The Porsche 911 T served as the entry-level model for the revered F-Body, or "longhood," generation. In 1969, Porsche extended the 911's wheelbase by 57 mm to improve handling stability, a change that defined this era. Engine displacement grew throughout the production run, starting at 2.0 liters, increasing to 2.2 liters in 1970, and finally to 2.4 liters for 1972. This period saw a transition from Weber carburetors to Mechanical Fuel Injection (MFI) and later Bosch K-Jetronic (CIS), creating distinct variations.
Collectors prize the 911 T as an accessible entry into classic longhood ownership. It delivers the quintessential analog 911 experience and timeless style without the high cost of the more powerful E and S models. Its simple mechanicals make it relatively easy to work on, and its LWB chassis provides more predictable handling than earlier short-wheelbase cars. The 911 T is a popular foundation for both period-correct restorations and custom "hot rod" builds.
The market for the 911 T is mature and varied, with an average sale price around $78,000. Condition is the primary value driver, with basket-case projects at the low end and concours-quality, matching-numbers examples fetching well into six figures. The 1972-73 models with MFI are particularly sought after, especially if the original injection system is intact and functioning correctly. Overall, the 911 T remains a cornerstone of the vintage Porsche market.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest concern. Thoroughly inspect the front suspension pan, rocker panels, floor pans, and the areas around the front and rear windows.
- Verify the engine and transmission are "matching numbers" using a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, as this heavily influences value.
- For 1972-73 MFI cars, confirm the system is complete and well-maintained. Many were converted to carburetors, and finding MFI specialists can be difficult and costly.
- Scrutinize any modifications. While period-correct upgrades can add value, poor quality "hot rod" builds can hide structural issues and be expensive to correct.
- Check the 2.4-liter magnesium engine case for signs of pulled head studs, a common and expensive repair. Look for oil leaks and receipts for engine work.
Prices range from as low as $6,000 for major projects to over $425,000 for top-spec, concours-quality examples.
