Celebrity Cars

[911MRP]

Rather gruesome … August 9 1969 … it was a long time ago.

Location 10050 Cielo Drive LA at the Polanski residence. Body being recovered is one of the five victims that included Sharon Tate and an Abigail Folgers, coffee heiress.

There is a 911 in the background. Image snapped from tv screen of old film footage so explains why it’s not clear — appeared in a Netflix documentary Chaos.

Looks to be black coupe on Fuchs with side marker on rear? It could belong to one of the responders but perhaps more likely type of vehicle owned by a Bel-Air resident?

Found in www but who knows if what is said is correct . Jay Sebring was one of the five victims a successful hairdresser

Perhaps his nephew and maker of the documentary, Anthony DiMaria, knows the whereabouts of the 911???

I believe Sebring's car was a '68. From the picture, it looks like this one could be a 68. It wasn't typical to put those reflectors or headlight doors on earlier cars. Hard to be sure, but the door handles also look like 68.

In Tarentino's movie, a '73 was used despite the movie being set in '69.

and I think it was a Sportomatic

and I think it was a Sportomatic

That’s my understanding

[McOtto]

Yes, appears to be a ‘68 911L Sportomatic.

I highly recommend Jay Sebring....Cutting to the Truth. Excellent documentary about an entrepreneurial pioneer who shared our enthusiasm for Porsches. It appears Sebring’s business partner, Jim Markham, bought the 911 from Sebring’s father: https://www.americansalon.com/hair/j...hollywood-life
