Selling a 1971 Porsche 911E Coupe

 

The 1971 model-year would mark the beginning of the D-Series of Porsche 911 production. While practically identical to the C-Series of production, there was a few detail changes that, when inspected carefully, can help you easily identify a D-Series 911. For example, the most obvious change to the 1971 Porsche 911E Coupe was the addition of a new twist knob to the center of the glove box. Three-speed wipers with an intermittent setting are also a clue, while a revised, sealed chain tensioner is also a give-away. One of the most important advancements to come down the line during this era was the hot-dip zinc coating that was added to exposed sections of the underbelly to aide in rust protection. When selling your 1971 Porsche 911E Coupe, these are a few characteristics that you can point out to potential buyers. During the D-Series of production, it is estimated that 4,927 911E models were produced.
