Vehicle Description

1968 Porsche 911L Sunroof Coupe

• VIN 11805084
• Engine No. 3280284 - Matching
• Transmission No. 3280932
• Completed on October 30, 1967
• Porsche Kardex and Porsche Production Specification

One of 499 examples produced, this 911L is a rare factory electric sunroof with matching engine, verified by the Porsche Kardex. Skandinavisk Motors in Copenhagen initially sold Chassis No. 11805084 to the first owner, Donald M. Pratt. Finished in its original color combination of Light Ivory (Code 6804) with black leatherette interior, equipped from the factory with an electric sunroof, left outside mirror, pair of seatbelts, Becker radio, loudspeaker, antenna, and Phoenix tires.

The 'L' designation, for 'Luxe,' was essentially the European premier '911S' model fitted with an air-pump equipped to the engine to meet US emissions requirements stateside. This model was the most expensive Porsche in the American market, with a sticker price of $600 over the previous year. It became an immediate success and instantly collectible as a one-year-only production model.

The paintwork is in beautiful condition, complemented by the brightwork, mostly original glass, and Porsche side stripes. The upholstery is in excellent condition with a nice patina and features one-year-only door pockets, a VDM steering wheel, VDO instrumentation, and an original Becker Europa Radio. The 6" x 15" Fuch alloy wheels are mounted with Vredestein Sprint Classic 185 70 HR15 tires (2021). The undercarriage has been well preserved and is solid and rust-free.

Powered by its matching 2.0-liter flat-six engine (Type 901/14), producing 130 hp, paired to a manual 5-speed transmission (Type 902/1) with four-wheel disc brakes and recently serviced at European Collectibles, including the braking system, a new fuel tank, a complete engine service, and tune-up. Complete with a spare wheel, 911L owner's manual, Porsche Production Specification, a Porsche Kardex - build sheet, and recent service records. An excellent opportunity to acquire a 911L with a rare electric sunroof, finished in its original color combination and equipped with its matching 2.0L flat-six engine.
