Auction Description:

This Porsche 911 S was sold new in Italy. The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity notes it was fitted with air-conditioning, crash bar for the front condenser, radio delete, and obligatory warning triangle. Imported to the US later, it was stored for many years. The consignor purchased the 911S from the second owner in San Antonio, Texas, in June 2010. He then directed what he described as a kind restoration, which is fully documented in the accompanying file.
The car is refinished in its original Light Ivory color, with a glass-out repaint. It retains its original black leatherette interior, with new carpets, dash top, and headliner. New tires were fitted, and the car has its original spare, tools, and jack.
The work took place during a two-year period between 2012 and 2014. It was conducted without regard to expense, and accompanying documents total more than $31,000. The suspension was rebuilt, the engine and drivetrain were disassembled and renewed as necessary, and the consignor believes the mileage of 17,000 km is correct. The next owner of this classic 911 will enjoy the result of the sympathetic attention that Porsches bring out in true collectors.
