Details

This 1973 Porsche 911T features a 3.2-liter flat-6 engine from a later 911 model year connected to a 1986 Carrera's 915/73 5-speed manual transmission and is finished in Ivory with a black interior. The powertrain conversion, a bare-metal repaint, an interior makeover and the addition of a sunroof roof panel were all part of the 2010 refurbishment. Refinished 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels, an Elephant Racing oil cooler and 911S trim are among the extra features. This car originally had a Silver finish and came with tinted windows and an S front spoiler and trim. A sunroof clip was welded in during renovation and H5 halogen headlights have been installed. Al Reed in California reconditioned the 16-inch Fuchs wheels with staggered widths, 6-inch in front and 7-inch in back. Reproduction sun visors, black and Charcoal carpet, and black upholstery with Pepita seat inserts from Autos International were added to the remodeled interior. There is a rear defroster; however, it is not hooked in. A 1984 Carrera tachometer is in front of a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The seller states that Palo Alto Speedometer fixed the speedometer so it would function with the electronic speed sensor found in the later-model transaxle. The actual number is unknown; however, the five-digit odometer shows 582 miles since the engine reseal. Before the engine was mounted, Ollie's Engineering finished the valve job and fitted new chains, guides, seals, clutch, clutch cable and related hardware. Elephant Racing fitted a new S-style oil cooler and lines, as well as a high-torque starter and fuel pump. The Bosch Motronic ECU unit has been rebuilt.
