Highlights
Porsche’s 911E model of 1969-1973 essentially replaced the short-lived 911L (Luxus). The 911E was designed to be the more comfortable, more drivable model of 911, fitting between the tamer 911T (Touring) and the high-performance type 911S (Super). In these years, the least-expensive model in Porsche’s range was comprised of the 912, followed by the type 914. The 911E’s designation derives from the German word for injection: einspritzung. The mechanical fuel injection “MFI” system used on the 911E (and 911S) was jointly-developed by Bosch and Porsche. It is similar to the injection system used in the Carrera 6 of 1966. In addition to more precise control of the fuel-air mixture and equality of distribution among the cylinders (compared to carburetors), the MFI contributed toward meeting the nascent emissions control regulations of the time. The 1969 types 911E and 911S also featured a new high-voltage capacitor ignition system that addressed the spark plug fouling problems experienced in earlier 911s. Hydropneumatic Struts Another signature feature of the 911E is the self-adjusting hydropneumatic front suspension struts. Developed by Boge, the struts combined the functions of springs, shock absorbers, and antiroll bars while also automatically adjusting the height of the front of the car to compensate for weight in the trunk. These struts were standard equipment on 911E models from 1969 through 1971. Intended as the luxury model, the 911E came standard (in most markets) with the “comfort” package features including ventilated brake discs with aluminum calipers, velour carpeting, a leather-covered steering wheel, heavy bumper rub strips and rubber guard inserts, chrome rocker-panel trim, and gold-colored script on the rear deck.
The 1969 Porsche 911E Coupe featured here is finished in gorgeous Dark Burgundy Red with a beautiful new black leatherette interior. This original matching numbers 911E has been beautifully restored and is documented with its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. This Porsche is an original California car and one of only 1,968 911E coupes built in 1969. A recent service has been performed and this motorcar is now ready to be driven and enjoyed! This investment grade 911E is among one of the best examples to be found on the market today and we are proud to offer it to the most discerning collector, investor or enthusiast who desires the best. Classic cars have proven to be among the most resilient and rewarding investments in recent years with the Historic Automobile Group Index (HAGI) jumping 39% in 2013 and posting gains of 395-percent over the last 10-years.

Finance rates as low as 8.9%.
We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.
We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.
Terms available up to 144 Months
