- Complete restoration of an original car
- Italian delivery car
- Comes with books, tools, compressor, jack, and spare
This 911S was original delivered to its first owner in Italy in 1973. It would stay in that country until purchased by a US serviceman who was stationed there. He would bring the 911 home in the mid-80s, and it would follow him from base to base until he put the car in storage in the early '90s.
In 2000 it was purchased by the most recent owner, and beginning in 2001 he would begin a complete, bare steel restoration on the car. So meticulous was the work that it would take 12 years to reach its conclusion. The 911 was stripped down to its tub, and it was found to be accident free, and had its original floors and sills. Piece by piece all the component parts were restored, or where that wasn't possible they were replaced with NOS factory parts. The engine and transmission were rebuilt to stock specifications, and the suspension and brakes made as new.
Being an Italian delivery car this 911S has some unique details such as Italian market front parking lenses, a plastic fuel tank, no seatbelts, no headrests, and the absence of 4-way flashers.
Since arriving at Canepa the car has been fully evaluated and serviced. Given that it has covered only a few miles since its restoration we have made sure the car has been thoroughly shaken down and sorted out. Cosmetically the car has received a complete concours level detail, and all of the final restoration elements have been addressed. This is a magnificent example of an early 911S that is ready to win shows, or be driven to your heart's content.

John Draneas penned an article in the "Legal Files" section of SCM's January 2015 issue "The Frankenstein Mercedes-Benz 280SL". It's a scary piece with no happy ending. I always look forward to his column and this one didn't disappoint me although I felt the anguish of the poor fellow in the cross hairs.
His clever comment in this article regarding the selling dealer not allowing the buyer to have a PPI on the car is priceless.

Auction Description:
This first year 911S was completed on June 9th, 1967. A well-optioned example, the high-performance 'S' was fitted from new with a set of optional halogen fog lights, a Blaupunkt 'New York' radio, a loudspeaker, an antenna, and Dunlop 165/15 tires and was trimmed in Polo Red over black leatherette. Its first owner kept the car for nearly two decades before selling it to the second owner in 1986. Upon acquiring the car, its second owner spent a few summers driving and enjoying the 911 with his wife, but the birth of twins in 1989 relegated the 911 to a heated garage. When opportunities to take the car out arose, the desire to have the Porsche serviced held things up, exacerbated by the fact that the closest Porsche specialist was 100 miles away – alas, the sporting 911S spent the next two-plus decades off the road.
Showing fewer than 73,600 original miles, most recently the 911S's matching numbers two-liter flat six has been brought back to life and cleaned. Changed from red to white during the first owner's tenure and fitted with A-Programme 5.5" steel wheels in place of the original, skinny 4.5" Fuchs five spoke alloys, this short wheelbase 911 is ready for a thorough refurbishment and then driven 'as-is', or could lend itself to a full restoration should its next owner desire to embark down that path.
These early 911's are highly sought after these days, especially the top of the line, high-performance S model. Here is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a genuine, matching numbers 911S from the first year of series production for this hallowed model.
It looks like she might be hiding some surprises :eek:under her skirt...

'. . . 1967 Porsche 911S $225,000
One of my favorite cars! I bought this one two years ago had it done for myself. It’s mostly correct, with a couple of very small modifications to suit my taste and improve the drive quality.
This is a very early 911S, built in August of 1966. The serial numbers for the regular 911 and the 911S were consecutive and only the “S” at the end differentiates the two. That makes this the 597th 911 built for the 67 model year. So it would be a SUPER early S, probably within the first 250 ever built.
It was restored in the 80s and then kept in Virginia by the same owner up until I bought it two years ago. When done in the 80s, it was done well, but when we got it, we took it to another level. I had my paint guru give it a spectacular, like factory new, paint job and had my Porsche engine guru service it and tune it to perfection. This was a long term project, which we did slowly and methodically over an 18 month period. I was building this car for myself, not for resale.
You’ll see a basic list of what was done below. I’ve had early 911s from a 65 911 to 73 2.7RSs and I really wanted a super cool early S that I could drive. I’ve only had the oppostunity to put maybe 100 miles on it since it was completed and i’ve come to realize that I have too many cars and it’s time to make some tough choices and let some go. This might be the toughest one to put on the market, because it just brings such a big smile to my face everytime I get behind the wheel.
Early Short Wheel Base 911s have to be at the top of anyones “Greatest Cars of All Time” list. This one really deserves someone who wants to drive the pants off of it every weekend.

