Selling a 1973 Porsche 911T

 

The last of the Porsche 911T models would be the 1973 Porsche 911T, as well as the end of what enthusiasts and aficionados call the “middle-years” cars. A few changes would happen during this model-year, including a fender-mounted oil-filler neck being removed from the right fender and repositioned in its traditional location under the engine lid. Interestingly, in the previous 1972 model-year, the oil filler had been moved to the right rear fender. However, owners were too easily mistaking the oil-filler as the gas-cap door with disastrous consequences. During this era of production, doors also received reinforced side beams to coincide with new safety regulations put in place by the United States. Other safety measures included inertia-reel seat belts and an exhaust system manufactured of stainless steel. Perhaps the most notable change to come to the 1973 Porsche 911T would happen mid-year when a new Bosch Continuous Injection System, or CIS fuel injection system, would be added. This would be the first production application of CIS and would give the 911T more than 140 horsepower. If you’re thinking about selling a 1973 Porsche 911T, these are some of the characteristics and trivia tidbits that will attract them to your particular model.
