BaT Description:
This 1971 Porsche 911T was purchased in 1981 by the sellers mother from the original owner. The seller purchased it from her two years later, and to the best of his knowledge the car has resided in east San Diego for its entire life. A repaint in correct Light Yellow was commissioned in the late 1990s. A 2.7-liter flat-six from a 1975 911S was rebuilt and installed approximately 20k miles ago, and is mated to the numbers-matching 5-speed manual transmission. Engine modifications include 90mm Carrera RS pistons and cylinders, 911E camshafts, Weber 40 IDA carburetors, early-style stainless steel heat exchangers, Dilivar head studs, and updated tensioners. Additional alterations consist of newer Porsche front seats and a Sony CD player. Approximately 100 miles ago Black Forest Automotive adjusted the valves, serviced the brakes, changed the oil, and more as detailed below. A compression test was also performed in February 2018. This 911 is being offered with service records, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, factory books, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
This 911T features the factory Comfort Equipment package. The Light Yellow (62) repaint is now 20 years old and is claimed to be in driver-level condition. The seller describes exterior flaws as areas of cracking, numerous scratches, two golf ball-sized dents, and rust bubbles at the base of the rear window and on the lower portion of the doors. Known flaws are highlighted in the extensive photo gallery below. Polished 15″ Fuchs alloy wheels wear 215/60 series Yokohama YK420 tires all around. The sidewalls display some cracking due to age.
he cabin features black leather front seats from a 1980s-era 911 along with a wood shift knob and a Sony CD player. The remainder of the interior appears to be stock, including the original thin-rim steering wheel depicted below. This is a factory A/C car without a sunroof, and the black headliner is shown in the photo gallery. Additional features include an alarm system, anti-theft ignition switch, and an on-board battery tender. Currently, the odometer shows 95,250 miles.
Power comes from a rebuilt and modified 1975 911S 2.7-liter flat-six featuring 90mm Carrera RS pistons and cylinders, E camshafts, Weber 40 IDA carburetors, and early-style stainless steel heat exchangers.
