for sale
Price: US $45,000.00
Price: US $45,000.00
Offered for your consideration is an extremely rare
1971 PORSCHE
911T Sportomatic
with
54, 000 original miles
. It is a
matching
numbers car
per my friend who bought it in 1996 and had been with him for
the last 20 years before we took ownership in April 2017. As you can see in
pictures, it has been driven, but it has been well taken care of. We have
receipts and service records from 1996 on. It has the rare 4-speed Sportomatic
transmission that is a clutch-less manual; rare, because most Spotomatic cars have been converted
to a manual transmission for ease of maintenance.
Pros:
This 911T is definitely one of the
few unmolested
long hood
PORSCHEs
left with the
original 4-speed Sportomatic
transmission
. Quirky or not, this car needs to be preserved because it is
part of PORSCHE
history with very few original Sportomatic cars left on God’s green earth! It was
PORSCHE’s
very first attempt to make an automatic transmission starting in 1969 and it
worked well when kept in fine fettle. Just received a full tune-up, newer
torque convertor and a fully rebuilt transmission servo and transmission oil
pump. This 4-speed Sportomatic shifts like it should. Those who have driven a
Sporto will know that it is the real grandfather of modern day PDK and not the
Tiptronic. Believe it or not, it can be shifted faster than a manual due to the
lack of clutch!!
It has the
original 2.2L engine
that was completely rebuilt in 2011 at a cost
of $20, 000 with JE forged pistons and 2.4-liter cylinders. It has
the original PORSCHE mechanical fuel injection
and it runs like a champ.
We have
50 to 60 pages of receipts totaling around $50, 000
from the last 21
years and all the maintenance and upgrades performed are listed.We have a
clear NEVADA title
on hand.
Good brakes and most all other
ancillaries according to the repair shop. Two new long-life AGM batteries are
installed.
It has the
factory sunroof
and all glass is in good shape too.
The 15” wide wheels look the part
and appear to be original
FUCHS wheels
according to most experts.
Overall a very good candidate to
fully restore it back to factory specs considering the
skyrocketing appreciation long hoods are enjoying in the recent past
;
or heck, enjoy it as-is as an RSR replica with all the right patina on it!
Previous Owner bought the car in
Canada in 1996 (bill of sale included) and it must be a
Canadian model with the speedometer being in kilometers
(86, 000
kilometers=54, 000 miles). The Canadian cars have almost no emissions hardware
compared to contemporary US models and the fuel injected 911T was better
performing than the European carbureted 911T. A PORSCHE Certificate
of Authenticity would reveal more of the early history.
Cons:
The engine has developed the
dreaded 8th main oil leakage from behind the crank pulley for the
last couple of years and it has been fixed temporarily with the aluminum sleeve
solution. It still seeps along a bit.
Some of the external rubber parts
are showing their age (46 years!)
Due
to the age of the car, this PORSCHE is listed it as-is. No warranty is offered or
implied. I can arrange to view the car by appointment. No joy rides unless
you have cash in hand.
Once again, original Sportomatic 911s is super rare
and they don't come up for sale very often; we see two cars on eBay at the moment.
Please bid to win. A non-refundable deposit of $500 is due via
PayPal within 24 hours of winning the auction. The balance is payable within 5
days by wire transfer unless prior arrangements are made. The vehicle will not
leave my possession before full payment is received. Shipping is the sole
responsibility of the new owner. Car is listed elsewhere and we reserve the right to cancel the ebay listing should it sell. Scammers please take leave. We have seen and played every trick under the sun!
I will ship the car anywhere in the world. I can get it to
your shipper of choice at the Los Angeles port for a reasonable amount.
