One of only 14 known survivors (and one of the others is resting/rotting in a shed only a few miles from me, not for sale).

Auction Description:
- Offered from the estate of Donald C. Mann
- One of the most desirable early 911 models
- Documented by its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity
- Original matching-numbers engine
- Long-term maintenance by Porsche specialists
The 911 S offered here is a 1971 model, which means that it is equipped with the aluminum rear deck lid that is unique to this year’s model. It is now finished in its original color combination of Bahia Red with black upholstery, and it is desirably optioned with Recaro Sport seats and a period-correct Becker Europa II radio.
The car was formerly part of a well-known private East Coast collection, and prior to Mr. Mann’s acquisition, it had reportedly received mechanical attention to its transaxle, mechanical fuel injection, and other systems, while also being sparingly driven and enjoyed. It is noted to still have its original engine, and it has been serviced prior to the sale by the noted firm of Pat Williams Racing.
This is the last great Porsche to be owned by a man who loved and knew well the pleasure of air-cooled 911s. At its sale, it will be accompanied by various service and restoration records, an owner’s manual, a tool kit, and its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity.

Auction Description:
*Immaculately restored Porsche
*Rare derivative with only 130 believed as imported to U.S.
*'S' specification trim
*One-year only model
As with so many collectible cars, the appeal, interest and value are related to a car's rarity, and sometimes over time fashions change. For the Porsche marque, it has long been the case that the rarer variants of models have held considerable intrigue. This has certainly been the case for the soft window cars and indeed also the 'L' model as offered here. These cars have both the benefit of a virtually open car and the luxurious appointments of the 'S' – what could be better? Most surprisingly is the fact that in the day only 130 were imported to the U.S. Therefore finding one is not easy, especially allowing for the few that wouldn't have survived.
This exceptional example has been totally restored to extremely high standards and is presented in one of the signature guises for this era of Signal Red, with a black top and black leather interior. Its well-appointed cabin benefits from the 'S' instrumentation and trim package and for today's driving enjoyment has the addition of a modern stereo system. Mechanically, its clutch and transmission have been rebuilt and the motor has the sensible addition of a chain tensioner upgrade. During its rebuild a new/old stock soft window was fitted, as were European style headlights.
Presented with records for the last two decades and reportedly 'on the button,' this is a very handsome, usable entry to the Porsche world.

Auction Description:
- 1 of 1492 produced
- Concours quality repaint in original Polo Red
- Original interior
- Rare rear window wiper
- Halogen ‘thru the grill’ floodlights
- Factory sport seats with headrests
- Blaupunkt “New Yorker” radio and antenna

The first major overhaul of the 911 models took place in 1969. To improve handling the wheelbase was lengthened 2.4 inches to a total of 89.4 inches and twin 12 volt 35 amp batteries were mounted in each fender before the front wheels. The front and rear wheel openings were flared slightly to accommodate larger wheels and tyres. Most significantly was the introduction of Bosch Fuel Injection in the E and S models. The more powerful and dynamic S model also included an extra oil cooler to handle the increased horsepower of 170 hp @ 6800 rpms. Interior appointments introduced in the 1969 911 S model carried over through the 1973 model year.
This 1969 911 S Coupe is one of only 1,492 produced for worldwide sales by Porsche. This makes it more rare than at 1973 911 Carrera RS. According to the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity issued August 15, 2008 by Detlev von Platen, chassis 119300566 was produced by the factory with a completion date of January 08, 1969. It has had one concour quality repaint of the original Polo Red code nr. 6802. The interior remains original from the date of production. Factory options include the rare rear window wiper, Halogen “Thru the grill” Floodlights, factory sport seats, headrests, Blaupunkt “New Yorker” radio/ antenna and very rare deep 6 Fuch alloys.
This outstanding S spent its life on the west coast of the United States until 2004 when it became part of the Tyler Collection in Florida where it has remained since.
71S came with sport seats or was that a option to the car? I thought it was standard.Quote:
