To correct above, there was not a ’68 model 901/09 engine. The engine choices for a ’68 911L were 901/06 (RoW standard transmission), 901/07 (RoW Sportomatic), 901/14 (USA standard transmission) and 901/17 (USA Sportomatic).

The “A” body cars are ’68 model year, the “B” body cars are ’69, '72-'73 are "E", the '73 RS is "F", etc. This is not to be confused with the later MY designation, for example a 1980 model is an "A" year and 1986 model is a "G" year.
