The 1/2 Series was offered exclusively for the U.S. market. Beginning January 1, 1973, vehicles destined for the U.S. were delivered with the Bosch K Jetronic system. This replaced the previously used carburetors and mechanical fuel injection systems, offering advantages in daily use such as smoother engine operation, lower fuel consumption, and greater practicality for everyday driving.
The Porsche was initially imported from the U.S. to the Netherlands and was subsequently brought into the European Union from there. The relevant documentation is available. This includes the Dutch import certificate as well as the original U.S. title. The title was issued in the state of Maryland in 2002. At that time, the document showed a mileage of 82,824 miles.
Further evidence of the vehicle’s American history can be found right on the Porsche itself. The car still had its old, original Texas license plates from 1973. This suggests that the 911 likely spent a significant portion of its time in the U.S. in Texas.
In 2015, the Porsche was acquired by a private individual who had purchased the 911 from the Netherlands. Since then, the vehicle has been well cared for and regularly serviced. Over the past eleven years, routine maintenance tasks such as oil changes and brake service have been performed. In addition, the fuel tank was replaced.
Particularly noteworthy is the overall very good and authentic condition of the car. The Porsche is in significantly better condition than the average comparable vehicle. The underbody is in a remarkably original condition. The bodywork also shows largely untouched original material. Work has already been performed on the outer sills at the level of the door sills and the B-pillar, where slight traces of machining are visible. Aside from that, the vehicle conveys a very original overall impression.
The installed engine bears the number 6135670 and is a 2.4-liter unit from 1973. The 5-speed transmission bears the number 7730735 and also dates from 1973. To the best of our knowledge, both units are very likely the ones originally installed. However, a corresponding check of the matching numbers has not been performed. A Porsche certificate of origin is also not available, which is why we cannot definitively confirm the original configuration.
We also wish to remain transparent regarding the documented mileage. An original owner’s manual and invoices from the time the car was in the U.S. are not available. The mileage history is therefore not fully traceable. However, the figure of 82,824 miles listed on the U.S. title from 2002 is available and appears plausible given the vehicle’s overall condition.
It is precisely this combination of original substance, partially preserved original paint, classic Viper Green paintwork, original interior, and an interesting American history that makes this Porsche 911 T a particularly appealing vehicle. It offers the opportunity to acquire an early 2.4-liter 911 with authentic charm and a history that has developed over many years, without the vehicle’s character having been lost to a comprehensive restoration.
