Auction/Seller's Description:
This 1973 Porsche 911T Sunroof Coupe was converted into an RS-themed hot rod in the early ’90s. This is a well-optioned example delivered new in paint-to-sample Zambezi Green with Comfort Package as confirmed by the included Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. Starting from a clean and low mileage car, genuine steel RS flares were fitted prior to a high-quality respray. ’73-specific sport seats highlight a very clean interior and the car sits on proper RS-spec Fuchs wheels. Power comes from a 2.7 liter twin-plug engine built around a 1970 T case, and the car has been maintained over the past 12 years by its PCA member owner.
The seller purchased the car in 2003 and has enjoyed it regularly since. Zambezi Green (Porsche code 231) is a period factory 914 color, ordered on this example at extra cost on Porsche’s paint-to-match program as confirmed by the included COA, which also shows this car was factory-optioned with an S-style front spoiler. The seller says flares are authentic steel RS items from Porsche, and the fiberglass rear bumper and ducktail spoiler are good quality reproductions. Wheels are staggered six and seven inch wide, 15″ Fuchs with 1973 date stamps. Note also the deleted rocker covers.
The interior has been nicely restored to RS-spec with reupholstered OEM ’73 sports seats with correct double slider locks and tippers. Also fitted are RS style door panels without pockets and 964 RS door pulls. All gauges, lights, and switches are functional, the radio has been deleted with a blanking plate, and the Momo Prototipo steering wheel is new.
The engine was built on a ’70 T case (#6108785) and is believed to displace 2.7 liters. It runs 40mm Weber IDA carbs and twin plug heads, dual coils, and a 12-plug distributor. The seller says it starts easily and pulls strong with a great sound and excellent throttle response. There is a very small oil stain from the LH cam tower area. Recent work included fitment of a new clutch, shocks and struts (all Bilsteins) as well as new brakes. The car has desireable S-spec alloy front brake calipers.
A stainless steel exhaust feeds a Dansk Sport muffler with megaphone-style tips. Power is sent through the car’s original 915 transaxle and all gears engage easily with good synchros and positive clutch feel. The seller says engine and trans are free of leaks. Owned by an active Porsche Club of America member, the car regularly participates in club tours and local shows.
