Pre-impact bumper 911S project cars don't seem to come up that often but BAT has one at the moment. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1969-porsche-911-19/
Interested to see what price it fetches.
I really want a 911S but my missis wouldn't withstand another 911. It'd have to be a really special car to replace one I have as I'm quite attached to them. It IS an S engine, but not the original one.

Re: Rare silver 911S project car
Went for £23k that car 911S. Gotta be £75k of work in it I would say. The floor and chassis look almost nonexistent. Just goes to show cheap pre impact bumper esses do come along.Lightweight_911 wrote:- but it has lost all of its mfi equipment ...RobFrost wrote:It IS an S engine, but not the original one.

Re: Rare silver 911S project car
When I first saw the pictures in this link, I wasn't taking too much attention because of the condition and it's in America, but now I realise it's an Euro model. So, I think it has potential and worth it for restoration especially at that price. Someone like Barry can replace the whole floorpan easy. The front trunk doesn't look too bad.RobFrost wrote:https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1969-porsche-911-19/
The '69S is a great model as its engine is the nearest you could get to the the 911R, 906 type, etc.

Re: Rare silver 911S project car
It feels a bit like a missed opportunity to be fair, as I thought it would fetch more like $60k. But I have enough on at the moment anyway.IanM wrote:When I first saw the pictures in this link, I wasn't taking too much attention because of the condition and it's in America, but now I realise it's an Euro model.

Re: Rare silver 911S project car
Isn't the '69 car a one-year-only car and full of awkward parts (to find).
Did it stay in the USA?

Re: Rare silver 911S project car
Yes, the '69 is a one-year only car but the awkward parts to find are the '68 ones (interior stuff). Come to think of it, all longhood 911 parts are difficult to find. I can't even find green primer body panels like wings and rear quarters, etc.911hillclimber wrote:Isn't the '69 car a one-year-only car and full of awkward parts (to find).
