This mid-year transition was a pivot point for Porsche. While it retains the Long Hood and slim chrome bumpers that define the classic early 911 aesthetic, it was the first to receive
the Bosch K-Jetronic (CIS) Fuel Injection.
Drivability: Unlike the
temperamental carburettors or the complex mechanical fuel injection (MFI) of earlier models, the CIS system in the 73.5 is famous for being reliable, starting easily in the cold, and providing smooth
power delivery.
This was the final production run before the 1974 "Impact Bumper" models changed the silhouette of the 911
forever
Sepia Brown over Tan is the quintessential 1970s color palette. While Sepia was overlooked for years in favor of
Guards Red, it has seen a massive resurgence in the collector market for its "period-correct" authenticity.
This car has spent its life in California and for a 911 of this era, "no rust" is the most important phrase in the
description. These cars had no factory galvanization, so a lifetime in a dry climate is a massive value multiplier.
Factory Air Conditioning: A rare luxury for 1973. Even if vintage AC systems are modest by modern standards, having the
factory hardware intact is a major plus for originality.
