1968 Porsche 911 Coupe 5
About This Car
This 1968 Porsche 911 coupe was acquired by the seller in 2021, and work has since involved refinishing the 15″ Fuchs wheels, overhauling the Type 901 five-speed manual transaxle, installing Pertronix elecronic ignition and a sway bar kit, and replacing the alternator, heat exchangers, and windshield washer pump. The car is finished in Polo Red over black leatherette and Pepita cloth and is powered by a 2.0-liter flat-six equipped with dual Weber carburetors. This SWB 911 coupe won second place at the 2021 Amelia Island Werks Reunion and is now offered with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the owner’s manual, service records, spare parts, a spare set of wheels, prior awards, and a clean Tennessee title in the seller’s name. The car was produced in the final year of the short wheelbase 911 series, and came finished from the factory in Polo Red (6802). It was repainted in 2018 following replacement of the front suspension pan and floors. Exterior details include side marker lamps, rear bumper guards, polished trim, and a chrome-plated grille on the rear engine lid. The hazard lights and the left-side high-beams do not work. The 15″ Fuchs wheels were refinished in 2021, and they are mounted with 185/70 Pirelli Cinturato CN36 tires that show date codes from 2021. The car was factory equipped with an independent front suspension including longitudinal torsion bar, upper struts, and lower wishbones. The rear semi-trailing arm setup features a transverse torsion bar. A rear sway bar kit was installed in 2024. The seating surfaces were reupholstered in black leatherette and Pepita cloth in 2022, and a replacement headliner, carpets, door panels, and dash were installed at that time. Lap belts were added in 2021 and the door seals were replaced. A digital stereo with an auxiliary input has been fitted in the stock location, and the cigarette lighter is inoperative. The seller notes that black vinyl seat covers are included in the sale. The replacement four-spoke 380mm
