911Ts right now are running anywhere from mid-teens to high twenties....at their peak about two years ago, Bruce Anderson was placing a mid-thirties value for an excellent example on these cars....but of course, several low mileage cars have been advertised as high as 100k!
Back in the 70's tangerine was a common color with domestic and foreign manufacturers. In college I had a 1972 Fiat 850 in tangerine and my buddy had an X19 in lime green (viper green). Add mustard yellow, electric blue, auberge, red and sepia brown and you had one hell of a rainbow of cars. An early 911T in its original color like tangerine would be a joy to own..........as for the "coveted factory colors"? Believe it or not Dr. Porsche's favorite color was Sepia Brown. He loved it so much his personal 928 was painted in Sepia. Today attitudes toward Sepia Brown vary. It never stopped me from buying a 1973.5T in Sepia.
Its all in how much you want to retain originality. If you have a chance to buy a "T" at a good price do not let the color be a deal breaker. They are getting rarer each year. You can always re-paint if necessary....