'. . . 180 hp, 2,195 cc SOHC air-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with Bosch mechanical fuel injection, five-speed manual transmission, independent front suspension with McPherson struts and torsion bars, independent rear suspension with trailing arms and torsion bars, and four-wheel vacuum-assisted ventilated disc brakes. Wheelbase: 89.5 in . . .Quote:

. . . This 911 S displays the steady improvement that Porsche imparted on its highest-performance sports car in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The wheelbase of the 911 had been extended by some 2.5 inches in 1969, providing better balance and handling, and with its engine output now increased to a potent 180 horsepower, thanks to larger valves and better breathing, a larger 225-millimeter clutch was required. Interior fittings were upgraded as well, with a new steering wheel lock and its instruments now mounted in rubber rings. Externally, new door handles of a safer design replaced the earlier pushbutton type, and the cars were delivered with full factory undercoating for the first time . . .
. . . Stopping power was provided by 11.1-inch ventilated front and 11.4-inch ventilated rear disc brakes, which proved more than enough for a 2,400-pound car. It was also capable of accelerating to 60 mph from a standstill in just over seven seconds and 100 mph in just 20 seconds, as well as reaching a top speed of 144 mph. Few cars of its day were capable of matching its exhilarating performance . . .
. . . 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 . . .
(Not mine)
Some 72s came with an Alu Decklid as well.

The sport seats were not on the COA so I didn't have a problem with his choice.

I like the car. A lot! However that dash is way off. Maybe it is just for photos. Maybe it is my computer. But for 285Gs, that dash looks bad. Puffy, huge defroster openings and the speaker grill holes were not done with a template.
Steve, thanks for pointing it out, you are right but indeed the photo brings it out more than it is for real.Quote:

Auction Description:
PROVENANCE
William McCune, Massachusetts (acquired new in April 1973)
Ted and Louise Theodores, Sudbury, Massachusetts (acquired from the above in February 1982)
Current Owner (acquired from the above in June 1983)
Having benefited from the attentive care and ownership of just three Porsche enthusiasts – all associated with the Polaroid Corporation – this very special 1973 Porsche 911 2.4 S coupe has spent its entire life to date in Massachusetts and has seen only fair-weather use in its current 32-year ownership. A special-order example, it remains unrestored and maintains its factory-specified Bahia Red (Code 13) paint and black leatherette interior, much of which is thought by the consignor to be original. Excellent options include a Blaupunkt radio, electric sunroof, full tinted glass, and leather Recaro sport seats. William McCune, a former Polaroid Corporation president, ordered and purchased this 911 S, and as was his custom, he took delivery at the Porsche factory in Stuttgart. He retained the Porsche until 1983, driving it only sparingly after 1979. The next titled owner was Louise Theodores, who in turn sold the 911 S to the consignor in June 1983 at 25,275 documented miles. At the time of cataloguing, less than 41,000 miles have been traveled.
Always fastidiously maintained and offered in exceptional, largely original condition, this 1973 Porsche 911 2.4 S remains unrestored and truly remarkable in presentation, most recently benefiting from maintenance by Stephen Duhamel of NWIB Enterprises in Hanover, Massachusetts. Accompanied by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the vehicle is complete with the original manuals and partial tool kit, along with a fascinating dossier containing prior title documents, past appraisal letters, ownership history, and a summary of the comprehensive mechanical work performed most recently. As offered, this very well-presented 1973 Porsche 911 S remains a truly outstanding example of the ultimate early 911 road car.
I think those are the most outstandingly patinated original sports seats I have ever seen. I would want to spend a long time getting better acquainted with those puppies!Quote:

It's a great moment in time, April 73, the car shows some interesting details if you believe it to be original. The fan strap, the shell sticker, the winged fuse cover fasteners. It would be very interesting to see if the aluminium vin plate and the fan housing sticker have 'AG' or 'KG'. The seats look leather and as such would have the matching 'D' shaped leather headrests as pictured. Bahia red is such a great underrated colour. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Edit. I see the seats are leather in the description.
Nice looking car, but what is with the tool kit? Also those door pockets look like reproduction to me.

