So a question I have, is what color roll bar would you put in a Miami Blue car? Do I match the exterior paint? Brake calipers (red), black (interior) or match the wheels (satin)?

^^^If I were you I'd want to make the roll bars disappear, so I'd do them in black to match your interior. However, if you want to make them stand out a bit and you have red interior stitching, go red. Least favorite way would be to paint body color. Just my two cents.

Thanks! Looking for opinions so l cents are worth it.

The interior is black except blue trim on dash and console. So I can either match to that or go stealth black like you suggested.

The sunroof delete 3.2L. Thinking it's time for an RSR backdate and a hopped up 3.6L powerplant.

I've owned a couple of blue Porcshes before ...

A friend of mine inherited this 1970 911T from his uncle last year - it had been in dry storage in South Carolina for over 25 years. I finally got to see it the other day as he has had it in a repair shop getting the car operational again after years of storage.
They had to replace the gas tank, exhaust system, brake system, clutch & flywheel, tires, shocks, upgrade to pressure fed chain tensioners, and rebuild the carbs but I looked it over thoroughly and its a very nice car.
I couldn't find any rust (and I know where to look - I had a 1971 coupe) and no discernible body damage other than a few dings and dents - one in the rear engine cover caused by a box falling off a shelf in the garage where it was stored.
It looks like its been repainted once and we think it has 120K miles on it. He's not really a Porsche guy and is thinking of selling it - I'm contemplating jumping in because I loved the 2.2 liter motor in these early cars - but neither of us know what its worth.

Love the two side by side... the other one looks like it was used for off-roading!! But would be a good candidate for a restoration... pretty much any longhood is these days.

Some of the early 911T's came with 14" wheels - I didn't look closely but that may be part of the problem. Its a real simple matter to adjust the ride height on the front of these cars - simply turning a bolt to adjust preload on the torsion bar.
The car is in good enough shape to just grin and drive it - the rubber is all dried up and it needs fresh paint but it could be enjoyed as is for a couple of years and then restored (or not).
