In 1968, Porsche introduced the 911L Sportomatic model with the Type 901/06 engine. It was produced for only one year, and 1,610 cars left the production line, of which 441 were targa and 1,169 were coupes. One of them, a 1968 Porsche 911L is up for auction.

This modified 911L is powered by a replacement 3.0-liter Type 930/06 flat-six with twin Weber triple-barrel carburetors. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a replacement five-speed manual transmission. It is mounted on silver 15″ Fuchs wheels wrapped in 15/60 front and 18/60 rear Michelin TB15 racing tires.

The car is finished in gray and is in good condition. It has 911R-style bodywork and is equipped with a composite hood, decklid, doors, flared front fenders, Hella headlights with plastic covers, 911R-style taillights, a Talbot Berlin left mirror, gold-finished door handles, Lexan side and rear windows, T- handle hood and decklid latches, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, tubular headers and an R-style sport muffler.

Inside, fixed-back bucket seats are trimmed in red vinyl with cloth inserts. In front of the driver is a leather-wrapped three-spoke Nardi steering wheel behind which is a five-digit odometer showing 1,391 kilometers (total mileage is unknown). Additional equipment includes an OMP harness for the driver’s seat, a latch-and-link belt for the passenger seat, leather door pulls, a dash-mounted kill switch, a helmet box stored behind the driver’s seat, and a TRE roll bar.

The auction ends on November 16 and the highest bid at the time of writing was USD $50,000.

The car does not have a title, as it is registered in a country that does not issue titles for road vehicles. It is being sold on its Belgium registration.
