1968 Porsche 911

1968 saw the last of the original short-wheel base 911 models which are highly collectible today. Early 911s in rare colors are even more desirable. This 1968 911 Karmann Coupe is unique in two ways. First, it is finished in its original special order Pastel Blue color. Secondly, is the fact this early 911 was produced by the Karmann werks and in 1968 only 742 911 coups were produced making this an extremely rare find. 1968 marked a turning point for the 911 with several changes in design over the previous 65-67 short-wheel base models. These included white lettered gauges, uncovered headlights with wide chrome trim., side markers and unique one year only interior appointments to list a few. This Karmann coupe features a completely original interior and a repaint of the original Pastel Blue color. The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity shows this car was completed by the Karmann werks on August 1, 1968 delivered in Pastel Blue with Black Leatherette interior. Optional equipment at the time of delivery were: Instruments in English, bumper horns front and rear, tinted glass all around, chrome rims (upgraded to factory Fuch alloys), fog light with white reflector, Blaupunkt Frankfurt US brand radio and Pirelli tires. Fog lights added after delivery. When I added this beautiful Karmann Coupe to my collection I had the engine and the transmission re-built by Joe Vatter, President of German Tech.
