While the original 2.4 T was no slouch – delivering 130 hp in European trim – this mod brings it closer in spirit to the legendary 1973 Carrera RS, enhancing mid-range torque and throttle response without sacrificing reliability or originality. Combined with a professionally tuned setup and aeronautical-grade lines, the result is a sharper, more muscular car that retains all its vintage charm while being markedly more engaging to drive. Visually speaking, the car has been tastefully modified to resemble the earlier 2.2 T, with chromed details – modifications that are fully reversible. Finished in its original and rare “Seablau – 329”, it rides on optional original Fuchs wheels and is paired with a likewise optional 5-speed gearbox plus reverse.
Inside, the cabin has been reupholstered with period-correct “Recaro” seats with inner houndstooth fabric, and the roof has been redone not once but twice! (now in like-new conditions). Accompanied by its original tool bag, Use & Maintenance booklet, black “Milano” numberplates, and complete documentation including the Porsche Certificate of Origin and the Italian CRS certificate, this car offers a rare opportunity to own a historically significant, beautifully guarded and upgraded 911 that’s ready to be driven and enjoyed.
BALANCED, COMPOSED, ADDICTIVE
Driving a 1973 911 2.4 T is a multi-sensory experience that connects you to the road in a way modern cars seldom do. Period reviews from Road & Track described the 911 T as “precise, alert, and mechanically articulate.” With the enlarged 2.7-liter engine, this particular car delivers noticeably more torque, especially from low to mid revs, making it feel more urgent than the stock version without overpowering the chassis.
The revised suspension and improved 915 gearbox allow for smoother gear changes and more confident cornering. As Auto Motor und Sport noted in 1973, “The 911 remains the standard by which all others are judged in terms of steering feedback and braking poise.” That still holds true – especially in a well-maintained, sympathetically upgraded example like this one.
Even with the added performance, the car maintains the delicate steering, mechanical grip, and rear-engined balance that define early 911s. It’s a machine that rewards finesse rather than brute force – a driving experience that’s pure, involving, and timeless.
