Can anyone tell me the significance of a 911 L? I'm going to look at what is supposedly one of them this weekend. thanks, Rod

Built for USA consumption in 1968. The "L" was fully equipped as an "S" of that year, other than being fitted with a regular 911 engine. The "S" engine in 1968 did not meet emission requirements, so Porsche decided to build a "luxury" model, and the "L" was born.

sounds like the birth of the 997

And I "believe" that there were more L's sold in the US than there were normals...in coupe and in Targa configuration. But some of the chassis number breakdowns get a bit hard to read at times (some of them list the normals as "S"s....I wish!

Speaking of which, what is the best chassis number/build numbers link anyone has?

One of the striking differences with the 911 L was the elephant hide look of the leather interior. It was very coarse, but functional.
