This Porsche 911 is an original example that is equipped with an intriguing Sportomatic semi-automatic transmission. It was completed on January 9th of 1968 and shipped 20 days later to VW Pacific in Culver City, California. Its first registered owner was T.G. Tupman of Balboa Island.
The Sportomatic transmission was a $2,380 option. Also optional were the 911 S instrumentation and oil tank, full tinted glass (Catacolor), bumper horns, and a radio installation package. The car was painted Silver Metallic (96024B), a single-stage paint without clearcoat. It has a black leatherette interior. The original tires were Pirelli 165/15 radials on ventilated chromed steel wheels.
Upon delivery, the car was given an air conditioning system. Later, a Blaupunkt AM-FM radio was added.
Currently, the car has fewer than 23,000 miles from new.
IN 2000, Mr. Bob Hartwell of Napa, California, sold the car to Prescott Kelly of Weston, Connecticut. It later joined the Bob Ingram collection in North Carolina and was again acquired by Mr. Kelly. In 2015 it was sold to its current owner.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2017
