Stamps in the service book confirm that the 1,000 and 10,000 mile
services were done at the original selling dealer, Temple Porsche
Audi, in 1973. By their third service, February 1974 (13,845
miles), they had relocated to Mesa, Arizona and were using Johnson
Bozzani Porsche Audi. Later that year (1974) the Baldwins traded
their Green Porsche to Beverly Hills Porsche where it was sold to
the second and only other owner this car has had. He was an Orange
County California Sheriff who enjoyed the car on his days off and
sometimes performed minor services himself. His dedication to the
car was commendable and he kept a log of every service and parts
purchase during his entire ownership which spanned from December
15, 1974 to November 16, 2016 - on month shy of forty years.
After being purchased by European Collectibles it was determined
that the engine was worn out and needed a rebuild, so it was torn
down, machined and completely rebuilt with all new pistons, valves
and bearings. Prior to installation a new clutch was installed. The
work took several months and cost in excess of $20,000. During the
time this work was being performed all other mechanical systems
were check and repaired as needed. The work was completed in July
2017 and just 150 break-in miles have been driven. The car runs and
drives better than most we have ever had and is a favorite in our
shop. The Green Metallic paint is in very good condition and works
very well with the green full leather interior. This is a very
highly optioned, matching numbers Porsche 911T with desirable CIS
injection and host of desirable options including a sunroof and
air-conditioning.
