    FS @EC - '70 'S' Coupe

    '. . . In September of 1969 Porsche delivered the new 2.2L C-Series Model 911 for the 1970 model year. All three versions of the series, the 911T, 911E and 911S were available in either Coupe or Targa. The entry level model, the 911T was cranking out 125bhp, the 911E was more luxuriously equipped both inside and out with 155bhp and the flagship model, the 911S topped the boards with an impressive 180bhp.

    The front-strut mounting points in the C-Series models were moved slightly forward in order to lighten steering and reduce kickback for better handling. The steel engine covers on the E and S versions were replaced with aluminum to shave weight. The T version finally received ventilated disc brakes, but to keep costs down they were iron as opposed to the lighter alloy calipers used on the more expensive E and S. The only other significant change for 1970 was an anti-corrosion coating for the chassis.

    This 1970 911S is a beautiful example of Porsche’s grand touring sports car. Sporting a 2.4-liter “T” motor with 150 Horsepower, four wheel disc brakes and 5 speed 901 transmission, it drives like it should. Stunning original interior with original dash, steering wheel and front seats. Super straight 911S with exceptional paint, done to a very high standard. You’d be hard pressed to find a less expensive 1970 911S Coupe in this condition . . .

    Interesting situation (an 'S' without an 'S' engine):
    1. What is unique about an 'S' chassis without an 'S' engine? Meaning features that you could not purchase as an option on a '70 'T' or 'E'?
    2. What would be the value of this 911S if you could find the matching number 2.2L 'S' engine?
    3. What would be the value of this 911S if you put a non-matching number 2.2L 'S' engine?

    What needs more to be done, beside the change of the engine, to get this car original?

    Thanks in advanced.
