Some lovely photos of a great (and expensive!) looking car. Unfortunately the site won't let me copy them...

Don't know why not....

Special Factory Rally Options with Porsche Certificate of Authenticity
The first owner ordered this car with rally options from the factory with the intention of competing in Europe and the US. He never did. The car was delivered in Europe and after a short vacation the car was shipped back to the US. The car was then only used for Sunday drives and a drive to the office once in a while. The first owner sold the car in 2003 showing 99,500 miles, it has been in only three collectors hands ever since. This car is a numbers matching survivor and in excellent condition, ready for vintage racing, tours, or shows. This car is one of only 449 911Ls built in 1968.
Recently the car has undergone a mechanical restoration and inspection to insure that all systems are in proper running condition. The original patina of the body and interior was not touched. The trunk, undercarriage and suspension have been refinished. The original engine and transmission have been completely rebuilt and upgraded.

Clever sods!

So, if I’m reading that correctly it’s was supplied pretty much as a standard car but specified with an LSD, a roll bar, a tool bin and skid plates.
The remainder (large capacity petrol tank, 7” ‘R’ rear wheels, racing seats, racing belts, hood mounted rally lights and good spec engine are later (quite probably recent) additions. OK.

Nice car though.

That's correct. And don't forget the non-race history

Some time ago I saw some pics that Bob Tilton took when he was at Canepa with this car included (although not as shiny as these) which were so detailed and that as well as a restorer I was having work done with showed me pics from his trip - the attention to detail there seems very high - but as I was told back then Canepa cant / wont start a restoration for under $100k.

Likewise, I won't get out of or into a bed for less

but as I was told back then Canepa cant / wont start a restoration for under $100k.

Does anyone?

Some of the info on Bruce Canepa's site is inaccurate - for instance the car was not still owned by the original owner in 2003 ... I remember Don Ahearn buying it in 2001 from the 2nd owner. I'm pretty sure that it was Don that upgraded the (original) engine & added the seats, 7R wheels, 100 litre tank, etc.
