Model year 1969 brought the first fundamental changes to the Porsche 911 lineup which now consisted of three models, the 911T, 911E and 911S all of which were available in coupe and Targa body styles. The T was carbureted until 1972 while the E and S were mechanically fuel-injected. This represents the 2.4-liter flat six-cylinder, carbureted 911T and it is paired to a manual transmission.

For 1969, Porsche lengthened 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 controllable and quite satisfactory for street use. The E produced more horsepower and offered more luxury features. The 200-hp S was representative of a car used by ”weekend racers.”

Finished in black with a black interior; we are informed that this example has a Nardi steering wheel, Recaro seats and Fuchs wheels.

While the 911 has been in production for over 50 years, models produced in 1973 and earlier have become the most desirable in terms of purity of form and driving character. This example represents the solid engineering that Porsche had become well-known for. It goes without saying that any serious collection needs an early 911, and this example would be fantastic to drive and enjoy. Porsche; there is no substitute.
