This exceptional '70 T we found not long ago in northern
California that sill sported it's original Signal Orange factory
paint. Purchased new at Carlsen Porsche/Audi on 8/10/1970, then
moved close by to San Mateo. It remained in the Bay Area for the
next 43 years.
This 911T was an excellent, rust free car with no signs of any
damage. However, after days of rubbing we couldn't bring the
original paint back to our standards. Therefore, we were forced to
repaint the car and per usual, that was only the beginning. With
our high standard for detail, once we make one thing on a car as
close to perfect as possible, it's very difficult for us to not
take it all the way to perfection.
The engine had great service records and had recently had the chain
tensioners rebuilt, but the update is cheap insurance and the
engine had to be cleaned anyway. We pulled it out, serviced and
cleaned it. Making sure the mechanicals are dialed in ensuring it's
next driver that it needs nothing.
The interior was original, but just didn't match the finish of the
engine and exterior. The carpet, headliner, dashboard, and door
pockets were redone and a set of German reproduction sport seats
were installed.
Since our completion, the T has been enjoyed by one of our long
term local clients here in North Carolina. Being the quintessential
car guy that he is, he meticulously maintained the 911 and brought
it to us with service needs. Only compiling approximately 1,800
miles in a few years, let's just say we know this particular 911T
very well.
Making a trip back through Road Scholars for it's second time, this
is a cool 911T in a very desirable color with its books, records,
and toolkit. Only in need of a new driver who wants to enjoy
everything an early 70's T represents.
