Your car has a heated rear window as an option, which I never heard of before on a 66/67 SWB. Must be very rare. I looked in the spare part catalogue and found it has an incorporated 'Schubschalter mit Kontrolleuchte' (a sliding switch with a control light) and an indicator lamp for the instruments.
Could you post a picture of how this look like and where the switch and control light in the instruments are located?

An interesting car in silver with blue interior and such rare options. Good luck with the sale!

Fritz,
Your car is beautiful.

This is killing me.
First Eade's Slate Grey, John A's friend's Bahama Yellow, your 67 and I am fairly confident that the one Eric is selling would be a nice one to own.
Just wish I was in the market.

The rear window is uncomon. Here is a picture of the rear window heater wires, they are so fine and hard to see I held a white paper bag below the glass for contrast. The switch is a push pull type that glows in the middle when on, it all works.

Thanks all for the positive comments.
I first saw this car when I went to my 7th grade freinds house in 1974, it was his dad's. It just sat in the car port, taken out once in a blue moon. My buddy got to drive it twice before he was 45 years old, once for his high school prom and the other time for ?? We thought what we would do with it if it was ours alot. Years later I ended up back in Tucson and started working on this car and his others, tune ups, etc. The car and dad were at the same old house and it was funny going back there. When I was offerd the car I was thrilled and it really was realizing a child hood dream. Not knowing, when I helped the old man move I helped him throw away alot of stuff, amongest other things I threw away the letters with porsche made by the old man on the history before him on the car, so , no, I do not know who the first owner is and it is my falt for not placing a value on it at the time, to me it was just a cool old car, the VW I always wanted. I did not want some one else trash. If only we could turn back the wheels of time.

As another owner of an Ivory White '67S (yes this '67S was originally silver) I know Fritz and his car. The car is very unique, in excellent condition, and as Fritz says...it is driven as these cars were meant to be. I'm sorry Fritz is selling it because it is a very neat car and he is one of us. I hope someone in our community will continue to enjoy and drive this special car...and I hope Fritz and his wife wife will continue to be a part of our group of very neat old 911 owners...

Fritz,
Sorry you are selling her. Great car, great story - good luck with the sale. Looks like it might go overseas. I love that blue interior. Making me drool thinking of it with a silver car.
