FS: @Sotheby's --- '67 'S' Coupe . . .

[LongRanger]

VIN = 307557S
Eng# = 961297
Trans# = 104293

'. . . The exceptional 911 S offered here, chassis number 307557, was, according to its original Kardex (a copy of which is on file), built on February 9, 1967, and delivered on July 20 to the dealers Schmidt & Koch of Bremen, Germany. It was then sold to its original owner, Ralph Mosher, then stationed with the U.S. Army at Bremerhaven. According to research by the McCaw Collection, Mr. Mosher was a robotics engineer who, at the time that he acquired this 911, was developing the GE Walking Truck, a robot activated by human motion, in conjunction with the military. The Porsche returned to the U.S. with Mr. Mosher and was twice serviced at V.W. Pacific in 1967.

The car has been refinished in the original color, Sandbeige, and is still correctly optioned, as-original, with rubber bumper overriders front and rear, tinted windows, seatbelts to both front seats, Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio with one speaker, hazard lights, and, most importantly, the rare sliding Webasto metal sunroof. Its restoration is flawless and excellent in every possible regard, including engine bay, underside, interior, and exterior, all of which is jewelry-like in its quality and attention to detail; even the jack, spare, and tool kit are included. The original engine has turned 46,066 miles at the time of cataloguing . . .'

Est = $250k - $300k

"Attention to detail" is not making the dash look like a Botox patient. And the speaker perfs are terrible. A shame.



Thanks for sharing Rick.

Wouch! . . .

. . . and I just thought the wheels were 'off'

"Restoration is flawless" also means mix-n-match paint schemes on the Fuchs.

Why is it that sellers with the experience and the means to do it right are so cavalier about this stuff? Even a hack like me would know better than to make such claims.

Where are the original seats? Ya, the guy doing the speaker holes must have done it at beer thirty.

[66S]

Repro seats on wrong sliders were probably not on the option list.

Maybe I've looked at too many cars over the years, or I'm just getting grumpier with age, but the boastful descriptions that sellers write really are wearing on me. Makes a desirable car suddenly open for criticism.

The car may belong to someone here. I see an ESR key fob, nestled in the jewel-like, flawless interior. I hope they get their asking price.

Makes a desirable car suddenly open for criticism.

Isn't that the truth.

ESR key fob?

It will be interesting to see if the seller surfaces to defend himself.

[SKWIKY67]

Mix-n-match paint schemes on the Fuchs likely due to the spare being a 4.5" and wheels on the car not.
