Modified 1968 Porsche 911L is up for auction

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.

1968 Porsche 912 coupe is up for auction

With the end of production of the 356, Porsche became concerned that the price of the new 911, as their only product, could threaten the company’s financial stability. Therefore, it was decided to launch a new model based on the 911, the Porsche 912. It was produced between 1965 and 1969 when it was replaced by the 914. Over 30k cars left the production line. One of them, a 1968 Porsche 912 coupe is up for auction.

This Porsche 912 is powered by a 1.6-liter flat-four with dual carburetors, and factory 90 hp (67 kW) and 90 lb-ft (122 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. Weighing in at 2,130 lbs (966,152 kg) it reaches 60 mph in 11.7 seconds with a top speed of 115 mph (185 km/h). It is mounted on 15″ Fuchs “deep six” alloy wheels wrapped in 185/70 Pirelli CN36 Cinturato tires.

The car is finished in Irish Green, and is in good condition. It is equipped with H4 headlights, a driver’s side mirror, bright bumper guards with rubber trim, black windshield wipers, a retractable antenna, single exhaust outlet, independent front and rear suspension, Bilstein shock absorbers and replacement PMB brake calipers.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in black leather that also covers the door panels and dash, with matching carpet. In front of the driver is a wood-rimmed four-spoke steering wheel and a five-digit odometer showing 78,388 miles. Additional equipment includes front seat headrests, replacement lap belts, rear vent windows, a Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo, a heater, and Coco Mats floor mats.

The car comes with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the original purchase order, an owner’s manual, service records, spare wheels, a tool kit, and a clean Oregon title.
