1973 Porsche 911T, IN# 9113102098, on-sunroof coupe, ery original, emi-restored, xcellent condition, atching numbers engine, epia Brown, IS injection, roduced in 03/73 and commonly referred to as a 1973.5, s only the 911T cars produced from Jan '73 through July '73 had the CIS injection and other updates, ut still enjoyed the lighter weight and classic look of the "Long Hood & Small bumpers".These are the most desirable of the early 911's, ecause of the relatively torquey new 2.4L flat-six engine, nd the new 915 gearbox, both having been introduced in '72, nd now improved with addition of CIS injection, eplacing the T model's Solex carburetors. The E and S models cars still used the older "MFI" injection, hich was a little racier, ut not very efficient or well behaved. The CIS injection system is very smooth and well mannered, nd this 911T will pull 5th gear easily from 1500 rpm without a hiccup. A recent leak down test showed less than 4% leak down on all six cylinders, hich is exceptional by anyone's standards, nd supports the strong running performance this 911T delivers. Interestingly, nly the 1973.5 CIS system has the injector in the cylinder head, s all subsequent models ('74-on) moved the injector to the intake manifold. These 1973.5 911T's were very unique, nd only produced for the last six months of the model year before the new "74 model cars came out with the big bumpers. It was the swan song of the early series 911's. This particular car was delivered August 10, 973 by Williams Porsche -Audi in Lansing Michigan to Keith Muntyan of East Lansing. It received the 1000 mile service just 6 days later at 653 miles. The car's provenance includes the original maintenance booklet containing this information, s well as stamps for the 10,000 mile service, 0,000 mile service, nd 100,000 mile service. There are also many individual service records dating from to 1991 - 2002 where the car was located in San Rafael and San Francisco California.

Recent mechanical attention in the last 12 months include rebuilt shifter (front and rear), ebuilt rear brake calipers, ompletely restored oil tank, ew oil cooler, eals and gaskets, ll new oil lines, new OEM airbox, op-off valve, nd completely restored intake system.

All gauges and lights work correctly with the exception of the clock. The interior is original, s is much of the exterior, nd shows very well.
