1969 Porsche 911E POV Drive - The Air Cooled Classic 2.0L Flat Six You Need To Hear (Binaural Audio)

This 1969 911E is a great example of why the 911 made such an impact on the sports car market in the early days even with a small displacement air cooled flat six. In '69 the E and S received MFI and both engines were mated to the 901 "Dogleg" manual gearbox. This car originally came with the Sportomatic, a two pedal manual, but like most it was converted to a 3 pedal manual.

My favourite is a 964 Turbo 3.6 in Amazone Green, followed by a 991.2 GT3 in Signal Green 😍

[@sterlingsilver320]

I love different models from all generations. But the '72 911 S with the oil filler on the rear fender is something special.

[@willismoody970]

I have had two 996 911 and a 986 boxster. They were all great cars, but the damn headlights always bothered me! With that said, the 987 boxster will some day be a forever car in the garage. The sound the handling (and the headlights lol) can't be beat.

[@byronspencer539]

The 70s 911s are my favorite. Specifically the RS and RSR racing variants. Of course clones are fine in fact because I love to drive so much a clone is preferred at this point.

[@moneyparhar]

[@Flakey86]

Storytime: well after WWII my grandmother and grandfather took European delivery of a 911E and did a grand tour. As a young child interested in cars, they told me how the factory engineer took them up to triple digit speeds and then slammed on the brakes to display the stability of the chassis. Then then how my grandmother collected speeding fines in many languages as they traveled around Germany, France, Italy, Turkey and England etc. Their car was red, with chrome accents and a rear luggage rack, which was always piled with suitcases and regularly driven flat out. Grandma (even well into her 90s) would reminisce about how fun this car was to drive, and how much it goaded her to behave badly. My grandma was a badass, and I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

[@TedwardDrives]

[@dieselscartalk4146]

[@berndklement4205]

Greetings from germany. I love your story

[@glennbaz2]

I worked for Porsche back in the day when the 911T, E, and S came out. They were ahead of their time I think. The mechanical fuel injection took an experienced Porsche mechanic to set up correctly. I did many of them and they all purred real nice when done. I'm not sure who you could find now to do that kind of work now. Those mechanical fuel injection pumps were very expensive and complicated. If I remember correctly they put out about 265 psi through mechanical injectors that would have to be pulled and bench tested with a special tool just to check even spray pattern.

[@TedwardDrives]

Wow! That must have been an incredible job. Luckily in New England we have a few shops that can do the work, but unless you live in LA or Boston it must be very difficult to find a solid Porsche shop to service these cars.

[@jehl1963]

I've got an old Chilton manual, and it describes in typical detail how to rebuild the engine, but when you get to the section on the MFI, there is basically a small paragraph that says "Here be dragons". Nowadays you can buy the factory manuals along with "Check, Measure, Adjust" which describe in detail how to tune and adjusts the system. There is also a ton of knowledge on forums like Pelican Parts. Also companies like Eurometrix and PMO can help with throttle bodies and hardware. Finally, having access to a dyno helps for the final set-up.

[@overbuiltlimited]

​@@TedwardDrives There are little Porsche shops that are very knowledgeable all over. I lived in Anchorage and there is a shop called Culmination Motor Sports there that specialises in classic Porsches. They even employ their own metal worker who can make any classic body panel or dash from scratch the old school way. Had mine redone by them. The owner Ralphy does complete restorations and does amazing work. You wouldn't think that Alaska could support a shop like that but they are always very busy.

[@nemrody7828]

​@@overbuiltlimitedmight be a long shot, but do you know any vintage Porsche shops in Western Europe? I want to get a 911 in the future, but I don't think it would be worth it without some proper shops in the area

[@overbuiltlimited]

@@nemrody7828 Sorry, I don't. Might try joining the local Porsche club and go to some meets before getting the car. The members will likely be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck!

My first Porsche was a 69 911E! Loved that car! So much fun and the handling made me feel like a God! Thanks so much for the memories :) !!!

[@johnrickenbach8055]

My Dad bought a '69 911E brand new when we lived in Germany. I was 6. It had all the German specs. I remember many trips on the Autobahn where he would tear it up, but other trips over the mountains through Bavaria, or along the Mosel valley on the backroad into Luxembourg and France. It was all about the sound, and how that thing handled through the curves. As a six-year old, it was a pretty exciting thing to watch that thing blast by trucks on the Autobahn doing 125...

[@oniondude6991]

I love that color so much, and I had no idea cars even had fuel injection in 69.

[@TedwardDrives]

C2 Corvettes had Fuel Injection i think in 1963! Kinda wild

[@lfox02]

Right? I was pretty surprised to find out mechanical fuel injection had been a thing for so many years.

[@bossplayerunit4563]

@@TedwardDrives idk about cars, but even as early as the 1930s, some aircraft had fuel injection, and it was standard fuel system for nearly all german military aircraft during ww2, while almost all of the other major powers were mostly using carburetors of some form, barring some exceptions

[@jehl1963]

II believe that the Mercedes 300 CSL was one of the first production cars with fuel injection -- a mechanical direct injection system no less. It came out maybe a year or so after the Corvette, but the system was in another league when it came to performance.

I owned two 911’s an ‘83 and ‘87. It was like sacrilege to suggest the 915 gearbox was better of the two. I am totally in agreement with your comments, I really enjoyed the 915 much more. Sadly both have been out of my life for a few years now. I still regret parting ways with them. Thanks for a delightful drive in that beautiful sounding ‘69 911E.

One of my best memories of driving was when I was driving my MR2 across country (the Netherlands, small country) and about halfway, I was met with this beautiful classic 911 driving in the same direction. White with a blue stripe down the side with white letters "Carrera". Not sure if it was an actual 70's Carrera RS, but I love to imagine it was. We kind of interchanged who was in the lead a couple of times while driving normal speeds with a few quick sprints. Like the driving style in your videos. Great fun!

Besides being their own unique design, being bespoke/ handmade gave each of these early air cooled 911s their own distinctive personalities.
