Where are all these 2.4 S now? Here are some stats.

73S, Italian delivery, Light Ivory, #538. Gled

A great project. Keep in mind that we won't be able to make any real conclusions. I've been through this with several marques - with much smaller numbers. My current favorite is the Scarabs. We know 3 cars were built. Four exist today. Each owner claiming to have an original. My Lola is one of about 25 and we only have about 10 registered.

The soft number is how many are missing. We can make a list of all the ones that currently exist but have no clue about what percentage that might be of the total. It's still good to do though. Te problem is that it takes decades to develop. Remember that Vern Lyle attempted to do this when he formed the Early 911 Registry. It would be interesting to go back and see how many of those cars still exist. I suspect not that many.

Porsche records are of very little help. If you've ever ordered a COA you already know that. What's really wild is that PONA will make "correction" to your COA if you request it. We could very well add a few S cars to the production total this way. Also think about the people that have requested new VIN plates for their 911 on this forum. As the prices continue to go up we're going to see a number of new S cars.

At the same time I applaud this effort. It's a lot of fun to do. At least for the first couple of years.

My 1972 911S #520 in Blue Metallic, photographed at Yosemite on the way back home from 2005 Treffen in Monterey. My wife, Andrea, rode 2000 miles as my passenger on that trip. :)
