Thinking about selling the 68L project I have here in Port Macquarie. Essentially the car (and me) are at a cross-road and I'm very happy doing other stuff these days. The car could form the basis of a lovely 2.0 SWB restoration to semi-original condition; a super SWB hot-rod; or the direction I was heading was a very desirable historic competition car eligible for Group S, and Targa events. There is some minor running around a buyer might need to do as engines are at Promotive Engineering in Brisbane pending rebuilds to your instruction and cost (or retrieval and delivery to your preferred mechanic), but otherwise everything else is located in Port Macquarie NSW (actually stored inland at Wauchope away from coast air).
I could part out everything individually and potentially maximise the value, but I’m a pragmatist living by the ocean away from the hustle and bustle of the cities and just not up for the argy-bargy of selling. So, I’ve decided to make the deal as positive for myself and the buyer as possible by including everything related to the car and at a realistic price and I’m even including the excellent NSW registered Tilta trailer it’s on, so all a buyer would need is a decent sized ute or van for all the spares and a tow-hitch. (FWIW, I rented a Ford Transit LWB van to get it all to Port Macquarie).
Here’s what is on offer:
I know pricing is difficult, but I’m pretty much offering up everything one would need to dive balls-deep into an easy restoration with lots of options and a heap of spares to either use or sell off to defray costs – you could almost build up another early 911 if you’re sitting on another SWB rolling chassis. Lots of stuff already done https://www.typ901.org/forum/forum/t...6-my-swb-racer
Asking $90,000 for everything as is, where is (Car on registered trailer and spares in Port Macquarie, two disassembled but cleaned engines in Brisbane). I'm not up for parting out or separating stuff at this time.
PM me here or email ossiblau at gmail dot com - I can do the phone call thing if you're serious, but am out on field work a lot of this week with intermittent reception.

Here’s what is on offer:
- 1968 911L USA delivered LHD (SWB) chassis# 11805114. Originally Ossi Blue, but currently in 6/10 Viper Green. Very little rust - previous owner had a new floor put in and some other rust work done plus average 2pac paint.
- Import approval (email from DIRD) and no asbestos issues... (It’s been in Australia over 20 years and I think was registered in Victoria once before)
- Matching number magnesium engine (one of the first) and 901 gearbox with the uber rare 901 ZF LSD. Engine/chassis was verbally checked with Porsche Australia – I can’t offer you written proof, but those of you who know how will be able to verify
- Original engine currently at Promotive Engineering in Brisbane pending a rebuild - engine components are clean and measured up and can be built to any spec at this point ($5k spent so far on repairs, clean up, machining, and 3.2 oil pump). Original weber carburettors are missing, was going to go with PMO. There is a set of weber IDTPs which will require work.
- There is an additional 69T engine also at Promotive ready to be rebuilt to any spec (I was intending a nice “S” spec engine for Group S. Also have an additional 901 5spd gearbox suit rebuild for spare/racing).
- Minimal interior – RS door cards, original interior wheel arch trim, door tops, parcel tray, and new headliner. Perfect base for a Group S build or hotrod. Returning the car to original could be done, but it would be hard as 1968 is a difficult year to source interior components due to the very low overall production number for that year and the fact that it was a “change-over” period to the LWB.
- Complete rubber and seal kit to suit SWB (mostly Sierra Madre, some Porsche), a lot of spare engine and gearbox seals as well.
- Two sets of original glass plus polycarbonate rear.
- Extensive steering rack, suspension and brake restoration done. Everything powder coated and/or gold zinc plated including the very rare 68S brakes that came with the US ‘L’ spec. Elephant Racing hollow TBs in 23/33. Does need new/restored Koni inserts.
- Complete extra set of SWB hanging panels (hood, bumpers, front fenders, and rear lid). Pretty much enough to completely backdate a later car or repair a forward-dated car.
- Spare front and rear lights/lenses
- Tilta single axle trailer - current NSW registered to August 2018, new lights, tyres and winch,
and completely roadworthy. - AGI made (Sydney) CAMS spec bolt-in roll cage with paperwork.
- Choose an engine to rebuild (I was going to go with original spec for the correct engine and Group S spec for the spare 2.0)
- Choose a gearbox to rebuild (I was going to shelve original with ZF LSD and build spare box with it's current AFMSX ratio.
- Decide on keeping current paint or go back to metal and original color. (I was going to leave the current green for a track car, but I'd look at going back to original Ossi Blau for a hotrod/partial resto)
