The Rare External Oil Filler Door on a 1972 Porsche 911
This Signal Yellow 1972 Porsche 911T not only features a highly desirable color but as a 1972 model it also has the one-year only rare external oil filler door on the right quarter panel. This Signal Yellow 1972 Porsche 911T Coupe is currently being offered for auction on PCarMarket.
This '72 features is a numbers matching Porsche with several upgrades including a MSD electronic ignition, a Bluetooth radio and Coco Mats. The original radio is included so you can acquire a highly original early 911 in a highly desirable color. The only downside from a conductibility standpoint is the missing MFI (Mechanical Fuel Injection).
The external Oil Filler Door introduced in 1972 was removed after one year due to too many customers (or gas station attendants since in those days gas stations offered full service where they filled your tank) accidentally filled the Oil Filler with gasoline.
The Sports Car Market Price Guide lists a median price for this car at $87,500. Air Brigade believes that the special Signal Yellow color will out-trump the missing MFI and should bring a price right around the $90,000 mark. The car is a stunner and should attract attention as the auction winds down. It is currently bid to $50,000 with an auction ending in two days. As we have learned the real action occurs in the final hour.
What do you think? How will the missing MFI impact the price versus the strong original color appeal of Signal Yellow?
Bid now, if you are interested as the auction ends on August 4, 2021.
