1969 911s pictures for help with authenticity.

[Bowzer]

Hello all you 911'ers :-)

I need all the help I can get with these pictures .
If they are authentic stampings of : Chassis , Engine and internal # , then finally I may get that closer to joining you all as an owner.

here they come

The 408 engine number is 68.

Thank you Gled 49.
Can you also tell me what year 6310491 is please ?

. . . Can you also tell me what year 6310491 is please ? . . .

If we're talking about Porsche engines, then . . .

6 = 911
3 = 'S'
1 = 1971
0491 = sequence

From the current description it is hard to know what this car is, or at least suppose to be. The 408 engine is as Gordon says a 68S engine, and an early one at that. I would estimate it was in an about an August 1967 constructed car originally. I cant reconcile that with a "1969" description - if it was a late model year 68S engine I can see how it could be called a 69 by some, especially registration authorities, if sold in calendar year 1969. But an engine with this number would have no hope of that.
Next the body VIN is (or appears to be) a factory replacement shell. They should have records somewhere of when it was sold, and if re bodied by the factory what the original VIN number was for the car. My very limited database on these replacement bodies suggests that it could have been used any time after 1966

At this stage without further pictures of the car which show distinguishing features it is not possible to even say if this is a SWB or LWB car - let alone whether it is an S, a normal an l or T or whatever- I think it is most likely a SWB given the replacement body vin one which rules it out being a 69 However photos showing details like torsion bar cover positioning, and interior (if it has one) door handles and other tell tale features would be necessary before even tentatively identifying what it is - let alone condition, etc all of which would be necessary before taking a stab at a price. It would be worth seeing what number was stamped in the lower dash but I suspect a blank or the body in white number 13456 ( which may be a factory stamping but the font on the three looks different to other "13" vin number stampings that I have seen as does the spacing between the 13 and the other numbers for what that is worth)

Thank you very much Hugh,
This is more than enough to make me let the though of purchasing it for the asking price of € 150,000 be crossed off my list. Also the colour it has been given now is not the original colour .
Thank you once again

What exactly are you looking for ? I might sell my fully restored 1970 2.2 S.
