Auction Description:
- First year for the highly desirable 911S
- Numbers-matching engine and transaxle per its Kardex
- 2023 major engine-out service performed; Titled, track ready and completely street legal
- Successful participant in the 2023 Tejas Turismo - a three-day, 800-mile Texas Hill Country Rally
- The ultimate expression of one of the most desirable 911 models
Offered from the first year of the 911S, comes this 1967 Porsche 911S Coupe, which many, if not all Porsche aficionados will agree, is the most desirable and best driving variant. Documented by its Kardex, it retains its numbers-matching engine and transaxle, a rare combination to come across in today's age. An accomplished race car from 1996 to 2012, it has undergone a professional 'reversion' back to its 'period style' race form in 2023. Paying homage to one of the most historic racing liveries in existence, team Martini and Rossi, this street-legal race car was properly outfitted and upgraded with Sheridan Motorsports Amber engine shrouds, engine surround tin, fan block-offs, as well as rain shields to protect the engine. Also included in the upgrade were new engine and transaxle mounts, a restored and rebuilt transaxle by Bill Rader Motorsports, a rebuild of the carburetors, new spark plugs, wires, and retainers, new BILSTEIN shocks, Pilot bearings, a replacement fuel cell placed in the trunk, and many other items. To meet racing standards, this 911S has Hoosier Vintage Speedster tires and lug nuts.
The interior is presented with RS touring black leatherette/corduroy sport seats with Deist harness seatbelts and are flanked by frame rails. Other interior items include 911R ribbed floor mats and RS carpet set, 911R steering wheel assembly, horn kit, and a finely detailed dash.
A member of the Corinthian Vintage Auto Racing Club, this Porsche has partaken in multiple GT5s class races and is accompanied by a complete log book of all the races it participated in from 1996 to 2012. Within the last year, this example was the recipient of a complete engine-out servicing, which is documented by photos, and a participant of a dyno test to dial in the tune. Most recently, this 911S Coupe partook on the 2023 Tejas Turismo, a Texas Hill Country Rally, where its driver and current owner praised its performance, so much so, that he began to have second thoughts about selling this Porsche when recalling the event. This is a true testament to its performance and the enjoyment it brings to its owners. After the tour, it was dry ice blasted and thoroughly detailed, leaving it in spotless condition.
Robed in an iconic racing livery, and ready to be thoroughly enjoyed on the street or the track, this first-year, 1967 Porsche 911S Coupe is the ultimate driver's car with unsurpassed usability and eye appeal.

I participated in the noted 2023 Tejas Turismo and saw the car both static and dynamic. A drivers car with plenty of road wear chronicling its history.
