Originally purchased by Mr. Gene Dodd, this Polo red 1967 911S was his first Porsche. Unfortunately he is no longer with us, but I spoke extensively with his widow and son at the time I purchased the car. Apparently Gene bought this car and used it to get his SCCA license. He purchased and installed a roll bar and proceeded to use the car for gymkhanas, and other PCA and SCCA events. His son told me that in '69 he upgraded the wheels to deep sixes as soon as the dealership had a set in stock. In my research, I found the PCA ad he ran selling the original 4.5" Fuchs (read it and weep).
Sometime in 1969 according to his son Gene bought a 904 to race, and a second for a parts car (!). He then continued on an amateur racing career that I was only somewhat able to document, but have included below. Fast forward to a few years ago when I was able to buy the car. Make no mistake, it was and is rusty. It needed floors, rockers, front pan, and other metal work. Work came and went in fits and starts and then the car got pushed to the back. In the meantime and to keep my interest up during this dark period, we built the numbers matching motor up into a bit of a monster.
We limited the displacement to 2.3L so we didn't have to do anything irreversible to the case. Here's a brief list of the mods we did but keep in mind, I have the original pistons, cylinders, cam covers, distributor, and 40 Weber IDS carbs. With a little bit of additional sourcing you could easily return this motor to stock although you'd undo what turns out to be a remarkable engine. My intention was to keep the 67S power band, just enhance it a little more at the bottom and a LOT more up top so that the car felt relevant in modern traffic but still kept all the character of the car from whence it came.
2.3L Displacement
Twin Plug distributor
10.5 to 1 High compression pistons
46mm Weber Carbs
Pressure fed tensioners
Extensive case work
estimated 205hp
I'll add more to this list when I pull all the receipts together. Make no mistake about it, this was a VERY expensive motor when it was finished. The great thing about this motor is that it has spent the last 7,000(ish) miles in the back of my '67 hotrod and can be driven and demonstrated to a potential buyer. If it doesn't put an ear to ear grin on your face then you're dead from the neck down. It will be removed and palletized for the buyer and delivered with the car. All the sheet metal and glass comes with the car, and several boxes of odds and ends, but the buyer will be chasing assorted parts to build this car. I'm open to reasonable offers, but my asking price is $125k. Feel free to ask any questions or request any specific pictures or receipts. Email preferred: 1967SWB@gmail.com