Auction Description:
This Porsche 911 S was sold new in Italy. The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity notes it was fitted with air-conditioning, crash bar for the front condenser, radio delete, and obligatory warning triangle. Imported to the US later, it was stored for many years. The consignor purchased the 911S from the second owner in San Antonio, Texas, in June 2010. He then directed what he described as a kind restoration, which is fully documented in the accompanying file.
The car is refinished in its original Light Ivory color, with a glass-out repaint. It retains its original black leatherette interior, with new carpets, dash top, and headliner. New tires were fitted, and the car has its original spare, tools, and jack.
The work took place during a two-year period between 2012 and 2014. It was conducted without regard to expense, and accompanying documents total more than $31,000. The suspension was rebuilt, the engine and drivetrain were disassembled and renewed as necessary, and the consignor believes the mileage of 17,000 km is correct. The next owner of this classic 911 will enjoy the result of the sympathetic attention that Porsches bring out in true collectors.
Odd suspension setup, no pictures of the seats, this one appeared at auctions before.

Auction Description:
Impeccably restored and simply outstanding, this example from 1972 is one of only 1,750 higher-horsepower “S” models, and fewer still factory-equipped with a sunroof. A highly desirable example, it features an arresting Signal Yellow exterior finish with black interior and charcoal carpeting. In recent years, a prior owner invested $70,000 to elevate the 911 2.4 S to its current superb condition, with $30,000 spent on the engine and gearbox alone. Receipts documenting this investment are included with this sale; and just 4,000 miles have been traveled since the work was completed. It remains stock in specification and as originally delivered from the factory, aside from the addition of a set of factory RS steel rear-wheel flares installed for a sportier look, and the ability to fit larger rear wheels and tires as used on the Carrera RS. The 911 further benefits from an engine-out service, which included replacement of seals, and a thorough detailing was completed during the consignor’s ownership.
Clean and attractive from top to bottom with an impressively detailed and presented underside to match, this 911 2.4 S is an excellent, extremely well-dialed-in example with a tight feel. For those seeking an excellent early 911 2.4 S Coupe equipped with a rare factory sunroof, this particular example is equally ready for the show field or thrilling and fast open-road touring pleasure.

Auction Description:
Finished in the rarest and very period colour of Grey White (Weissgrau) with black interior this beautiful 911S has been restored to a very high standard. It was originally supplied new in Germany by Porsche dealer, Gottfried Schultz, where it remained until the 1990s when it was purchased by a Dutch collector. The restoration,at some stage, included the replacement of the engine case of the correct type 911 / 02, signifying a 1970/71 2.2S. It is also stamped ‘AT' which indicates it is a factory replacement and bears the engine no. 6302110 which is confirmed as the original matching engine number. The factory also confirms that it had the following options; limited slip differential, electric windows and tinted glass. It was imported into the UK in 2005 and has had only three owners since. The history file contains evidence of service work by various UK Porsche specialists and evidence of its earlier history.
One of Henk's spectacular cars on Pelican.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...-restored.html
I'm guessing that the signal yellow '72 S may be Danny McKenna's car. It's been on his showroom floor in Norwalk and on his dealer website forever, but may he's decided that an auction will reach more truly interested (and well-heeled) prospects.
Wrong headrests (probably wrong seats altogether) and what appears to be a three-bar engine grill. But what really drives me crazy is that they didnt paint the black in the engine compartment and rockers/wheelwells. So easy to do and makes the profile of the car look so much better...but cant invest the extra hour. :confused:
Of course it should still be worth well north of $200k, right?

