    What makes a 1969 911 unique?

    Folks,

    After researching the 69 MY on this fabulous site, I had this idea for a thread: How about an attempt at an evolving, definitive thread for all things unique to 69. Not only was the this year a 'first' for Porsche on a number of somewhat obvious fronts (longer wheelbase comes to mind), but it was also a year of 'onlys', as well as 'firsts and onlys' and 'lasts' (wasn't the MFI pump unique to 69?).

    My thoughts for the thread are on the objective side, but opinions on 69 uniqueness are fine. So any parts (unobtanium, NLA, readily available) or one off design attempts by the factory and the reason or opinion for change are welcome. The posts could be across T,E, and S cars, but an S emphasis is most interesting (to me at least). Basically, I want to learn from this knowledgeable group of enthusiasts, so please indulge me .

    Pictures and part numbers, opinions on scarcity or newer alternatives are all welcome. References to other threads would be great as well.

    I'll start with a few I found today:

    The clutch disk is unique and scarce, NLA from Porsche:

    The rear decklid was unique according to this thread, starting mid year 68 and ending in 69:
