The 911 E, introduced in 1969, represented a crucial step in the evolution of Porsche's iconic sports car. Positioned as the middle child between the entry-level T and the potent S, the 'E' designation, short for *Einspritzung* (German for "injection"), highlighted its advanced Bosch mechanical fuel injection system. This sophisticated setup boosted the 2.0-liter flat-six to 140 hp, offering a smoother power delivery and improved efficiency over the carbureted T, while maintaining a more compliant ride than the S. For the 1970 model year, the 911 E's engine was enlarged to 2.2 liters, bringing its output to a robust 155 hp and cementing its reputation as the most refined and balanced of the early long-hood 911s. This 1970 Porsche 911 E Coupe, chassis #471 of just 1,971 E models produced that year, presents a compelling opportunity. Finished in its correct, vibrant Tangerine (color code 23), this non-sunroof example has spent two decades in Southern California, a testament to its well-preserved nature. Power comes from the desirable 2.2-liter flat-six, paired with a rebuilt 5-speed 901 manual transmission, ensuring an engaging driving experience. Showing 18,234 miles on the odometer, this E has benefited from diligent maintenance, including updated oil-fed Carrera tensioners and a transmission overhaul. For the enthusiast seeking a distinctive and well-documented long-hood 911, this Tangerine E is ready for its next chapter.
