For Sale: 1968 Porsche 911 in Rowley, Massachusetts

"The 1968 Porsche 911 is highly celebrated as the final and most refined year of the original short-wheelbase (SWB) chassis configuration. This transitional model year introduced crucial safety and emissions updates for the American market while preserving the lightweight agility that defined early air-cooled Porsches."

This 1968 Porsche 911 under the same ownership since 1981 is finished in Polo Red (6802) with black leather and red pepita cloth inserts and is powered by a 2.0-liter flat 6-cylinder motor factory rated at 130 horsepower and 128 lb.-ft of torque and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

This Porsche 911 received a multi-year comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration completed to Porsche Concurs standards. Its 2.0-liter engine (3280308) was rebuilt to exacting specifications, including race-balanced pistons and sleeves, an original Porsche turbo oil pump, and restored original Weber carburetors.

The 911's interior restoration included new front bucket seats in black leather with Pepita cloth inserts, Dynamat soundproofing throughout the cabin, original Porsche three-point inertia-reel seat belts, headrests, and a cabin air blower.

The restoration effort included replacement of major body panels with new galvanized steel parts with many original Porsche parts. The floor pan, both rear quarter panels and front suspension pan were replaced using the Porsche factory Celette fixture ensuring accurate alignment. Porsche front and rear suspension stabilizer bars were also installed at this time Although the restoration started with a solid example, many of the body panels that were replaced were done so the inner panels could be examined for any corrosion and mitigated if needed.

The Polo Red paint shows extremely well and according to the restorer was applied in accordance with Porsche factory technique and process for the undercoating, primer, and top coat.

Originally equipped with ventilated chrome wheels, which are included in the sale, this Porsche now rides on 15" Fuchs wheels with 195/65R15 tires. Please note that the tires should be replaced due to age.
