This 1971 Porsche 911E is said to have spent time in Hawaii and Missouri prior to its acquisition by the seller in January 2018, after which it underwent a refurbishment by Terry Worick Restorations totaling almost $175,000 that concluded in November 2021. The car is finished in Gemini Blue over black leather upholstery and is powered by a 2.7-liter flat-six paired with a five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. Features include modified suspension and brakes, 15″ Fuchs wheels, yellow fog lights, and a Blaupunkt radio.
Overview
The car was taken down to bare metal and fitted with a replacement Dänsk front trunk lid, bumpers, front fenders, and inner and outer rocker panels before it was refinished in Gemini Blue (8686) using Glassurit paint. Replacement parts include the windshield, weatherstripping and gaskets, rocker and window trims, taillights, and parking lamps. The door and window frames were also refurbished. Features include yellow fog lights, a driver-side mirror, and gold-finished script on the engine lid.
Refinished 15×6″ Fuchs wheels are wrapped in 205/60 Yokohama Avid ENVigor tires. The suspension features replacement hardware, Elephant Racing rear adjustable spring plates, reinforced rear sway-bar mounts, Tarett RSR-style sway bars, Dänsk front control arms, larger 911SC torsion bars, and Bilstein struts and shocks. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with larger 911SC front brakes and ATE rotors.
