    Does anybody know of the history of this car?

    I bought a 1970 911S about a year ago. The original colour was Olive. It was sold new by PorscheAudi, 631 Washington Boulevard, Los Angeles (Culver City), pobably in July 1970. It was repainted to silver some time in the 80'ties. The original engine was rebuilt to 2,4 by Red Line Services Inc, in Santa Monica, but the receipt is not dated.

    The VIN is 9110301691, and the engine number is 6302285.

    I have knowledge of the following previous owners (I believe they owned the car in the years i list):

    1986 - 1989 Mark R Wagner US
    1989 - 1995 Watt W Webb US
    1995 - 1997 Richard Oppenheimer US
    1997 - 2003 Harald Berg UK/Norway
    2003 - 2003 Odd Heiberg Norway

    If anybody has information of the whereabouts of this car I would be happy to know.
    Best Regards

    Red line was a very reputable shop run by Pete Zimmerman. I can't remember exactly when he sold out (late 90's?) and moved to Bakersfield but if his shop did the motor its likely a decent job.

    How many miles on the motor since the rebuild? Is there at least a mileage record on the receipt?

    Sounds like a nice car. Do you plan to restore it to the original Olive color? A gorgeous color on a 911S. Sorry, can't help you with ownership, but check out this thread about a service offered by the state of California:
