The original, four-spoke steering wheel is present and in very good order and this is a factory radio-delete model.
With the power and torque increases, the 2.4-litre cars also got a newer, stronger transmission, identified by its Porsche type number 915. Derived from the transmission in thePorsche 908race car, the 915 did away with the 901 transmission’s “dog-leg” style first gear arrangement, opting for a traditional H shift pattern with first gear up to the left, second gear underneath first, etc. The E series had the unusual oil filler behind the right side door, with the dry sump oil tank relocated from behind the right rear wheel to the front of it in an attempt to move the center of gravity slightly forward for better handling. An extra oil filler/inspection flap was located on the rear wing, for this reason it became known as an Oil Klapper, Ãlklappe or Vierte Tür (fourth door).
Competitors to this Porsche in 1973 included Chevrolets Corvette, Excaliburs Series II SS Phaeton and Mercedes-Benzs 350SL.
This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 70,922 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!

About Porsche 911 Early LWB
The early Porsche 911 long wheelbase models, also known as the "L" models, were produced from 1968 to 1973. They were named so because of their longer wheelbase, which increased by 2.4 inches from the previous models. The longer wheelbase provided a smoother and more stable ride, and also allowed for more interior space.The long wheelbase models were powered by air-cooled, flat-six engines, with displacement ranging from 2.0L to 2.4L. They were available in coupe and Targa body styles, and were equipped with a five-speed manual transmission. Notable features of the long wheelbase 911s include their distinctive "ducktail" rear spoiler and Fuchs alloy wheels.
These early 911s are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts, pure as swb cars but easier to drive and handling better.
