Welcome

The Early 911S...
The 911 has been in production since the mid-1960s. After reviewing all the magnificent Porsches produced during this 35-year run, we have singled out one model as the purest expression of the 911 concept the Early 911S. Made during a brief seven-year period (1967 through 1973), the early 911S is a no-compromise factory "hot rod." It is easily capable of breathtaking performance in both acceleration and handling, and it screams like a banshee at high revs - a sound unlike any other Porsche.

The light, lithe and powerful characteristics of the early 911S give it a direct, visceral connection with the road that can only be described as phenomenal. These qualities made our decision easy we regard the early 911S as the ultimate production 911. It is exactly what the factory had in mind before the concept was blurred by the smog-strangled engines and ever-increasing weight of later models.

Our group is an association of enthusiasts who pay homage to this remarkable machine. We attempt to fulfill two main functions: First, our quarterly newsletter ("The Esses") is an open forum designed to promote communication among members. It contains technical articles, editorials, questions and answers, columns by our Board of Advisors, personal "S" stories from our members and lots of other information. Second, the Early 911S Registry also compiles a list of as many of the early S's as possible, including serial numbers, original equipment, owners, modifications, etc. This data can be used by members to verify the chain of ownership through the years and provides an accurate record of what has and hasnít been done to the cars.

You do not need to own an early 911S to join!

Since most of the information we publish pertains to all early 911 Porsches, we welcome owners of any early 911, including the 911T, 911E, 911L and the rare 911R, 911S/T and 911RS. In fact, you don't even need to own a Porsche to be part of our group. All you need is an appreciation for the car and a desire to communicate with like-minded individuals. If this sounds like something you might enjoy, please contact us, or use the membership form.

We would love to add your name to the list of fans of the car we like to think of as . . . . . "the essence of Porsche, " the Early 911S!
