'72 911E w/ 2.7 RS+ Engine
 

Offering here first and then in Pano.

White with black leatherette sunroof coupe. $19,000 OBO.

The car was recently mechanically restored and can be driven anywhere. Epitome of a driver, the paint and interior reflect the previous owner’s attempt at a restoration and are in decent - good condition. Door pockets are shot but the rest of the interior is all there and the elec s/r works fine. PO tried his hand at a restoration and did a new dash, seats, etc. Purists will note the ’73 shift lever and knob and wood-rimmed Personal steering wheel are not ’72 items but the former makes sense, given the outrageous mechanically-injected RS motor it’s now connected to. Original instrumentation--the Kph speedometer was replaced by PO but I have it and boxes of parts that all go with it.

I lovingly spent over $23,000 last summer to mechanically restore this car including the following:

Body: straight, rust-free sunroof coupe body

• Front half pan professionally installed, sealed and painted
  Gas tank re-sealed and painted
  Rear firewall panel under rear window replaced; another common but usually ignored rust area on early 911s
  Original steel S bumper with correct ’72 chrome bumper guards
  Older (early 90’s) white repaint has some orange peel. A decent “20 footer” overall. Small dent in LR Qtr panel.
  All trim was sanded and blacked out by PO.

Engine: very high quality rebuild by a long-time early 911 mechanic and finished last fall including:

• Late 2.7 7R magnesium case with all oil updates (still have the orig case)
  re-plated Nicasil 2.7 barrels
  new 9.7:1 90mm JR pistons
  SC oil pump and custom aeroquip oil feed hoses to original ’72 oil tank. Modifications made for front-mounted oil cooler.
  Carrera tensioners
  Rebuilt E MFI pump to RS specs by Gus @ Pacific FI
  Original throttle bodies bored and replated/adjusted
  Original E heads ported to 36/35 per RS spec
  All new Valves, Guides, Springs and Lifters
  Original plastic stacks bored out to 36mm
  WebCam S cams
  Bosch CD and Pertronix ignition
  All tin modified for better air flow
  Engine runs great with stock-type exhaust and SS exchangers

Transmission was rebuilt and updated to later 915 case with all new sliders and synchros. Original ’72 gear set.

Suspension: this car handles like a slot car and was setup for street and DE/Autocross

• New 22/28 torsion bars
  New Sport Bilsteins front and rear
  A struts with Carrera Calipers, Rotors & Pads in front
  22mm Sway bars front and rear
