Car was originally a sporto. That's all I personally know about it. I've never even seen it. Perhaps Johnny Risvold can shed some light on it.
Looks like a nice enough car to me...
Happy New year
cheers

If it is the same car, Pristine says it is Gold Metallic and they're only asking $39k for it. It's tempting at that price.

The gold metallic targa is a VERY low mileage "T", not the same car.Originally Posted by 2POINT7

I don't think an "S" was ever available with a sporto. At least in the '69-'71 models years, the Porsche catalogs bragged about "only a 5-speed manual being available for an S."Originally Posted by Homemade 911

The "S" car there was a sporto and the owner converted it to a 5speed. The "T" was a Tucson car that was at Dunkles, the last year they had it.PM me if you are interested in the "T".

I stand corrected. But I wonder what would 'drive' the original owner to order an 'S' with a Sporto? Seems like profane abuse of a 911S.

Yep, sportomatics were available for the '68, '69, 72, and '73 911S. They were not offered for '70-71 and were rarely ordered for the reasons mentioned. The few that were ordered were likely by those who wanted "every option" and trick Porsche had to offer, and the Sportomatic was pretty high-tech back then. Almost like people ordering 911 Turbos today with the paddle shifters. I wouldn't want one, but some people do/did.
Some people do like sportos, like me. Nothing wrong with a sporto S.Originally Posted by DOUGS73E
I've never driven a Sporto, but I understand you shift gears (four speed?) like a manual but no clutch. So you still let off the throttle between shifts?
I understand the development was either acquired from or jointly developed with Volkswagon?
