The 1969 Porsche 911 would be the first year that substantial changes would occur for this popular model. The wheelbases of its 911 and 912 series cars were lengthened by 2.4 inches, greatly improving their driving responses. The front fenders and rear-quarter wheel openings were flared slightly to accommodate wider wheels and tires. The heating and ventilating systems were upgraded from the previous year’s model, along with other numerous other interior and exterior updates.

By the time 1973 was upon us; three variants of the 911 were available, the 911E, 911S and the 911T; all of these were available in either a Coupe or Targa body style. Development had continued and for all 911’s, the small front horn grilles, indicator surrounds and rear light housings were all made from black plastic. The 2.4-liter models, such as this car, now had rectangular wing mirrors versus the rounded type. The problematically-placed oil tank was again located to its former position to prevent the unfortunate and inadvertent fuel fill-ups.

One of a reported 10,173 Porsche 911T Coupes built for the 1973 model year; this is a handsomely presented car that has the optional five-speed manual transmission matched to its flat six-cylinder engine. Additionally this 911T features a primarily black interior with black and white patterned front seat inserts and fold-down rear seats. Fuchs forged alloy factory wheels, Goodyear Eagle Sport tires, Alpine audio, four-wheel disc brakes and the front-located spare are all part of a platform that is, by all appearances, clean throughout.
