Guys, this gold 1971 Porsche 911T is peak analog joy: air-cooled, carbureted, beautifully restored, numbers-matching, dripping heritage, and absolutely ready to thrill every single drive.
Overview
SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 1971 Porsche 911T Coupe showing 1,328 miles on the odometer at the time of this cataloging. Finished in Gold Metallic over a black leatherette interior, this air-cooled 911 is offered by Miami Garage Classics with a Certificate of Authenticity, restoration documentation, service records, original booklets, and a clear title.
The 911T established a name for itself in the sports car universe over 50 years ago for its balance and its classic air-cooled driving experience. As a touring-oriented car, it was positioned as a no-frills, analog offering and it delivered raw carbureted power, a fully independent suspension, and standard four-wheel disc brakes.
This eye-catching, unique Gold Metallic coupe comes from the last phase of the carbureted 911 models. It was treated to a cosmetic and mechanical restoration that exceeded $70,000 in expenditures in recent years. The car was brought back to life both inside and out, remaining accurate to its included signed Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. Even intricate components like the seals, hood struts, and hardware were replaced wherever possible.
The restoration process was documented in a photo gallery, and while not concours-level perfect, the final product is described as an exceptionally well-restored and mechanically-sound 911. It is an icon from the final phase of carbureted Porsche motoring, and its rebuilt, numbers-matching flat-six is ready to deliver miles of analog touring bliss.
