Vehicle Description
1969 Porsche 911T Sunroof Coupe - R-Gruppe
• 3.3-liter 930 engine case
• 915 5-speed manual transmission
This 911 was originally delivered in Silver Metallic (color code
6851), but the exterior was refinished in a Grey-Black, a factory
option on the 997.2 GT3 RS (similar to Slate Grey). The interior
features Le Mans T85 sport seats that have been upholstered in Red
leather with cloth inserts, all the factory trim panels match,
black carpeting. The electric sunroof works perfectly with no
issues. A new Porsche dash has been installed with a black
Prototipo steering wheel from Momo. Factory VDO instrumentation
have been restored by North Hollywood Speedometer and includes a
150-mph speedometer, an 8,000-rpm tachometer, and a five-digit
odometer showing 59k miles. It is truly in exceptional
condition!
Built by Ryan Turri and powered by a naturally aspirated 3.3-liter
flat-six. The engine case is a 930 Turbo 3.3-liter (Type 930/60)
3,318cc displacement with a 70.4mm stroke, 100.0mm pistons, GE60
camshafts, twin-plug ignition, 3.2 Carrera oil cooler, and 46 Weber
carburetors. The engine was original built by Gary Dielacher at GD
Racing of San Mateo, California. In January of 2020 Schneider
Autohaus in Santa Barbara, California did a freshen up on the
engine and an additional $25,000 was spent. Power is delivered to
the rear wheels through a short-ratio 915 five-speed manual
transmission which was rebuilt by Charles Rossignol of California.
Factory gearing was retained from first to third, but fourth and
fifth were replaced with shorter SN and QQ gears. Handling upgrades
include 911SC-spec Bilstein suspension and brakes in addition to
911SC adjustable spring plates, larger torsion bars, Rebel Racing
bushings, and adjustable front and rear sway bars from Tarett
Engineering. The goal was to build a performance 911.
Both the body & undercarriage are extremely dry & straight with no
signs of damage or rust. The entire car was disassembled, and all
the glass was removed. An aluminum hood and rear decklid were
sourced from Aase Sales. The weight of the vehicle is a mere 2,239
pounds without a driver.
Internally, the original fuel tank has been replaced with a
22-gallon 911SC fuel tank. Externally, European H4 headlights have
been installed, "S" front spoiler, deep 6" x 15" Fuch alloy rims
with new Vredestein Sprint Classic 185/70R15 tires, and a muffler
skirt.
The best part is not how good she looks but the way this 911
drives. It is pure Porsche. There is nothing like the way these
long hood 911s handle. They are very nimble, and you feel the road
with every turn. The 3.3-liter motor also has a very free rev which
is like no other 911. This engine runs absolutely perfect and the
915 transmission shifts precisely & is very smooth. The steering is
light and responsive. The four-wheel oversized disc brakes stop the
car straight and have been completely rebuilt along with the
suspension. An ideal 911 for any vintage touring event. Rare
opportunity to find an exceptionally well-built 911 that has been
restored and sorted.
