How many 1969 911S coupes were produced? Car Value?

[KBIII]

I'm a 356 owner... I'm currently looking at a non running Silver/Black '69 911S which has been sitting inside for 30 years. I was wondering the production numbers for that year on "S" coupes and maybe a value as it sits.

Sounds like a nice find!

Pretty sure there were 1,492 '69 S Coupes built. Difficult to peg the present value without more information. Is it complete? Numbers matching engine & trans? Options? Rust?

Nice!...Can't wait to put up a post like that!

I'm going to check into all the numbers matching details on Wednesday. I didn't get a chance, because I had to remove a lot of junk just to get to it. The Engine is there, just out of the car. I'll try to post the two photos I did take.

Looks like you might add another Porsche to your collection. A rare bird indeed, seach this forum about the 69S a lot of info here.
Good luck, welcome to the forum.

Thanks.. I've been searching the web, but haven't come up with too much.. I'll try your suggestion.

I guess my experience with 356 models is the reason why I was interested in knowing the production numbers. I have always heard that the "S" models were sought after in the early 911's. I'm just trying to doing some research prior to making a deal. I know how much 356's are to restore and I assume 911's aren't any different. Any idea of value as it sits, assuming numbers match etc? I appreciate the input.

1492 69S models were made according to the old Red book by Patrick Paternie. I have #1438, and rebuilt her 2 years ago. It was a 2 and a half year project, but it was a lot of fun. It really got me into the Porsche history and geneology, I now know enough to hurt myself. But I keep in touch with the guy that rebuilt the engine, transmission, and suspension. He also had the MFI overhauled and rebuilt. The S is the commanding price model and in good condition with matching numbers are sitting around $80k to $100k these days. The guy has his finger on the pulse of the air cooled cars and hates seeing them go off to Europe where the best value is sitting. He had a trip down to the Oakland and saw a freighter loaded to the gills with old 911's head back to the motherland. I had a guy from Denmark offer me $80k on the spot for my car at Monterey last August. People are guessing that they may hit 6 figures solid this year. Let the criticicism begin. Gooding had a great year with Porsches at Monterey as well.You should check out the auction results, they had like 5 of them on the block and they all pulled 6 figures: http://www.goodingco.com/all_auction...ebble_beach_11 note the 67S at $134, 500 and the 69E at $104,000.
Although emotionally attached, I entertain the idea of cutting her loose at that price and getting a 993 C2. I wouldn't feel bad about driving a newer one hard and not feeling bad if I bent it.
I was into my resto $33k by the time I got it back on the road from sitting for a decade, I blew the lid of my budget by $13K. I still need to do some finishing touches on her, but she runs like a champ and is a blast to drive. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, and I hop you bring this one back to life.

a careful evaluation is needed, looks like engine is partially dis-assembled, wrong wheel on the rear (at least in the photo) should be a deep six, also looks like typical rust at the bottom of the rear window. real hard to put a value with this little information. what else could be wrong/missing ....as in the MFI an important part that makes the first S so equipped.
from here I'd venture $15-20K as a project car depending on condition of the chassis and if most important pieces come with the car.

Thanks so much for your input. I'm going tomorrow to look at the car again and get more details , so I might have a few questions then.
