'. . . produced on July 21 1969 and was special ordered with the highly desirable black paint (code 6838) with a matching
black interior & tinted glass all around (as per Porsche COA).
This 911S has lived its entire life in Southern California… which is known for having the best examples of rust-free, well taken
care of, vintage Porsches in the world. It was a 3 owner car before its 2 year total restoration was begun in March of
2014. Its last owner retained ownership for over 30 years.
Starting with a solid Southern California rust-free 911S (that had been resprayed Porsche yellow in the mid 70’s) this 911
retained it’s yellow paint for the past 3 decades, until it was decided that the car would undergo a complete rotisserie
restoration starting in May of 2014.
The restoration started by thoroughly stripping the entire car down to bare steel on a rotisserie (see video). The body was
in phenomenal condition with zero rust (as you’d expect from a car that's spent it’s entire life in Southern California).
All appropriate parts needing powder-coating were sent off for a show-quality finish. Plating & anodizing were sent to the
same company that plates Singer's 911’s. The correct (’69 dated) shocks were sent to Koni North America for their 4
month restoration process. The entire brake system was sent to PMB in Utah, the premier 911S brake restorers,
and rebuilt better than new with correct anodizing/finish. Also new updated (better) pistons were added to the
calipers by PMB, making the stock brakes even better, while still maintaining their factory correct appearance.
Also ordered were a new master cylinder, brakes lines etc… Below is a much more detailed list of parts & restoration
steps that this 911S also underwent during its two and a half year restoration.
Starting the restoration, the engine was inspected & found to be in excellent condition. However, to match the full restoration
the car would soon be undergoing it was decided that the engines appearance would also be renewed & detailed to match the
rest of the car (along with any other necessary tuning it would required to end up as a flawless running 911S). The
MFI pump & throttle bodies were handed off to Arron at Burnham Enterprises in Camarillo, Ca. world renown for
rebuilding the fuel injection systems for the 911S’s. Fuel injectors were also tested at Burnham . . .'
