Porsche 'Family' Cars . . .

[911T1971]

According to Steve McQueen . . .
If I remember correctly, he said the factory presented him with the car during filming when they learned he planned to show a Porsche winning the race. He was extremely proud of the car because it was a "family" car - one pulled off the assembly line and hand built to exacting tolerances as was done for a Porsche board member or member of the Porsche or Piech family when they got cars for their personal use . . .[/COLOR][/I]

Interesting that you bring this car/topic up

SM had two Early 911s . . . that I know about, any way

The first is 119300193 = the '69 --- the car that his son Chad still has . . . see post #21 . . .

The second is 9110301502 . . . a car w/ the distinction of being the most expensive 911 ever sold at auction . . . and not even by a little . . . see post #20 . . .

Now, The Story has always been that SM ordered his '70 911 'color-to-sample' --- slate grey = special color . . . picked it up @ The Faktory, drove it for a time, then returned it for a different gearbox --- LSD?, special ratios?, something.



Anyway, what's always intrigued me was that the '70 car --- as I recall . . . was originally supposed to've been delivered in late '69

But then I note the VIN = 1502

I have a car that was delivered sometime before April '70 --- 4-to-5 months, after . . . . VIN = 1059


Maybe someone w/ a VIN close to SM's 1502 car can comment about their build-date --- Mr Conklin (cornpanzer), perhaps . . .

. . . but I've always wondered about 1502's VIN apparently appearing so early . . .

Wow! --- another really amazing car . . .

Any more details, like --- where/when/how . . . and how did you find out that it was what it was?


And thank you for posting!

I was hoping to see something about a car I saw 40 years ago in St. Helens, Oregon. It was a 911 or 912 that had a backwards sunroof. It opened over the back seat area and went forward when you opened it. It was owned by the cousin of an acquaintance of mine. He said that it had been built by Porsche for one of the women Porsche family members.

Anyone know anything about that car?

Exactly like that.

Do you know the history of the car? Does it match the version I heard?
