The Porsche 911 is an undisputed motoring icon and one of the most successful sports cars of all time. While any 911 is inherently desirable, the earliest examples have become increasingly sought after due to their purity of line, lively performance, and vintage character. Of the early short-wheelbase 911 models, the most desirable is the high-performance S variant, introduced for the 1967 model year. With 160 hp, Fuchs alloy wheels, ventilated disc brakes, and improved suspension, the original 911 S was one of the most capable sports cars of its era.
According to a copy of the original Porsche Kardex, this 911 S – chassis 307975S – was completed in April 1967. Destined for delivery in Switzerland, this car was equipped with a long list of rare factory options, including a sunroof, rear window wiper, tinted glass, heated rear window, fog lamps, Blaupunkt Köln radio, passenger headrest, and Dunlop SP Tires. Generously equipped and finished in the attractive color scheme of Hellelfenbein (Light Ivory) with black vinyl upholstery, the new 911 S was sold through VW/Porsche Salzburg to Bernhard Blank of Zürich, Switzerland.
Well known among marque aficionados, Herr Blank was one of Porsche’s earliest patrons. In 1947, he loaned Rupprecht von Senger 50,000 Swiss francs to place orders with Ferdinand Porsche for the company’s first completed automobiles. In 1948, Herr Blank encouraged Porsche to hire Swiss coachbuilders Ernst and Fritz Beutler to develop their cabriolet model. Later that year, Herr Blank became the official Swiss distributor for Porsche and, in March 1949, he presented a Gmünd coupe and a Beutler cabriolet at the Geneva Motor Salon.
Evidently, this 911 remained in Europe until the mid-1980s, when it was sold to Michael Taradash of Riverside, Connecticut. As noted in documents in the car’s file, Porsche AG performed a mechanical overhaul and cosmetic restoration on the 911 between 1984 and 1986, refinishing the car in Irish Green with tan leather upholstery.
In August 1986, the Porsche was shipped from Germany to the US, and in December, Mr. Taradash sold the car to John Roe of New York City. When Mr. Roe purchased a new car in 1989, the Porsche was garaged in the Hamptons and retired from road use in the early 1990s. It has not run since.
Recently discovered after two decades of static storage, the Porsche is presented today as a remarkable garage find. Offered with its tool roll, jack, owner’s manual, and service books, the 911 is further accompanied by an impressive file of documentation.
This first-year 911 S, with its matching-numbers engine, fascinating connection to Bernhard Blank, and desirable factory options, is an exciting project that is sure to attract interest from Porsche enthusiasts the world over.
Can anyone read the VIN on the trunk plate?

Auction Description:
This 1970 Porsche 911S has been extensively restored, and is a beautiful example of Porsche’s famed grand touring sports car. It is reported to be driven by its original S engine and five-speed manual transmission; has been restored to its correct colors and is said to run and drive “like it should.” The black sports seats with houndstooth seat inserts provide a distinguished and beautiful contrast to the striking Burgundy paint. These seats are quite rare and valuable on their own merit. The 911S has been extensively documented during the course of its restoration and there are expansive records that measure nearly three-inches in thickness and are reported to go back more than 30 years in the cars past. The owner’s manual, tools and jack are present. The Porsche is “super-straight” and the work has been executed to a high level of quality that makes this machine very worthy of your inspection.
Among the equipment onboard this well-sorted Porsche are fold-down rear seats, Fuchs wheels, four-wheel disc brakes and modern Alpine radio with CD player. When new; the 2.2-litre 911s had a sticker in the rear window in the shape of a flat six-cylinder engine and had the number “2.2” on it. Amazingly, this sticker is seen on the car being offered. It also has a window sticker that commemorates the Porsche racing division winning three straight FIA World Sportscar Championships with their fearsome 917 and 908 prototypes. A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity also accompanies the 911.

A favorite color combo of mine, though a couple of odd details standout such as radio bezel, balance weights (on the outside of the wheels?). All easily fixable.

Auction Description:
The sporting 911S Targa offered here stems from the final production-year for the desirable long-hood, small bumper 911. These cars are by many considered the last of the pure 911 design, and they benefit accordingly from all of the upgrades carried out over the nearly decade long model run.
Completed at the Zuffenhausen Porsche factory in September of 1972, this 911S Targa was finished, much as it appears today, with the exterior done in Ivory white, and optioned with the desirable sport seats and a Blaupunkt radio. The new Porsche was equipped for the US market, and delivered to its first owner through the Jacksonville, Florida based agent, presumably Brumos Porsche.
By the early 1980s the 911 had migrated to the West Coast, where a Mr. Peter Vander Peol, Jr of Chino, California, owned it. Mr. Peol sold the Porsche to Los Angeles, California resident Ken Hughes in April 1982. Receipts found in the cars extensive history file suggests that legendary Porsche shop, Vasek Polak, rebuilt the engine at this time. Mr. Hughes appears to have relocated to Houston, Texas by the mid-1980s, while the car remained in his ownership.
By the early 2000s, the 911S Targa was owned by a Mr. Rueben Bienvenu of Louisiana, who later sold the car to Clay Huber of Woodford, VA. While in Mr. Huber's ownership, much cosmetic and mechanical restoration work was performed by Fairfax, Virginia based Auto Sportsystems Group, Fallbrook, California based Supertec Performance, and Mark Allin's Rare Drive of East Kingston, New Hampshire.
Today, this matching numbers 911S Targa, from the final production year of the 'classic' 911, shows beautifully inside and out. Finished in the as-delivered Ivory White color, and fitted with sport seats in period-correct 'Madras' tartan in brown colors, this Targa has the right look. Complete with a large history file, this smart Porsche is ready for its next caretaker. With an enticing power band, excellent road holding, and the pure, unmistakably look of the classic 911 Targa, the 2.4-liter S cars are among the best ever to come out of Porsche's workshops.

Auction Description:
This splendid 911S 2.4 liter Coupe is the 38th example completed in the 1973 model-year, or F-series as these end-of-the-fun 911's are often referred to as. Built on Porsche's legendary unitized body, this smart Coupe was fitted with an electric sunroof, competition-oriented M409 Sport Seats, complete instrumentation, rack-and-pinion steering, and forged alloy Fuchs 6x15-inch wheels from new, and was finished in striking Gemini Blue.
This 911S has received restoration and refurbishment work over the years, and is believed to retain its original floor panels and matching-numbers engine and transmission. Although the car has been repainted, it is still finished in Gemini Blue, and sports a stunning black leatherette interior, with the seats trimmed with attractive black-and-white hounds-tooth cloth inserts. With a dry weight of just over 2,500 pounds, lots of power, and disc brakes at all four corners, the 2.4 liter 911S delivers a great driving experience. Relatively few of these S Coupes were produced in 1973; just 1,430 cars total, and only 524 of those were designated for the U.S. market. Their relative scarcity and fully evolved specification of the 1965-73 911 production run means these models are always in demand by knowledgeable Porsche enthusiasts. Complete with tool kit, jack, owner's manual, and the Porsche-issued Certificate of Authenticity, this beautiful 2.4 liter 911S would be a great entry in local conocurs or high-speed rallies such as the Copperstate 1000. Displaying the pure 911 design; with nearly twice the power of the first iteration 911, one gets the best of both worlds with this enticing F-series 2.4 S.
