Upon the introduction of the new entry-level Porsche 911T in 1968, the standard Porsche 911 model briefly earned the designation “911L” before being replaced by the 911E in the following year. The 1968 model year also saw the last of the short-wheelbase 911s as well as the introduction of the Sportomatic transmission, a semi-automatic gearbox that allows the driver to shift through gears without operating a clutch pedal. This 1968 example is said to have remained within the same family since it was originally purchased in Tampa, Florida, and was treated to a service in 2021 costing over $2k. This 911L is now being offered for auction with a copy of its Kardex, the original bill of sale, and extensive maintenance records.

The exterior came factory-finished in Light Ivory and includes optional tinted glass, a passenger-side mirror, 911S-style rocker moldings, and gold rear lettering including a unique Sportomatic badge. It rides on factory 15” Fuchs wheels dressed in Bridgestone SF-371 tires. The seller notes that the car was involved in an accident in 1980 with a corresponding police report and repair bill indicating damage to the driver’s side. Additional images are provided in the gallery along with paint meter readings.

The black leatherette interior came generously optioned from the dealer with a raised steering wheel, air conditioning system, an AM/FM radio, and two headrests. The cabin is described to have been kept in excellent condition for its age and retains full functionality of all gauges and accessories, although the A/C does not blow cold.

The original air-cooled 2.0-liter flat-six engine is paired with a numbers-matching Sportomatic 4-speed transmission that drives the rear wheels. The Sportomatic unit features a vacuum-operated clutch that engages upon the driver’s grasp of the shift knob, eliminating the need for a clutch pedal. An image of the original Kardex is provided in the gallery along with maintenance invoices and drivetrain case stampings. The most recent service was completed in August 2021 and included new fuel and oil filters, valve cover and exhaust gaskets, an oil sump gasket, oil feed lines, and more.

This sale will include the original owner’s manuals, a clean title, and a collection of documentation including a letter detailing the owner's impressive Navy career and military accolades during the second world war.
