Porsche 911L 1968 901/30 Racing-Rally

Wonder how many 911L 1968 rally racing cars exist of them 28 rally-racing cars that were equipped with 901/30 engine, which according to Porsche's own information had engine number 3880001-3880028. Seems like the 911L with 901/30 engine used on the racing track in the U.S. and Europa as rally cars. I know some of the cars with these engines, hope there is more information to get about these interesting cars;

This information comes from a Swedish book published in collaboration with the Swedish Automobile Sports Federation 1969. Hope my translation from Swedish is good enough.

A few years ago met the Porsche claims to be classified as a touring car which had the effect of car-adjusted purely in the price lists of numerous touring car races. The model 911 L, which we competed with, however, discontinuation of why there is now allowed to drive with other vehicles of the type Lotus Elan, or group 3.
For forest competitions can also receive Porsche equipped from the factory when there was a rally package with some of the details needed to improve both performance and handling. Furthermore, you can get your car fitted with a different gearbox with limited slip, but this is something of an Achilles heel for the car. For the gearbox did not suit the car's conventional drive shafts, and instead you get when using parts from Carrera 6 which is a much lighter car. Under extreme stress, it happens often that the drive shafts shortcomings, perhaps the most inopportune moments.
By installing parts from the sharper 911 S engine power can easily be increased to 150-160 hp which is enough to give it substantially rally car acceleration 0-100 in 7.9 seconds. Top speed with a "normal" competition ratio is not higher than 180 km per hour to over 200 for the standard
The price for a complete rally equipped Porsche is around 47000 SEK.
On the race track, you need a car that costs almost as much. Here you avoid the stone guards and extra light on the other hand would be enough to squeeze out a few more engine horsepower and the cars that Scania Vabis Porsche teams using the engines of around 175 horsepower, which gives an acceleration of 0-100 in about 7 seconds and a top speed around 180 km. At rallies do not dare to take out the engine as many horses as possible when you have to have a life then of course the races going on for several hours or even days. On the track, however, drive just rarely longer than one quarter at a time and you can therefore afford to compromise on life for the engine. For the other costs will be at the track the precious alloy wheels with extra-wide racing tires. A wheel with tires will cost almost 1000 SEK.

Got a new VIN number for 911L (901/30) from one Early 911S member, 11810486 and engine number.

Hi Thomas
this is a great idea to start a thread on these little known cars.

I have details on some cars, some of this information came from posts on this and other parts which have come directly from Thomas and some other sources. (by the way Thomas I think a couple of the engine numbers you posted above are reversed from what I have listed)

below is my list. it is by no means comprehensive but ion most cases i have copies of COA's, factory telexes or other documents to support the numbers and photos of most cars (which I can post as soon as I get some time). I would welcome any additions and corrections to this information so we can have a reasonably accurate source of the truth on this board.

there is inevitably an overlap in what has been posted above but I have tried to do them in chassis order. Note the odd one out is 0414 in terms of engine number etc but I understand that those were the numbers on the kardex

Hi Don

thanks for the extra information. some of the information i have has come from your informative posts in the pastand your website.

as to you comment " I was under the impression the Wetson car was destroyed and was wondering where the serial number came from."

this is where i got it from http://www.racingsportscars.com/chas...010%20429.html
this site shows it as the Daytona winner #20 in GT 2.0 in 1969 for Tony Adamowicz /Bruce Jennings /Herb Wetanson

i also have something that was posted on a board somewhere (and i dont have details where ) which states " poor scan of 118 1 0429 kardex. engine 388 0008 Trans number begins 928 2... options : rallykit, 100 liters tank (other information unreadable and in German text )" Indeed it may have even been you who posted it???

so far as whether it was destroyed I don't know.
the racingsportscars site shows it as still competing in the 1971 Watkins glen 6 hours with Bert Everett and Bob Beasley.
I did note in the photos from 1969 that Westons had 2 cars with near identical livery the other car carrying (i think ) race number 22 (for Cuomo / Moore at 1969 Trans am Bridgehampton at least)

Raj might know if it was destroyed or not.... I have a photo of a car that looks like the Daytona car with the Westons livery and race #20 with Raj's 91R in the background. I suspect that is the car that you mention was recently sold. That car may be the real thing, or it may be a recreation, or it may be the Daytona winner but not be 118 1 0429 as shown in the website i referred to; I dont know - but Raj may.

Thnaks for clarifying this Don

now we have to confirm what the number of the Jennings car that was recently sold is, whether it is 118 1 0429

Don,

Is your 'Don Pike' car the same white 911 he drove for Don Burns in '68?

Chuck,

I spoke with Don Pike about that and he told me it was not the same car and that he did not drive for Burns! I don't know what to make of that autographed picture. Don is older now and maybe he just did not remember.

Don

I am not sure if this helps but I have an entry list for the SCCA races at santa barbara on 1 september 1968

the entry list shows Don Pike in a Kendon Porsche entered 911 class Bs #69
It also shows him entered in a 904 for Otto Zipper car #69 but an accompanying document shows that car as did not arrive

there is no entry that i could see for a Don Burns car, either as entrant or driver at that race meeting.

so Don Pike would have been there to sign a program but not neccessarily as a driver of the car on the cover.
