Seller's Introduction

Our team presents a 1972 Porsche 911T finished in its original Tangerine paint code 018 and showing 1,406 miles on the odometer. This example features a replacement 3.0 liter Bosch CIS injected flat six sourced from a 1978 to 1979 911 SC, paired with a five speed manual transmission. A comprehensive documented engine rebuild totaling approximately fifteen thousand dollars accompanies the car. It benefits from a high quality repaint in its factory color and several driver focused enhancements including air conditioning and RS style exterior components.

Overview

This 1972 Porsche 911T is being presented following a high-quality restoration and repaint in factory correct paint shade, now enhanced with performance-focused upgrades and period-appropriate component choices. Power is provided by a replacement 3.0-liter flat six bearing engine number 6292294 and designated 930/04, consistent with United States specification 1978 to 1979, 911 SC engines equipped with Bosch CIS mechanical fuel injection.
 
The engine rebuild is documented with invoices totaling $15,000. The factory 915 five-speed gearbox has been professionally re-geared to shorten ratios, reducing the tall gearing characteristic of period transmissions and significantly improving acceleration response and drivability. This upgrade is regarded as one of the most transformative performance modifications available for early 911s, and the car is reported to be notably fast and engaging to drive.

The chassis is supported by brand new Michelin SX tires and a recent four-wheel alignment, and the exhaust note is sharpened through old school SSI heat exchangers paired with a brand new M & K muffler system. A J West gated shifter provides precise mechanical engagement, and hand-painted restored factory gauges by John Bell ($1,500) provide crisp period correct instrumentation. The car starts and runs excellently, shifts cleanly, and all gauges function properly, including the clock.

Cosmetically, the vehicle wears a fully refinished Tangerine exterior with OEM steel Carrera flares, maintaining authentic metal structure rather than later fiberglass reproduction panels. The body retains its rare slick top configuration without a sunroof. Lighting has been upgraded with brand new H4 headlights, and paint correction and ceramic coating were completed in preparation for sale.
 
The interior features reupholstered cloth and vinyl seating with orange accents, RS-style rear seat delete and carpet kit, RS-style door panels, Rennline accessories, custom Coco mats, a 320 millimeter MOMO Prototipo steering wheel, and upgraded air conditioning with cold 134a output. Additional elements include a custom real carbon fiber CIS air filter cover, and rear compartment finishing consistent with the lightweight RS presentation.

True mileage is unknown due to pre-17-digit VIN formatting and unavailable Carfax and AutoCheck history. The odometer reads 1,406 miles following restoration and mechanical refurbishment. There is no known accident history, and the car presents as a mechanically sorted and cosmetically refined long hood 911 with desirable upgrades and high-quality restoration work.
