The Model: The original Porsche 911, introduced in the autumn of
1963, was the bringing of a now famous, distinctive and durable
design. The Porsche 911 design has been a consistent platform of
improvements, studies, and resulting victories on the track.
�Mechanically, the 911 was notable for being a rear-engined,
air-cooled performance-focused car, which also translated into a
well-composed streetcar. The 911 series is often cited as being one
of the most successful competition cars ever. Between 1972-1973,
all models got a new larger 2,341cc ��2.4' engine. The 911 came in
three model variants, the T model, with the 130 HP 2.4, the E with
a 165 HP 2.4, and the S, topping the line, with a 190 HP 2.4. But
power was never Porsche strong suit, handling was where the company
excelled and in 1972 attention was paid to the details, with
modifications like moving the oil tank inboard from its original
location behind the right rear wheel. The move transferred the
entire weight of the oil sump system to a neutral position,
improving the handling of the already rear-heavy car. �Porsches
focus on the cornering ability of its cars continues today, paying
homage to the 911s of the early years.
�
The Car: Recipient of a well applied older restoration it remains
in lovely condition today. The finish only shows minor blemishes,
proving this was a gently used car. �The brown leatherette interior
shows only slight wear whiles sporting its authentic interior
components. This 911 is mechanically well sorted and ready to be
enjoyed touring and in vintage rallies. �As a solid driver or an
investment piece, this Porsche brings back a nostalgic feeling for
a line of sports cars whose history is just as important as their
modern-day achievements. � �
