1969 Competition 911
Having built up my 69T for the last 5 years or so, I have found it difficult to find reference to competition cars from that year. The only significant car I can find is the Monte Carlo winning 911.
Were most of the competition cars from that year still 911R's and TR's, or did Porsche build any LWB 2.0L cars to run in that year?? I think the class winning cars from Lemans, Daytona, Sebring etc, were all SWB.
It is difficult to find any reference. It seems to be an odd year; its after the above mentioned models, and before the various ST's that came along in 1970
Basically, im trying to find the details of the 69'MY cars that raced or rallied in that year. All I know is that Porsche homologated the S' for competition. Meaning the T' must have been the TR from the previous year.
Any help and pics would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,

Loads of images. Biggest database I have found to date, except Curt's thread... Start off at the 1969 24hr of Daytona, the 911 photos will keep you busy :)
ps. My Dad shot all the photos for the 1959 Santa Barbara - Class Modified 2000. http://www.racingsportscars.com/phot...31a-photo.html

I would love to see Lightweight orders from 69-70 in detail. Like trunk compartment, engine bay, spare tire, batteries, etc....
If anyone has further info please post it :D

Interesting that the engine lid is drilled for the standard PORSCHE letters. I'll bet the deco trim holes in the bumpers are under that tape as well. I was having a discussion about this the other day - i.e. is it more correct to fill these holes in or leave them and tape/decal over them as the factory did? :cool:

enjoying this...subscribed

Any idea if that '69 is running 7R rears? My eyes can't tell...
-
Trunk and Engine Bay!!! :p
Black, Body coloured, no undercoating?
which way... body colour is not correct (I donīt know) regular 911s did not have body coloured engine bays until late 70, what happened to the racing and lightweight versions(69-70)????

Great pics Raj.
In that shot of the three white cars, I cant make out the wheels on the far left car. They dont look like fuchs..maybe steelies.
Frank, Have you come across any werks 69' cars??
Maybe the factory was concentrating and developing the ST'
Keep the pics and info coming :)

Kenik,
I cant tell if they are 7R's either, could be in rally trim, although they do look like race tires.
Its interesting to see the rear over-rider delete, bonnet catches, no trim....but, no sports muffler or roll bar, etc
