1967 911s $440,000

[Wallis]

I heard of a slate grey 1967 911s asking $440,000. Freshly restored matching numbers. Anyone have any information on this car?

This isn't the car you mention, is it? Not slate grey, BUT it is exactly same asking price...

more big numbers and little info

I see that Heinz posted new photos of his 67, I wonder if it's a garage or a private residence?

bargain - I hear there maybe a super secret "Wrigley" family car in play for north of $1MM that is restored not original

I believe you're correct Eric. I remember Tim (Louie) posting recently that he was thinking of selling. Well executed restoration as I recall from the pics.

Should be interesting to see which 67S gets closest to the $440k asking price; Heinz's OG paint or Tim's restoration, with both, as I understand, being #s matching.

Tangerine for sure.
The restoration at anything approaching those prices should be insanely great.

Probably "Louie"'s car....

Not that car.

Hi Guys,

Nope, not mine.

It was our goal from day one to make this the best slate grey/ red 67S in the world.(go big or go home!) We are 98% there. I had the car independently judged/ inspected by what many would agree is the worlds leading expert on early 911s. He provided a short list of minor details that are being sorted now.

When we started this project we had the goal of winning any concours. I believe we will have accomplished that goal. For me (and my wife) the project itself was challenging and very rewarding. We worked with the best of the best for this project and their level of unwavering expertise makes this car what I believe to be one of the finest examples of a 1967s in the world. (of course I would say that!). I have never seen another restored (or original) slate grey/ red 1967S like this one for sale.

There are 3 Porsche magazines that want to do articles on this car.

Honestly, I am 50/50 as to sell or keep. Its been a long road and a true labor of love. With that said, if someone is seriously interested they can PM me.

I have a line on a 1973 RS that needs a total restoration...and a 1972 Ferrari Dino in boxes. Either would make a fun next hobby-project. (please don't PM asking for details on either of those cars. They are in private hands and I won't disclose their owners contact info to anyone)

Best,

Tim

Tim,

With all due respect, the commitment to creating the best restored cars in the world has changed dramatically.
The level of attention to detail necessary is such that very very very few restorers are now capable of it.

Have you seen the fanaticism necessary at Pebble?

For example, typical car I know of (non Porsche but it doesn't matter) has over 5,000 hours of restoration in it - and it started as a wonderful car. This took over two years.

I don't think that attention creates a more enjoyable experience, or should be done, but that's what's required now for top level events.

I have no doubt your car is a very nice one. But the standards to compete have changed dramatically.

I agree with the above statements by rower. We are putting the finishing touches on a Slate Grey 66 that goes to Palos Verdes later today. If these cars are only worth $150 to $250K then the owners have more in them then their current value. The detail to do well in the top level shows is very high indeed.
