isn't a 1973 911T supposed to have a 2.4 carburated engine in it?

[billwagnon]

73 T should be 2.4 MFI

sounds like this beauty has a story!

[cegerer]

Not sure about the 911, but they seem to be having a close-out sale on RS200's????????

A U.S. '73 T should have 2.4 MFI, and a 73 1/2 T should have a 2.4 CIS engine.

It should also have solid rubber bumperettes, and black surround trim on the turn signal lenses, as well as black plastic horn grills. Seems to have none of these.

A T could be ordered with an S trim package, still says T on back, and is a T, but you get all the little shiny bits

But Jeff, the T, E, and S, all had the black treatment for '73.

[Tim Walsh]

ya it seemed really strange to me.... especially when it said it's all original including the 2.7 liter engine.

[Wayne 962]

They are probably confusing the CIS engine with a 2.7L...

I wondered about this - because my '73 T with S trim has all shiny bits, except the horn grilles. Does this mean my car is unoriginal???

the 2.4, the Porsche letters, the intake grille etc are shiny.

[Tyson Schmidt]

I think you could special order the silver trim, if that was your thing.

But I'm pretty sure you HAD to have the solid rubber bumperettes. Those were necessary to meet the 2 1/2 mph impact standards in the U.S.

[billwagnon]

Tyson,

The bumperettes (sounds like cheerleaders!) are solid rubber. It does have the S trim, but the grille doesn't look like it was ever black, it's silver through and through.

Thanks.

[Tyson Schmidt]

That makes sense. It could very well have come that way originally. The chrome grills go with the silver surround lenses.
