BaT Description:
This 1970 Porsche 911E coupe was acquired by the current owner in 2016 and subsequently modified and refurbished. Work included a color change to chartreuse, a reupholstered interior, and rebuilds of the air-cooled flat-six and five-speed Type 901 manual transaxle by Reno Rennsport in Nevada. Additional equipment includes 15″ Fuchs wheels, Boge shocks, an RS-style steering wheel, black leather sport seats, a Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio, and a 911S front air dam, individual throttle bodies, electronic fuel injection, oil cooler, and brake calipers. Service performed in preparation for the sale included replacing the spark plugs and changing the oil. This 911E is now offered on dealer consignment in Oregon with recent service records and a clean Washington title.
Previously metallic red, the car was repainted in chartreuse after body work and rust repair were performed. A 911S front air dam has been added, and additional equipment includes body-color bumpers with chrome bumperettes and bumper bars, chrome trim, and gold decklid badging. 15″ Fuchs front wheels measure 6″ wide while the rears were modified to 7″ by Al Reed Polishing in Anaheim, California. Goodyear Eagle GT tires measure 195/60 front and 205/60 rear. The suspension was previously overhauled with replacement Boge shocks and new bushings before being aligned and corner balanced. The four-wheel disc brakes feature rebuilt alloy 911S front calipers and a replacement master cylinder.
The cabin has been fitted with black leather double-locker sport seats, a replacement black dashboard, and an Autobahn Interiors headliner, carpets, and vinyl panels. Additional equipment includes a heater, pop-out rear side windows, a rear window defroster, and a Blaupunkt Frankfurt AM/FM radio with a replacement dash speaker. An RS/914-style steering wheel with a “hockey puck” horn pad frames a centrally mounted 8k-rpm tachometer, a 150-mph speedometer, a clock, and gauges for fuel level, oil level, oil temperature, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 19k miles. Total mileage is unknown.
The 911/01 flat-six was rebuilt to 2.3-liter specification by Reno Rennsport with forged 85mm JE pistons for a 9.8:1 compression ratio. Additional features include:
- Reconditioned rods, rocker arms, and shafts
- Replacement main, rod, and intermediate bearings
- Replacement rod bolts
- Polished crank
- Later-style aluminum chain boxes
- Updated timing chains and guides
- Green ceramic-coated fan housing
- AT Power shaftless throttles bodies
- Haltech engine management system
- Clewett crank and camshaft triggers
- Radium Engineering fuel pressure regulator
- Internally regulated alternator
- Replacement axle boots and repacked axles
- Front-mount 911S oil cooler
- Service performed in preparation for the sale included changing the oil and replacing the spark plugs.
The five-speed Type 901 manual transaxle was also rebuilt with new synchros and new dog teeth on second and third gear.

Chartreuse is striking, but I think I would prefer the original Metallic Red.

Do you think the color change would hurt or help the value in this instance?

On BaT? Hard to say. I suspect the BaT-crazies will bid it way up as it is. In this case, the color change might be considered a plus. I'm not sure Red Metallic is all that popular with the general public.

If this 'E' still had its original Signal Orange and 15" Fuchs, it would probably fly off this dealer's lot.

Dealer Description:
Experience our 1971 Porsche 911 E Coupe shown in Polo Red! Motivated by a strong ORIGINAL 2.2 Liter engine producing ample power while paired with an accurate and smooth 5 Speed Manual transmission to create an engaging experience. This particular 911 E has been resprayed in a factory color, but not the original Signal Orange which is what shows on the Porsche COA. However, this car looks amazing in this shade of red! The paint job was done right, with no evidence of the original color to be seen in the door jambs, under the bonnet, or engine area. It appears that the interior may have been redone at the time of the paint job as well, as most of the materials look excellent. The engine and transmission were refreshed just about 500 miles ago with a tune-up, fuel injectors, new gaskets, belts, and shifter bushings. The car runs and drives great, see video below!
1969 brought the first substantive changes to the Porsche 911 lineup since 1964, which now consisted of three models: the 911T, 911E and 911S. All of these were available in coupe or targa body styles. The T was carbureted until 1972, while the E and S models were mechanically fuel injected, which this car retains. The T was the base model with the lowest horsepower. The E had a bit more horsepower and luxury features. This car was factory rated at 155hp and with only about 2,250 lbs to move about, it is quite fun! Porsche offers an unforgettable experience, you'll be glad you got your hands on this gorgeous Porsche 911. For over 55 years, the Porsche 911 has established itself not as an icon, but as an iconoclast. Make today your thrilling leap forward in classic air-cooled Porsche ownership.

I'm the BaT crazy that bought the chartreuse. I really look forwarded to becoming a member and diving in here on the registry. Now I'm going to go find out the best way to get that front bumper/lip back to stock.
Congratulations, welcome to Early S and enjoy the car!

LOL! Actually, I don't think your winning bid was all that crazy in this case. Nice buy!
To take care of the bumper, you need to replace it with a standard type, which will have fog light holes. So if you don't want fog lights you'll also (probably) want blanking plates and the little rubber trim for the blanking plates. (See picture of mine below.) You probably have the proper brackets on the current bumper. The bumper guards and trim will transfer to the stock bumper.
Of course, you will also need a paint shop who can match that chartreuse paint...
