THE PORSCHE 911
In 1967 the 911T was first introduced as a base model, retaining the unique and successful rear engine layout as well as the same basic styling; the majority of the changes to the 911 were internal. Dimensionally, the rear track and wheelbase grew, while the overall length stayed the same as the earlier cars. In 1972 the 911T, along with the E and S, benefited from a larger 2,341cc engine commonly referred to as the 2.4. 1972 also brought the introduction of the 915 transmission, a robust 5-speed derived from the 908 racecar.
1973 was the final year of the desirable early 911 styling featuring the small bumpers and more prevalent bright work before the switch to the more pronounced bumpers in 1974.
The Motorcar Offered
This particular 911T Targa was manufactured in the last half of 1973. It is fitted with the proper CIS injection and a 5 speed manual. Today the car is still in highly original mechanical condition, retaining its original matching numbers engine. Porsche only built 1,302 911T in 1973. This was also the last year of the long nose 911.
A few years ago this car was sympathetically restored. Having only 28,000 documented miles, not much was needed. It was refinished in its original shade of aubergine. The interior, carpeting and door handles were also replaced. The original Fuchs Alloy wheels that are fitted are in very good condition.
The records for this particular 911T are also extensive and included in the sale are books and tools. The car has been in the care of the consignor, a Porsche collector, for the past few years and has been kept road ready.
Anyone who has spent some seat time in an injected 1973 911 will tell you that they are extremely enjoyable to drive. They provide a great sense of mechanical connection and have plenty of performance even for driving today. It is a great car for road rallies, PCA events, or Sunday drives, and great addition to any collection.