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
- Very rare deep 6” Fuch alloys
- Porsche Certificate of Authenticity
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:

That's is very interesting what year did sport seats become the standard seat in a 911 S. I've owned two 73 S's and they both had sport seats that were not listed on COA. I also owned a very original 72 S years ago with sport seats. The two 69 S I've owned had the standard seats.

In the 1971 USA - North America Brochure, the 911S description (left column of the page below) only states unique 911S interior appointments as:
- leather covered steering wheel
- full carpeting and soundproofing
- special instrumentation
No mention of sport seats.

Brian,
I guess because it is not listed in the "accessories" section, you are inferring that they are standard equipment?
Excuse my lack of expertise, but isn't this form a sales receipt from the selling dealer? If so, I would guess it to be not too close to anything like a "build sheet". Even the CoA often lists the equipment inaccurately, and much of the CoA is lifted from the Kardex, which in reality is primarily a warranty record.
Well, more a case of 'what's a chassis number stamping worth. The estimated repair costs may be just a little optimistic… http://ww2.copart.com/us/Lot/3627124...hId=1848019839

Good thing that it is not yours. Looks like another case of the fire department showing up, realizing it's magnesium burning that they don't have the chemicals to put out and just watching it go up. That is one complete burn. For $80 at least you could say you own a '73 S.Quote:

Nah. The "Hollywood Cars" offerings have been well documented as "poor quality" with overly optimistic sales estimates.Quote:

Auction Description:
Chassis number 9110310110 is an excellent and correct matching numbers example of the sought after classic late 1960`s Porsche 911S.
In S speciation with the desired targa roof, this European version that was delivered new to Germany is still equipped with several important extras such as, air conditioning and tinted windows. The cars original specification is shown in its certificate of authenticity from Porsche, issued in March 2013.
Having needed only a partial restoration, which was carried out in 2014, the car now presents itself in excellent and largely original condition. Finished in black livery and matching original interior, this classic 911 S targa has all of the desired features a Porsche enthusiast will look for in a collectable Porsche and as such is highly desirable and not one to be missed.
Here's 2 911S's that were on ebay this past week. I'm surprised nobody posted the blue
metallic car with the red interior, from Japan. $220K buy it now price. Then the Asse Bros.
911S that appears to have sold for $179.9K. ???
Sold for $179.9K?
I doubt that. Especially since it is still listed on their website - for $169k.Quote:

How long takes this mostley before they are online via http://www.coys.co.uk/past-auctions.php
I don't understand this:
1970 Porsche 911 2.2S Coupe- Ex Marazzina Collezione - Lot 138 is sold for €106000,-
1969 Porsche 911 2.2S Targa - Lot 107 is sold for €120,200,-
Someone an explanation for this?
Looks like the auctioneer called the prices pretty well based on the posted estimates. Haven't looked closely, but the Targa has lots of non-originality about it...no door pocket, seat recliners etc for instance. I suspect the estimates reflect these factors.Quote:

There was so much wrong with the targa.... Fair beginning for restoration, but a light year from being excellent.
I still don't understand this.
I am purchasing a 67S. It was sold as all matching numbers by a long time private owner. However upon a more detailed review the transmission is non matching. All other panels, engine, etc match up.
The price was agreed to (verbally) as all matching numbers. It is a #3 car.
I have an opportunity to renegotiate with the new information about the transmission. He may say he still wants the same price.
My question is what price adjustment would be appropriate with this new information?
The better question...would you walk from the car over something you can only see when you're under the car? Choose wisely, grasshopper. Good luck with your purchase and post some pictures.
Good Thoughts Peter,
I plan on keeping it for a long time. But you never know when you might want to sell.
I'm paying 10k more then where I wanted to be but this was his lowest figure.
Glad its not the engine that is non match.
Dennis
You're creating a whole new category. "Number matching, except for the XXXX" or "the YYY". Set the price, include premium for number matching, then deduct for non-number matching.Quote:

That's a bit like "If nobody opens the engine lid, they can't see the motor number...
You can't drive dollar bills...
I agree 100% Brian,
It has left me with a bit of a quandary. I have been meeting with the seller for weeks and going over the cars needs. When he said numbers matching I confirmed the engine and other items sitting on pallets. I did not check the tranny yet. last night he emailed that the tranny "might not be matching numbers". I think he is an honest guy and has owned it for decades. I was at 100k, he wanted 120. We agreed on 110.

