For Sale: 1971 Porsche 911 in Bellevue, Washington

*1971 Porsche 911 T*There are few more identifiable shapes in the automotive world than that of the Porsche 911. Since its start in 1964, the shape of the 911 has gone through an evolution to keep up with changing customer expectations and requirements, but the silhouette has remained true to the original. In recent years, nearly all of the classic 911s have seen a spike in value and interest among collectors - with some of the most sought after being the "Long Hood" cars produced between 1964 and 1973. This example is a 1971 911 T that has been under the care of just three owners from new.Finished in Ivory over a black leatherette interior, this 911 T shows 56,342 miles which are believed to be original, and was delivered new to Baltimore, MD in June 1971. The consignor states the car was treated to a full respray under the first owner's care, sometime before 1990. It is said that this was done using paint sourced from Porsche in Germany to ensure it matched perfectly and was as original as possible. It worked well as the car received an award from the Porsche Car Club of America for preservation. As a 1971, this was the first model year that introduced hot-dip Zinc coating to improve rust-proofing which was hardly seen on any vehicles of this era. Sitting on a set of the quintessential early 911 wheel - the 5-spoke Fuchs, this car has the look that everyone hopes for with a classic 911.The interior is beautifully understated, with two comfortable seats up front wrapped in black leatherette and a pair of smaller seats in back which can be folded down to make a parcel shelf. Slide behind the large four-spoke steering wheel and you are met by Porsche's classic 5-gauge cluster with a big central tachometer, with a pair of dual auxiliary gauges to the left, and a speedometer and clock to the right. You will notice a small row of vents along the bottom of the dashboard at the passenger's side which are there due to the factory air conditioning system. Much like the exterior of the car, the interior is very original and presents pretty much as it would have when new with square-weave carpeting and a crack-free dashboard.Sitting behind the passenger compartment is a 2.2-liter air cooled flat-6 engine, which, in 911 T form is topped by a pair of Zenith 40TIN carburetors. In US trim, the car produces 125 horsepower and 131 lb-ft of torque and loves to rev to its 6,500 rpm redline. With a curb weight of just 2,249 lbs, this car is remarkably quick and the perfectly spaced gears in the dog-leg 5-speed manual gearbox make it a joy to drive. Mechanically the car has been well cared for and with a little bit of time spent cleaning under the engine lid, you could prepare this car for a return to the show circuit.Driving a classic 911 is a fantastic experience and is pretty much impossible to replicate in any other car. With the unique rear-engine layout, air cooled flat-6 engine and an unrivaled view out the windshield, these cars offer a satisfying drive and make a great conversation piece wherever you go. This example has been exceptionally kept over its life under the care of just three conscientious owners and will hopefully provide many more years of enjoyable motoring for whoever is lucky enough to have it in their garage.*Key Features* * Three Owners From New * First Sold in Baltimore, MD 6/17/1971 * Ivory White Over Black Leatherette * Repainted With Porsche Factory Paint * 2.2-Liter Air-Cooled Flat 6 Engine * 125 Horsepower/131 Lb-Ft of Torque * Solex Carburetors * 5-Speed Manual Transaxle * Dog-Leg First Gear * Factory Air Conditioning * Porsche Certificate of Authenticity * PCCA Preservation Award Winner*Additional Information* * Service Ledgers * Service Guides * Extensive Service Records * Books and Manuals * Ownership Documentation * Tool Roll * Period Brochures * Leather BraFor more information on this 1971 Porsche 911 T or any of our 100+ High-Performance, Exotic and Special Interest cars always in stock, contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable sales consultants or always feel free to drop by our 40,000+ sq ft of Indoor Showrooms in Bellevue, WA - Home of an Exciting Inventory of Luxury, Exotic, High Performance and Collectible Automobiles.
