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 total 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, which is understood to have spent a majority of its life in California. It is now located in Australia, where it has been with the seller for eight years. The mechanical condition is unknown, as the car was last on the road in 1996, and no attempt has been made to get the car running. The seller notes that the colour and matching number engine were confirmed by Porsche Australia. The odometer indicates 31,307 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1970 This 911 T 2.2 is finished in what is believed to be its original burgundy colour scheme, over a black leatherette-trimmed interior, featuring woven-effect sections on the door cards, seats and dashboard. It rides on three aftermarket 15-inch Mahle-BBS cross-spoke alloy wheels finished in gold with anodised lips, as well as a steel wheel on the rear right corner, fitted with mixed tyres. Equipment includes a four-spoke steering wheel, heater and ventilation controls, an analogue clock, VDO gauges, and push-out front and rear quarter light windows. The car comes with the owner’s manual, a spare set of wheels shown in the photo gallery, and various invoices and receipts. One ignition key is included in the sale. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the burgundy paintwork may be original and shows significant wear. Notably, the bonnet has a dent, possibly from improper closure over large items in the front trunk. The driver's side window is shattered, while all other glass remains intact. The front bumper is cracked. There is no rust on the bodywork. The interior requires comprehensive restoration. The dashboard is cracked, the headlining is torn, and the carpets are missing. The seats exhibit wear but are in comparatively better condition than other interior components. The seller notes that the car has not been started or driven in recent years, and its mechanical condition is therefore unverified. It was last on the road around 1996. A service was carried out in Fresno, California in 1991, there were two registrations in Fresno, once in 1992 and again in 1996, and the car passed a smog test in Fresno in 1996. This Porsche 911 T 2.2 represents a compelling restoration opportunity, reported to retain its original engine, gearbox and colour scheme. The seller reports that the body appears to be straight and solid, and the car seems to be largely complete with components. It offers a promising foundation for a skilled enthusiast or specialist workshop to carry out a full restoration to its former glory.
