1973 Porsche 911T

1973 Porsche 911T

Published June 3, 2015 by Rob

With an entry-level car comes entry-level performance and appearance, two things that many people might seek to change. On a performance coupe like the 911 such desires become even more understandable and it’s easy to find a wide variety of builds with just such an objective in mind. Many of the high-end builds have used the 964 chassis and running gear as the foundation for designing a car with vintage 911 looks, but modern 911 performance. Yet, we also see builds work in the other direction, taking one of the early 911s as its foundation and then fitting the engine, transmission, and suspension from a later model in order to complete the package. Such builds are somewhat more rare given the very high value attached to an original long-hood 911, but when no longer in original condition perhaps it begins to make more sense. Here is one such build: a Silver Metallic 1973 Porsche 911T, located in Georgia, with a rare 3.1 liter flat-six from an early 911SC mated to a 915 5-speed transmission. The body has been fitted with RS flares to give it a more aggressive look and the interior has received minor revisions in the guise of the early 911 outlaw builds.

1971 Porsche 911T Coupe

1971 Porsche 911T Coupe

Published May 15, 2015 by Rob

We’ve shown a few examples of the 911T over the past weeks and we always enjoy featuring these early entry-level 911s for their (at least on a relative scale) less costly asking prices that still retain that vintage 911 style and feel. They do tend to get caught in the general craze surrounding long-hood 911s with asking prices that are too high for their condition, but we can forgive sellers for attempting to extract the most from their cars. No one is going to give these away. In that regard the 911T can be a tough sell; even a good one is destined to command far less than a 911S so collectors remain less enamored with them, but values are high enough that as a driver it really takes a buyer with a strong nostalgic desire for an early 911 for the purchase to make much sense. The example we see here falls into that driver category and given the asking price will probably be another tough sell, but it’s incredibly striking and appears to have been shown a high degree of care. Here we have a Yellow 1971 Porsche 911T, located in Massachusetts, that’s traveled 171,785 miles over the course of its life. From the pictures it hardly looks it!

1972 Porsche 911T Targa

1972 Porsche 911T Targa

Published April 29, 2015 by Rob

I feel somewhat remiss in never featuring one of the long-hood Targas during convertible week last week. While not really a true convertible they were the only open-top option for the 911 during that time period. For full effect you’d want the Soft-window Targa, but frankly the hard-window Targa is a much better looking car and still provides much of the open feel that makes any convertible so prized in the first place. So I’ll try to fill that gap with this Bahia Red 1972 Porsche 911T Targa, located in Florida, with a reported 53,294 miles on it. This Targa sat for a while and was given a basic refreshing of much of the mechanical components prior to being put up for sale, but the paint and interior are original to the car. Because this is a 1972 MY 911 that makes it an oil flapper, meaning it was fitted with an external oil filler located on the rear quarter panel. Porsche had hoped to improve weight distribution by moving the oil reservoir inside the wheelbase, but ultimately reverted to the original design one year later out of concern for people who mistook it for the gas tank and added fuel to their oil. Regardless, the 1972 cars are the only ones to possess this unique feature.

1970 Porsche 911T Coupe

1970 Porsche 911T Coupe

Published March 2, 2015 by Rob

For reasons that I can’t quite pin down, I really enjoy the look of a green 911 on models prior to the 964, especially the long-hood models, but am far less a fan of those same colors on everything from the 964 forward. The exceptions are some of the dark green metallic shades that I enjoy on any model, but a color such as the one we see here, an Irish Green 1970 Porsche 911T Coupe, I find immensely more appealing on an early 911. Perhaps there is something about the narrower, lighter, structure of the early cars that showcases colors like this one in a way the newer models do not, but it is something I can’t really put my finger on. Regardless, this is a beautiful 911 complete with a Tan interior to complete this iconic contrast of shades. It appears to have gone through various stages of restoration, and sits currently as a well cared for driver to either be put to good use or more fully restored to pristine condition.

Motorsports Monday: 1972 Porsche 911T and 1980 Porsche 911SC

Published January 5, 2015 by Carter

A rather sad thing is happening within the Porsche world; the 911 is increasing in value so rapidly that its original dual purpose nature is being threatened. The 911 was, for some time, one of the few cars that really was effectively track-ready right out of the box. While it’s seldom been the all-out fastest circuit car available the 911 has been the dependable choice; lightweight with enough power to thrill you and enough idiosyncrasies to challenge you as a driver. Today I’ve rounded up two track-ready examples that still can be street driven; both 3.0s but with different yet classic interpretations of the 911 design, which is the winner?
