This 1970 Porsche 911E Karmann Coupe was purchased new from Catron Porsche of Pomona, California, and remained under the care of its original owner up until 1992 while all maintenance was diligently recorded in an accompanying logbook. It is one of just 667 911E Coupes with bodywork by Karmann for the 1970 model year. The car was acquired by the current owner in 2009 who commenced a full restoration in its original color of Pastel Blue as well as a rebuild of the original fuel-injected 2.2-liter engine with upgraded 911S camshafts. It was also fitted with a pair of GTS Classics sport bucket seats and a set of restored “deep 6” Fuchs alloy wheels. Supported by an original Porsche maintenance booklet confirming a numbers-matching engine and transmission, this restored 1970 911E Coupe is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Ohio.
The 911E was situated in the middle of Porsche’s model range and shares its aluminum engine lid and bumpers with the premium 911S model along with anodized gold rear badging. This 1970 Karmann Coupe underwent a full restoration and was refinished in its rare factory color of Pastel Blue. The seller indicates that the restoration used only genuine Porsche replacement parts where necessary and some metal repair work was performed on the floor pans. The undercarriage was also treated with a protective coating. This 911E rides on a set of restored 15”x6” Fuchs alloy wheels dressed in Pirelli Cintuarto tires (2020). Additional images are provided in the gallery.
The black interior has been restored and fitted with a pair of upgraded GTS Classics sport bucket seats with houndstooth cloth centers as well as reproduction door pockets. Accessories include a leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel, aluminum door sills, pop-out rear quarter windows, 3-point seatbelts, a heater, and a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio. The seller indicates the VDO quartz clock and radio are currently inoperable, a small tear is present on the driver’s seat bottom, and the resorted original door panels show some signs of age. The original seats are also included in the sale.
Power comes from an air-cooled and fuel-injected 2.2-liter flat-six engine which was rebuilt during the restoration and upgraded with 911S camshafts. The rear wheels are driven by way of a 5-speed 911/01 manual transaxle. The seller notes the engine and transmission serial numbers are consistent with the car’s original dealer maintenance record and the original owner kept a logbook of all oil changes, repairs, and fuel fill-ups performed up until 1992.
This sale will include the original owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a spare tire, the original seats, a collection of service records, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: "This car has been meticulously maintained since it first left the dealership in 1969. Today, it has the same character that it did on the day it was sold new. This is a rare example in a stunning color. Whoever is lucky to become the third owner will possess a truly important piece of Porsche history.”

Results of leak down test have been posted in the photos, please note the technician was using 75 psi supply pressure. The results show near 0 leak down.
A lot of service done by P3 - I can attest they do great work!
GLWA, she's gorgeous!
To bring light to the timeline of ownership, the current owner bought the car in 2009 as a "barn find" from California. The car had plates registered from 1994 which is the last record from the original owner. The car was bought on Ebay and the seller claimed it had been sitting for 15 years in not running condition.
Quick update for everyone, leak down results will be posted soon. The work is currently being done at Midwestern Auto Group in Dublin, Ohio.
Quite a handsome piece of Porsche. history
Although not a big fan of the color, how can you not think the lines and condition of this car are incredible interior nicely done as well very very nice
And then the motor, classic 2.2 L with a few minor upgrades with a solid good looking Porsche. to own
Good luck all
@mesh the owner bought about a dozen cars within 15 years ago in hopes of being able to take care of and enjoy the entirety of the collection. Today, the owner does not have much time at all to enjoy these cars the way they should be enjoyed. Short answer: cut down to about four cars to properly enjoy.
Bid in the amount of $55,500
@fuscoporsche2 not sure how I missed all that! Thanks for answering. Lots to go through on the Lightroom link now! Thanks again and great listing! Out of curiosity, why are you selling?
@mesh Thank you for your bid, please see repair orders in photos for the replacement of the evaporator lines. The brake systems was rebuilt, please see photos of repair orders and also the lightroom link below that shows the new parts and the work being performed. Please see the photo of the original maintenance record handbook stamped and signed by the selling dealership with the engine code and vin matching. The MFI pump was rebuilt once in 2014, then again within the last year, please see records below. Thank you for your questions.
A few questions for the seller:
1. Were the evaporator lines replaced with the rebuild?
2. Was the braking system rebuilt?
3. With a new COA how do you know the engine/transmission are numbers matching?
4. Was the MFI rebuilt and if so who did it?
Thanks in advance!
Good luck to all bidders today!

Beautiful car. GLWTA
@kwatt6 Thank you, yes, he would be a nice addition to the sale, but unfortunately not.
Outstanding! Photo's documenting restoration, pretty much answers all questions. Except one....does the Chocolate Lab come with the car?
Bid in the amount of $50,550
Great pics. I could never part with this car if I had done all that work.
Please follow this link for the incredible photographic timeline of the restoration process.

