1971 911T Coupe Modified

As the entry-level 911 for the 1970 and 1971 model years, the 911T featured a 2.2-liter flat-six producing 125 bhp, compared to the 155 and 180 offered in the up-market 911 E and 911 S. Other differences included a 4-speed manual transmission instead of a 5-speed and an emissions-equipped engine for U.S. compliance.

This 1971 911T featured none of that, having been modified with a 3.0-liter flat-six and a 5-speed 915 manual transaxle. The 3.0-liter engine, sourced from a 1980 911, features rebuilt Weber 40 IDA carburetors, PMO intake manifolds, a fuel pressure gauge, MSD electronic ignition, an oil cooler in the right front fender, and exhaust headers. Externally, it has been fitted with steel fender flares, an RS-style ducktail spoiler, and a front bumper, while the interior sports Recaro Sport Seats, a roll bar with harnesses, and RS-style door cards.

Modified LWB 911s have averaged $94,000 over the past twelve months, with a low of $41,346 and a high of $190,000 for a Kremer ST tribute. I thought our Spotlight car was above average, with an estimate of $90,000–$120,000 based on comps with similar 3.0-liter builds. It sold just shy of that low estimate, at a final bid of $84,000. A solid buy for a nice build.
