1968 Porsche 911 Coupe
Overview
Offered here is a highly desirable 1968 Porsche 911 Coupe, the final year of the coveted short-wheelbase platform and finished in an exceptionally attractive and rare factory color combination of Irish Green over Beige. Documented by its original Porsche Kardex and retaining its matching-numbers engine, this example embodies the qualities most sought after by discerning early 911 collectors. The car benefits from an engine upgrade to 911S specification, enhancing performance while maintaining period-correct character and drivability. As the last evolution of the short-wheelbase 911 before Porsche's transition to the longer-wheelbase chassis for 1969, the model occupies a unique and important place in the marque's history.
Accompanying the sale are the original Kardex, owner's manual, tool kit, and a collection of service receipts, providing valuable documentation and supporting its provenance. Combining matching-numbers authenticity, a rare and elegant factory color scheme, and the added appeal of 911S-specification performance, this 1968 Porsche 911 presents an exceptional opportunity for collectors seeking an engaging and well-documented example of one of Stuttgart's most iconic sports cars.
