Vehicle Description
This highly original 1969 Porsche 911T was completed on 7/11/69 and
finished in Sand Beige with a black leather interior. Additional
options on the order included 5-speed transmission, Koni shock
absorbers, Stabilizers Front and Rear, 15 x 6 Light Metal Wheels
with 185/70 VR 15 tires, Leather Steering Wheel, Bumperettes Front
and Rear, Antenna - Left, Loudspeaker in Dashboard and Dunlop
Tires. The Certificate of Authenticity on hand lists the original
engine number as 6197110 and transmission as 7198281, both of which
remain in the car today.
Little is known of the early history of this car, but we have
record that it was owned by a long time member of the Porsche Club
America in the Potomac region. In any event, it is clear this car
has been very well looked after for its entire life and certainly
never regularly exposed to the outside elements. The exterior
paintwork has been redone to a high standard and is free of any
major scratches or blemishes. The glass is in very good shape as is
all exterior brightwork and rubber. The Fuchs alloy wheels have
been correctly refinished and are wearing brand new Pirelli
Cinturato CN36 tires in the correct size, 185/70-15. The interior
has had new carpets and the seats were re-trimmed at one point, but
the rest appears original and in very good condition for being so.
The front compartment is all original including the carpet and
paint finishes. This area is shockingly good and free of the usual
rust found in Porsches of this age. The spare wheel is a matching
Fuchs with an older Michelin tire. Also tucked away are an original
tool kit, original jack and dual Interstate batteries. The engine
compartment and undercarriage are the same - clean and tidy with
finishes that have never been restored. We wish they were all this
good.
After being purchased by European Collectibles, we performed an oil
service, adjusted the carburetors, installed a new fuel filter,
installed new brake rotors and pads all the way around and flushed
the brake fluid. The road tests that followed the service work and
tire installation were trouble free and the car performed
beautifully. There is something special about how good a car that
has never been damaged, rusted and repaired, or fully restored
feels on the road.
