1971 Porsche 911 E Porsche’s 911 E was conceived to fit in between the 911 T and the 911 S. The letter E stood for einspritzung, or injection in German, signifying the presence of its mechanical fuel injection, which was jointly developed by Bosch and Porsche. This was also intended to be the most luxurious 911 model available to customers, as many were lavishly appointed with a variety of factory options. It was produced in both coupe and targa body styles. While the 911 has been in production for over 50 years, models produced between 1971 and 1973 and earlier have become the most desirable in terms of purity of form driving character. This 1971 911E has been owned by the same individual (its third owner) for over a dozen years and was delivered in California before making its way to Northern New England during the late 1980’s. In 2002/2003 the engine was completely rebuilt by a local Porsche Technician and was converted from the troublesome fuel injection back to the carburetor version. It is important to note that this is the factory matching engine to the chassis. After the engine was rebuilt the car was driver less than less than 2500 miles. The miles stated on the odometer are as they appear and it is original. It was the owner’s intention to restore the car but demands of both a professional and personal nature resulted in the car being parked 3 years later in storage until now. It goes without question that this example is clearly a candidate for restoration given the pictures we have provided. The engine turns over freely since it was stored. The body as well as the under carriage while showing scale is rock in all of the critical areas necessary for rebuilding. Interior rocker areas are rock solid as is the front trunk spare tire and battery areas. It goes without question that starting its life in the West Coast has given this 911E the opportunity for restoration. We are setting the reserve on this project at what can only be deemed as a reasonable price given comparative candidates and the present market for restored versions.
