Buying a 1971 Porsche 911E Coupe

The 1971 Porsche 911E Coupe would be part of the newly released D-Series of the illustrious Porsche 911 line. While it was nearly identical to the previously released C-Series of 1970, there were a few visual changes to the 1971 Porsche 911E that can help you distinguish it from its predecessor. A new twist knob was added to the center of the glove box, for example, and three-speed wipers with an intermittent setting were added. Porsche also took steps to advance rust protection measures by coating the exposed sections of the underbody with a hot-dip zinc coating. Mechanically, the 1971 Porsche 911E Coupe and Targa models would see the fuel pump moved to the rear of the car, a new chain tensioner that was sealed, and crankshaft oil-squirters. If you’re thinking about buying a 1971 Porsche 911E Coupe, it should be mentioned that many enthusiasts and collectors believe that these models with the additional rust protection and 2.2L engine are more desired than the earliest 911 models. This, of course, is personal preference.
