This Porsche 911 T 2.2 is a classic air-cooled sports car, offered from its current long-term ownership as a project in need of refurbishment and restoration. Under the rear engine lid sits a naturally aspirated 2.2-litre air-cooled flat-six, reported to be the original numbers-matching unit, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This example was originally a US-delivered model, it is now located in Australia, where it has been with the seller and current owner for eight years. The mechanical condition is unknown, as the car was last on the road prior to current ownership, and no attempt has been made to get the car running. The colour and matching number engine are confirmed by its Certificate of Authenticy, and the seller believes the Signal Orange paint to be largely original. The odometer indicates 50,308 miles, though this is not warranted. This 911 T 2.2 is finished in what is believed to be its original Signal Orange paintwork, over a black leatherette-trimmed interior, featuring woven-effect sections on the door cards, seats, dashboard and the steering wheel surround. It rides on 15-inch Fuchs alloy wheels, fitted with old tyres in need of replacement. Equipment includes a four-spoke steering wheel, heater and ventilation controls, an analogue clock, VDO gauges, push-out front and rear quarter light windows, a heated rear screen, a cigarette lighter, and a Blaupunkt push-button radio. The vehicle will be supplied with its original handbook, the warranty book, the all-important Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and two keys. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the vehicle is a restoration project and has a rust hole in both the right and left inner front wheel arches, rust in the front compartment ahead of the fuel tank, a small area of rust on the right outer sill, various rust patches on the paint, and surface rust underneath. The seller notes that there are no rust holes around the kidney bowls, no rust holes in the rear wheel arches, no rust holes in the doors, and no rust holes in the floors. Inside, the carpets are worn and missing in places, and there is a crack in the dashboard along with other wear and damage, as is clearly shown in the image gallery. The seller notes that the car has not been started or driven in their eight-year ownership, and its mechanical condition is therefore unverified. This Porsche 911 T 2.2 represents a fantastic restoration opportunity, reported to retain its original engine, gearbox and vibrant Signal Orange colour scheme. It offers a promising starting point for a skilled enthusiast or a specialist workshop to carry out a full restoration to its former glory.
