911 S 1967 and ...
A shameless plug for a well used little brethren. This 912 is very original as far as options go, though the TTG 118s were added a week after factory delivery by Porsche in Vienna. The H3 lights shown were originally H1s, now being restored by a noted member of this board. Little else changed during the 2007 restoration of the car, other than respray, mechanical tweaks, and set up. The pic with the dog is the car loaded for restoration. The last pic is at Greystone PCA 2012 Concours in Los Angeles, overall winner. No accidents or detectable rust, 143,000 miles when restored, now 13,000 miles more, all sublime. -Richard

beh911 - I respect the purer views of "original", though even after 45 years of ownership we all can't quite get there. These cars are meant to be used, which entails upkeep and improvement, at least if one wants to keep up with California Targa event drivers! And one must respect the contributions of the 912 to the success of the Porsche marque in the late 60s and subsequent longevity of the 911S. Always wanted one! -Richard

Richard,
My comment wasn't directed at you.
Very early in the thread i knew it was going to be interesting to see the variety of interpretations of "original" and that is holding true. I think it is one of the most overused descriptors for a car and therefore almost has no relevance anymore.
We have original cars with repaints, original cars with engine rebuilds, original cars with suspension mods, original cars with aftermarket wheels, original cars with fresh interiors, original paint cars with panels repainted, cars still owned by their original owners, etc. IMO, the word is starting to feel...dirty, in a used car salesman kinda way.
In the end, we all probably owe it to ourselves to just admit there is no original car left that meets the strict definition of the word.
Re: 912 or T vs S. condition would dictate my next purchase over model type. I love them all.
Re: meant to be used. I agree with you. I put more miles on my 44 year old 911 last year than my regular car. It is going to tick over 90k right around its 45th birthday in Feb.
