Description for Porsche 911 1971

This numbers matching 1971 Porsche 911T came from long term storage and was used sparingly by me. If you've seen the car around Ann Arbor, you know I had fun with it on my dirt roads but never abused or tracked it. It is not a trailer queen. It came to me with solid floors, rust issues and bad paint but I never wanted a perfect car. I fixed, cleaned, cad plated and customized it to my liking while keeping all the original parts in storage. It has a very rare combination of concave Cibié driving lights and headlights with some back dated touches like opening quarter windows, headlight buckets and a '66 green dial tach.
The engine is old with unknown mileage but still pulls strong. It has not been properly tuned this season after an engine out valve adjustment and clutch pivot pin replacement performed by Stephen Cramer of Autocore Performance Group in Waterford, Michigan. At which time the timing chains guides and clutch were inspected and determined to be in good shape. It pops and back fires, drips oil and has a high idle to keep it running during cold starts. The newly rebuilt Zenith carbs with modern jetting have not been dialed in but I feel the distributor may be hanging up causing the back fires. All that being said, it's a crusty, a little rusty but trusty runner with some unique flair.
