BaT Description:

This 1970 Porsche 911E is a European-market sunroof coupe that was imported to the US from Germany in 1982, and it previously sold in March 2017 on BaT before it was acquired by the selling dealer in 2020. The car is finished in black over black vinyl upholstery, and power comes from a 2.2-liter flat-six paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Modifications include H4 headlights, a 911S-style front spoiler, and RS-style door cards. The left window regulator and weatherstripping were replaced during prior ownership in 2020. This 911E coupe is now offered at no reserve with a tool roll, recent service records, and a transferable British Columbia registration.

Delivered from the factory in Tangerine, the car was refinished in blue before it was repainted in its current black during previous ownership. A steel 911S-style front spoiler is fitted along with a Durant-look side mirror, H4 headlights with relays, and a pair of reproduction driving lights that are presently inoperable. Cracks and chips are noted on all body panels, there is rust present in the windshield corners and rear valance, there is a hole in the left passenger area, the high-beams and rear side marker lights are inoperable, loose wiring is noted in the front trunk, and the left door sags and does not align with the latch.

15″ Fuchs wheels feature colored Porsche-crest center caps and are mounted with 2017 date-coded Continental Pure Contact tires. Torsion bars replaced factory self-adjusting front struts during previous ownership, and a plate has been welded over the front control arm bolts. The suspension bushings, CV boots, and brake components were replaced by Luftech Motorsport of North Vancouver, British Columbia in July 2017. The steering wheel is noted as off-center by the selling dealer.

The cabin features Cerullo front sport seats trimmed in black vinyl, aftermarket seat belts, salt-and-pepper square-weave carpets, and Coco floor mats. RS-style door panels were fitted during previous ownership, and a Becker Mexico AM/FM/Cassette stereo is fitted in the dashboard. The leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel frames a central 8k-rpm tachometer, a 150-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and supplemental instrumentation in a pair of combination housings. The five-digit odometer shows 350 miles, and total mileage is unknown.

The 2.2-liter 911/01 flat-six is equipped with mechanical fuel injection and was factory rated at 155 horsepower and 141 lb-ft of torque. The engine is said to have been rebuilt by Otto’s European Coach Werks of Santa Monica, California in the early 2000s, and is fitted with pressure-fed chain tensioners. A valve adjustment and engine service were performed by Luftech Motorsport in July 2017. Oil leaks are noted by the selling dealer.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Type 901 five-speed manual transaxle, which the selling dealer notes will grind when going into first gear and also leaks. Corrosion is noted in the driver-side of the battery box and gas tank longitudinal. A PPI report written by the selling dealer can be seen in the gallery.
