1968 Porsche 911 Coupe

2L pistons and Weber 40 carburetors. This SWB 911 is now being offered with recent compression and leak-down test results, some spare parts, a toolkit, uninstalled Cibie rally lights, and a transferable New York registration. Originally finished in Dark Green Metallic, the car was repainted in a light ivory some time ago. Some chips remain in the orange hood and lower front valence. Exterior modifications include an antenna and rocker panel deco delete, a driver-side Durant mirror, and H-4 European headlamps. The original hood badge is chipped and has been removed, though it is included along with factory fog lamp covers, Cibie rally lights, and a period switch. Performance Superlite 15Ã?7â? wheels are wrapped in 205/55 Falken rubber. A spare Lemerz 5. 5â? steel wheel is date-stamped from December 1969 and accompanies the sale. Scheel Model 100 sport seats from a 3. 0 CSL were reupholstered with black leather bolsters, cloth inserts, and Scheel logo buttons. Vintage Porsche three-point racing belts and RS-style black leatherette door panels were added. New German carpet and headliner have also been installed, and two-tone Coco mats protect the carpeting. A Momo Prototipo flat steering wheel with a Momo Porsche hub and horn button were fitted. New brushed aluminum trim replaces the radio, ashtray, and cigarette lighter delete. Instrumentation include an 8,000 rpm tachometer and center-mounted Heuer lap timers, and gauges were refurbished by North Hollywood Speedometer. The 9,911 miles currently shown on the odometer are not accurate. The 1969 911S engine (#6390970) was rebuilt with Mahle 2. 2L 911S pistons, a custom camshaft, and Weber 40 IDA 3C1 carburetors mounted on tall PMO intake manifolds. The Bosch distributor, generator, and 3-pin CDI were also rebuilt, and a newer voltage regulator, battery, ignition wires, and plugs have been installed.
