1968 Porsche 911 L Targa
Classic Short Wheel Base Porsche
We recently found this car from its hiding place in Eastern Oregon. It had been sitting for many years. It was a
Special order Black (95043-L) car from the factory. Over its lifetime it was painted several colors, at least they
were good ones like Lime Green and Tangerine, and it’s current color Pearl.
1968 was a very unique year in Porsche history. It was the last of the SWB (Short Wheel Base) cars and was only
offered as two models in the United States, the Normal and L model. The Normal was the base model with 110 hp and
the L or “Lux” was the same as the European S model except with US emissions and 130hp, along with the S vented
brakes. The model designation also included the S trim interior package with the elephant skin pattern dash and
trim panels.
This car is an excellent restoration candidate because of the low production numbers of the L and Targa models.
This car has a 2.2 engine form a 71 in it according to the motor numbers. It does have a 5-speed 901 transmission.
It is a solid car, but will need everything gone through. We were able to start it up and get it running, but did
not drive the car as the motor was a bit noisy. The seats have been updated from a newer G series car. The alloy
Fuchs wheels are correct for its vintage. It also has correct Weber carburetors on it.
We have taken many detailed photos of the cars outside, inside and underneath. We do our best to represent the car
as it is.
We specialize in early Porsche 911’s and are happy to assist with any of your needs. We have several 911’s in
inventory or restoration.

Jay Leno plugs himself into Porsche's 918 Spyder
Mon, 24 Mar 2014As one of the greatest sports car manufacturers of all time, when Porsche puts out a new, ultra-exclusive hypercar, enthusiasts tend to stand up and take note. Jay Leno is no exception, and now, the funnyman is finally getting his time with awesome 918 Spyder.
With his 1963 Porsche 356 and his 2005 Carrera GT flanking a Liquid Silver 918, Leno takes us through the basics of this plug-in hybrid roadster alongside Daniel Eastman of Porsche North America. Following the chat, Leno and Eastman take the German-plated car through the streets of California, testing it in a number of modes and even going on a short, all-electric freeway cruise.
If you're looking to learn more about the 918, or to just here its glorious gas engine at work, you'll want to scroll down and take a look at the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage.
Porsche testing four-cylinder Boxster at the N?rburgring
Fri, 09 May 2014Porsche recently introduced a four-cylinder version of the new Macan for markets outside of North America, carrying Zuffenhausen's first four-pot since the 968 ended its production run the better part of two decades ago. But you can bet the compact crossover won't be the only Porsche to get the four banger before all's said and done. These spy shots, we're told, are evidence of just that.
Spotted undergoing testing at the Nürburgring (where else), this modified Boxster, our spy photographers tell us, sounds more like a four-cylinder engine than the flat six that's powered (in displacements ranging from 2.5 liters to 3.4) every version of the little roadster since its introduction in 1996, the year after the last four-cylinder Porsche ended production.
The test mule is also wearing modified wheel arches and aerodynamic aids under the bumpers, front and rear. Just what they're doing there we're not sure, but we'll probably find out sooner or later.
Porsche offering short-term loans to Macan waitlisters
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Walk into a Porsche dealer today, place an order for a Macan and you'll be looking at a waiting period of six months or more before you can expect delivery. That may be common enough for high-end European automakers, but the Macan is meant to lure new buyers to the brand, and the waitlist could be enough to deter them from sticking around.
The solution? Offer to lease them a Boxster or Cayman until their new Macan arrives. Shorter in term that the usual new-car lease, these six-month terms are designed to keep buyers from turning their backs, all the while experiencing the kind of vehicle Porsche does best.
Of course it doesn't hurt that the dealer then gets a used sports car to sell again once the short-term lease is up. And we wouldn't be surprised to see some buyers asking to hold on to their mid-engined sports car for a little longer, either.
