The words hot rod and Porsche are rarely used in the same sentence, but in the case of this 1967 911S it may be completely appropriate. Built along the theme of the Porsche Sports Purposes Bulletin of 1967, the same framework that created the fire breathing 911R’s, this car is the ultimate 911S that could have been built in 1967.

The story begins with an original 911S short wheel base “A” serise sunroof coupe that had been in storage for about 35 years. Enter German Master Tech of Bend, Oregon. They begin a complete nut and bolt restoration in January of 2009 and, after months of hard work and meticulously research, finished in May of 2011. In that time Tim Morris and his team took the car down to it base components, rigorously restored every detail, and then assembled the 911S with great care. During the assembly every effort was made to use only original parts, period NOS parts, and 911R pieces. The end result can only be described as awesome.

The spiritual predecessor to this amazing 911S is the rarest of the 911’s, the 911R. Created by Ferdinand Piëch’s experimental department in 1967 by taking a 911S off the production line and then taking it to the extreme. With 210hp and an assiduously lightened body, the R was an uncompromising 911-based racer. This 911S takes that theme to the next level. Using parts that would have been available to any club racer in 1967 this car stands to be a truly ferocious competitor.

At the heart of the beast is a custom, high compression 911R race motor, built by Rothsport Motorsports. Using a period correct twin-plug 2.8 liter with RSR pistons and cylinders they have squeezed out a staggering 294hp. The power then flows through a 901/904 gear box with close ratio gear sets, a 904 mainshaft, an early limited slip, and then finally to the 911 specific, period correct Minilite racing wheels. This amazing drivetrain is fed by an original, early 911 endurance 100 litre (26.4 gallon) fuel tank that has a custom Fuel Safe bladder installed invisibly inside.

The interior of the 911S is as an impressive display of period engineering as the drivetrain. Inside you will find original Porsche fiberglass racing seats retrimmed by Autobahn Interiors in an eye-catching black and houndstooth. Behind the seats is a custom roll bar in the style of the 911R cage. Palo Alto Speedometer restored all of the gauges except for the very rare external temperature gauge that was installed new out of the box. Holding you into the seats are a stunning pair of reproduction Repa 4 point harnesses complete with 1967 Porsche stamping. The rear seat has been deleted and a period correct “Sport shelf” installed.

The details and upgrades of this restoration can be overwhelming to say the least. Every effort was made to make this a 1967 specific vehicle. NOS headlights and turn signals where used right out of their aging boxes. At a cost of over € 5000 a Marelli distributor, Beru coils, and electronic ignition were sourced from Switzerland. A Momo steering wheel with period adapter and horn button were installed. Even a period correct radio antenna delete plug was found and fit to the stunning Light Ivory bodywork.

Having covered only 548 miles since its restoration this 911S is in immaculate condition. The fit and finish are show quality. This stellar 911S is ready to show, race, or just put a smile on your face.

Wow! Drool...

Beautiful car. The ride height on the left rear is too high compared to the right rear. Even if the car was corner balanced for a 200lb driver it's still too high on that side.

Remind me to never let you anywhere near my car!

[ibmiked]

I'm obsessed with ride height lately.

[rowdy205]

I just spoke to Bruce Canepa.......a quarter million bucks for this one.
Definately replaceable for far far less than that.

If someone is willing to pay for it then that is what it's worth. Let's not forget the McQueen Le Mans driving suit for $1M.

OMG....$250,000.00.....that's alot of coin! I'm sure Bruce knows the market as well as anyone....but that seems high. Didn't John Audette's '67N recently sell for sub $100K....is the 'S' worth that much more?
