911 T/R - Similar to an ST, but with a 2.2 liter engine. Officially a T set-up for rallying. Being MY68 911TR's had 2.0 911S ( #408***) motor. Unless it was updated to Carrera 906 Specs engine at Factory




Anyway, for '68, Johnson's CP team ordered a new 911, this time with the right options from the factory. It was an S with the following options:

9108 - Dunlop SP tires
9551 - Rally kit 911S
9556 - Sport kit II 911S
9592 - Airport ratios 901/52 actually 901/52 ( i think) is HILL CLIMB ratio
9574 - Limited slip
9499 - 100 liter fuel tank
9541 - Delete undercoating
9542 - Delete sound deadening material
9535 - Roll bar
9124 - No front bumpber horns
9551 - Racing seats
(no number) - Special engine preparation to group 3 standards. Lower car.

Invoice price: 6637.42
Weight: 2060 lbs.
These are exact Specs for my 1968 911TR delivered to VW Pacific of Culvert City CA

Apparently 3 such cars were ordered that year; One for Alan to run for Don Burns Volkswagen, one for Vasek Polak aand one to be raced in the Trans-Am series by Don Pike.
HOW CERTAIN you are about this statement. Please do understand me correctly, Im not challenging and or questioning it. Look at my Signature and you'll understand why I am acting this way . "

Here's the first and last page of the 1968 R&T article for your reference.

Great article. Tho it holds watter since it looks like it was written in anticipation what 1968 will bring. What's the R&T issue date ?

Gytis.
Please send me some pics of the restoration. I would
love to find out more on the VIN. I will
be going back to my old shop and visit some
some friends, each time I read more about
my old 911 I want to see if I can find you
some of the original parts like the wheels and rollbar.

I am also interested in any photos of races with
Early 911 I need some shots for an oil painting. I can't use
Copyrighted material. Anyone have some killer photos I can use?

Whatever happened with this t/r?

[Rennman]

I bought the car last year. It turned out to be the car campaigned by Bill Yates. After researching other T Rally cars this one turned out to be King as far as the option list, a very special car. It is now under restoration.
