BaT Description:
This 1972 Porsche 911E is a US-specification coupe that was finished from the factory in Viper Green over a black interior with houndstooth seat inserts. It was delivered new in Germany in April 1972 and driven in Europe before being shipped to the original owner’s home in California in late 1974. The original owner kept the car until his passing in 2010, and it was then stored in a garage until the selling dealer’s acquisition in November 2018. Maintenance in August 2019 included removal of the numbers-matching 2.4L flat-six for a top-end reseal. New piston rings, valve covers, and a clutch were installed along with many other components as outlined below. The heat exchangers and muffler were also replaced, and the car was dyno tuned following reinstallation of the engine. Equipment includes 15″ Fuchs wheels, Weber carburetors, lower rocker trim, driving lights, and new Michelin tires. This 911 is now offered in Houston, Texas with its order invoice, 1974 shipping document, California registration cards from 1977-2010, an owner’s manual, and a 1975-issue California “pink slip” in the original owner’s name.
The car was originally delivered with Koni shocks, front and rear stabilizer bars, and comfort equipment according to the order invoice. More than 100 paint meter readings from around the Viper Green exterior are attached in the gallery, most of which show between 3.0 and 5.0 mils. The seller notes that a light scuff was touched up on the passenger-side rear fender, and other touch-up spots are pictured in the gallery. The windshield is a replacement item. 2019 work included paint-less dent removal, new plastic and rubber plugs, new taillight and turn signal lenses, and replacing the front trunk and rear decklid struts.
15″ Fuchs wheels display 1972 and 1973 date codes as shown in the gallery, and the seller had four new 185/70 Michelin XWX tires mounted in 2019. A full-sized spare is located in the front trunk. Note the blue, six-digit California license plate mounted out back, which was issued to this car in 1975 as shown on the pink slip.
According to the original invoice, this car was delivered new with a driver’s sport seat and black Pepita inserts. A patch is present on the driver’s seat cushion as shown above, and Recaro lettering on the driver’s seat-back adjustment lever is pictured in the gallery. A racing placard with the original owner’s last name is affixed to the inside of the glovebox lid, and “101” decals are present on the underside of the front hood, indicating potential competition use years ago.
In 2019 the seller fitted a refurbished Blaupunkt radio, new Perlon trunk carpeting, and new trim for the door and maps pockets. US-spec instrumentation is present, including a 150-mph speedometer. Just under 12k miles are shown on the five-digit odometer.
The 2.4L flat-six is equipped with pressure-fed chain tensioners and paired with a Type 915 five-speed manual transaxle. Weber 40 IDA carburetors were added at some point in the past in place of the factory fuel injection system. New engine bay decals were affixed during the 2019 service, which is outlined by the invoice below. The original owner’s compression test notes between 1973-1994 are contained in the owner’s manual, and recent compression gauge results.
