911S/911L Cars for Sale

[Tom F.]

My post was not a put down of Janzen, at all. In fact, he seems like one of the few guys in the world who truly appreciates these cars and what it means to be original. His prices are what the German market will bear, which are much higher than Americans will pay. My old car sold very quickly, so I guess that he got asking or close to it. The number made my jaw drop, especially because I don't think that he did much, if anything, to the car, it sold in much the same condition as I last had it. I will add that my transaction with Janzen was through an intermediary and that everyone involved was reliable and honest. Anyone selling an early 911 in good condition should be aware that the prices in Germany are higher than they are here.

I heard through the grapevine that Buck Lewis sold his 69S at asking price. I really liked this car...

"Who is buying what" is a topic of conversation lately. Murmerings that the market might be slowing down because Europeans seem to be buying less simply doesn't hold water.
I do find it amusing that just a few years ago Europeans wouldn't get near a Targa.

. . . The 1969 911 S cars are finally coming into their own. This was a unique transition year for Porsche and as a result, one of the best 911s was produced. The 1969 S had one of the lightest chassis as well as a 2.0 Liter engine derived directly from its race program. Making use of the new mechanical fuel injection, these motors produced 170hp. This combination with the longer and lighter chassis produced a racecar for the street . . .

. . . Competition Motors of Southern California delivered this Porsche new on April 24th, 1969. John Von Neumann, Porsche and Ferrari racer, owned this famous Porsche dealership in the Los Angeles area. He sold many Porsches to the local Hollywood crowd including James Dean’s infamous 550 Spyder . . .

. . . This Porsche was very nicely ordered with the following options per the original bill of sale:
..Outside mirror right side
..2 Headrests in leather
..Lock for front luggage compartment
..1 Antenna
..Special paint (two stage with clear silver metallic)
..Standard leather seats
..Tinted side windows for coupe
..Tinted rear window for coupe
..1 Loudspeaker
..Steering wheel lock
..Electric operated steel sunroof

The total MSRP with options was $8,923.15

. . . Some existing and unique original elements of this car include:
..Original 3-bar chrome engine grill
..Original “orange-bar” Porsche hood badge
..Original in-dash fog light switch (working)
..Original cig. lighter (working)
..Original Euro Spec turn signal assemblies
..Original battery box cover
..Original rocker panels with deco
..Original California black license plates
..Original Sigla windshield
..Original (rare) single stage rear window defroster
..Original carpet (missing driver side floor piece)
..Complete original interior
..Car has never been apart
..All glass is original (except aftermarket windscreen…original is included with the car)

. . . The first owner used the car as a daily driver and within the first 6-years racked up nearly 94,000 miles. We have all the dealer stamps in the maintenance book showing that the car was properly serviced. Reportedly, the original owner had health issues and by the late 70’s/early 80’s the car was no longer being used on a regular basis. By the mid-90’s the car was sold to the 2nd owner who was a retired stonemason. He had done some work for the original owner and remarked that he always wanted a Porsche so the owner gave the car to him as partial payment for work. This owner, although he loved the car, really wasn’t a Porsche enthusiast. Shortly after he purchased the car, he removed the original wheels and installed some chrome 16” Fuchs and had the car repainted. Then, he encountered health issues and the car ended up being covered in a carport until the current owner found it in the early 2000’s. The car had been sitting but with a little coaxing, it fired right up and he drove it home . . .

. . . Under careful inspection, they found the chassis to be extremely dry with no signs of rust or damage of any kind. Basically, the car only needed mechanical attention. So, for the next 10-years and nearly $50,000, the current owner made this truly one of the nicest and tightest driving early 911 S cars I’ve ever experienced . . .

. . . The current owner is truly meticulous and likes his cars to drive a particular way. As a result, this Porsche went through three engine evolutions in the constant quest for the “perfect” set-up. He wanted something with good power and torque but also very drivable. The first step was having Tim Ball (well-respected factory trained Porsche tech) open the motor and make sure everything was ok. The motor was a bit tired, so he began by going through the injection components to wake things up. The throttle bodies, stacks, and linkage were sent out to Eurometrix for a complete rebuild and Gus at Pacific rebuilt the MFI pump. He also found that Carrera chain tensioners were already installed . . .

