Details: This 1973 Porsche 911T is a matching-numbers car with a factory sunroof, and stands as a splendid restoration candidate. The car was built at the factory in December of 1972, has been a California car for the vast majority of its life, and has held long term ownership for the last 25 years. It was initially sold new from a dealership in San Jose, CA in 1973, and the car held very limited ownership for the following 2 decades.

The car was put in long term storage from 1993 to the mid-2010s, and rediscovered in 2014 by a Northern California Porsche enthusiast, who found the car at a garage in Pacific Grove, CA complete with its original Blue plates, but needing a battery and some mechanical TLC before getting it road worthy. The car was purchased from the garage, and maintenance and service work were immediately commissioned to get the car back on the road. After acquiring the car, the owner had his Porsche mechanic remove the engine and perform a full service to it, updating parts where necessary and reinstalling it back to the car. A compression test showed 135 to 140 across the board (which is consistent for a 911T), and all cylinders were within 2%. After the initial mechanical work was performed, a new set of tires and a fresh battery were added to get the car back on the road.

The car shows in its original factory color of Gemini Blue. It has solid floors, a great body, and its original interior. There is slight surface rust as the paint is very thin, though the level of rust is minimal throughout. While a cosmetic restoration is needed, and the gas gauge will need repair, mechanically the car is in very good running and driving condition.

This 911T is full of potential, and is sure to make a great choice for the eager Porsche restorer or collector looking to have their restoration done their way. Receipts of the previous service work accompany the car.
