It maintains a great degree of originality throughout, as the interior is only lightly worn and in good shape. All electrics are in good working order. The original Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio and Hirschmann power antenna both function well. The dash is in very good shape as are all seating areas and door panels. The dark brown Perlon carpets are in great condition and the car has brand new vintage coco floor mats, which really liven up the interior in a period correct vibe. Up front the car has new twin 6volt batteries, spare Fuchs wheel, original tool kit, and the jack. All the original side and rear glass is in excellent condition; the windshield is a new replacement. The car is presented in its original color combo of Bahia Red over Beige leatherette, having received one quality complete respray in its life span during the early 1980s. The odometer currently reads 26,000, with actual mileage believed to be 126,000 as documented through the service records. The original owner’s manual, radio manual, maintenance record book, vinyl folio, and 3 red factory keys are present with the car.
In 1985, the first owner replaced the 2.2L motor with a T-spec 2.4L motor #6530653 ordered direct from West Germany and air freighted over via Lufthansa cargo. As such, the car is not numbers matching but it was a worthwhile upgrade, as it performs much better than original. More recently, the current owner has had the correct date-coded Fuchs professionally refinished and fitted lowered ride height, Pirelli P6000 tires, and performance front and rear sway bars. Another noteworthy upgrade are Hella H4 headlamps, a welcome addition for night time visibility. Recent servicing includes; new Porterfield brake pads, all 4 calipers rebuilt, all fluids changed, new oil lines, fresh valve adjustment, new distributor cap, coil, spark plugs, and plug wires. Both front tie rods have been replaced, a fresh 4-wheel alignment has been performed, and the Solex carburetors were just rebuilt. All this work helps to make this 911T very reliable, fun, and daily drivable. The clutch operation is good and the transmission shifts smoothly and easily up/down in all gears.
If you are looking for an early 911 that you won’t be afraid to put some miles on, this would be a fantastic addition to your stable. This is one of the best documented early 911s on the market and it is ready for a third owner to enjoy the next chapters of its life ahead.
