It’s nice to see another of the more interesting colors available for the 911. Bahama Yellow even brings with it a touch of subtlety relative to some of the other yellows available, which really shows in the hilly vineyard scenery of the pictures here. 1969 is also important for the 911 as it was the year Porsche extended the wheelbase by 57 mm across the 911 range so as to provide more balanced dynamics. The 911E was the mid-range model available, between the entry-level 911T and sportier 911S. These were distinguished from the T by having upgraded interior as well as Bosch fuel injection rather than the Weber carbs of the T. In all, the E had more power, better dynamics, and a more luxurious interior than the T and on the current market they strike a nice balance that doesn’t reach the monetary heights necessary to purchase the extremely desirable S.

Garaged 1969 Porsche 911E Coupe with factory-original floors, numbers-matching engine, and excellent factory Bahama Yellow 6805 /Black Leatherette color combination. Bare-metal repaint with zero rust anywhere, nice body gaps. Superb interior, new tires, new tires, fully serviced: runs and drives well. Car was taken to metal and dismantled (windows out) for painting: dollied and hand-blocked, painted with base-clear paint in the original color; then it was wet-sanded and polished to mirror finish and reassembled with all-new rubbers and seals. An excellent and rare example of the first year 911E coupe. We are a licensed California dealer: California retail buyers will be responsible for tax and license fees. Overseas buyers are welcome: We work closely with a local overseas shipper in San Leandro, California, who offers competitive rates. Please complete any inspections prior to bidding. Thanks for looking!
This is certainly one of the better examples of the 911E I can recall coming across. The exterior and interior both appear to have been restored to a very high standard and it all comes together very well here. In the early stages of this auction, bidding is only at $59,200 and I expect that to come up quite a bit, possibly even reaching six figures.
