Auction Estimate:
This 1971 Porsche 911T was sold new in California and features an electric sunroof, factory A/C, comfort equipment, and optional 5-speed transmission. It remained with the original owner in California until his passing, at which point it was acquired by the seller last year. The numbers matching 2.2L flat-six had not run in 15 years when the car was pulled from storage by the seller, and considerable maintenance has subsequently been performed to recommission this example for the road. Work included rebuilding the Zenith carburetors, cleaning the fuel system and tank, installing a new cap and rotor, replacing the front brake lines, adding new plugs and wires, rebuilding the axles, and more as detailed below. This longhood 911 is now being offered with its original California blue plates, receipts from the refresh and the original owner, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a clean New Jersey title in the seller’s name.
Finished in Light Yellow (62) from the factory, the car was repainted in its current black at an unknown point in its past. Later front bumperettes were present on the car when it was acquired by the seller and have since been removed. The original fog light covers, spare tire, jack, washer bottle, and pump are included, as are the California blue plates. The CoA verifies that this car was optioned with a factory electric sunroof, and the Fuchs-style wheels are mounted with older Champiro tires.
Black leatherette with houndstooth inserts was optioned from the factory and the current interior is believed to be original to the car. The covers shows some looseness visible on the seat bottoms, and wear can also be seen on the steering wheel rim. The seller states that the dash has no cracking, and a JVC radio has replaced the factory unit. The car was optioned with A/C from the factory and the odometer shows a believed accurate 95,749 miles.
Power comes from the numbers-matching 2.2L flat-six, which is mated to the original 5-speed manual transmission. The car has not been run in many years when it was pulled from storage by the seller, and considerable servicing was performed in order to get the car back on the road. The Zenith carbs were rebuilt, and a new CDI control unit was added along with a new ignition cap, rotor, spark plugs, points, and wires. The fuel tank was steam cleaned and the fuel system flushed. The car has been driven about 400 miles by the seller and posted the following compression numbers in a recent test:
Cyl. 1 – 128 lbs
Cyl. 2 – 125 lbs
Cyl. 3 – 128 lbs
Cyl. 4 – 124 lbs
Cyl. 5 – 126 lbs
Cyl. 6 – 128 lbs
The front brake lines were also replaced and the braking system was bled. The axles were rebuilt and various fuses were cleaned or updated. Multiple undercarriage photos have been provided by the seller and can be seen in the gallery. Engine stamping #6114991 can be seen and is confirmed as original by the CoA. The Porsche CoA shows the original colors, confirms the engine and transmission number, and displays the factory options. Records indicate the clutch was last replaced in 1999, and multiple other records dating back to 1998 are included in the sale along with receipts from the seller’s refurbishment. A walk around and start up video have been provided by the seller.
