THIS CAR
The Porsche 911 is an undisputed motoring icon and one of the most successful sports cars of all time. While any 911 is inherently desirable, the earliest examples have become increasingly prized due to their purity of line, lively performance, and vintage character. Of the early short-wheelbase 911 models, the most collectible is the high-performance S variant, introduced for the 1967 model year. Boasting 160 bhp, lightweight Fuchs alloy wheels, ventilated disc brakes, revised gear ratios, and improved suspension, the original 911 S was one of the most capable – and sought-after – sports cars of its era.
The 1967 911 S presented here, chassis 306672S, was completed at the Porsche factory on November 7, 1966. Destined for North American delivery, this car was finished in Polo Red (6602) with black vinyl upholstery and equipped with Dunlop SP tires and a Webasto gasoline heater. Distributed through Porsche of America Corporation in Teaneck, New Jersey, the new 911 S was sold new through Porsche Cars of Manhattan Inc.
As documented by the original sales invoice and copy of the factory Kardex, this 911 S was first sold to Gerry Goldsmith, a resident of Bellerose, New York. His new car, which carried a sticker price of $7,343.50, was appropriately equipped for driving in New York City, with options such as a Blaupunkt radio, front and rear bumper guards, side-view mirror, three-point safety belts, and a dealer-installed Mark V air-conditioning system.
According to Mrs. Goldsmith, their young son had begged her husband to purchase the 911 S, and it came to be considered a member of their family. Remarkably, the car remained in their care for 48 years, during which time it was driven approximately 76,000 miles and always meticulously maintained. Finally, in 2015, the consignor, a New York-based collector with a passion for unrestored cars, was able to purchase the Porsche from its original owners.
In consignor’s care, the car has enjoyed minimal use and presents today in superb, unrestored condition. Not only does this car still retain its distinctive as-delivered features, the consignor reports that it wears most of its factory-applied Polo Red paint finish and still has its original KONI shock absorbers. Consistent with its exceptional condition, this car is accompanied by its original sales invoice and 911 S brochure from Porsche Cars of Manhattan Inc., as well as the tool kit, owner’s manual, service book, and Blaupunkt radio pamphlets.
This extraordinary first-year 911 S, with its fascinating history, desirable options, and two-owner provenance, is an exciting find that is sure to attract interest from Porsche enthusiasts the world over.

Auction Description:
* Superb restoration by Tim Scott
* Matching numbers and original 'Special Order' livery.
* Superb, marque-expert restored example of the desirable SWB 911S
* Matching numbers and presented in original factory 'Special Order' color scheme
* Class Winner at the Boca Raton Concours d'Elegance
* Extraordinary example of the classic long-hood 911S
The striking 911S offered here was completed on July 10th, 1969 at the Zuffenhausen Porsche factory. The new sports car was attractively finished in the special-order 'Metallic Dark Red' color over a black leatherette interior and was fitted with the sporting 'dog-leg' 5-speed manual transaxle. The top-of-the-line Sport model was optioned with tinted windows all around, antenna, and the rimes were shod with Michelin tires.
This beautiful example of Porsche's iconic short wheelbase 911S was purchased in 2007 in California by Mr. Martin Jackier of Longmont, Colorado. Soon after, he entrusted Rallye Coachworks of Englewood, Colorado to perform a comprehensive, bare metal repaint of the aging Porsche in the as-delivered 'Metallic Dark Red' exterior color. Reassembly of the 911S started in 2010, but shortly after, Mr. Jackier would decide to sell the car. The penultimate owner - a 30-plus year Porsche aficionado with many PCA Best in Show Awards to his name - purchased the car, as he recognized the desirable matching numbers, 911S model's potential and collectability. After his purchase, he consulted with some of Colorado's most experienced Porsche experts to complete the restoration in factory-correct, as-delivered fashion. Mr. Jim McMillan of Carquip in Boulder, Colorado was entrusted to rebuild the original matching-numbers 2.0-liter engine and 5-speed transaxle, and Mr. Dave Brown - also a Boulder, Colorado based specialist - retrimmed the cabin using only factory-correct materials and colors. Harvey Weidman's Wheels, a top name in Porsche roadwheel restoration, restored the iconic Fuchs alloy wheels, while the well-known instrument specialists at North Hollywood Speedometer refurbished all the instruments and gauges. Following the thorough and correct restoration of all the sub-assemblies, final assembly and sorting was handled by the Porsche experts at Storz Garage and Pat Moyle. The comprehensive and thorough restoration was completed in 2013. Offered from a prominent, Naples, Florida based Porsche collection, this spectacular 911S remains in excellent condition. Less than 600 miles has been recorded since the restoration was completed, and the car has remained in climate-controlled environments. A First in Class Award was given the stunning Porsche at the 2014 Boca Raton Concours d'Elegance, and surely more awards are due if a new owner is interested in showing the car competitively.
The 911S family of cars, from the original 2-liter version through to the 2.4 variant of 1973, represent some of the finest driving - genuine - sports cars of their day. For those who have thought about owning one of the best restored examples, this splendid, matching numbers and factory correct machine deserves serious consideration. Offered with the Porsche-issued Certificate of Authenticity, owner's manual, tool kit and jack, this striking 911S 2.0 Coupe is ready for spirited drives on challenging roads and participation in PCA events.
