Buying a 1972 Porsche 911T Coupe

The Porsche 911 has become one of the most iconic sports cars ever produced. Known for being innovative, the German automaker would keep the Porsche 911 relevant for decades via strategic advancements in power and performance, and through styling changes. The 1972 Porsche 911T Coupe would mark the release of the second major 911 variation, as well as yet another increase in displacement to 2.4L. With this change, horsepower would increase across the 911 lineup. The 1971 Porsche 911T would boast 140 horsepower, the 911E would offer 160 horsepower, and the 911S would see more than 190 horsepower. The Coupe model, characterized by its fixed steel roof, would externally look like the Targa option, however there were a few changes for this new Porsche 911 variant. The engine air-intake grilles, for example, were now black instead of silver, and the mirrors would change shape from round to rectangular.

1972 Porsche 911T Coupe Buyer’s Guide

If you’re thinking about buying a 1972 Porsche 911T Coupe, it is important to remember that the pre-1976 Porsche 911 chassis was not completely galvanized. It is very important to inspect for rust. Start by walking around the car. It can be easy to spot problem areas with the paint, which can be an indicator of problems. You’ll also want to pay attention to the gaps on the body panels. You can also pull back the carpet and remove the spare tire. Check the front suspension pan in front of the fuel tank, between the battery boxes and around the boxes themselves. You’ll also want to inspect the fenders, the underside of the car, and doorsills. While a little rust should not deter you from purchasing a Porsche 911T Coupe, you do want to have a thorough understanding of what you’re getting in to. For the soundest advice, be sure to have a third party inspection performed by a qualified Porsche mechanic. While this may cost you a few hundred dollars, it can save you thousands in the long run.
