History of the 1969 Porsche 911:
1969 brought the first substantial changes to the Porsche 911 lineup, which now consisted of three models: the 911T, 911E, and 911S. All of these were available in coupe and Targa body styles. The T was carbureted until 1972, while the E and S were mechanically fuel-injected. In 1969, Porsche stretched the wheelbase and flared the wheel arches, allowing wider tires to be fitted. Unlike most performance cars of the era, horsepower kept climbing through fuel injection, and a series of 200 cc displacement increases culminated in the 1972 2.4-liter cars.
The T was the base model with the lowest horsepower. It was tractable and quite adequate for street use. The E had more horsepower and luxury features, while the 200 hp S was the car for weekend racers. Rust continued to be an issue, although Porsche was at least paying more attention to the car’s vulnerable floor pans by this time. A mid-year change to Bosch electronic fuel injection for 1973 ½ 911T produced what many believed to be the sweetest running 911 yet.
