1972 Porsche 911T Coupe

Published January 1, 2015 by Rob

There is something strangely alluring about a brown 911. Maybe it’s the way the color looks on the early cars or maybe it’s the relative rarity of the color on modern cars. Either way I always find myself drawn into these ads spending far too much time going through detailed pictures of the car and wondering why they went out of style. Brown definitely is a period color most popular in the ’70s and early ’80s and while Porsche offers a few shades on their modern cars they are exceedingly rare and I cannot recall ever coming across one on the road. Today’s example comes from the 911’s original long-hood design, which tends to showcase their brown color exceptionally well: a restored Sepia Brown 1972 Porsche 911T, located in Denver, with Beige interior and 61,480 miles. The 1972 911 has the distinction of being the only year the 911 came fitted with an external oil filler and while I haven’t really seen much to suggest the market cares about that detail it is nonetheless an interesting piece of trivia and an additional talking point on these early examples.

1971 Porsche 911T Coupe – RS Tribute

Published November 23, 2014 by Rob

There are some cars I come across that are so visually arresting that I start thinking about featuring them before even delving much beyond the basic details of the car. I would say this is one such car. The color. The execution of the design. Everything about the overall aesthetic at work here is remarkably beautiful, but also properly conveys the sporting pretensions lying behind the car’s genesis. As one of the most highly regarded 911s of all time the Carrera RS design has been mimicked by builders for many years and as values for an original RS have shot into the stratosphere the impetus for undertaking such projects has only increased. When executed well these RS recreations can themselves become highly sought after, though always for much less money than the original, with the added benefit that it is a car that can be driven and enjoyed as these cars were intended. This all brings us to the car we see here: a Gemini Blue 1971 Porsche 911T Coupe, located in Oregon, that has been built as a tribute to the great Carrera RS showcasing many of the exterior details of the original combined with a period-correct interior that leans toward performance.

Feature Listing: 1972 Porsche 911T

Published August 8, 2014 by Rob

There are always certain colors that elicit an irrational excitement from me when I come across them on a 911. The most popular, of course, being Guards Red, but some of the others are even better. Riviera Blue. Viper Green. Speed Yellow. These colors certainly aren’t for everyone because of their vibrant assertiveness, but for some of us they always hold a special place. For my tastes, the best shades on any sports car are orange and those are the cars that really get my heart moving. So, obviously how could I pass up this beautiful Tangerine 1972 Porsche 911T for sale from our friends at Sun Valley Auto Club in Hailey, Idaho? And, of course, with 1972 being the only year these early 911s featured an external oil tank filler, that adds an extra bit of rarity to this already rare low mileage 911T.

1973 Porsche 911T Coupe

Published July 20, 2014 by Rob

1974 brought with it one of the more significant, and unloved to many, design changes for the Porsche 911. Gone was the hood that stretched fully to the front of the car replaced by the rough protrusions of federally-mandated impact bumpers. Now, to be fair, these bumpers didn’t destroy the design and the 911 continued to be a very sharp looking car with few alterations to its appearance over the next 15 years. Still, something was lost and the pre-1974 cars possess an originality in their intention that other 911s struggle to match. The car featured here comes from the final year of the long-hood design, a really pretty Gemini Blue 1973 Porsche 911T Coupe, located in Pennsylvania. If the stated mileage can be verified, this would qualify as one of the lowest mileage pre-1974 911s I’ve come across.
