Auction Description:

The sporting 911S offered here is one of the final examples offered in the last production year for the desirable long-hood, small bumper 911. These cars are considered the last of the pure, original 911 design, and they benefit accordingly from all of the upgrades carried out over the nearly decade long model run prior.

Completed at the Zuffenhausen Porsche factory in the summer of 1973, this 911S Coupe was finished in light ivory, trimmed in black leatherette, and equipped for the US market. The car's optional equipment included option group G03, power windows and a Blaupunkt radio. While its early history remains unknown, the 911S is believed to have been part of an Iowa-based Porsche collection for decades before being purchased by the consignor more recently.

This matching numbers 911S, from the end of the final production year, has received refurbishments over the years, including a repaint in the original factory-delivered ivory color in the late 2000s. The 911S's mechanical components are believed to have been serviced and rebuilt around the same time. Fitted with charming houndstooth seats, Fuchs wheels and air conditioning, this fine Porsche 911S is a very usable and highly desirable collector's car. With an enticing power band, excellent road holding, and the pure, classic 911 look, the 2.4-liter cars are among the best to ever come out of Porsche's workshops.
