East Oakland Style 911T

Today’s feature is a project 1971 911T for only $13K.  If you know recent 911 prices, you know this is low.  Well, suffice it to say that the modifications and condition support the low price.

I’m not sure what East Oakland Style is, but the seller claims this is it.  I see an odd, custom slant-nose, wide rear fenders and whale tail.  A transaxle and seized engine are included in the deal; so sourcing an engine will be part of any equation here.

The question for anyone considering this car is what would it cost to replace the affected sheet metal, in addition to the mechanical bits.  Oh, add in the complete lack of an interior.

Still, with apparently no rust, this car is likely considered restorable in today’s market.  Maybe someone like Magnus Walker will pick this one up and modify accordingly?  After all, this is a 911T, which was entry-level, so purists won’t throw fits if it gets a bigger engine, etc. The lack of interior might lend itself to a track-oriented build, anyway?

Nose is, well, interesting.  This is not the factory-style slant-nose, but some of custom job – or perhaps a kit?  Either way, I’m not sure that headlamp will flip up anymore.

I’m not sure why fenders are on the car in only some shots.

It’s not clear whether the engine is in the car or comes separately, but it may be sitting a bit high in the rear, which would mean it’s out.

Floor pan looks pretty solid.  It’s not clear whether any other interior bits are included.

Here’s a look at the front storage compartment.
