1969 Competition 911

[LongRanger]

From the presence of the rivets --- I'd guess that 0009 has an alu front bumper, as well?

These narrow-body light-weights are prolly my All-time Favorite Early 911

Too bad I missed seeing this one

This is one in a set of b/w factory photos that's for the model year 1970 911S, Homologation GT. the back of the photo reads below...

That passenger seat looks a bit too new.
I think it should be this one

and again it shows that in Germany, the 1970 911S was sold standard in above version. If you would like comfort, you would order the E or start with a T.
It still has 69' handles, must be about May/Spring 1969.

Pics of the car posted by Ernie look like the same car that Cornpanzer and I saw a couple of years ago in a New England shop, except tidied up a bit. Belts are RePa but I can't remember if the billboards were still present. It was purchased by by its long-time owner out of a used car ad in the Sunday New York Times as a 1969 911S with rally parts...Sixes front and rear; plastic tank needed a re-seal; front fenders were steel as I recall and I don't remember the Scheel R seats being in there at the time. We drooled all over it.

Flunder; Are you sure that it had 6s ft and rear? When I restored the wheels, they looked like a well worn set of 6&7Rs.. I'll look through my notes to verify the dates. Now at least, it has 6&7Rs. When the shop sent the wheels and said they were from a GTS. I had to go back to reread EWE to understand what car he was talking about. They were referred to as GT..S as far as I can tell. The big thing that I did remember from reading the book 30+ years ago was that S's were standard without trim and all of the trim had to be ordered so they could homologate the the car without trim. To get the weight down to race in a GT class.

Harvey, do you know what size tires is it running in the photos from Carmel?

Wow, this forum is cool..
Some answers to a thread I started 5 yrs ago. Thank you Ernie, great detailed pictures. The 1969 competition cars were such a mystery.

[Cornpanzer]

Thank you for the photo Ernie! Do you have any more lightweight 70 pics?

I have one front end shot, the rest are back on post #5, #6, and above. This set of factory photos was on my 911R site, but since closed. The Dunlop Racing tires were 5.00 M-15 front, and 5.50 M-15 rear, and both "204 CR65". The rear wheel hub had a spacer (photo). The color shot is a factory post card.
