Completed in July of 1971, this beautiful Porsche 911T was bound
for the U.S. market, spec'd with its rare Gold Metallic paint,
front and rear stabilizer bars, a retractable antenna and speaker,
its appearance group and tinted glass all around. It was sent to
Holbert's Porsche Audi, Inc., in Warrington, PA. In 1971, the MSRP
for this 911T was $7,289.95, but its first owner would add a few
special options to the car at the dealership. Purchasing the car on
September 7th, 1971, Max Karl Zoellin of Ottsville, PA would add a
Blaupunkt AM-FM Radio and Fuchs Alloy wheels to the tune of an
extra $570. According to the original sales invoice he paid a total
of $8,243.50 out the door, leaving with an exceptional 911T to be
enjoyed for years to come.
Enjoying the car thoroughly, Max drove the car quite a bit. Adding
most of the miles in the first two years, Max was sure to follow
the maintenance schedule and the maintenance booklet has all of the
intervals stamped and marked. The 911T was on the move with Max,
with paperwork showing the Porsche's registration was renewed in
Tennessee in April of 1973. In August of 1973 a major service and
lubrication was performed with the 911T showing 36,388 miles. After
an 11-year period with less than 9,000 miles added, Max had a major
service performed in August of 1984 at the same dealership that he
purchased the 911T from. In December of 1986 had a valve adjustment
done at German Motors of Kingsport, Tennessee. Cherished and well
taken care of, the gold 911T would remain with Max and his family
for almost 45 years. In 2016 Alex Finigan would purchase the 911T
and become the second owner. He took the car to have a sympathetic
mechanical refreshing to the tune of $4,754. Shortly afterwards,
Paul Hageman purchased the car and became the third owner,
marveling at the car's overall originality and stunning gold
color.
The gold 911T arrived at Canepa and was immediately surveyed,
noting that it was in exceptional condition and obviously very well
cared for throughout its life. Beginning the "Canepa Difference"
treatment, which includes all cosmetics and mechanicals, the car
was completely hand washed underneath revealing the factory
finishes. The engine compartment, trunk and interior were all given
similar treatment, ensuring all surfaces and materials were cleaned
to perfection. The original interior was given extra care, with the
original leatherette surfaces gently cleaned along with the
original carpets and dashboard. The Gold Metallic paint was
polished to an amazing sheen using only foam pads and polish,
giving the color such a depth that you can get lost in it.
The mechanicals were subjected to the same Canepa scrutiny that
ensures the best driving examples, and this 911T was an excellent
example and needing very little. A full mechanical comprehensive
service was performed, checking and servicing every system that
required attention. Palo Alto Speedometer disassembled, cleaned and
rebuilt the gauges and calibrated them, the original Fuchs alloy
wheels were wrapped with new tires, the hood shocks were replaced,
the shifter was adjusted and the windshield washer system was
repaired. A new master brake cylinder was installed and the engine
surround sheet metal, exhaust manifolds and muffler were restored
with factory-spec finishes. Finishing off the mechanicals was a
full alignment, resulting in the 911T driving like a long hood
dream.
With an exceptional single-owner history for 45 years, well
optioned from the factory in the stunning Gold Metallic color,
along with its wonderful originality, this 911T is ready to be
enjoyed and driven wherever you may want to go. From the occasional
morning coffee to a cross-country road trip, this car is your
golden opportunity to experience a proper, very original long hood
Porsche 911.
