The steering setup utilizes later 930-type tie rods and a bump steer kit. Further modifications include Weltmeister adjustable sway bars, a welded-in shock tower brace, and crude reinforcement plates for the rear upper mounts. Rear control arm pivots were raised to improve the camber settings for the lowered suspension. The car is described as running and driving, but will need to be brought up to date on maintenance before any further track use is considered.ДЇront suspension consists of stock front control arms with Bilstein struts on mono-ball upper mounts, while the rear uses aluminum 911SC-style control arms with Bilstein sport shocks. A thermostat has been added to the oil filter assembly. Lubrication is through a stock oil system with flex hoses running to a large front cooler which will not fit under a stock front bumper. Exhaust modifications include open megaphone pipes as well as headers with a heater box to allow use of a pump thermostat for cold running enrichment. Current compression ratio is believed to be 8.5:1. The 2.4L flat-six was rebuilt to 2.7L about 20 years ago according to the seller, who has worked as a Porsche tech for 30 years and notes that cold leakdown numbers are 3-5% on all cylinders. The 5-digit odometer shows 27k miles, though total chassis mileage is unknown. Stock gauges are present aside from a missing clock. Controls include a MOMO race wheel and standard aluminum shifter assembly. The seller notes that a stock pedal box has been retained, while the rear seat area and tunnel have been cut and patched to allow the relocation of suspension mounting points as described below. One-piece racing seats are mounted with older Deist harnesses. The braking system consists of Wilwood front calipers, 3.2 Carrera rear calipers, 3.2 Carrera rotors at all four corners, and a single master cylinder.Д¬arpeting and insulation were removed and the cabin was fitted with a bolt-in roll bar, though no forward cage is present. Fuchs wheels are 7Г—16вЂі up front and 8Г—16вЂі in the rear, with all wearing BFGoodrich race rubber. Unnecessary wiring has been removed including that for the headlights, though the windshield wipers are in place and functional. The front pan and fuel tank support are replacements according to the seller, and the front fender uprights have been removed while the inner fenders, latch panel, battery box, and stock fuel tank remain in place. Flush-mounted Plexiglass has been roughly installed in the quarter windows, rear windscreen, and passenger-side door. Both doors show delamination at their hinges, and the rear bumper is described as in rough condition.

Body modifications include a fiberglass rear wing, wheel flares, doors, and rear bumper cover as well as a distinctive one-piece вЂњshovel noseвЂќ front end, which is currently detached and shown in the photos below.

The car reportedly ran in southwest PCA club events in the 1990s, and saw more recent use in autocross, time trial and driver education events in Texas until early 2017. It is offered on behalf of the family of the late owner with a Texas bill of sale. The car is currently said to run, drive, steer, and stop but is not street legal and will need a comprehensive inspection and updates prior to further track use. The seller is a longtime Porsche tech who helped with various mechanical aspects of the build and is familiar with the shop that did the remainder of the work. The stock 2.4L flat-six was rebuilt to 2.7L approximately 20 years ago and sends power through a 915 5-speed transaxle with a limited-slip differential. This 1972 Porsche 911T was acquired by a friend of the seller in 1989 and converted for track use over the next several years with extensive modifications to its powertrain, suspension, bodywork, and interior. Is that nose designed to clear the long-horns off the race track?
