The story behind this collectible...
- They've outlasted hippies, disco and yuppies. Is it any wonder they hold their value so well? -
In 1964, the Porsche "901" was born in Stuttgart. After Armand Peugeot and Ferdinand Porsche had argued over the 0 in the middle, Ferdinand chose eggs for his money. Something to do with the motto; Choose your battles. The "911" was an instant hit; Today Porsche is equivalent to the 911.
In 1972, the "Ur-911'er" was slightly modified before becoming the G model. This modification proved perfect on paper. After the battery was split in two in the nose for weight distribution, the fluids distribution could not be left behind. Thereupon an oil system was chosen which could be refilled with an "oil valve" at the rear. Everything used to be better, gas stations were manned and they even filled up for you! You guessed it; most 72'ers ran on mixed fuel... Therefore, in '73 the decision was immediately reversed and the last generation of 'normal' F models were born, of which this is one.
Our '73'er is, as you may be used to, far from standard. She was born and delivered in Germany as an original 2.4 T, which in 2019 was completely rebranded to ST by her current owner. Before Ferdinand turns over in his grave; she is still matching numbers and fitted with a burr turret! The block has been boosted to a 2500 and all Porsche 911 ST parts used on it are original. No tupperware tuning, Uncle Fer! Furthermore, she is fully prepared for classic rallies and ready for many more years of fun, sideways, that is. Bis bald!
Did you spend your youth dreaming about someday owning a Nissan? After all, we know how many decades you've waited.
