The seller offers for sale this 1968 Porsche 911 T, an early short wheelbase example representing the final and most refined year of the original 911 platform. This car is powered by a 2.0-liter six-cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual transmission. The odometer shows 83,000 miles and the mileage is not guaranteed. This is a matching-numbers example confirmed by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. The vehicle was delivered new to the United States and remained in California until 2012 before being acquired by the current owner. Since then it has been maintained with a focus on preservation rather than restoration, with specialist care provided by Tony Outridge and Zuffen 911. The history file includes invoices since 2012 as well as service records dating back to the 1960s, including the original sales invoice. The paintwork is finished in factory Sand Beige and presents well with minor chips on the front and wheels. The interior features black leatherette upholstery with a restored five-gauge instrument cluster, a period-correct Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio and factory-style Perlon carpeting. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly. The car occasionally shows a typical hot start characteristic, which can be resolved with adjustment of the starter or distributor.
The Porsche 911 was introduced in the mid-1960s and quickly became one of the most iconic sports cars in automotive history. Early models such as this 1968 example are especially valued for their lightweight construction, short wheelbase chassis and direct driving characteristics. The 911 T was positioned as a more accessible version within the range, offering the same distinctive design and driving experience with a slightly more comfort-oriented setup. The short wheelbase models are known for their agility and engaging driving dynamics, which made them popular among enthusiasts and racing drivers alike. Today these early 911 models are highly sought after by collectors for their purity, historical significance and unmistakable design.
