Two owner 1969 911S Targa in rare and desirable Tangerine

Matching numbers. Original leather 'comfort' seats. Date-matching 15 X 6" Fuchs wheels. Original Mechanical Fuel Injection in good state of tune.

This is #550 of only 614 911S Targas made in 1969. Engine number is 6391900. Owned by the current owner since 1979. This is basically one of those "no stories" cars you rarely come across. It sat, protected, for nearly 5 years before the owner realized it made more sense to sell to someone who would use and appreciate it. He had it recommissioned, with fuel purged, new batteries, fuel filter, fuel hoses, spark plugs, new engine & gearbox oil, new engine gaskets, a sending unit, fuses, bulbs, etc. The brake calipers were freed up and suspension bushing were replaced. In other words, a full reconditioning to good driving status.

If you have never driven a '69 S, you will be amazed at the lightness and agility of the car. This example is in a good state of tune: starts easily and runs strong; shifts smoothly. -- and really needs nothing to drive and enjoy.

Chassis is good, though it has lost some of its undercoating here and there. There are small spots of rust: base of Targa bar on driver's side and left door shell. The car was repainted once and could use it again.

Good gaps, as you can see in the photos. I saw no evidence of accident, although the front VIN plate is missing. Chassis stamp is in place, and history back to 1979 is solid. The car has a clean title. Records show the 46,000 miles on the odometer are likely correct, but we don't know about the car's history with its first owner 1969-79.

The dash is a Porsche factory replacement from the late '70s/early 80s. Not cracked like most. Note that the photos show a different engine grille. I am replacing the black grille with the original 3-bar grille that was on the car as delivered. Also, the car comes with one original foglight and one housing as well as the foglight that is currently on the car.

As you probably know, if you're reading this listing, the early 911s have been on something of an appreciation streak for the past 5-6 years. And the best-appreciating cars have been the high performance 911s, especially the Carrera RS. The record prices for these cars seem to be pulling up the 911S models. If it's possible to consider a car an investment, the '69S is probably among the best candidates.

And there aren't a lot of investments you can drive and enjoy like this one. I encourage you to see the car at TRE in Van Nuys. It can be seen and checked out prior to purchase. Scientific Auto in Pasadena also knows the car and did the recommissioning after its 4-year sleep.

I am listing this car on behalf of the seller. I will be happy to answer your questions or arrange access.

There are many photos of the car on Flickr:

One POV lap shows 62 years of Porsche through 20 cars

Thu, Dec 17 2015

Porsche has earned a legacy of motorsports success that many brands would envy, and the amazing vehicles that achieved those victories were on display this year at the Rennsport Reunion V at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. We visited this massive celebration of the sports car company and got a great look at some of the 1,400 Porsches in attendance. Now it's time for you to strap in and enjoy a POV lap of the track in 20 cars that exemplify 62 years of taking checkered flags across the world. This clip offers a chance to see and hear the evolution of Porsche's racers in just a couple of minutes. It starts behind the wheel of some of the early four-cylinder cars but quickly transitions to the brand's iconic prototypes and eventually to the modern track machines. Here's an opportunity to experience some of these historic vehicles from the cockpit if you missed the chance to see them at Rennsport Reunion V in September.

Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.
