BaT Description:
This 1972 Porsche 911T Coupe was purchased by the seller from a fellow PCA instructor in 2009 and rebuilt over a four year period with Markus Blaszak, a Porsche mechanic and race-car builder based in Kingston, Ontario. The primary basis for the build were period FIA 1971 Appendix J Group 4 specifications, and the duo focused on simplicity, power/weight ratio, handling, and reliability. The twin-plug 2.5L flat-six was rebuilt by Steve Weiner and Rothsport, and the 5-speed manual was renewed at CMS Motorsport. Suspension and brake systems were upgraded, the car was repainted, and the interior was refurbished. The seller has added 4k miles since completion of the work, which is documented by some included records and photos. This 911T is sold with workshop and service manuals, numerous spare parts are included, and a clean Ontario title.
The silver repaint is described as adequate, with the seller noting some chips and normal wear present. He was thinking about repainting the car at a higher standard after the build was completed, and has not re-installed the rubber seals or worked on the door/hood gaps. The seals come with the car along with a few rally components. Some minor surface rust can be seen on the inside of the front fenders and on the top rear of the driver’s door. Other weight-saving modifications include an aluminum deck lid and polycarbonate rear window. The car was stripped for restoration and weight reduction, and had some period performance hardware on it when the seller acquired it. The body was sent off for metal repair and primer, with no filler being used. After the body returned it was reinforced in the engine and rear seat areas. Metal jacking points were added underneath, hidden mounting points for an FIA cage were installed, and the car was then shipped out for paint.
The original Carello JOD twin-bulb lights are said to work well, and Cibie replicas have been installed. The suspension was completely redone during the rebuild. New components include Bilstein shocks, Elephant Racing camber plates, Elephant Racing bushings, and uprated torsion and sway bars. The brake system was renewed with S-brakes up front restored by PMB and M-brakes in back. Street pads were fitted all around, and the master cylinder was refurbished with twin brake bottles up front. The 15″ Fuchs were restored by Harvey Weidman and wear Toyo Proxes R888s.
Inside, the black interior has been modified with a period Recaro racing bucket for the driver and a 70s Recaro performance seat for the passenger. Door panels similar to those used on STs were custom built with door pulls, and a custom carpet set is fitted in the rear. The 10k tach and remaining gauges were sent out to North Hollywood Speedometer for restoration, and the dash was restored along with a 380mm steering wheel. The odometer shows 80,493 miles and is believed accurate by the seller. Electrical disconnect switches have been added inside and out of the car, and there are twin ignition switches inside for starting and fault diagnosis.
Power is derived from a twin-plug 2.5L short-stroke flat-six that features Mahle pistons, Weber 46mm carbs, and twin oil coolers. The engine is equipped with headers and a twin exhaust but no heat exchangers. It was shipped to Steve Weiner and Rothsport in Oregon and then rebuilt using nothing but the original engine case. It was dyno’d at Rothsport at 261 hp, and was sent back to Blaszak for installation. The transmission was stripped and the casing was sent to CMS Motorsport for renewal. It was then reassembled by Blaszak and the seller with new shorter gear stack, strengthened bearing housing, strengthened main shaft, new synchros, and a ZF multiplate LSD set at 40% lock-up. A new fuel system with a 110-liter fuel cell and dual fuel pumps was fitted, and the car comes with an FIA vent valve for the fuel cell that has not been installed. The electrical system was refurbished and then modified for the twin ignition, twin fuel pumps, and auxiliary driving lights. The results from the dyno can be seen in the photo above, and some records and pictures from the restoration are available. A service and road test was performed by Blaszak before the car was put away for the winter, with a compression and leakdown done. A collection of spare parts, rubber seals, rally items, workshop manuals, and service manuals also come with the car.
