I just acquired a 1970 911S Targa after owning four 911Es over the years. Two coupes and two targas...I still own a '73 E Viper Green Euro Targa project car that will be up for sale soon. It's my first S and I'm really stoked! I guess I should change my ID to 911Enot4ME.

The engine is original, but the transmission is a 915. The 1970 models had the 901 with dogleg first, right? From what I know the Sportomatic was not available on the 911S due to the increased power. The previous owner said the car originally came with a Sportomatic, and when that went bad the 915 was swapped in. The decklid is original, and it doesn't have the "Sportomatic" script. The car is a very early '70 production (built 10/69 #115). Is the PO misinformed?
