Looking at selling my Aussie delivered 1969t… VIN 119010045 and matching number engine.
Our sea-change from Brisbane to Port Macquarie has prompted me to assess my needs. I intend to get my US delivered 68L fully sorted and log-booked for GroupS as well as being capable on the road. And I can’t use two 911s.
I will include the beta WEVO SPS bearing swing arms - these allow almost frictionless travel. These arms are not currently available to the market. There are Elephant “spherical” bearings on the front and a 21/28 torsion bar combo. It is a very comfortable ride and superior to original.
The original matching numbered 2.0 engine and 901 gearbox are included. Sportomatic gearbox also comes with the car. It would be possible to put it all back in, but it would be a big job, and the issues that prompted me to remove the sporto including vacuum line/diaphragm leaks and a cactus torque converter remain. But it’s all there for prosperity. The engine was healthy and running when removed 12 years ago. It has been stored well and still turns over by hand. I'm sure it will run stright off, but consider it a full rebuild proposition if you’re of a mind to improve it.
The guards are SC and butt welded properly. To return the car to original profile would require rear guards and deep sixes. The current 15” x 7&8 fuchs would defray a lot of the cost of sourcing sixes if that was the preference.
The interior is quality with correct Haargarn wool carpets, leather and tartan Nurburgring seats, and a new black headliner. Steering wheel is a double leather wrapped RSR style with puck and RSR extended hub. Instruments completely refurbished by NHS in SoCal. There is also a lovely 917 replica balsa knob on the wevo shifter.
Pretty much everything about this car has been documented by me on the web - there’s no secrets, and I’ve tried not to take any short cuts other than doing the paint myself. It is not a perfect car, but good. Every orifice was later blasted with Lanotec industrial corrosion inhibiter. There are some paint imperfections and a couple of runs I’ve never got around to colour sanding out - but the advantage of solid colour means they can be resolved.
The car is bespoke to my vision and certainly not original - did give myself a brief to keep everything very close to ‘period original’ - I imagined what a well heeled gentleman could/would do to his sports purpose 911 circa 69/70. I promise it performs, rides and drives better than it ever did originally.
If you’re after an original time machine, move on - this is not the car for you, however the base is there if you wanted to take this path I guess, rather than enjoy a hotrod.
The car does need tyres. The current Michelin TBs are a bit hard and are date coded to 2004, so likely not going to slip through a roadworthy. I was about to drop some coin on new Pirelli CN36s but am going to hold off and potentially let another owner decide. There are also some cosmetic things such as some corroding fasteners that I'm currently changing, and some white polishing residue which is in some seams that I am also working on removing.
Car is currently located located with me in Port Macquarie NSW and is currently registered on Queensland club plates It is not transferable and given the difficulties with location, I intend to sell the car unregistered. So it’s pretty much a “where is, as is” kind of sale. If the car goes to Queensland I’ll toss in the TYP901 number plates.
Price? I'm at $130k... There seems to be a little bit of choice out there for buyers now so I'm sure the market will dictate what the car is actually worth. My thoughts are that it’s a matching number Aussie right hooker, corrosion free 911 - not a 912. Have a look at what's out there, and what the usual suspects are asking for similar cars. I've discounted a reasonable amount factoring in some attention to the engine/box by your favourite mechanic. I could also jump through these hoops but living in Port Mac makes it more difficult, and I'm offering to leave some coin on the table for the next owner to get it the way they'd like it.
Never thought I’d part with this car, and I am certainly having mixed feelings, but I feel it’s the right time for me to let this car go.
I hate selling, and I’m not particularly good at it. I am only putting it up on the Typ901 board at this time with the presumption that genuine buyers will find me. I’d prefer email at this stage to ossiblau@gmail.com with any questions and I can arrange a time to talk. Work sees me out in the field a bit and phone coverage is never guaranteed.
I could do a photo essay, but there are enough photos of the car floating about the board. Email me for specific photographs if needed...
Cheers

), haven't installed the new blower cover, and there's some fasteners I need to replace... My failure to do these things just highlights how little time I've had over the past couple of years and continue not to have