Is it a car, or a collection of parts on pallets (as you seem to describe it above)?
good point Robbe. I agree. If it becomes for sale because I pass I will convey that. It was really just a question about how much other experts would take off for a match engine car with a no match transmission.
If I had not been caught off guard by the revelation about the tranny I would have completed the transaction and happily posted pics with story of my new find.
I'll let is transpire one way or another before posting more.
thanks
Dennis
I completely agree but with the 915 cars which have run at Euro or lower ride heights the trans may still be there but the number will have long since been left in scrapings on the blacktop....so can we be sure it's the numbers matching?.... Tough questions (and here I am with a 69S with the right numbers on EVERYTHING including the wheels, speedo and tach and trans but no engine so what do I know? :rolleyes:Quote:

IMO the devalue of a non matching tranny is less than a non matching motor. You would be hard pressed to find any 67S -matching or non matching- for a better price than this. If you really do want a '67S, you should think twice before walking away from this one.Quote:

Auction Description:
*Matching numbers example
*Left-hand drive model sold new in France
*175 miles since full restoration
*Porsche Certificate of Authenticity
This left-hand drive 2.4-litre Porsche 911S was delivered new to Paris, France and remained in that country until 2014. The second owner had sold it in November 2009 to specialist Porsche restorer Special Auto in Paris, who carried out a 'last nut and bolt' restoration over the next few years. The car was then marketed for sale on behalf of Special Auto by classic Porsche dealer Automobilia in Reims, from whom the most recent (third) owner purchased it in June 2014. A copy of the French Carte Grise and documents showing each transfer of ownership are in the history file.
Upon arrival in the UK in June 2014, the car was inspected by the respected classic Porsche expert Peter Morgan, whose detailed report is on file together with a large collection of photographs. It was then delivered to Autofarm for a further inspection. Between Peter Morgan and Autofarm, all significant faults or deviations from authenticity were uncovered. Autofarm were immediately instructed to carry out whatever remedial work was necessary to ensure the car is to the correct original specification and fault-free (invoices detailing all of this work are in the history file). At the conclusion of the work at Autofarm in Autumn 2014, the underside was thoroughly protected against corrosion with clear Waxoyl, and the car professionally detailed inside and out. We are advised that the paintwork is flawless and machine-polished to perfection. The odometer was reset at time of restoration and currently displays a total of only 175 miles.
It should be noted that the accompanying Porsche Certificate of Authenticity states that the interior was originally black leatherette with standard seats, but it has now been upgraded to the more comfortable and attractive sport seats, freshly re-trimmed in black leather. This is the only deviation from the car's original specifications, highlights of which include Sepia Brown paintwork, electric windows, tinted glass, Koni shock absorbers and an 85-litre fuel tank. The Becker Europa radio has been fully restored, incorporating an auto-switching iPod connection, and the car also comes with a pair of through-grille driving lamps (with yellow lenses). New headlamps have recently been fitted to UK spec but the French-spec headlamps (almost new) also accompany the car.
Although there is relatively little paperwork relating to works carried out in France prior to the car being imported to the UK, this is more than made up for by Peter Morgan's very comprehensive inspection report and the further detailed inspection and paperwork from Autofarm, which between them document every aspect of the car, illustrated with photographs at all stages (see history file).
The fact that all significant faults found by Peter Morgan and subsequently by Autofarm have been corrected means that this car is a totally 'transparent' and worry-free proposition for the fortunate next owner. Offered with a V5C document and current MoT, 'NVV 73' now presents as a truly exceptional and beautifully restored example of the very desirable 2.4-litre Porsche 911S.
The car comes with its original 'green dot' Bilstein jack; a complete tool kit in original pouch (even including the original Pudenz spare fuse kit); two matching sets of original red and black keys; card stamped with chassis number and key code; original leather key pouch; original tyre compressor and space saver wheel in full working order; and a maroon wallet containing the owner's handbook (English version, original), Guarantee and Maintenance book and Technical Specifications booklet (1973 version).
Richard Hamilton is not a Pop art God. He is fairly high up but he is no where near Warhol or Lichtenstein. So I cannot imagine his ownership affecting the value of this car.Quote:

