1970 Porsche 911 E

Porsche 911E 1970 for sale
The Porsche 911 E, introduced in 1969, was part of Porsche's iconic 911 lineup and bridged the gap between the base model 911 T and the high-performance 911 S. Equipped with a 2.2-liter air-cooled flat-six engine, the 911 E offered 155 PS (153 hp) and utilized mechanical fuel injection, providing quicker acceleration compared to the 911 S despite its lower power output. Known for its smooth power delivery and balanced handling, the 911 E also benefited from the extended wheelbase introduced in the B series, which improved stability.

Exterior: This Porsche 911 E for sale has several unique exterior features that set it apart from the typical 911. It was ordered with chrome fender trim, mudflaps, front bumper horns, a roof rack, extra lights under the bumper, and best of all, body color-matched extra high beams. Together, these features give the 911 E a slightly rugged, rally-inspired look in a refined way. The paintwork on the car is in excellent condition, with little to remark on. No dents or scratches and of course free from corrosion. All other exterior elements, such as the chrome trim, bumpers, and wheels – are in great condition. The car also sits on new Michelin XWX tires, the ultimate choice for a classic car.

The half-vinyl, half-Manchester cloth seats are nearly perfect and very comfortable. The dashboard, often prone to cracking in these cars, is in great shape. All interior features function as they should. Another rare option found inside is the electric sunroof, which provides additional airflow on hot summer days. The trunk is also in good order, with new carpets installed.

Engine and Mechanics: Mechanically, this Porsche 911 E is in top shape. The 1970 911 E is equipped with a 2.2-liter, mechanically fuel-injected flat-six engine producing 153 horsepower. While it has less power than the S model of the same year, the 911 E was reputed to be the fastest-accelerating model in the lineup.
