FS: 1967 Porsche 911S with sun-roof Rare 1st year 1 of 523 Silver / Black Restored

1967 Porsche 911S with sun-roof



Very Rare 1967 Porsche 911S with sun-roof in a stunning Silver with Black Leatherette Coupe with Fuchs Wheels for sell.



Restored



First Year, first-generation 911S

Weber-carbureted 2.0L/160 HP flat-6 that characterized the S model along with Koni front struts and rear shocks, ventilated disc brakes and polished Fuchs wheels wrapped in brand new tires. Original seats and interior. More recently, the Porsche has received full cosmetic and mechanical attention by Porsche professionals at Anaheim, CA, and included a major tune-up, overhaul and setup of the Weber carburetors and distributor. The body received a wet sanding and buffing, further enhancing the coupe's paint finish. New glass paint finished in 2018. Great features of the 911S include a 5-speed transmission, Weber carburetors, electric sunroof, driving lights, original radio, and a set of five matching Fuchs alloy wheels.





In 1966, Porsche introduced the more powerful 911S with Type 901/02 engine producing 160 PS (120 kW; 160 hp) in Europe Came to United States in 1967. Forged aluminum alloy wheels from Fuchs, with a 5-spoke design, were offered for the first time.



It wasn’t until 1966 that Porsche addressed the relative lack of performance with the 911S. Forged alloy pistons helped lift the power output to 160 hp (119 kW) which brought an incremental improvement to the performance, while Fuchs alloy wheel and vented disc brakes meant it could be taken straight out on the track.



The 911S was followed by faster models with more glorious competition records, so it was largely ignored by collectors for decades. But in the last few years, as prices for the iconic 2.7 Carrera RS have rocketed, collectors have come back around to it. And the one you see here is among the very best examples in the world.



In 1967 Porsche expanded the model range with the 911S. This really marked the beginning of the 911 as a genuine performance car, both on the street and the racetrack. This was also the first year for the Targa. 1968 marked the beginning of government influence on automobile design and emissions, such that Porsche was afraid the 1968 S might not meet emission standards and opted not to market it in the US. In retrospect it probably would have passed, but Porsche could not take the chance of having to ship large numbers of cars back to Germany. Porsche also brought out the Sportomatic transmission in 1968. The semi-automatic gearbox was an attempt to broaden the appeal of the car to those who didn’t like using a clutch.



Perfect for investment.

Interesting rivets on the vin plate

What about that steering wheel?

I will go out on a limb and speculate that the engine is not original to that car.

I'm usually not a nit-picker, but at $200,000, it would be nice if it had windshield wipers.

Living in Southern California, I've found that wipers are more often than not more of a pain than they are useful. I'd take the off my car as well if it were me.

It always tells me a lot when I see rivets like the used ones and instead the story about the particular car for sale I get a copy-paste refresh in 911 history...

more than rivets should be talking to you in that ID plate photo.

Used the same rivets on the door jamb plate, Yikes!

Amateur attempt at restoration with wrong motor, seats, steering wheel, radio and wheels. Doubtful will sell for anything remotely close to asking price!

Would make a decent driver for 120k.
Finding the original motor would be worth while.
Making everything "right" with the car would be a labour of love.

Sunroof felt is the hardest thing to get right, you need a pro to do it right.

Black is extremely rare on a 67S

As said, by someone else, I think its probably a good driver. The good thing with all of the photos on the ebay google link is that you can see what you are getting into.I wonder how much this car is worth in today's market.

Hard to tell from photos, but it appears drivers side lock post is LWB. What else is that new paint hiding?

Mistake posting here, you should have done some research on this forum first. Many of the foremost longhood experts in the world are here. And the style of your ad was condescending to a group who know far more than you do. I hope you have eventual success with your sale but you need to show more respect to the longhood community first.

This could become a bargain. The car is poorly represented but it’s not a POS.

Why are we saying this engine is not the original? Looks to be a 67S motor by the stamping.

Horrible rivets, but both vin plates look to be original.

-------------------------------------

thank god the calibrator was completely restored. those things are EXPENSIVE on a SWB.

It's also not the original engine nor transmission to the car. No wonder the seller never got a COA. "Original specs and options" should be taken with a grain of salt, it was taken out of color and had a red interior originally.

Caveat emptor.

A real shame it wasn't treated to a quality restoration, a factory black S with red interior and sunroof is seriously rare. The missing OG engine? Maybe the original is out there.
But so many other faults are inexcusable: color and interior choices... door latch panel as has been noted, iffy execution on other details. Missed the target by a mile.

Handled properly this car could be something special.

Can you link me to this information? I'm interested in the car, but would like to know where you guys are pulling the engine and trans numbers from and confirming them as not original to this car. Thanks!

Robbie, the cars and engines didn't come out of the factory with a 1:1 correlation in numbers but they have a rough ordering about them. This engine number is about 800 too high for that chassis number.

You have to pay up to get the registry list, I have an old list which has this car on it, no engine number listed against it, anybody know the owner from Corona?

andy

Thanks for the info, Andy. Bummer about the drivetrain, amongst a a few other things. I'll steer clear. Cool California RSK blue plate tho!

It's a Euro car, sold new to Belgium and stayed there for years. beware of the tin worm.

BaT Description:

This 1967 Porsche 911S was acquired by the seller in 2008, prior to which it had been owned by the seller’s father since 1996. Finished in silver over black, the car is powered by a 2.0-liter flat-six paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. A 2018 refurbishment included bodywork, a repaint, an engine rebuild, and replacement of the clutch and flywheel. Features include 15″ Fuchs wheels, a sunroof, VDO instrumentation, and an AM/FM radio. This 911S is now offered with refurbishment records and photos, spare parts, a tool roll, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

Finished from the factory in Black (6609), the car was repainted in its current shade of silver in 1999 and again in 2018, at which time rust repair was commissioned. Additional features include bright trim, a driver-side mirror, front vent windows, a sunroof, and a polished exhaust finisher.

Replacement 15″ Fuchs wheels are said to have been refinished in preparation for the sale and are mounted with 185/65 Continental ProContact TX tires showing 2021 date codes. A full-size Fuchs spare wheel and tire are housed in the front trunk. The rear suspension components were removed, inspected, and reassembled in March 2018.

The interior features front and rear seats trimmed in black vinyl that extends to the door panels, along with a matching dashboard and carpeting. Features include a replacement steering wheel, a push-button AM/FM radio, a lockable glovebox, sun visors, and courtesy lights. The seller notes that the carpeting has not been replaced. The replaced steering wheel shown in the gallery exhibits frayed leather and is included in the sale.

VDO instrumentation consists of an 8k-rpm tachometer, a 150-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 60k miles, approximately 3k of which have been added by the seller. True mileage is unknown.

The 2.0-liter flat-six was rated for 160 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque in the 1967 911S. The engine was rebuilt in March 2018 by Benton Performance of Anaheim, California, a process that consisted of repairing engine leaks as well as replacing the spark plugs, various gaskets and seals, clutch, flywheel, and muffler, along with performing a leak-down test and a valve adjustment. An invoice for the work is pictured in the gallery.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle that is said to have been serviced concurrent with the engine rebuild. Many of the accompanying underbody photos were taken in 2018.

Images documenting the 2018 refurbishment are presented in the gallery below.

Ah yes, circa 1973, I used to date a gal from Corona, CA. I was a young Naval Officer type back then stationed in Long Beach and driving a '64 E-Type Coupe (265 HP and 245 Lb-Ft TQ). That 3.8 L would suck the doors off any Porsche that got near it.
