Is a 1968 a short wheelbase car?
What year did the wheelbase change? I know it is 68 or 69?
I'm looking into buying a 68 911 as a second Porsche and would like to know. Thanks, Makaio 78 911 SC |

The '69 models were the first of the long wheelbase cars.

IMHO the SWB cars have an attraction all their own, being the earliest 911 variants; however, they do handle a little 'quirkier' than the LWB cars -- also, restoration parts can be harder to come by and much more expensive than the 69-73 LWB cars! Just a few points to contemplate. Good luck!

Hi,
There are a very few long wheelbase 1968 cars with the 2 liter engines. I khow of 1 such car, a 1968 2.0S, which did the Panama-Alaska rally about three years ago. They are very rare and deserve a special attention. GeorgeK |

George,
Was that car an updated version of the 68, or was it factory race prepared? It could either be a factory race prepped 68 911, or a late 68 with 69 parts. Either one, they should be very rare and relatively expensive. It reminds me of an article I read regarding the VW Passat, where two completely different cars are to be released as 2001 models. Two very different cars, same year, make and model. Clint |
