Porsche is well known for its long and storied road-racing history. That history defines the marque and in many ways serves as its guide. But there is a portion of their racing history that also includes forays into rally racing, most notably their entry in the Paris-Dakar Rally with the 953. While certainly a small part of their overall racing heritage, rallying provided another means for Porsche to display its racing prowess during the manufacturer’s early days, even if road racing ultimately would remain its primary venue. The car we have featured here found inspiration in some of those early rally cars: a 1970 Porsche 911T Coupe with a few exterior modifications to give it a distinctive, rally-esque, look.

The car is advertised as “rally style” and that is basically what we get. It isn’t modified for performance, but offers a particular look and a degree of uniqueness that is sure to appeal to some and be a turn off to others. The exterior possesses the basic rally cues we might expect, and the paintwork appears to be in good condition and is distinctive without being over the top. I really like the interior and while there isn’t anything that particularly screams “Rally!” about it, the contrast of the red hound’s tooth seat inserts with the black leather is pretty great and overall the interior looks well done and in very good condition. The car isn’t numbers matching and should definitely be put through a thorough PPI in order to get a sense of it’s mechanical condition, but otherwise it appears in very good shape and would make for an interesting conversation piece at any car show. It’s priced a bit too high, given that $70K could probably fetch a 911T in decent condition that retains its originality, but this particular car at least provides for something slightly different.
