This 1970 Porsche 911E is among several cars in a private collection that suffered damage during a barn fire. This non-sunroof Coupe is being offered for auction at no reserve as a rolling project car by its seller out of Connecticut.
The car’s bodywork has been scorched by fire and shows corrosion throughout. The fenders have been cut away and the rear decklid, front bumper, and glass are missing. Aftermarket wheels have been installed allowing the car to roll. Another set of damaged Speedline-style wheels is included in the sale.
The interior shows extensive fire damage including scorched upholstery and melted trim. The wiring and instrumentation were also compromised by the fire.
This 911E is equipped with a 2.2-liter flat-six engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. The seller indicates the clutch was replaced and the transmission and suspension were refreshed before the fire. The mechanical components were compromised by fire damage and the seller cannot confirm their salvageability.
This 911E is offered with a Connecticut registration certificate and a damaged set of Speedline-style wheels.
The seller would like you to know: "Brief Back Story: A client's barn caught fire, and the fire spread so fast that it was unable to be extinguished. Thus, his entire Porsche collection was burned."

@Cmohr56 correct!
Why were the fender wheels cut open. Did it have fiberglass flairs that got burned away ?

Welcome to our "spooky" listings of several fire-damaged Porsche 911s this week! Happy to answer questions throughout the auction process... although the pictures should truly speak for themselves in this unfortunate scenario.
Happy Halloween!