. . . After a bit of driving, the current owner was getting used to the 2.0L set up but the motor still was tired and needed attention. So, he went back to Tim to have more extensive engine build done. They discussed different options and decided on something that would be more period-correct with a race modified S motor. This build included opening the bottom end, inspecting the original crank, and installing 2.2 E pistons, cylinders, and heads. The final result was a joy to drive. The owner absolutely loved the free-revving feel of the motor . . .

. . . Unfortunately, the case started developing some oil pressure issues. The owner knew that the case needed to be opened up and fixed. At this point, he employed the father & son team of Tony and Marco Gerace of www.TLGAuto.com to do a complete engine rebuild. TLG is one of the most respected Porsche shops on the West Coast. They are known for doing great work on many Early S and R Gruppe member cars. The goal was to make a strong and reliable motor that had lots of low-end torque without out loosing the high-revving characteristics of an Early S engine. While working on the motor, Tony was impressed with the head-work and general motor work done by Tim . . .

. . . The following was performed:
*..Ollies refurbished the engine case, which was boat tailed, decked, and had some minor repairs to make sure there was no leaking. They set it up so that the engine would oil itself more efficiently. It was also line-bored. The end result was a dry engine that would not over-heat.
*..A 70.4mm crank was installed along with the new 2.2 E Heads and the new S cams.
*..Plates were installed in the motor to help bring compression up to around 9.5-9.8:1.
*..Stock 911 S oil cooler with bumper vents. Even on hot days, the oil temp rarely goes above 180 degrees. Engine runs very cool.
*..So effectively, the end result was a stroker 2.5L engine with a 7,500-rpm capability and tons of low-end torque like a 2.7L. Tony went back and modified the case to house an SC oil pump and modified the oil passages and returns to increase oil flow for reliability and to help it run cooler . . .

. . . Along with the engine enhancements, the following items were installed or refurbished:
..Rebuilt original S brake calipers
..Rebuilt master cylinder
..New stainless steel brake lines
..Cross-drilled rotors
..Rebuilt pedal assembly
..Stock sway bars
..Adjustable drop links on front sway bar.
..Reinforced sway bar mounts
..New stock suspension bushings
..26mm rear torsion bar
..17mm front torsion bar
..Koni shocks replaced.
..Rebuilt wheel bearings
..Adjustable rear spring plates
..Turbo tie-rods.
..SSI stainless heat exchangers with thermal coated Dansk sport muffler.
..Turbo valve covers
..Aftermarket through-the-grill fog lights.
..Porsche short-shift kit

. . . The end result was magnificent. This car is EXACTLY how an Early S should drive . . .

. . . It is so refreshing to find a car so complete with all of its original bits and with no damage. The owner truly was careful about preserving what he had. The chassis is bone dry without a drop of oil or any signs of rust/abuse. The paint is not the original shade of silver but is presentable and fits the look of the car. The current owner painted the center stripe and installed 911 R decals on the rockers. The 15x6 steel wheels, sport muffler, and fog lights complete the look. This Porsche has just the right amount of “early-style” sport-purpose/R Gruppe attitude. The interior is very nice and original. The door panels are complete and look great. The car still has most of its original carpet. The dash is near perfect with no cracks or warping. The original sun visors are decent with just a slight amount of puffing. The headliner is original and is showing some slight discoloration as well as wear by the sunroof zipper. The 1979 Momo Mario Andretti “signature series” steering wheel looks great. All the gauges appear to work properly . . .

. . . This is one of those Porsches you can enjoy today and when you are ready, bring it to the next level to command all the value. It is a very complete car with nearly all of its original bits and pieces. Combine this with fresh mechanicals and a dry/straight chassis…you can do the math . . .

. . . Included with this Porsche are the following items:
*..Most receipts from current owner
*..Original owner’s manuals
*..Original complete set of keys
*..Original maintenance record book with jacket
*..Original spare (with possibly the original spare tire)
*..Original jack
*..Original tool kit
*..Original radio/antenna manual
*..Original bill of sale
*..Original leather front seats and headrests
*..Original front steel bumper with deco trim, bumperettes, and original front black license plate
*..Original rear reflectors
*..Original side aluminum rocker trim
*..Complete brightwork kit for the car including aluminum trim for the wheel arches
*..Original horn grills
*..Original heads, pistons, valve covers, and chain boxes
*..Manual sunroof actuator
*..Original headlights
*..Original Sigla windshield in good condition with original rear view mirror still attached
*..Original rear seatbelts
*..NOS door window felt, rear deck lid, and front hood weather-stripping
*..NOS license panel and front hood bumper gaskets

. . . offerred at $99,990
