The 2.2-liter 911 T presented here was built in June 1971, originally retailed through Commonwealth Porsche-Audi in Boston and sold new to Henry Faulkner who cherished it for 48 years. Throughout his ownership, Mr. Faulkner kept meticulous records, which confirm the car’s current mileage – under 66,500 – as original. After purchasing the 911 in 2019, the second owner, Porsche specialist Naples Classic Car, performed a sympathetic recommissioning that addressed the mechanical systems while carefully preserving original details. Nearly $32,000 was invested during this five-month process, as documented by an invoice on file.
This highly original 911 presents beautifully after decades of care, recently being looked after in a prominent collection of Porsches. This example is finished in Bahia Red and equipped with Fuchs alloy wheels, Pirelli tires, and the desirable Comfort Equipment package, which included velour carpeting, gold emblems, aluminum doorsills, chrome rocker panels, and a leather-covered steering wheel, along with “S” trim and instrumentation. The accompanying Porsche Classic Technical Certificate for the car confirms that both the engine and transaxle are the correct matching-number components. Remarkably, the original window sticker, Bill of Sale, and extensive records accompany the car in an impressive history file. Additionally, the Porsche is offered with its original owner’s manual, service/warranty booklet, Blaupunkt radio manuals, antenna key, jack, tool kit, and date-coded spare, as well as the Porsche Classic Technical Certificate and Porsche Certificate of Authenticity.