Classic Showcase Description:
This correct, original 1967 Porsche 911S Soft Window Targa is very rare and highly collectible. It has recently completed a fully documented, extensive, comprehensive restoration to a High End Show/Driver level by Classic Showcase. The restoration of this vehicle to a Show/Driver level included the following: Fully disassembled and documented the vehicle. Body stripped to bare metal and put on rotisserie, metal worked the body, fit all body parts and chrome, seal, primer, painted base coat, clear coat, color sand and buffed all body panels individually off the car to perfection. New rubber, seals, grommets and gaskets, all trim and brite work was replaced or re-plated. A new proper interior was fit and installed and included reupholstering the sport seats and restoring the original wood steering wheel. The engine and transmission was rebuilt, rebuilt carburetor, restored radiator, gas tank, new exhaust system was installed. All mechanical components were gone through and brought back to exact factory specifications. All electrical components were restored, serviced or replaced as needed. The original Blaupunkt AM/FM radio was restored and converted to digital. It has a new correct wire harness and a new correct windshield. The instruments were restored and re-silk screened. A DVD of the restoration will accompany the vehicle. This is a California car with its small pink slip This is truly one of the best Targas available in the world today and is ready for the discerning Porsche collector.
Targa top, targa for short, is a semi-convertible car body style with a removable roof section and a full width roll bar behind the seats. The rear window can be fixed or removable, making it a convertible-type vehicle. In 1967 the Targa (meaning "shield" in Italian) version was introduced as a "stop gap" model. The Targa had a stainless steel-clad roll bar, as Porsche had, at one point, thought that the NHTSA would outlaw fully open convertibles in the US, an important market for the 911. There were less than 500 of these vehicles manufactured from the factory, and even fewer still in existence today.
Sports Car Digest Comments from 2014 Amelia Island Auction:
Lot # 86 1967 Porsche 911S 2.0 Soft Window Targa; S/N 500190S; Engine # 962149; Red/Black vinyl; Black leatherette top; Estimate $200,000 – $250,000; Recent restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $177,500 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $195,250 – Blaupunkt multiband radio, Porsche wood rim steering wheel, polished spoke Fuchs wheels, fog lights, off-brand radial tires, tool kit, Porsche CofA, short-throw shifter (original included.) – First owned by rally driver John Buffum. Freshly restored by Classic Showcase. Uneven passenger door fit. Good paint, chrome and interior. Fresh, sharp engine compartment with a replacement 911S engine. – It’s easy to imagine John Buffum wailing through the woods of Vermont on a fine summer’s day preparing for the Monte Carlo Rally. The price this 911S brought is representative of its condition and presentation, with little if any extra for the Buffum history and a modest deduction for the replacement engine.
The reason no one want this car is that the shop who restored it found a burnt up wreck and put it back together into a car. They are Jag specialist so they had no idea what they were doing. The restoration is simply awful, the entire car would need to be done again.Quote:

