Howard Yefsky’s (second owner) history of VIN: 9112300697
“I purchased the 911S from the original owner, a retiring Physician (Dr. Homer Ericson) in Kokomo, Indiana, on August 10, 1988, almost 25 years ago. I first became aware of the car in February 1988, when I was the President of the Chicago Region of the Porsche Club of America. The car was advertised in Indiana Region club newsletter. However, February, 1988, Chicago had a record snowfall of about 18 inches. Kokomo was out of the travel question.
In May, I called to see if the car was still available. I spoke to Dr. Homer Ericson, the original owner of the car. He said that it was but he wanted to wait until the first of next year when he planned to retire before selling it. We agreed that I would stay in touch every month or so. In August, I called and asked if I could come and see the car and determine if it was the “right one”, and if so, give him a deposit to seal the deal. I called a friend and we made a road trip. One look and I knew. Offered to give him a deposit and then came the surprise. He asked if I would like to take the car that day. Made arrangement with my bank and the transaction was completed. Before leaving, Dr. Ericson said that he had two sons each of which wanted the car. The only solution to prevent a family war was to sell the car. TIMING IS EVERYTHING!!”
Dr. Homer Ericson is still a Porsche guy and drives a Boxster at 81 years old. He confirmed that he sold the car in 1988 with 40,000 miles. It was his daily driver for over eight years. Upon the purchase of a new car, he had the 911S repainted in its factory metallic silver. Otherwise, it’s an all original car and drives like a time warp.
Scott Ericson’s (Son of Dr. Homer Erikson) history of VIN: 9112300697
“I am Dr. Ericson’s son. spent my childhood in it and can tell you exactly how it was cared for and driven. (All good) wish I could afford to buy it back into the family. I can tell you detail on the refinish job.
I believe Dad went down to Indy and told the dealer he wanted an S, with a sunroof; and the sales manager told him he’d just got one for his wife. didn’t have another. They took her car away from her and the sales manager found her something else.
I rode to Indy with him many times to get the car serviced, and we would stop at Steak and Shake for lunch. There was no Steak and Shake in Kokomo.
The car was painted because the light shone in the garage only part of the day and the paint on the back of the car was starting to sun-fade a bit. It was taken apart to paint it and some rust was found on the front fenders. they were replaced with new Porsche fenders at great cost. I believe the sunroof was even removed for the paint work. It was shot in Westfield at the shop of a local street rod wizard. I can get his name. to this day, I’ve never seen better looking silver paint.
Dad religiously cleaned the engine with Shell or Gunk engine cleaner, and then washed it down. vivid memories of the smell. He was under the car now and then with VHT heat paint spritzing the heat exchangers because of concerns about rust.
Car was never in a collision. Never towed. Don’t think it even spent a night outside the garage. Was taken to IRP and run a couple times at PCA track days. I was crushed because I was too young to ride in it on the track. Dad once commented that he got it loaded up pretty good in a corner and the windshield squirters started to dribble from the g forces.
Only problem it ever had was a bad tach. which made the car miss-fire and run poorly. He either replaced it or had it reworked. Can’t remember. Fantastic car.”
If I'm not mistaken, Howard Yefsky posted on this board some time ago presenting the car and inquiring on price. Not surprised to see it on sale right now.
I've never seen silver #925, only silver #936 on a '72. Pretty car from pictures...

. . . My 72S is to be exhibited in the historic display at Parade in St Charles, IL. Had 4 NOS centercaps but lost one. Purchased one from Porsche vintage parts, but color does not match. New repros are a gray silver unlike the original white silver. Am told that the repros are a different metal.
Can anyone help. Need to purchase one NOS or pristine centercap with the three clips on the back. (Inside diameter=66mm) Will purchase a matched set of four if necessary . . .
thanks
