1970 911T 1970 911T saved from a restoration / paint / body shop where the car's owner and the shop's owner had come to a head over work done and money to be payed to continue. It had been sitting for a few years in the back corner of the shop when I inquired about it. I mediated between the two and brought home the car along with all the removed parts. That was in 2004. I had planned on finishing up the fine work already done and getting it on the road. Almost 10 years, two kids and a new house later and it has been sitting in the back corner of my garage in the same state I brought it home in. Based on license plate and inspection stickers, the car was last on the road in 1992. Single original owner claims he bought the car new while stationed in Germany and had it built to US specs to bring home. He informed me of one accident to right rear corner that occurred and was repaired in Germany. Car's original color was silver as indicated by the paint code "8080-H". It shows signs of at least one other respray (gulf blue?) and metal work before the current restoration efforts.  Five genuine 6x15 Fuch wheels.  Four on the car and one tireless one for the spare. The shop owner informed me of all the work he had completed. At the time I was working as a mechanic at a private dealership that sold and serviced BMWs and other German makes. We took all our bodywork to this particular shop because he did excellent work and was focused solely on European makes.  He had stripped all the paint and repaired a few sections of rust.  Left rear C pillar.  And left lower engine compartment cowl.  He cut out the rust and welded in replacement panels and put some sealer on them (green in color-shown in pictures). Excellent work. The doors, bonnet, deck lid, and rear bumper sections were in paint ready condition and he had already sprayed the sealant on them, and even started some primer as well (yellow in color - shown in pictures). The front fenders have been sprayed with the sealer as well except for a few small patches where a few pin holes were left to be dealt with. The fuel tank has been drained and the top portion has been sealed, while the bottom has been left with the undercoat.  Some other painted pieces had been stripped to bare metal as well as seen in the pictures.  The only piece that is in bad shape is the front bumper.  After stripping the paint to discover previous bondo repair, he decided it would be easier and cheaper to just use an aftermarket replacement. The original un-prepped bumper is included though if you think it would be worth saving.  Another area that was not dealt with at the time the restoration came to a halt, was the right rocker panel near the jacking point.  It is a little out of shape still. The left rocker panel and the left lower windshield cowl have some small rust perforations as well.  These can be seen in the pictures. As mentioned before, the original owner admitted to putting the right rear corner into something going unexpectedly backways while in Germany in the 70's.  The rear quarterpanel was replaced and the repair weld is easily seen in the pictures.  Decent work, but, not up to the standards of the shop owner I received the car from.   The interior was left intact as much as possible. The only interior issue is the passenger front seat.  The folding forward release cable is broken/disconnected/dangling.  The driver seat still folds forward for rear access.  Good carpets, momo steering wheel with correct adapter and Porsche emblem horn button.  The interior trim and all latch window mechanisms were removed from the doors but all included. Door cards and pockets are in good shape.  The headliner is hanging after the glass removal but may be salvageable. The glass is all in good shape and can be used. The floor pan seems to be in good shape.  The shop owner said he was going to leave it as is.  The motor and trans were reported to be in working order when the car was brought in.  Both are original and stock. Although they are assuredly leaking in several places.  Motor turns over by hand.  As the fuel and electrics have been drained and disconnected I have never seen it 'running', and they have not been run for well over ten years. Zenith carbs on the 2.2 motor.  Specs here.  The shop owner kept all the removed parts and fasteners. They are all included. He tried to keep everything together. Most of it is reusable, but some of it will be better off to get replacements for.  But it is all there so you know what you need even if it is unusable.  The electrical harnesses are all bundled up with tape in the areas that were being prepped for paint. The headlights and surrounds look good, but the taillights have some cracks. Side mirrors are good.  But the rear view mirror that is still attached to the windshield is cracked down the middle. Now that I have told you all I can about the car, I will lay out what you need to know to make it yours.  Do not let the bare metal of the body scare you.  It has been like this for over ten years.  I have moved the car three times using tow truck and tow dolly.  As long as you have a rain free time frame for transport and a closed in space to keep it, you will have no problems.  There are a few areas of surface rust that were there when I took ownership of the car. They haven't gotten any smaller but I can't say they look any worse than when I got it. The car is a few small steps away from being ready to paint.  All the major body work has been completed. One good thing about buying a car that is down to bare metal is there is nothing to hide.  No hidden surprises. Whether you are capable of pulling this off at home, or you end up taking it straight to a shop upon receiving it, this car is an excellent, original, complete car well over half on its way to being a thoroughly restored example of a classic beautiful 911.  Please contact me with any questions.

I did some research and found out.  They are all true Fuchs deep sixes. But two of the wheels on the car are 'late' deep sixes and the other two on the car and the spare wheel are 'early'  deep sixes. The original owner never informed me of any wheel swapping. Click here for more info on the differences between early and late deep sixes. On Sep-12-13 at 20:07:37 PDT, seller added the following information: UPDATE ON ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER AND ENGINE TYPE As stated in the questions section.  I posted images of the engine and trans serial numbers on the flickr set.  Engine: 6109815 Trans: 911/01 7702574 . There has been some discussion and research done about the engine number.  The 610 part would imply that it is 6 cylinder, type T, and 1970.  But some people have speculated the the high sequential number 9815 means different things.  Some say 911E some say sportomatic.  To try and clear things up I was told to find the engine type number stamped on the engine case.  I have posted that image as well on the flickr set. It is 911/07 .  Which again implies 911T.  911/08 would be sportomatic, and 911/01 would be 911E.  I think maybe the high sequential number is due to the fact that the original owner bought it in Germany and had it built to US spec.  So it was not in with the original 'batch' of cars destined for the US that the books refer to with their engine sequential ranges.  Here is a reference. I am setting up times to have people come and view the car this weekend.  Send me a message if you would like to arrange a time to see it in person.
