lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Super funny !!! Lol
Have seen this car in person. It needs a total restoration sooner vs later. Would make for a decent driver as is. Is it worth their asking. Yes, all the bits are there and increasing values justify the price.
I'm amazed how many 30,40,50,and 60K mileage early cars have been showing up in the last year...
Makes you wonder... where have they been for 40+ years? My guess would be back then, they were daily drivers, not to say a very small number sat for just weekend use only.
That's not many miles per year...just makes you wonder...

Sure…
I don't believe anything unless it's documented. It is easy to pass one off that's been restored or even "semi-restored" as having "original miles". The speedometers on the cars are just too easy to get out and make changes (especially the ones that come out the front!).
BTW: They used to call roll-back cheats "Pin-Hooks".
Mine is not one of those "low mileage wannabes" but I can verify the mileage is 127K and change.

Dealer Description:
- Completed November 14, 1966
- Weber 40 IDS carburetors
The 1967 911S cars were the first to have the extra horsepower, which was increased from 130HP to 160HP. This was a unique transition year for Porsche and as a result, one of the unique 911s was produced. The 1967 S had one of the lightest chassis as well as a 2.0-liter “S” engine derived directly from its race program. This combination produced a true sport purpose car.
This example is one of those 911S's that has always been cherished and enjoyed. The owner spared no expense having European Collectibles perform a restoration on this 911 in 2013 to 2014 including paint, chrome, refinishing the wheels, rebuilt transmission, rebuilt suspension and braking system, complete undercarriage detail and new interior! It is in perfect condition. The car is extremely dry and straight with no signs of any rust or misuse. The interior is in perfect condition with correct factory sport seats with houndstooth inserts! All the gauges including the clock are original and have been restored.
Options include gas heater, the Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, factory flat 4 1/2” Fuchs which were one year only sporting VREDESTEIN Sprint Classic 165 HR 15 tires. Wooden steering wheel with deluxe horn ring and seat belts.
The best part is the way this 911 S drives. It is pure Porsche. There is nothing like the way these short wheelbase with the short stroke early motors free rev. The 2.0-Liter runs perfectly. Shifting is precise and very smooth. It is one of the better feeling 901 style transmissions we've experienced. The steering is very light and responsive with no pulling or other alignment issues. The brakes have been completely rebuilt along with the suspension. This would be the ideal 911 for vintage touring events.
Complete with the original owner's manual, restoration receipts, Certificate of Authenticity, spare wheel/tire, and tools.

The sport seats look a little off for "correct factory sport seats". Yes, they should have called Eric.
