Leaf green 73.5

This car is just WOW!

Wish I had 72.5k to spare.


1973.5 911 T Coupe Survivor

Seems like a serious high end dealer as well.

Nice looking car. Few things to note: This 73.5T has a front oil cooler set-up, which would never have come from the factory on a 2.4T car. This might indicate that a P.O. had swapped out motors at some point for something more higher performance, and then swapped back in the original motor for the sale. Also looks like the car has yellow Bilstein sports in the rear.
Cosmetically the car looks nice overall: Paint is well done, except the overspray on the driver door VIN sticker which sucks. Dash cracks, fixed door pockets drilled for speakers, and worn carpet in a color that is impossible to match (I know, I have tried) are expected for a 40 year old driver. I think the car is overpirced, but I am not in the market for a longhood, and I am probably a little out of touch with today's crazy market.

The CoA says it came with an "auxiliary oil cooler"

That explains it. Thanks for posting. Wonder why the original owner ordered a front oil cooler set-up? The 2.4T CIS puts out appr 145hp. The only pre-74 911 cars which needed front oil coolers were those with 170hp or more. Maybe the dealer sold the original buyer an option the car didn't need. In any case, it's a nice thing to have.

Maybe the dealer ordered it for all of their cars in preparation for dealer-installed AC. It doesn't get that hot in Panama City but elsewhere in the south it's ridiculous.

• Winter is coming

• Prices are softening

• Sellers and buyers are not meeting in the marketplace

...but seriously, the feedback I've gotten is that on this specific car, the interior color doesn't work with the exterior color.

) It's the middle of July, plenty of driving time left
) Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough..
) The car sold a couple of days ago for almost full price (relative to the current asking price)


He also sold a 68S soft window targa for essentially full price 2 days ago...

Looks good at face value but he has had it for sale a good bit of time now and the price has gone up and then down again. Considering its a very cool color I am surprised it hasn't sold. My assumption is a few have passed on it for whatever reason. On another forum folks are saying its a CL flip so who knows. This dealer normally has cool stuff.

Hmm. Have them contact me. I have a long list of buyers who can't find cars at any price.
