing some bushings, he also added a Porsche Classic head unit with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and satellite radio.

Unfortunately, the speedometer was also repaired in 2020, which means that its accurate mileage is not identified. However, the odometer now shows 38,000 miles (61,155 km), only two,000 (three,218 km) of which have been added by its present owner (not McGregor) suggesting that Obi-Wan did a lot of driving in this 911.

That tends to make it all the much more meaningful as a collector’s item, I would think about. On the other hand, that also implies that this Porsche is in fine, but not exceptional situation, which may possibly hurt its worth. On sale in Monterey, California, it will be intriguing to see how significantly this 911T Targa sells for when the Bring a Trailer auction ends on December 18.
