1971 911T Coupe 5-Speed

The 1970–1971 911T continued as Porsche’s entry-level 911, positioned below the 2.2-liter 911E and 911S while benefiting from the full suite of C-Series updates, including the longer wheelbase and standard Fuchs alloy wheels. Its flat-six grew to 2.2 liters through an increased bore, bringing displacement to 2,195cc, and featured T-specific internals, larger valves, improved cooling, and twin Zenith carburetors. With 125 bhp at 5,800 rpm and 131 lb-ft of torque, the 911T delivered accessible performance and was also the only 2.2-liter 911 offered in a dedicated US-market specification as the E and S engines could be exported to the US without needing any compliance modifications.

This 1971 911T Coupe 5-Speed was finished in Light Yellow over a Black leatherette interior and showed 17,000 miles on a rolled odometer. It remained with its original owner until 2009 and had been repainted once in 1988 before receiving a full repaint again in 2023. The car was modified with sport seats, S-specification pistons, Carrera timing chain tensioners, Weber carburetors, and SSI heat exchangers, and under the current seller’s ownership it received further restorative work including refinished Fuchs wheels, H4 headlights, a new headliner, and dry-ice cleaning of the underside. Overall, a very nice example of Porsche’s entry-level 911.

Over the past twelve months, 1970–71 911T values have averaged $64,400, with a low of $17,000 and a high of $125,000, a figure reached by two examples this year. Given the condition and recent work on our Spotlight car, there was a chance it would join the other two cars at that top number or at least sit near the upper end of the range. It didn’t reach $125,000, but still performed well, hammering at a final bid of $94,500.
