1969 "911 S - B" What Is This?
Just curious as I have never seen a 911S chassis tag with a "B" behind the "911S". This is a 1969 European Targa in Blood Orange with a build date of 4/69.

In 1969, Porsche lenghtened the wheelbase of the 911 series. This car has the longer wheelbase dimensions, as opposed to the "short wheelbase" cars.

B-series
In 1969 the B-series offered a better solution to improve the 911's behaviour. The rear wheels were moved 57 mm backwards, changing the fore /aft weight distribution from 41.5 / 58.5 to 43 / 57. This meant the 911 became more stable. The larger wheel base can be recognised by the position of the torsion bar cap. The short wheel base cars have these caps directly next to wheel arch. The LWB models have some room betweem the arch and the cap.
