Im in the process of restoring a 70 911S and was doing some reading to find that the 150,000th 911 built was a S. Does anyone know what the VIN is on that particular car?

My guess is that it's not the kind of 'S' you think it is. More like a mid year S ('74-'77) when all 911's were S's.
I would agree with you but the car was produced in 1970 according to what I was reading
In 1970 Porsche built only around 50,000 911s at that point. The production table that I have lists totals for model (turbo,SC) so it is hard to pin point exactly but it looks like in 77 or 78. I will look for another table.
Best,

Porsche actually built a non-"S" in 1974; I owned one. The Carrera and a "Standard" "S" were also offered (same engine in the US) but you never see the latter of the two. The non-"S" was lethargic as hell with the added weight. 73-T CIS was a much better car.Originally posted by urenewal

The car you're refering to was the 150,000th Porsche produced. Not the 150,000th 911.Im in the process of restoring a 70 911S and was doing some reading to find that the 150,000th 911 built was a S. Does anyone know what the VIN is on that particular car?
The car was a 70'S Coupe bought by David Nurse a founding member of the Porsche Club of America.
There's a photo of him and his wife toasting with "Butzi" in front of the car in Michael Cottons book "The Porsche 911 and Derivatives including the 959".
I don't know the VIN.

I've always considered the glass to be half full...that is until I reached middle age and realized that it is actually half empty.

Thought you guys might like a visual update. Clark brought the 150,000th car to us for a corner balance and alignment, and some final fitment adjustments. In the words of Clark W. Griswold Sr. "It's a beaut, Clark!"

Bahia Red. The direct light iPhone picture doesn’t really do the color justice.
