Equipment
Fuchs wheels, Dunlop tires, glass rear window, Blaupunkt radio.
Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
Terrible paint and interior. Mostly complete car, but what's there is rough and filthy. This is the consummate barn find, complete with obligatory mouse poop and spider webs. Of the handful of cars presented as freshly discovered barn finds at this sale, this Porsche was in the best overall shape.
Market commentary
The 911E shares its engine with the performance-tuned 911S, benefiting from the strength built into the S for high-output racing applications but driving much better on the street with more low-end power. The E is no slouch for power, however, delivering its 155bhp from just 133 cubic inches. The Greenwich bidders saw a $125,000 restored car in this rolling pile of parts and it is reasonable to expect that it'll be achievable at less than the difference in value. An astute buy.
