My "new" '72 T
I've always wanted a long hood 911 and especially liked the oil filler door on the '72 911's. So, when this one became available I just had to have it. The car is matching numbers as verified by the COA. It's pretty darn solid with very little rust. First step is get the MFI engine running again (was running a couple of years ago) and then start the restoration.

You have to find a RHD car and install the "passenger" side part into your car.

This looks like a nice clean early car. I would just clean it up and enjoy.

Well, the paint needs help and it has some small rust areas. I want it done right so it will be getting new paint and interior over the next couple of months. I'm hoping the engine won't need much attention for a while. We'll see!

Very nice.
It seemed to idle well, get the engine sorted and drive it! Just looking at it a lot of the small expensive parts are there which is fantastic. You can get lost trying to hunt down all the parts for a restoration. |

That smoke might dissipate if you give it an Italian tune up. (drive it hard and fast) Better check brakes and other optional safety items first though.

Very nice. I picked up my 72 911T in pretty much the same condition 4 years ago. These things are like gold now.