http://www.coys.co.uk/images/items/large/6343-2.jpg
Auction Description:
The S boasted modifications typical of a higher-performance Porsche: these included a re-profiled cam, larger valves, better porting, loftier compression (9.8:1 vs. 9.0) and larger jets for the Weber carburettors (which were otherwise much like those given to the base 911 from early 1966).
The result was 30 more horsepower, totalling 180bhp; furthermore, the torque improved fractionally to 127 pound-feet, peaking fully at 1,000rpm higher.
Unlike other models, the S lacked a choke, but pumping the accelerator was usually enough for starting. On the other hand, merely blipping the throttle on the freer-breathing S would send the tacho needle zinging to its 7,300rpm redline. Porsche thus wisely fitted an ignition cut-out that interrupted spark to the plugs when it neared maximum revs, thus protecting the valve-train from overly enthusiastic drivers.
Naturally, the S also received chassis upgrades to match its extra power. These included a rear anti-roll bar (augmenting the one in front), Koni shocks, ventilated instead of solid-rotor disc brakes all-round and, soon to be a 911 hallmark, pretty five-spoke Fuchs alloy wheels that cut five pounds from the unsprung weight at each hub.
S gear ratios were evenly spaced except for the five-speed transmission's overdrive top, which was purposely very 'high'. It gave 100mph at 4,200rpm, hardly a strain for the free-revving flat-six. Pulling a max rpm in the lower gears allowed the model to net 0-60mph in eight seconds or less, running a standing quarter-mile of under 16 seconds at 90-plus mph. This stunning example wears its original colour of Light Ivory over a correct Black leatherette interior. According to the Certificate of Authenticity, this matching numbers example was built in July 1968.
This is a wonderful example of an early S; it looks, runs, drives, and stops as it should. The original 5 speed gearbox shifts smoothly, the 160 bhp engine pulls quickly to the redline with a thoroughbred race type quality sending tingles down your spine. The light, precise steering and nimble handling for which Porsche 911s are known originated here. Hard to believe that this is forty-seven years old; it must have been like piloting a fighter jet in its day.
There are so many original features on this example you do not see on European versions due to the general corrosion issues prevalent on any early 911.
Part of a large American collection, this rust free stunning car has received ongoing high quality maintenance over the years including engine and gearbox rebuilds within the last 20,000 miles.
It recently underwent a full service and checkover costing several thousand Dollars, which was carried out by renowned Porsche technicians in California. This car is supplied with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity along with a V5 document, history file, rare tool kit, spare wheel and handbooks. A fine example of a highly desirable motor car, and with values ever increasing, now is the time to buy one of Zuffenhausen's finest.
No affiliation. I like the Martini livery.

Auction description:
This beautifully prepared 911S offers a great opportunity to go historic racing. Built up from a very nice road car in the early 1990's for U.S. SCCA vintage competition it has enjoyed a very successful career since then. The previous owner, famed racer Monte Shelton, successfully raced Porsches in the 1960's and 70's and more recently has become a major sponsor of historic events as well as continuing to compete in his own cars. This car was particularly close to his heart and he raced it in many SCCA events and there are on file 2 vehicle / driver logbooks, one of them full of scrutineer's signatures recording Monte's extensive exploits with the car.
The bodyshell is immaculate, finished in white with Martini stripes. It features a full rollcage, a high back racing seat and racing seatbelts. The dashboard is dominated by a 10,000rpm rev. counter alongside the standard 911 oil pressure, temperarture and level gauges plus two supplementary gauges for fuel pressure and volts mounted below the dash. The rest of the interior has been stripped for competition with lightweight door panels fitted, Perspex quarterlights and rear side windows. An ATL fuel cell and fire extinguisher system are fitted.
The engine, rebuilt by renowned expert Dick Elverude only one race ago, displaces 1991cc and the correct factory mechanical Bosch fuel injection and produces an estimated 225bhp, more than enough to propel this relatively light car at impressive speeds.
The original 901 type gearbox has been uprated to the tougher 915 type, fitted with close ratio gears and steel synchro rings plus ZF limited slip differential. Suspension has been suitably upgraded and the car rides on factory Fuchs wheels.
It has had a most successful racing career over the years; witness the full SCCA logbooks recording competition success all over the USA and full of complimentary comments from scrutineers. The history file also includes the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity ( number PCNA2868 )and a recent article on Monte Shelton, the famous US racing driver and the car's last long term owner, still racing at the age of 80!

