The year 1969 marked major changes in Porsche’s chassis design and model lineup. The wheelbases of its 911 and 912 series cars were lengthened by 2.4 inches, greatly improving their drivability. 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. For 1970 and 1971, engine displacement was increased to 2.2-liters across the 911 range, which now included the base model 911 T, the last 911 to carry carburetors. The T, E and S models were available in coupe or targa configuration, and a long list of extra-cost optional equipment was available.

The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity for this 911 confirms that it was ordered new with options including treated side glass, Michelin tires, velour in the luggage compartment, and the comfort package. This 911T has been restored by German Import Specialists in its original color combination of Tangerine with black leatherette interior and presents very well today. Its horizontally-opposed, six-cylinder engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Importantly, the engine and transmission numbers correlate to those listed on the certificate of authenticity, indicating that they have not been replaced. Extensive receipts and photos documenting the restoration, proper documentation, and a factory toolkit are included with the sale.
