Help needed in research of newly acquired early 911

Maybe he has a Kardex or COA that states 911 T/E. I think it was his abbreviated way of saying he has a '73.5 with CIS.

On my COA, it is mentionned T/E

Finding information on the car is extremely difficult due to privacy laws in some states. The only information that turns up in a VIN search on the Internet is OPC's advertisement. Much information on 911Ts seems to have been lost years back when the Early 911T site was hacked.
I hope you don't mind some questions, but you refer to it as unrestored pristine. I looked at the Advertisement on the website and some things stand out. It looks to be a late US model '73 911T CIS with a compliance stcker dated 6/73.
My concern with your car is that the speedometer appears to be incorrect, and it should have CIS. Also it should have the large black bumper guards, and the mirrors should be rectangular.
The photos from OPC classics show carburators. Is the engine type 911/91?

I concur with ESully, as I posted earlier in this thread, my 1973.5 911t had the large black bumper guards, CIS, rectangular mirrors, black engine lid vent and script as it was only 16 cars newer, 9113103090. Also on the web site that ESully posted the car is shown does have the black trim around the front and rear parking/turn signal lenses, as did mine when new. The original photo in this thread looks to me like the lenses were changed as the accent look silver in the photo, which was common on earlier cars. Or maybe they are just faded or the lighting. Also the rear lenses look more orange than the ones in the web site photos which look red, again maybe faded or the lighting.

Still a very beautiful car which certainly brings back memories of the 73 I had purchased new.

You are right.
The engine has been "carburised" when the car crossed the atlantic... so not CIS anymore... (to enthusiaste on the description, sorry)
speedometer has been changed with km/h (fine by me)
TheBrumengallery (NL) imported the car from the US back in 1998
They cant yet find the 'file' to tell me more about the last owner in the US
I am still waiting...

I hope you can find the information, but it can be difficult.
Beautiful car. Have you considered acquiring an original CIS intake?

Not yet, I am first reconsidering changing the clutch with OEM parts...
But this is a great idea
