BaT Description:
This 1972 Porsche 911T is a largely unmodified coupe that was acquired more than 35 years ago by the seller, who is a mechanic by trade and has daily driven the car 42k miles during his ownership. A recent service performed by the seller involved removal of the 2.4L flat-six and 915 5-speed manual transmission for resealing. Other work at the same time consisted of installing a new muffler, engine mounts, heater hoses, and more as detailed below. Described as stock aside from Weber carburetors, Carrera tensioners, and a handful of other mild mechanical updates, this longhood 911 driver is now being offered with a clean Oregon title in the seller’s name.
The body was repainted in the pale 1980s version of Iris Blue Metallic, which now shows small bubbles in all horizontal areas per the seller. Other blemishes include various paint chips, dings in the rear license plate panel, and a chip in the windshield. A dent is pointed out in the right rear bumper cover, and distortion is visible in the chrome driver-side rocker trim. Black and polished Fuchs wheels wear Toyo Proxes rubber.
Black leatherette upholstery is new on the driver’s seat, while the passenger side was formerly protected by a sheepskin cover. A new dash cover was fitted in years past and some distortion remains around the defroster vents. Just under 45k miles are shown on the 5-digit odometer, which has rolled once according to the seller. An aftermarket CD player has replaced the original radio, and a replacement carpet kit has been added in the front trunk compartment.
The 2.4L flat-six is said to be original and its number stamp is shown in the photos below, though no CoA is available for confirmation. A set of Weber carburetors replaced the factory mechanical fuel injection prior to the seller’s ownership. New cylinders and rings were installed at 103k miles soon after the seller’s purchase in the early 1980s. Fresh timing chains, Carrera tensioners, and sliders were also installed at that time, along with a new intermediate shaft and bearings.
An engine-out service in winter 2016 included a valve adjustment, installation of new oil lines, and general cleaning. RSR-style rocker shaft O-rings were installed along with new axle seals for the 915 5-speed transmission. The engine is said to use some oil and to smoke on start-up due to weak valve guides.
The recent winter service also saw repacking of the axle CV joints and installation of fresh rubber boots along with a new muffler, engine mounts, sway bar mounts, and heater hoses. Suspension is said to retain original shocks, while some bushings have been replaced by the seller. Underbody photos show the general condition of the drivetrain and floors.
The seller is a mechanic by trade and has personally performed all maintenance for over three decades and 42k miles of daily driving, with service records nonexistent as a result. No history is known from the 1970s prior to the seller’s ownership.
