[Strugs]

I took the number off the top of the fan shroud. The outfit that has it for sale states that the car had a transplant to a 3.2 litre engine. However, it has what looks to me to be a 3.0 litre from an SC. It has an air pump as pictured on page 82 of the 6th edition of Frere's 911 Story. The 3.2 pictured on the same page has no air pump, and states that the motronic system does not require it.

They have paperwork on the transplant job, which I did not have time to look at today. When I go back for the t.d. next week, I will probably find that it is a 3.0, not a 3.2 (unless it is an SC engine with a piston and cylinder upgrade). This outfit also told me the car was a 73 911S model on the phone. However, the rear deck is clearly badged as a 911T. Also the VIN is 9113100401, which proves it is a T not an S.

Well, maybe I can use these 2 sources of disinformation to my advantage when it comes to negotiating a price.

Does anyone know offhand what the main differences between T and S were in 73 apart form the engine? I have the Frere bible, but sometimes it gives me a headache looking for specifics like that.

As for the children's car seat and the boss (wife), it will be an uphill battle for sure. My current car is a definite death trap, and I would never put our daughter in it, so it is up for sale (I won't mention what it is on this board, for fear of starting a major flame war, but you can see pics of it if you click the web page on my profile). My wife is pleased it is going, but I need to find a suitable replacement and an early 911 seems like it would fit the bill.

Thanks for everyone's input.
