1969 Porsche 911

Notes

Merit Partners is pleased to present our newly acquired 1969 Porsche 911S for sale, finished in Light Ivory over a Black leather interior.If the Porsche 911 is defined by anything it is the constant improvements it has undergone throughout the decades. Porsche has tinkered with the original design for 35 years with the first major revision occurring for the 1969 model year.

Factory-fitted options included tinted glass all around, a Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio, and a manual antenna on the left side.
