Here is a short bit on the car. http://rgruppe.blogspot.com/2010/07/...co-73-rsr.html

. . . Two owner 1969 911S Targa in rare and desirable Tangerine . . .
. . . Matching numbers. Original leather 'comfort' seats. Date-matching 15 X 6" Fuchs wheels. Original Mechanical Fuel Injection in good state of tune . . .
. . . This is #550 of only 614 911S Targas made in 1969. Engine number is 6391900. Owned by the current owner since 1979. This is basically one of those "no stories" cars you rarely come across. It sat, protected, for nearly 5 years before the owner realized it made more sense to sell to someone who would use and appreciate it. He had it recommissioned, with fuel purged, new batteries, fuel filter, fuel hoses, spark plugs, new engine & gearbox oil, new engine gaskets, a sending unit, fuses, bulbs, etc. The brake calipers were freed up and suspension bushing were replaced. In other words, a full reconditioning to good driving status . . .
. . . If you have never driven a '69 S, you will be amazed at the lightness and agility of the car. This example is in a good state of tune: starts easily and runs strong; shifts smoothly. -- and really needs nothing to drive and enjoy . . .
. . . Chassis is good, though it has lost some of its undercoating here and there. There are small spots of rust: base of Targa bar on driver's side and left door shell. The car was repainted once and could use it again . . .
. . . Good gaps, as you can see in the photos. I saw no evidence of accident, although the front VIN plate is missing. Chassis stamp is in place, and history back to 1979 is solid. The car has a clean title. Records show the 46,000 miles on the odometer are likely correct, but we don't know about the car's history with its first owner 1969-79 . . .
. . . The dash is a Porsche factory replacement from the late '70s/early 80s. Not cracked like most. Note that the photos show a different engine grille. I am replacing the black grille with the original 3-bar grille that was on the car as delivered. Also, the car comes with one original foglight and one housing as well as the foglight that is currently on the car . . .
. . . As you probably know, if you're reading this listing, the early 911s have been on something of an appreciation streak for the past 5-6 years. And the best-appreciating cars have been the high performance 911s, especially the Carrera RS. The record prices for these cars seem to be pulling up the 911S models. If it's possible to consider a car an investment, the '69S is probably among the best candidates . . .
. . . And there aren't a lot of investments you can drive and enjoy like this one. I encourage you to see the car at TRE in Van Nuys. It can be seen and checked out prior to purchase. Scientific Auto in Pasadena also knows the car and did the recommissioning after its 4-year sleep . . .
. . . I am listing this car on behalf of the seller. I will be happy to answer your questions or arrange access . . .
. . . There are many photos of the car on Flickr:

This is a car you can drive now and restore later... or never. I'd never driven a '69S before and it's a pretty unique feel. 3 bids within 20 minutes, and 2 of 3 from Yurrup. Would love to keep this one here, folks.
Gris, This car looks SO much better now that you have added the wheels.Quote:

Get a VIN and somebody will track it down.
Car has been there for at least five years.Was asking 150,000 up until last year, when prices went up, and now who knows, as he has it at"inquire". Was an east coast car and from the pics was done well.Good luck with Sloan.Quote:
