ITS OKTOBERFEST AND THE PERFECT TIME FOR A CLASSIC GERMAN RESTORATION! This 1971 Porsche 911T is being sold by only the second owner. All records and the original handbook come with the car. Also have other original parts such as the original air intake covers. I tried to include pictures that accurately show the true condition of the car but somewhat limited with the number of pictures allowed.The body itself is in pretty good shape. Typical of most Porsche's of this era with a non galvanized floor pan there is quite a bit of rust in the flooring particularly under the driver and passenger side. I took up the floor mats to try to accurately show in the picture. The dash board does have a crack and the passenger side door panel pocket needs to be replaced. The engine has 138k original miles on it and has not been started in about 8 years. I noticed that the driver side Weber carburetor housing has a crack and would need to be replaced. Overall this classic Porsche is a perfect candidate for a restoration to take advantage of the recent absolute incredible surge in the value of this German classic. Buyer will be responsible for shipping. Car is located just North of Boston. Access to shipping from Boston to Europe could be a convenient option.On Oct-23-15 at 19:17:00 PDT, seller added the following information: As I mentioned to those who have posted questions that I am posting this car for my 75 year old father, so as the questions come in as difficult as it is to find answers, I am doing my due diligence in trying to get the answers in the quest of full disclosure so that everyone interested in bidding on the car can make an informed decision. I’m posting what I have found in trying to answer questions so that everyone has the same information and it’s a completely level playing field. In no means being an expert on Porsche’s here is what I was able to find out over the past couple of days based on some questions that were asked. The emblem on the back near the grill says 911S but in fact the car is a 911T. I was also asked to check the VIN# stamped on the chassis near the fuel tank to see if it matched the metal tag near the hood release and it does match. My father purchased the car on December 19th 1975. The car at that time had 101,150 miles on it. Not only did he become a member of the Porsche Club of America but also there was a group of 4 or 5 local friends who sort have had their own local Porsche club where they would get together to work on their cars once a week and then occasionally bring them to nearby race tracks in both Lime Rock CT and Watkins Glen NY to race them against other Porsches on the track. There was one sort of Porsche guru in the group that did some work on this car to increase the HP which would explain why the upper housing has a serial# of 6300473 which would indicate that it was built up with 911S parts in order to get that additional HP that is found in the 911S. The lower block its self is original and never replaced and neither was the transmission. I am trying to track down that Porsche guru friend to see if he can offer any further insight into what he may have done to the car but given that even if I’m able to get ahold of him, this was 35+ years ago and probably a long shot if he can remember but will continue to do so in the quest of offering up any more information whatsoever about the car. What I do know was that in heyday on those race tracks this car kicked ass on tracks with a lot of turns, even the newer 911 Turbos that came out had no chance.

He was kind enough to offer to speak to anyone who is seriously interested on bidding on the car and would like to get more information on what may have been done to maximize the performance of the car for those races way back when. He has not seen the car since nor is he associated with the sale of the car in anyway. If you want to try to find out any more information from him send me a message and I will reply with his contact number. On Oct-27-15 at 17:19:24 PDT, seller added the following information: Bill the “Porsche guru’ remembers putting in a very special gear ratio in the gearbox specifically to numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5. This very expensive and very desirable configuration along with the big boost in HP became the double headed monster that made this this car a ridiculously fun car to drive.

In an era where you look around on the highway on your commute to work, and whether it’s a Mercedes or a Kia and everything between, every single car looks the same. Wow! There’s no other way to describe it. The lines on this car are an absolute work of art. It truly is a one of kind master piece that will never be replicated. I did have the opportunity to drive this car a couple of times in my late teens and the experience is hard to describe in words. I can only say that it excites all your senses to the point where you actually feel at one with the car. It’s a feeling I wish everyone out there could experience. My most vivid memories were as an adolescent when the opportunity allowed my father would pop through those gears and I could feel my body sinking further and further almost pressed into the seat, and the sound, I’ll never forget that sound. If you look at the trajectory of the value of these cars it’s hard to imagine what a car like this might be worth 10 or 15 years from now but, the time has come to pass the sensation on to someone new. Jay Leno grew up about 10 minutes from here and if he had the room for one more car in his collection, this could be the one. Good luck everyone!
