Update 2/4/20 – It has only been a month since we first featured this 911, but the price has already dropped by over $7k! It’s now listed here on eBay for $37,500 or best offer. Do you think that’s closer to its actual value?
From 1/7/20 – Details are limited in this listing for a barn find 1969 Porsche 911T, but the photos post-extraction appear to show a very original car with a dirty but sound body and interior. The seller believes it to be a numbers-matching example, and while a T isn’t as desirable as an S model, some Porsche fans would argue the T is the purest experience of vintage air-cooled ownership owing to its stripped-down packaging. Find it here on eBay with a Buy-It-Now of $44,750 and the option to submit a best offer.
The Texas license plates may suggest long-term living in a dry, desert climate, but the 911T now resides in Orange, California, with a dealer called Gallery Junction. The 911 looks surprisingly straight once fully removed from the garage, with no major evidence of damage that typically originates from long-term storage. No cracked lenses or windshields, no fenders with huge dents from falling paint cans. The matching hubcaps and sugar scoop headlights are original items.
The dash is far from perfect, with cracks littering the upper portion. The gauges and steering wheel are almost certainly original equipment, along with the seats and carpeting. The radio is missing and the gauges are cloudy, and while the steering wheel may be original, I wouldn’t mind seeing it updated with a classic Momo design. The seller notes the 911T was parked in a garage and forgotten 30 years ago, making its survival in such clean condition even more remarkable.
The seller doesn’t explain how he confirmed the engine to be matching, but the overall completeness of the engine bay helps to inspire confidence that previous owners made sure this 911T was preserved for the long-haul. Or, they simply passed away and the car sat undisturbed for years at a time. Either way, it doesn’t look like the next owner will have a total basketcase to sort out – maybe just a partial one. Is this a 911 to restore or simply get running and enjoy?
Wow, who lets this happen to a car like this, right? From the debris in the top front compartment gutter, wasp nest on the bonnet hinge and the overall weathered condition I would submit this car has spent a good deal of time sitting outside, not so much in a cluttered garage. Just a thought/guess. Not well cared for and abused is an understatement. That was a HARD 27K ……If odometers could talk I think this one would tell us more about the 1 or 2 that belongs in front of the 27.
This is like Hidden Pictures in the pediatric docs office mag. I’m still looking for the wasp nest.
In the ebay listing the wasp nest shows in picture 5 on the left side of the engine bay but by picture 11 it is gone. This car had to be parked outside for some of those 30 years judging by the amount of trash and corrosion in the interior and “bonnets”. Porsche values are up and if they were to get it running and driving it’d bring more, so beware.
Yet another old worn out old Porsche found in a garage buried under the owners crap with an asking of almost 50K. Meh, same old, same old…..
OK you guys are gonna get tired of me saying this. Take a few pics of it in the garage with the dust. THEN WASH IT. For 45 large it will need a complete inspection. I took a 70 Porsche out of dry storage a few years ago. Had extensive rust underneath, and in the area of the batteries. Caveat emptor, u guys think someone will bite at 45k? Good luck.
Cheers

You’re absolutely right GPC. Even the black trim bezels around the gauges on this car are rusty.
This must be rusted Porsche week!! I know it’s a classic but there are a lot better ways to spend 45 thousand dollars!! Not to mention quite a few thousand more getting it back in shape!!!
Just like Barrett/Jackson “Seller believe’s it to be” . What does than mean? I am thinking absolutley nothing!
I had a ’70 T just like this back in the ’80’s. Well, same color anyway, but with the Fuchs wheels and in like new condition. Very nice car! Also had a ’71 E with the mechanical injection. Loved both cars and hated to part with them. Trouble was I was young, renting, and they deserved a home with a garage. Hated to cut them loose!
Times are a-changing. Found a ‘69 912 in Sedona awhile back for $2000, less engine. Still shiny, but owner talked me out of it as the front end was about to fall off!
This car definitely sat outside for an extended period of time before it was placed in that garage so it could be called a “garage find”
You don’t get leaves and debris under the front bonnet by the windshield by sitting in a garage for 30 years. Nice try.
If the underside is any where near solid, it will sell for over $40K easily even in today’s Porsche market
run…run…run..run..run…run..and dont look back
You can just imagine what I’m thinking…………..
It sometimes seems as if half of the cars for sale on BAT are Porsches. If this was anything else, a seller would be lucky to get $5k for it, and that is assuming that the underside is okay, which is somewhat unlikely.
Unknown reason why it was parked; is the engine seized; there sure is rust with paint likely to come off in chunks. The rusty guage dials are not a good sign as to where it was stored long term.
Should we buy it and make it R PO SCHE ?
Looks like the seller missed the bubble. Two years ago, this would have gone for 80k+. Too bad it’s not a 68-70 Charger.
I wonder what junk was placed on it to bend the engine lid grill? Never seen that before.
two words….oh please…..
It didn’t sell. Maybe the market is going down on these. I have always been a fan of the 911, but if I had the money, I wouldn’t go for this one. Maybe 10K. It will take a lot of money to get this back in shape. Maybe even $100K or more.