Hello all, just a quick update for clarification. The beginning of the restoration started in 2012 with disassembly by Bob Gorman, then paint and body work was performed by Steve Kernac. Once the bodywork and paint were finished, it was taken to P3 Autokrafte for reassembly and engine rebuild. I also have a leak down and compression test scheduled from our local Porsche dealership for later today.
Bid in the amount of $50,300
@kwatt6 there has been multiple oil changes on an annual basis after the engine was finished. Obviously it is off record but the vehicle was started and ran periodically as anyone with this kind of expertise doing a restoration understands what happens when engines sit. We are down to the wire and won’t have enough time for a leak down test before the auction ends. Luckily this motor is as close to brand new as it can get and that won’t be necessary.
@fuscoporsche2 Thanks, I did read Autokraftes several comments. Mainly only 1000K driven since rebuild in 2009 not leaking or seeping oil which is great! The oil is nine years old and after a while if car is not ran and warmed up, then the lubrication does not take place, viscosity breaks down. Not much to do about milage, but age. No disrespect , I'm sure everything will work out.
@kwatt6 yes, the car is on under a thousand miles since the rebuild. Please see P3 Autokrafte’s comment below. It is also important to note this engine is not leaking or even seeping any oil. Some more information I found on the pistons, they were PN PS84-001
9.8:1 compression, mahle motorsport 911s pistons. The blocks also was align bored, shuffle-pinned the main bearings and oil bypass.
Hi, just to clarify. The seller states the engine has been completely rebuilt with upgraded S camshaft as well as the MFI fuel injection system rebuilt.
Is that correct.
Hi again...I'm new at this seeking info on car, moderator thinking rather negatively. Anyway my question, which I think is reasonable ,is this. Has the engine had any work done in the last 10 years? Leak down is pretty standard policy.thank you and again nice work. Respectfully submitted. thanks, much.
@roblee P3 Autokrafte out of Dayton, Ohio. It was a full restoration from bare metal.
Also, what did the restoration comprise of complete bare metal? Sympathetic restoration, partial restoration?
Did I miss this important fact? Who did the restoration?
@Kaikane40 I have a scanned copy of this repair order coming very soon.
Bid in the amount of $50,000
@P3Autokafte Thank you. Would it be possible to upload a copy of the work order? S-Pistons, S-Cams on an E? Or was it just S-Pistons while leaving in the E-Cams?
@Kaikane40 All Mechanical work was performed by us at P3 Autokrafte. MFI pump was rebuilt by Jerry Fairchild Industries.
If the engine and MFI pump were rebuilt, receipts to document who did the work and when is very important. Thank you.
@twickes40 The engine/car hasn't been driven to speak of since the work was completed. I would estimate the engine has less than 1000 miles on it. Our records indicate beginning the project in 2014 at 78,047 miles on the 5 digit odometer.
@fuscoporsche2 I love pastel blue. Such a classic color on this car. Was the engine rebuilt in 2009 with the restoration? If so, how many miles are on it? Do you have any receipts?
Bid in the amount of $40,000
What a sweet little 911. Some nice minor projects for a new owner to make it pristine or you could just buy and enjoy. Or a little of both. Hard stuff dealt with puts this in an interesting position.
@wpatters not a worry, there are many more. The page could not be loading correctly
Forgive me…below comments
Sorry if I am off. I am seeing 4 pictures and 2 short videos. Are there many more pictures somewhere? This could be total user error on my part.
@Kaikane40 thank you for your questions. It does have factory MFI and the pump has been rebuilt within the last year. The engine was rebuilt with S spec pistons as well. The door cards are original but have been wrapped in vinyl seemingly during original ownership before the restoration.
Hello @seller,
Beautiful pastel blue 911E. I have just a few questions.
1) I assume this E has the mechanical fuel injection system from Porsche (MFI). Do you know if the pump was rebuilt during the engine rebuild or?
2) I am double checking on the S- Cams. The cams were switched for S cams? Not S-Pistons? E-Cams are famous for low end torque and are part of the E appeal.
3) the door cards, they don’t appear to be original since they should be basketweave but? Maybe I am wrong? Were they swapped during the seat upgrade?
Thank you,
Bid in the amount of $35,000
@Damaho912 Thank you! I would have to agree
I would like to comment on the "small tear" on the drivers side seat in the write up. We are citing the factory seats that have the tear on the driver's side. To be clear, there are no tears or imperfections on the GTS Classic buckets.
@giapetto Thank you for your questions. I will follow shortly with many photos of the restoration progress that include all of the body work and paint work. I believe the sticker you are talking about in the door jam is not currently on the car but I do have photos of the original to follow.
This is just beyond gorgeous!
@fuscoporsche2 Hello! This is Tony from Vancouver, Canada. Nice looking car and thanks for the listing. First question for the moment: any chance of a photo of the serial number sticker on the drivers side B pillar? Also any comments on paint and/or body work? Thanks in advance.
Bid in the amount of $10,000
Hello all, very happy to be posting this car on PCAR. I will be attentive and available during the auction, please do not hesitate to ask any questions. Thank you and good luck to everyone.
