BaT Description:
This 1969 Porsche 911E was built on November 8, 1968 and is powered by its numbers-matching 2.0L flat-six, which is mated to the original 901 5-speed manual gearbox. Approximately 25k miles have been added by the seller during his 13-year ownership, and modifications include Carrera-style chain tensioners, Bilstein shocks, sway bars, a Mocal oil cooler, H4 headlights, and more. The car received a repaint in Light Ivory under previous ownership, and rust repair has been performed by the seller. New fuel injection system components were installed in 2014, and an oil change and valve adjustment were performed earlier this year. This 911E is now being offered for sale with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, an original driver’s manual, and a clean Virginia title in the seller’s name.
Originally finished in Sand Beige, the car received a repaint in Light Ivory under previous ownership. Rust repair was performed in both door sills in 2011, while some outlying rust is said to remain in an area on the underbody. Other imperfections noted by the seller include some areas of bubbling in the doors and around the passenger-side headlight, a crease in the rear license plate panel, and various chips and blemishes. Exterior equipment includes a fiberglass 911S-style bumper, aftermarket side mirrors, a pair of foglamps, Euro-spec H4 headlights, and amber taillights. LED bulbs have been fitted, and the 15×6” Fuchs wheels are not original to the car according to the seller. A spare wheel is not available, though an extra tire is included.
Black upholstery shows some creasing and wear, and the driver’s seat bottom has been replaced. Salt-and-pepper carpets cover the floors, and Rennline aluminum transmission tunnel and blower motor assembly covers have been installed. Non-factory 3-point seat belts are installed in front, and anchor bolts remain in the floors from previously installed 5-point harnesses. The dash top shows some cracking, and a factory stereo is equipped in addition to a Momo Prototipo steering wheel with a Porsche horn button and an under-dash A/C unit, which is reported to be functional. The VDO speedometer was repaired in 2017, and a new cable was also installed. The 81k indicated miles are not believed to be accurate, and approximately 25k miles have been added by the seller.
Power is supplied by a 2.0L flat-six mated to a 901 5-speed dogleg gearbox. Previously-installed Weber carburetors were removed by the seller, and mechanical fuel injection components were installed in 2014, including a Zims fuel pump and new injectors. Additional work personally performed by the seller included installing Carrera-style chain tensioners, a Mocal external oil cooler, a new clutch cable, and a new fuel tank. The MFI cold start has been disabled, and an oil change and valve adjustment were performed earlier this year. Stamping *6290437* matches the Porsche CoA, confirming the engine as original and the matching transmission stamping.
The front suspension was refreshed with new bushings, wheel bearings, Turbo tie rod ends, and ball joints in 2009. Bilstein shocks, sway bars, and drilled brake rotors have been fitted. The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity shows the original colors and lists the matching powertrain numbers.
