In 1971, Mr. Ault was attending college at UCLA and was majoring in physics, while his wife, Mrs. Ault, already finished school and was starting her career in the aerospace industry. The couple aspired to one day owning a 911, so she went to the dealership searching for a Crystal Blue 911. When they arrived at the dealership, the only 911 sitting on the showroom floor at the time was a 1971 Porsche 911E Coupe finished in Conda Green with a Black interior. After understanding the limited availability of 911s and as the Conda Green paintwork began to grow on them, they eventually decided to purchase it on November 11, 1971, from Aero Porsche Audi in Inglewood, California.

From that point on, due primarily to work, the 911E was driven very sparingly and mainly only for trips that the couple would take. It was always serviced by Aero Porsche Audi until 1973, by which time it only had accrued 18,000 miles. By 1984, the 911 had reached 41,735 miles and as their focus began to shift to the wine industry, the vehicle was used less and spent the next 30 years in a barn. On January 5, 2014, the couple consigned the vehicle over to Dusty Cars LLC where it was sold to the second owner.

Mechanically powered by its matching 2.2L flat-six engine that has just been completely rebuilt paired to its matching 901/01 5-speed manual transmission and four-wheel disc braking system. Service within the last 1,000 miles included a clutch replacement, tune-up, alignment, new engine seals and gaskets, and new tires. Complete with two keys, an owner's manual, a video autobiography of the first owner, an original service maintenance booklet, and 50 years of service history. Incomparable and exceptional opportunity to acquire a very original low mile, well-documented, 911E finished in a very desirable color combination.

History
1969 brought the first substantive changes to the Porsche 911 lineup, which now consisted of three models: the 911T, 911E, and 911S. All of these were available in a Coupe and a Targa body styles. The T was carbureted until 1972, while the E and S were mechanically fuel injected. In 1969, Porsche stretched the wheelbase and flared the wheel arches, allowing wider tires to be fitted. Unlike most performance cars of the era, horsepower kept climbing through the use of fuel injection and a series of 200 cc displacement increases culminating in the 1972 2.4-liter cars.

The T was the base model with the lowest horsepower. It was tractable and quite adequate for street use. The E had a bit more horsepower and more luxury features, while the 200 hp S was the car for weekend racers. Rust continued to be an issue, although by this time Porsche was at least paying more attention to the car's vulnerable floor pans. A mid-year change to Bosch K-Jetronic (CIS) injection for the 1973 ½ 911T produced what many believed to be the sweetest running 911 yet.
