Hi all! After two very great years with my Tangerine 911T, I've decided to put it in the market. This car was intended to stay in the family forever. Every time we go to the parking lot, my 2 year old says “papa’s car”. I wish it was easier for me to keep this awesome car, but the family is growing and we are moving to NYC so it will be really hard to keep it and enjoy it. I've decided to post the car here first, before moving on to other channels, since I would want to see it in the hands of someone who will really enjoy it as much as I do. Having said that, here’s the description of the car with some preliminary pictures.
This Tangerine 1969 Porsche 911T Coupe left the assembly line on July 17, 1969 and was sold new by Europa Motor Car Co. Ltd. in North Hollywood, CA on September 16, 1969 and after a couple of years it came up to the Bay Area.
It is chassis number 3495 of 3561 911T Karmann Coupes built in 1969. Apparently, the engine had been rebuilt 10,000 miles before the owner started working on the transmission in his garage in 1986. He never finished the work and the car remained in jack stands. When we got the car, it had been off the road in a very dry environment until it was pulled out of a garage in Morgan Hill, CA in September 2013.
The car comes with its original California Black Plates (last registration sticker on the plate was 1987 and we had to scrape back to 1969 to be able to keep the plates at the DMV – scraped stickers were kept with the rest of the car documents).
In terms of documentation, the maintenance booklet and COA confirms it is numbers a matching car (both engine and transmission). Other documents include: (i) a few service invoices from the 70s and 80s, (ii) several 70s and 80s DMV registration cards, (iii) digital copy of last owners pink slip (while they were still pink! The original was handed in at the DMV when I registered the car in 2014), (iv) 20+ gas receipts from the 70s and 80s, (v) original 911T manual and envelope, (vi) 911 Dealership Fact Book, (vii) 911 Dealership Catalog, (viii) Original Service Booklet, (ix) miscellaneous valet parking cards, old fuse set and other memorabilia found in the car at time of purchase (see pictures). As part of the sale, I will include one copy of the 2015 Early 911S Registry Calendar where the car was featured as the July car! (you can buy additional copies from the Early 911S Registry store for $10!).
This 911T has gone through a “windows-out” re-spray in its original Tangerine Color (code: 6809). When we found the car, it had no rust other than a spot in the front trunk floor, which was eaten away by battery acid and has been replaced with parts from Stoddard (see pictures). A couple of small bubbles in the right front fender were fixed, but other than that the body is perfect. Excellent original floors. Radio works really well, but I don’t believe it is factory; however, it has been in the car at least since the 80s).
Some cool extras that come with the car are the tool roll (not complete), Europa Motor (where the car was sold new in 1969) plate cover, Coco Mats in Black/Grey and Momo Prototipo Steering Wheel with custom engraved Porsche Leather Button (original steering wheel also included).
The car has its original black leatherette interior. There are a few details on the passenger seat, but overall still in great shape and shows how well the car has been preserved over the years. Highly desirable 6J x 15 Fuchs wheels which maintain the factory finish and have not been restored.
The car has only one really small leak which comes from the main crank seal. In order to make this fix, the engine would have to come down, so I decided to live with it – it is just a drop here and there. When we put the car on the street, it had a few small oil leaks coming from the upper valve covers and from the short and long oil send lines. I upgraded to turbo upper valve covers (but kept the original magnesium ones and will be included with the car) and replaced the two oil lines (also kept original ones and will be included with the car).
After bringing the car back to life, it was serviced at the very reputable shop The Stable located in San Francisco until I moved to Boston about 1 year ago. The Stable finished sorting the car out including the service after the first 500 miles, restored the pedal box, replaced the front shocks (Koni), and a couple more things. The car received its last 6 month service just a few days ago.
Original extra parts included with the car: (i) 1969 911T steering wheel, (ii) original short and long oil send lines, and (iii) original magnesium valve covers.
If you want to see the car, it is located near Cambridge, Boston (car remains with the California Black Plates and is registered in California). This is just an amazing car. I think it will be really hard to find such an example car with all the documentation/history and in this condition. Please no low-ballers – this will be a car you will enjoy for the rest of your life.
