First LWB

[leedurrant73]

hi Raj,

I dont think I dare to ask the wife for more pictures, the PC is like an angry monster to her..... no the wheel arches have no sign of modification, they look original with not much corrosion, the only thing I noticed was a welded plated just above the drivers side rear wheel but thought this was a plate welded due to corrosion... not sure what else it could be..
are you positive they are flared? to be honest I never noticed it...

it is also possible that you could have a replacement dash in there. I think that for a period of time in the late 70's or so Porsche sold replacement dashes with no removable speaker grill and no speaker holes punched into the dash - it was just a plain unmolested dash. I have seen a couple in cars over the years. It is a bit difficult to tell from your photos however if it is one of those or a recovered dash that did not provide for the speaker but, to me, the front part of it looks too neat and tight to be a recovered one unless it was an excellent job.

Hi Hugh,

The dash fits very well with no rattles or squeaks, i guess it needs to come off at some point, certainly interesting to know if its original or not?

thanks Lee

Leedurant73,
either you have

-car w many aftermarket items installed (replacement dash, door cards from a 78Turbo/reading your technical forum post, mirror, glovebox cover etc).

or

-car is special.

The "under-structure"/ID of the car would reveil if the sum of these disparate interior parts are hiding a special car or just a standard one loaded with aftermarket changes and details which are not factory original.

Hello,

list the items underneath the car I need photos of and I will take after the 7th December.... Im not certain but the door cards are a lttle different to the 78 turbo,
the stitching is very different...the strips running diagonally are a square shape, the strips on my car are oval..... I need a closer shot of the turbo cards to be certain....seems funny I have 78 cards but original 69 door pockets still on the car?

thanks..Lee

Hi Guys
A bit late but beter than never....
I own 119300002 the second LWB S that was made. The car does have quite an interesting history.
I was delivered to Porsche testing department and became a daily driver for Dr Ferry Porsche from Oct 68 to Oct 69. It was then sold to Baron Carl von Wendtin Oct 69 who was a good friend of Dr Ferry.
I have heard that von Wendt used to have a Porsche collection but know nothing about it. The car was sold and at some point impoted to South Africa where the first South African sold the car to a Gentleman from the Freestate here in South Africa who kept the car for 28 years. He also modified car to G body.

So, what is interesting here is the body number in the door. 320 011. These number were only used for prototypes. 320 001 to 320 009 was 1967 S cars. (not idea at all if these were the first test beds for LWB) Then 320 010 was 69S 119300001.No history of the car is known at this point. Then 320 020 was a 67 4 seater car.

Interesting car. Can you tell me where the numbers on the door are? Or even better, a picture?
Have you any more knowledge on these early lwb prototypes?

Regards
Mike
