I have decided to offer my '71 911 race car for sale (which I refer to as "806") and thought I would share the details here first. I have come reluctantly to the conclusion that this car belongs, like the airplane I sold a few years ago, in the hands of someone who will properly enjoy and appreciate it.
History:
This car was manufactured in January, 1971 and began life as a Light Ivory 911T, sold to an original owner in Fresno, California. The car remained there for the majority of its life, and was acquired in the mid-90s by a well-known club racer and enthusiast in the Northern Virginia area.
The owner had previously raced a silver 70S and totaled it at Watkins Glen. He bought 806 and spent thousands of dollars swapping all the 70S parts over to the 911T shell. This car was classified in PCA G-stock in those days, and had a great club racing career with many podium finishes in class. It was sold, including the S engine, to another club racer in Danbury, CT. The Danbury racer successfully campaigned the car for a couple years, again with podium finishes in class, until the S motor blew. Given the competition in G-stock, the decision was made to install an "E" motor instead and reclassify the car in H-stock as a 1971 911E. The similarities between the models allowed the car to be a "duplicate in all regards" with respect to the PCA club racing rules. It's currently classified in PCA "C-stock" as a 1971 911E. Until PCA offers a classification of COMPLETE BASTARD, 911E is it.
The 911E engine was built on a 911T case, a 2R. I guess the original case had a crack in the oil scavenge fitting, so the T case was substituted. Doesn't bother me in the slighest insofar as none of the numbers match anyway, and the T case was probably less stressed than the original given the lower power output.
My ownership:
I acquired the car in 2001 from the racer in Danbury as my first Club Racer. Ran it succesfully and gained a couple class podiums. Never any accident damage, period. The current spec list is basically to the limit of the PCA Stock Rule Book including:

The new paint was professionally done by Damon Josz at Series900 in Sunapee, NH. The car had a lot of paint chips, no battle damage on my watch, and we took the opportunity to weld up a lot of the little holes in the tub put there over the years by various oil cooler approaches. Vinyl meatball graphics were applied, these can easily be removed to suit your preferred livery. The tangerine trunk lid was a nice, dry California lid, if you aren't crazy about the Tangerine you can easily swap it for a different one, that's the only orange thing on the car. It's otherwise factory light Ivory throughout.
I have about $60,000 into this car between the original acquisition cost and all the upgrades-- the paint alone was about a $12,000 proposition, MFI restoration another $3,000, suspension parts and labor were $10,000.
Sale price is $35,000 FOB Tampa, Florida, as-is. Light Ivory steel trunklid, rear decklid, steel rear bumper available at extra cost FOB upstate New York.
I am happy to arrange shipping within the 48 Contiguous US States or from the nearest port internationally. (Hint hint to our German friends) Shipping at buyer's sole expense and responsibility.
I can be reached via Private Message or email through the BBS.
Thanks for looking!
Attention buyers from Lagos, Nigeria: I will require a deposit equal to 150% of the asking price in gold bullion before arranging shipment. Thank you.
2013 Update: Replaced battery with new Odyssey PC680. Drained storage oil from fuel system, changed engine oil, car starts and runs great. There is some white smoke from the exhaust from oil having drained into the heat exchangers over long storage-- this will burn off with driving.
