RS-Style 1972 Porsche 911E Coupe "Olklappe" 4-Speed
Presentation
Among the most distinctive and sought-after iterations of the long-hood 911, this 1972 Porsche 911E Coupe represents the only model year to feature Porsche's unique external oil filler door, earning the coveted "Ölklappe" designation. It is powered by its factory numbers-matching 2.4-liter mechanically fuel-injected flat-six engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and was originally finished in Light Yellow before receiving a professional glass-out repaint in Guards Red along with tasteful RS-style modifications. Acquired by the current owner in 1986, this exceptionally well-preserved 911E has spent much of the past four decades in garage storage or climate-controlled indoor display, accumulating fewer than 10,000 additional miles during that time. Benefitting from recent recommissioning work that included refurbishment of the fuel system and renewed brake hydraulics, this rare long-hood Porsche is now being offered for auction in Texas. Click here to view the previous PCARMARKET listing.
Originally specified in Light Yellow (117-9-1), the body was professionally refinished in Guards Red during a complete glass-out color change early in the current ownership. The repaint included matching trim accents and a Guards Red engine cooling shroud for a cohesive presentation. As a 1972 model, the body retains its signature one-year-only external oil filler door located ahead of the right rear wheel. Additional details include body-colored mirrors and headlamp bezels, RS-style bumpers, a ducktail rear spoiler, Carrera script side stripes, chrome brightwork, pop-out rear quarter windows, and 15” Fuchs alloy wheels mounted with 2022-dated tires. The seller notes the car has remained protected from the elements for decades, spending extended periods in enclosed garage storage before residing in the climate-controlled showroom of a specialty Porsche repair facility from 2006 until 2023. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The black interior has been tastefully updated with genuine Porsche 930 Turbo high-back bucket seats and features a four-spoke steering wheel, a Porsche-crested gear knob, VDO instrumentation with a centrally mounted tachometer, manual window winders, an updated Blaupunkt cassette stereo, and aftermarket speakers. The five-digit odometer currently displays approximately 15,251 kilometers, which the seller indicates corresponds to roughly 71,700 lifetime miles. When acquired in March 1986, the odometer showed 6,992 kilometers, believed to represent approximately 106,992 kilometers (62,500 miles), indicating that fewer than 10,000 additional miles have been accumulated throughout the current ownership.
Power comes from the factory numbers-matching 2.4-liter flat-six engine (serial number 6220549), featuring Bosch mechanical fuel injection and a lightweight magnesium crankcase. Factory-rated at approximately 165 HP, it sends power to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transaxle. Following decades of careful preservation, the car was recently recommissioned with extensive fuel system service, including a cleaned fuel tank, new fuel hoses, and fresh filters, along with replacement brake lines to refresh the braking system before returning the car to regular operation.
This sale will include a period Road & Track feature photograph intended for publication, documentation supporting the car's long-term ownership history, owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a spare tire, a car cover, and a clean title.

@OsoShark Hi OsoShark, thanks for the follow-up! Here are the details straight from the owner:
Speedometer & Gauges: All gauges are original German-language units with consistent, matching patina across the dash. Mileage Documentation: The original owner’s manual is included with the car. On the inside cover, the first owner noted the purchase mileage as 850 km on January 1, 1986. Service Records: The current owner maintained a handwritten service log inside the same manual. His first logged entry is dated April 11, 1986, at 6,962 km, covering a full service, valve adjustment, filter replacement, and MFI tune. We don't have records prior to January 1986, but this original manual and early logbook help document its early history.

One follow-up on the mileage: I see from the gallery that the car has a km/h speedometer showing approximately 15,300 km. Do you know whether this is the original factory speedometer/odometer? And is there any documentation from the January 1986 purchase showing the approximately 850 km reading at that time, or any records from the first owner that help establish the mileage before 1986?
Aug 30, 2026 · 00:26
@Seller Thank you for such a detailed and responsive answer. Much appreciated.

@OsoShark - I just spoke with the owner to get you direct, detailed answers. Here is the latest, straight from him:
-Engine Documentation & Mileage: The owner purchased this 911 in January 1986 as the second owner. At that time, the odometer read 850 km. It currently shows 15,300 km, meaning he has put approximately 9,000 miles on the car across his 40 years of ownership. While he does not have a formal Porsche CoA/PPS document on hand, he recently had the car at a local Porsche specialist shop for a valve adjustment and MFI tuning. The shop confirmed the engine and transmission match the car properly.
-Transmission & Stamping: The gearbox stamping reads #7220401. (Note for bidders: 1972 was the transition year to the Type 915 transmission, and code 722xxx denotes a factory 4-speed Type 915 unit for a 1972 6-cylinder model).
-Chassis, Metalwork & Rust: Zero structural metalwork, rust repair, or sheet metal replacement of any kind. The owner confirms there is no rust present anywhere on the vehicle.
-Compression & Leakdown: There are no recent formal compression or leakdown numbers on record, though the car runs very well following its recent shop service and MFI tune.
-Engine Rebuild History: The owner is unaware of any major internal engine teardowns or rebuilds during his 40-year ownership period (and has no record of internal work done prior to 1986). The car has simply been maintained as needed.
-Accident History & Body Modifications: No accident history and no body panel replacements, with the sole exception of period-style modifications to install the current front bumper and rear ducktail decklid.

1. The listing describes the engine as numbers-matching. Do you have a Porsche COA/PPS or other documentation confirming engine #6220549 as original to the VIN posted?
2. Is the 4-speed transmission also original to the car, and can you provide the transmission type/serial number or a clear photo of the stamping?
3. Has the car ever had any rust repair, floor/suspension-pan replacement, rocker or longitudinal repair, or other structural metal work? Are you aware of any rust currently present beyond surface corrosion?
4. Have compression and leakdown tests been performed recently? If so, could you provide the results?
5. Do you know when the engine was last rebuilt or had significant internal work, and is there documentation for that work?
6. Is there any known accident history or body-panel replacement?
