The 1968 Porsche 911 "L" was a one-year-only model built exclusively for the U.S. market to comply with stricter emissions and safety regulations. Limited to just 499 examples, the "L" (short for "Luxe") was essentially the European 911S but fitted with an air-pump-equipped 1,991-cc flat-six engine producing 130 hp and a top speed of 131 mph. It was the most expensive Porsche available in the U.S., priced $600 above previous models, and quickly became a collectible classic.

Easily recognizable by its small side-marker lights, the 911L featured luxury touches such as polished aluminum window frames, a black steering wheel, and brushed aluminum dash trim.

A rare matching-numbers example, chassis no. 11805220 was completed on February 13, 1968, in Polo Red (Code 6802) with a black leatherette interior. 57,066 miles original miles, fully documented from the original purchase date. Equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, it also featured a Blaupunkt radio, loudspeaker, antenna, driver and passenger headrests, tinted glass, and a ski/luggage rack(not pictured). Verified by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, this exceptional 911L stands as a testament to Porsche's blend of luxury, performance, and exclusivity.
