HISTORY OF THE 1973 1/2 PORSCHE 911T
Late into the 1973 model production year, Porsche began installing Bosch’s new CIS fuel injection system in the 911. These models are referred to by Porsche enthusiasts as 1973 ½ models with the 1973½ 911T becoming the most desirable T variant in recent years. When fitted with CIS Injection, the 2.4 liter engine developed a healthy 140hp and provided a smooth and reliable driving experience. With this level of performance and style accented by the longhood, small bumper design (which would disappear by the end of 1973 production) it is no wonder why the 1973½ 911T models have become highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts today.
