The Porsche 911 T, introduced in 1967, represented an accessible entry point into the burgeoning 911 lineup, sitting beneath the more potent E and S variants. The 'T' designation, standing for Touring, belied a car still imbued with the unmistakable spirit and handling prowess of its brethren. These early "long-hood" 911s, produced until 1973, are particularly cherished for their pure, unadulterated design and lighter, more communicative driving experience before the advent of larger, heavier bumpers and more complex systems. The 1971 model year, in particular, saw the 911T utilize a 2.2-liter flat-six engine, offering a delightful balance of performance and tractability, paired exclusively with a precise manual transmission that invited driver engagement. This 1971 Porsche 911T stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of these iconic machines. With just 31,600 miles indicated, this example presents a compelling blend of originality and thoughtful restoration. Three years ago, it underwent a comprehensive bare-metal repaint, finished in a deep, lustrous hue achieved with high-quality Glasurit paint and clear coat, perfectly accentuating the graceful lines of its long-hood bodywork. Mechanically, the car has received recent attention, including the installation of a brand-new clutch assembly and fresh front shock absorbers, ensuring its driving dynamics remain sharp and responsive. This 911T offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented and mechanically sound example of an early, highly desirable air-cooled Porsche.
