This sensationally original 911 T was sold new in mid-1970 to Harry E. Brandenburg Jr., a young US-based government contractor, who arranged European delivery of the car through a Porsche dealership in Dublin, Ireland. After driving it in Europe, he shipped the car to his hometown of Vienna, Virginia. Finished in Blutorange (Code 2323) with an unusual beige leatherette interior, this 911 T is particularly desirable as it features a dogleg-pattern five-speed transaxle – a rare option for the model. Registration cards on file chronicle the vehicle’s light use, with just 15,112 miles showing at the time of cataloguing.
After nearly 46 years under one owner, and over 33 years in storage, the car was sold in January 2016. The longtime owner attested that the original paint on this 911 saw rain only twice – when he encountered unexpected weather – and that the car was never driven over 80 mph. The consignor purchased the 911 in 2016, and had marque specialist Klub Sport Racing of Riviera Beach, Florida, recommission it to running and driving condition, with records on file. Cosmetically, the car was only carefully cleaned; the consignor believes the paint to be original, with the only refinished area being on the right side of the car, after brake fluid dripped on it during transport. The Porsche is complete with manuals, service documents, Irish tourist license plate and registration book, tools, and jack. Exceedingly rare in its current state, this irreplaceable 911 would be ideal for preservation-class display.
