A couple years ago me and
my buddy Scott ran into the late Barry Williams at the early morning Donut Derelicts meeting in Huntington Beach. Barry brought out his ultra rare 1968 911T.... Here's some info which I found on the Early 911S Registry:
Only 20 total 1968 911T's were built by the Porsche factory for use in
FIA's new GT Group 3 category. From these 20 "Sport Purposes" vehicles,
only 9 were equipped with the "Sport Kit 2", or Rennversion options.
This vehicle is one of the nine originally produced and remains Cardex
matching.
Most of these cars were raced throughout Europe and acquired many wins
as well as National Rally and Hillclimb Championships. A very few of
these "Sport Purposes" 911s were imported in 1968 for SCCA Trans Am and B
Sedan Racing. These cars were sold as race cars and not intended for
the street although they were streetable. These cars were built after
the 911R and before the 911ST and are actually much more rare.
This particular car was sold new to Southern California's Dean Smith and
was campaigned mostly in local SCCA races from 1969 thru 1975. It led a
very pampered life, running only on nice, smooth race tracks on the
West Coast. Barry Williams purchased this car from Dean Smith's widow a
few years after Dean's death.
Between 2004 and 2007 it underwent a meticulous restoration by some of SoCal's finest to it's original "as delivered" condition.
