Time for an update:
Not much going on with the car, but some interesting developments down in Florida. :cool:
Thanks to this great community, we have now located the last US owner.

Radmund,
I sent an email, as well, regarding my visit with the previous owner, here in Florida, and while I won't get into all the details... I knocked on the door, stating I was a "Porsche guy who wants to help a friend establish some history on the 67S you owned.." She came to the door, with gun in hand, stating "Criminals drive Porsches too!" :eek:
She was very very nice, and gave me some history, confirming her ownership, which started around 1990 and lasted to 2003, when she sold it to a student at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach. She had received the car from her brother, although I get the impression he really didn't own it long. They purchased it from someone named "Abraham" although not sure if first or last name. She is going to dig to see if she has any photos or documents, which she will be happy to share. She really enjoyed the car, stating it was more reliable than many of her modern cars. We talked a bit about my 68S, and how she thinks all Porsches should have a manual gearbox, which I, of course, agreed. She said the car came with the flares, which she'd always wanted removed; however, knew the job was a big one, and she never got the chance to take it back to the original shape.
She also said she even repaired the car herself when needed, learning from a local independent Porsche mechanic by the name of Butch Stokes. She said he was the kind of guy who would explain everything going on with the car to her whenever she would go to his shop. She enjoyed driving it, often times taking it to St. Augustine, which is about 5 hours north of here. She was excited to hear about the car, and I promised her I would send some pictures. I will see if the "Father & Son" key has any meaning to her, or her family.
Hopefully this helps out piecing together the history! I know, first hand, how hard it is to get it all, as I am trying the same for my 68S.
