Sorry if this is in the incorrect area. My dad just picked up a 1 owner 1971 911. It is curious because this particular car has only the rear flares. The COA as well as the engine and chassis confirms it as a 911T . The car has 20,000 original miles and stored in a climate controlled garage since the 20k mark. It has been salt tested with such minimal traces that it could be suggested as only being picked up by the evaporated salt water in florida where it was stored. Needless to say, it is a pretty sweet ride.
Long and short, we are trying to figure out if this 911T with rear flares is a unique automobile. Since it was a 1 owner, we are certain of the fact that the flares were not welded on and possibly factory pressed. This was evidenced when the paint job was refinished to ensure no flaws on the shell. And, photos were taken to document this. The only other additional features include a bored out 2.5 liter, new genuine leather, and an added Fuel Injection. Otherwise, the car has never been restored in any way.
Has anyone heard of such a production?
Is there a way to get it authenticated as unique yet original?
If it was placed on the resale market, should the carb be re-installed as well as the upholstery? Considering the engine has been bored out, would it still be considered customized?
here is a photo. And, don't mind the Fiat pics. That is my little restoration project.
