One of 3,561 911T Coupes produced for the 1969 model year, this Karmann-bodied example is finished in a factory color combination of Polo Red over Black upholstery, with a matching engine and optional five-speed manual transmission, as confirmed by the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. Factory options included a five-speed manual gearbox, 911S instrumentation and fuel tank, front and rear bumperettes, left-side antenna, and Becker Europa AM/FM radio. The first year of the long-wheelbase 911, the 1969 model combined the purity and lightweight character of the early long-hood 911s with improved stability and drivability.

The paintwork is in excellent condition throughout, complemented by consistent gaps and panel fit. Exterior trim, brightwork, seals, and badging are in exceptional condition, with original Sekurit glass throughout, except for the front windshield. The cabin is well-preserved, featuring a VDM leather-wrapped steering wheel with a deluxe butterfly horn ring, factory VDO instrumentation, CoCo mats, and a Becker Europa AM/FM radio. The anodized 6" x 15" Fuchs alloy wheels are mounted with Continental Control Contact 195 65 R15 tires (2021). The undercarriage is well-preserved, solid, and rust-free.

Service invoices accompanying the 911 indicate that it was originally delivered in Phoenix, Arizona, and acquired by its second owner in October 1984. Shortly thereafter, Phoenix Porsches performed a buyer's inspection followed by an engine-out reseal and transmission rebuild, establishing an early history of attentive ownership and specialist maintenance. By 2012, the 911 passed to its third owner in Massillon, Ohio. The third owner had the 911 repainted in Polo Red. In 2014, the fourth owner acquired the 911 and commissioned Rusnak/Westlake Porsche of Thousand Oaks, California, to perform a comprehensive inspection and mechanical service. Compression test readings were consistent at 152, 147, 153, 142, 140, and 137 psi across the six cylinders, while service work included spark plugs, oil service, battery replacement, and a new set of tires. Additional cosmetic refurbishment included upholstery and trim work by Autos International, refinishing the Fuch alloy wheels, and further mechanical sorting.

In May 2023, Scientific Porsche of Pasadena, California, completed an extensive mechanical and cosmetic service totaling nearly $9,000. The scope of work included a complete 10,000-mile service with valve adjustment, ignition tuning, spark plugs and wires, carburetor adjustment, rebuilt pedal assembly, brake system servicing, steering and suspension work, ride-height correction, four-wheel alignment, restoration of the factory VDO gauges, and refinishing of the steering wheel. The result is a particularly well-sorted and highly usable early 911 that retains the analog character and direct driving experience that define the model.

Mechanically powered by its matching 2.0L flat-six engine, paired with its matching 5-speed manual transmission and four-wheel disc braking system. This 911T is in exceptional condition and is well-documented. Complete with the owner's manual, toolkit, Porsche Production Specifications Certificate, and an extensive portfolio of invoices and ownership records dating back over four decades. Karmann coachwork, desirable factory options, and a matching driveline. This 1969 Porsche 911T Coupe represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a survivor 911 of Porsche's landmark long-hood era.