FOOTNOTES
When Richard Hamilton ordered this Porsche 911S he intended using it on the Continent, visiting his holiday home in the seaside town of Cadaques in the Basque country, north of Barcelona, as well as galleries around Europe, hence specifying it with the optional Lux Pack that included aluminium wheelarch trims, a full leather interior and electric windows. Unadorned by the spoilers or unsightly impact-absorbing bumpers that afflicted later models, the 2.4-litre 911 of 1972/73 is the last 911 retaining the purity of its original conception. Indeed, Hamilton thought that its shapely curves were a 'perfect' design that could not be improved upon in any way. He clearly treasured the Porsche and kept it until his sad passing in 2011.
The build was completed on 1st March 1973 (as confirmed by the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity). Only 56 2.4S coupés were delivered in 1973 via AFN Ltd to right-hand drive configuration, making them far rarer than the left-hand drive equivalent (there were nearly 3,000 of those built between 1972/3). It is believed only five or six examples were delivered in this unusual black-on-black colour scheme. A rare 'F-series' example (only 40 were built), very few good matching numbers examples remain today.
This car carries the registration 'RGO 6L', a number which will resonate with Porsche aficionados, placing it alongside a batch of historically important 911 models successfully campaigned by racing drivers such as Nick Faure. The car was delivered by AFN on 29th March 1973 to Richard Hamilton's London studio and home in Highgate. In December 1977, Richard moved to North End Farm, Henley-on-Thames. He used the Porsche regularly and enthusiastically through the 1970s and '80s (it had covered 75,000 miles by 1980!) commuting from his London studio to North End Farm and making numerous overseas trips to visit the galleries with whom he collaborated.
The car was serviced and maintained by AFN, followed by Maltin (the local main dealer), and later by Maltin's chief mechanic, Tony Wright, when he set up his own business in Oxfordshire. Tony recently commented: 'I worked on RGO 6L when I was at Maltin Car Concessionaires, the Porsche main dealer in Henley-on-Thames, in the late 70s early 80s. I remember it well. Mr Hamilton used to bring the car in with his gorgeous Collie dog sat in the passenger seat!'. He continued maintaining the car when it passed to Richard's son and confirmed carrying out a top-end engine rebuild less than 5,000 miles ago, replacing all essential parts as well as fitting a new fuel injection metering unit.
Prior to Richard Hamilton's personal invitation to judge at the Goodwood Festival of Speed Cartier Style et Luxe concours event in 2007, the car was serviced at marque specialists Autofarm, who also carried out additional maintenance together with leading experts such as Bob Watson, BS Motorsport and RS Pumps (the car boasts their very last rebuilt injection pump), as the accompanying extensive history file testifies. This documents the car's entire history and contains service bills, maintenance receipts, restoration invoices, all MoT certificates, etc, plus the original owner's manual, wallet, stamped Maintenance Record booklet, key-cards and Porsche's Certificate of Authenticity. The car also comes with its original tool roll and jack, both in excellent condition.
'RGO 6L' remained at North End Farm until it passed into the care of Richard Hamilton's son Rodney. Following Richard's sad passing on 13th September 2011, Rodney continued to drive the Porsche regularly. It remained in Rodney Hamilton's possession until the spring of 2013, at which time, despite still being in very good original condition, the car was entrusted to Clark & Carter, one of Europe's leading specialists, for a 'last nut and bolt' restoration with the primary aim of securing its future. Multiple concours award-winners specialising in Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Porsche, Clark & Carter embarked on a sympathetic, 'ground upwards' rebuild to concours standards, while at the same time retaining as much of the car's acquired patina as possible. The 911's history and provenance were deemed too important to simply make the car 'as new', and the result is an intoxicating blend of old and new, correct in every detail.
It remains in the stylish black-on-black colour scheme that first attracted Hamilton in the early 1970s. An extensive record of the two-year restoration accompanies the car together with a current MoT certificate and V5C registration document . . .'
Amazing/frightening pricing . . .
. . . then again, RHD cars seem to be the most expensive
Any Intel on the Gulf 67S Softie that only brought $130K at Mecum? Pictures showed several obviously wrong details..
I saw some pictures no one else saw of the underside of that car. Lots of incorrect rust repair. Still could be saved. It came from Argentina, so not always repaired by the right people. Not a bad price, I think I offered the owner close to that bid last year.Quote:
