classicmotors.com - 1972 Porsche 911 ? Green

Envy only comes in one color.

Casting its spell with a Viper Green color and Black German leather seats, the Porsche 911 E can be hard to resist. But as most collectors know, the true sorcery of the 911 lies within. To experience it, all you have to do is turn the key.

According to the original purchase order, this 911’s story began at Chapp Porsche in St. Petersburg, Florida, where it was bought by its original owner on July 31, 1972. Extensive maintenance and service records indicate that this 911 E was well-cared-for throughout its history — and now, it’s also fully restored.

To return this 911 E to its former glory,the 2.4 liter engine and 5-speed transmission has been completely rebuilt. This included an MFI injection jump rebuild and new exhaust. The exterior was color-sanded and repainted, and the undercarriage was completely restored, making the bottom of the vehicle as gorgeous as the top.
