Classic Porsche longhood in , fornia. Enjoy the simple, old-school, analog (non-computerized) experience of owning one of the last carbureted open-air, air-cooled Porsches. The 911T was built as a touring car — meant to take the top off and cruise in style, which it does, wonderfully.
This original, unmolested very good driver-quality, long-wheelbase longhood (F-model) 1, and imported into in December 1969. Originally Irish , it was disassembled and resprayed in ( hia?) red by a previous owner, features a flawless black leatherette interior, and is powered by a 2.2-liter flat-six paired with a freshly-rebuilt (<500 miles) original 4-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes S-package instruments and oil tank with level sensor, 15″ Fuchs wheels (with Fuchs spare), a brushed stainless steel ga bar, a black removable roof panel, locking front hood, heater, heated rear window, newer carpeting and coco mats, front and rear seat belts, and a custom shift knob. This 911T ga is offered with a clean fornia title.
The car features H1 headlights with sch 4487 lenses (used on SWB) that follow the slope of the fender, rather than the H4 lenses with sharp edge at the top (“sugar scoop” headlights are included in sale), a driver-side mirror, square-lipped chrome exhaust tip, original partial tool kit/pouch, original owner’s manual with plastic pouch, and original keys with pouch.
15″ Fuchs wheels feature new 195/65R15 True ct Tour tires. All brake lines have been replaced, and the front discs were replaced/overhauled in 2019.
The cabin is upholstered in black leatherette, which was customized by a previous owner who worked in the custom upholstery department at the Porsche r plant in . It features customized French seam stitching along the edge of the instrument gauge binnacle and along the edges throughout the cabin. Additional equipment includes a locking glove box, a period-correct refurbished Blaupunkt Frankfurt AM/FM stereo radio, and a custom shift knob.
The four-spoke wrapped steering wheel fronts a 150-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,400-rpm redline, a clock (not working), and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 61XXX miles, and the total mileage is unknown.
The air-cooled 2.2-liter flat-six is engine number *6106040* which is correct for the car model/year (911/07 to 6107999, ). Power is sent to the rear wheels through the original 911/00, #7000247, 4-speed manual transmission, which was recently rebuilt (12/23). (note: If 4 speed was good enough for the 930 turbo, it was good enough for me)
