The description of the 1973.5 911T 2.4L CIS car is best left up to the author Peter Zimmermann in his book “The Used 911 Story” who says:
“Ah! Finally! Porsche builds their first “10”! This is one model that deserves its own chapter. A major breakthrough came with this car – “CIC” fuel injection. CIS means “Continuous Injection System.” Another name for it is the Bosch terminology “K-Jetronic.” Basically this system is not mechanical and it is not electronic. It is a system that functions on pressure and vacuum. Simple to tune, this injection system is highly efficient, and may deliver in excess of thirty miles per gallon during highway operation. All the smoothness of the earlier carbureted 911 is back, plus some. All things considered, this is the smoothness, most pleasant of all the early 911s built to date to drive. The engine, at all RPM levels, is responsive and has sufficient torque to allow use of very low engine speeds in city applications. Even 2600 RPM, for example, is comfortable for second gear steady speed use.
The transmission is very smooth in these cars, problems from earlier models have been corrected. The 2.4 liter displacement engine delivers enough horsepower and torque to enjoy almost any driving situation.
Fit and finish of the exterior of these cars when new was as good as any car could expect to be. Seams and paint were perfect, almost as the folks at the Porsche factory knew they were building really special models.”
This particular car is one of the nicest restored examples we have ever seen. A full restoration is in the final stages of completion. ALL engine upgrades completed: 2.4L CIS (Continuous Injection System) that provides 148 horse power, everyday drivability and fuel economy of around 28mpg Original 1973 ½ 2.4L CIS engine with 140hp and 28MPG. Major tune up completed for the new owner
This body style is the Targa configuration. The center roof is easily removable, once removed it can be folded up and stored in the trunk. The passengers are protected by a fixed roll bar. The targa was the only open top design for the 911 in 1973. The 911 Cabriolet was not developed until 1983, 10 years later.
