Among the final examples of Porsche's desirable "long-hood" design, this 1973 911T Coupe combines the purity of its original numbers-matching 2.4-liter MFI flat-six with extensive, professionally executed upgrades that transform it into a capable Gentleman's rally/touring car. Restored and thoughtfully enhanced by respected Porsche specialists, this 911T presents as a superbly balanced blend of originality, performance, and refinement. According to the Certificate of Authenticity, this 911 was originally equipped with US equipment, forged alloy wheels, manual antenna, loudspeaker, comfort equipment, front spoiler, tinted glass all around, and Pirelli tires.

In December 2015, the 911 was acquired by Jim Liberty of Liberty Motorsports in Costa Mesa, California, a marque expert known for his work with 356s and early 911s. Over the following two years, the 911 underwent a custom restoration and performance build. Delivered initially in Sepia Brown, it was finished in Slate Grey. Externally, the 911 received a steel S front bumper, aluminum bumper trim, chrome bumperettes, European H4 headlights, and Italian side markers.

The current fastidious owner acquired this 911 in 2020 and further elevated it into a refined Gentleman's Touring Hotrod. Between 2021 and 2022, the numbers-matching engine was comprehensively rebuilt by Goritz SixFix in Costa Mesa, California, to a high-compression 2.4-liter to 911 S+ specification. The work included the fitment of 90 mm Mahle pistons within Biral cylinders, rebuilt cylinder heads, the long-block was completely rebuilt, Carrera chain tensioner upgrade was installed, oil-bypass modification, and oil-pressure piston update. The mechanical fuel injection (MFI) system was rebuilt and calibrated to 911 S specification, and the throttle bodies and throttle stacks were restored. The distributor was recurved to 911 S profile, while the cylinder heads were ported to 911 S specification. A new clutch assembly was installed, along with a Dansk Sport Exhaust system. Output is estimated at a robust 195-205 horsepower. The braking system also received attention, including rebuilt brake calipers at PMB Performance, with new brake pads. An Elephant Racing front oil cooler, through-the-grille front driving lights, and Euro rear fog lamp. The 911 recently had a brand-new set of Pirelli CN36 tires mounted to factory-finished 15 x 7-inch Fuchs alloy wheels, aligned and corner-balanced by Joey Seely of E-Motion Engineering in Costa Mesa, California. The stance was lowered and complemented with Koni Classic shock absorbers, new bushings, and a carbon-fiber/aluminum strut brace.

Scott's Independent in Anaheim, California, recently serviced and resealed the transmission with new gaskets. The MFI system and the original case was shipped to Hamburg, Germany, for specialist work, underscoring the quality of the restoration. Since completion, approximately 3,300 miles have been covered, ensuring proper sorting and drivability.

The paintwork is in pristine condition and presents incredibly well, with excellent gaps and panel fit. The interior was upholstered with Italian Burgundy leather upholstery, with Black dash and door pockets, houndstooth inserts, a black headliner, and sun visors. An original Becker Europa AM/FM radio with Bluetooth was rebuilt in Europe. Other interior upgrades include a rare 370mm Momo Le Mans steering wheel imported from Holland (the original wheel included), new seals throughout, LED interior lighting, a new front windshield, and CoCo mats.

Complete with the original tool kit, jack, owner's manual, sales brochure, complete, detailed, and itemized restoration receipts, Certificate of Authenticity, and two steering wheels, this 911T represents a rare opportunity to acquire a long-hood Porsche that has been elevated beyond factory specification. Finished in a stunning color combination of Slate Grey finish, bespoke interior, uprated suspension, and high compression engine delivering over 195 horsepower, it stands as a beautifully executed example of the "gentleman's rally car" ethos.
