I am looking for some information that may help me decide to keep the 1970 911T that I purchased this weekend. I was travelling out of state and I saw an old Brown Porsche for sale and I thought it had some potential so I bought it. Once I got it home I looked in my Red Book and the VIN/Serial number and the engine number don't match.

If I have read it correctly it has a 1970 911E motor in it. Is this bad or should I be ok with it.

I posted some pics here http://www.sunbrother.com/911t

The serial is 911010102389 and the engine number is 6109905

The car has not rust that I can find ( it is from AZ and was moved to West Virginia in 1989 by a doctor that retired.

Runs fine...134,000 miles on odometer and it has Weber carbs...the color is interesting...I am not sure what it is yet.

I paid $8,000 and brought it home to North Carolina.

I am just wondering it I should keep it or find something that matches.

Just looking for opinions other than my own arguments in my head. I think I am just disappointed that it wasn't matching numbers.

Anyway.....

Not sorry, Just not sure yet.

An E would normally have MFI, not carbs. Sound like a good deal unless something is lurking about. Bruce Anderson rates a "so-so" example at $15,045, "good" at 17106 and "excellent" at 22900. Early 911 are appreciating. I'd care for it and enjoy it.

According to PET an engine code 610xxxx is a 911T engine for model year 1970.

I called Porsche North America today and they were able to confirm that the engine code is the correct number that goes with that VIN....so I would have to say that the Porsche 911 RED BOOK second edition has a typo in it and it stressed me out. I could also be reading it wrong, but I had several others look at it and it appears that it shows some of the 1970 911E cars having engines that start with 610 instead of 620

Anyway, I feel better since Porsche did verify it.

Loren thanks for your response and time to look it up on PET.
