What makes a 1969 911 unique?

[Jim Breazeale]

Can you tell me if a 69 right front skirt is the same for what years. Inclination did change during the 60-73 MY but I have been unable to find a precise answer. I need one for a 69 E cpe.

Anal Jim,

Thanks for the detail on the seats and yes worthy of adding to the summary page which I will do shortly.

On the sun visors though, PET shows lots of part numbers for both coupes and targas. Looks like these things went through numerous revisions.

I know mine wouldn't be for a 68 or earlier car due to the hand throttle sticker, but I guess the piece itself could be same.

Anyone with a 68 have a pic of their sunvisor to compare?

[Jim Breazeale]

68 and 69 coupe sunvisors are the same. Your sticker is very cool! The plastic bezel that attaches to the roof is beige in both years and changed to black in later years.

Regards

Jim

reading through I didnt see mentioned this unique one year feature: thru the body oil lines for the front cooler ( S cars only )

That's because they are unique to all 69-71 911S cars.

I really thought the hand throttle debut was with the 68 models...

Andrea, I will attempt a better picture of the hand throttle sticker on the visor and post when I have a chance. Maybe we can turn it over to Carl for a nice repro

I haven't noticed them on other cars I have seen so not sure if 69 only or throughout LWB MFI era...

[beh911]

The most unique thing about the 69S is that it is a one year only 2.0liter MFI car and 1500 examples that most don't really understand the car and think the bigger diaplacement 70 and later cars are better.I am not sure how many have really driven a well sorted 69S to make the claim.Real life is rarely in the spec's.It is the epitome of the 911S.

I tend to agree with this, and not only out of ownership bias... more out of what happened after 69 with all manufacturers--Compromise.

Safety equipment (seat belt buzzers, warning light, side impact beams in doors), environmental regulations (fuel tank vapor collection maze), lower compression (fuel economy standards arriving, emissions), higher displacement (same).

Not arguing the need for that stuff in 70+, just stating what it was in response to.

IMO, 69 was the last year free of the clutter of mandated systems.

With that said, I would love a properly sorted 2.2S in equal amounts...

Thank you very much.
