1973 Porsche 911T coupe, 5-speed, under $50K at a dealer
Long-hood 911T coupe at a big discount, but the listing is thin; inspection decides if it is a deal.
1973 Porsche 911T
Why we picked it
Streetside Classics' Charlotte showroom in Concord, North Carolina lists this 1973 911T coupe (VIN 9113101523) at $49,995. It is Sepia Brown over black vinyl buckets with Fuchs wheels, a 2.4-liter flat-six now running Weber carburetors and a five-speed manual. The odometer shows 82,512 miles, flagged as true mileage unknown, and the dealer includes a one-month, 250-mile warranty.
That price is well below recent 911T coupe sales, which ran $73,000 to $94,550. The catch is that the listing is very short: it says nothing about rust, paint history, whether the engine is original to the car, or records. Webers were not factory on a US 1973 T, so the fuel system has been changed. Treat the price as a reason to look closely, not proof of a bargain.
The value check
The seller is asking $49,995. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $73,000–$89,000, so the middle of the market is about $81,000. That put this car 38% under.
1973 911T 2.4 coupes with manuals sold for $73,000 to $94,550 on BaT between Nov 2025 and Sep 2026; the classic.com benchmark is $82,404. Even marked down for carb conversion and unknown history, $49,995 is about 38% under the $81,000 midpoint.

What to check
- Ask whether the engine is the original 2.4 and get the engine and gearbox numbers checked against a Porsche COA
- Weber conversion means the original fuel injection is likely gone; ask if the parts come with the car
- Inspect front pan, battery boxes, longitudinals, kidney bowls, and Targa-style rear rocker areas for rust and filler
- Mileage is TMU and no records are mentioned
- Confirm title status and whether the dealer is consigning; get a pre-purchase inspection from a 911 specialist
Making it drive like new
This is an ideal restomod or backdate base because it is already not original. Common upgrades are a 3.2 Carrera or rebuilt 2.7/3.0 engine, 915 rebuild or G50 swap, Elephant or Tarett suspension bushings and sway bars, Bilstein shocks, Turbo tie rods, larger brakes, and a seam-welded shell for added stiffness.
