It is NOT an S. Just a normale 911 sporto. Check the chassis number.

Nice looking car though.

Correct...

11= Typ 911

8= Modell 68

0= S Coupe
1= L Coupe
2= T Coupe
3= Coupe
5= S Targa
6 = L Targa
7 = T Targa
8= Targa

fortlaufende Nummer 4-stellig,
falls beginnend mit "5", dann eine von Karmann prod. Karosserie

Thus,

11835218 = 1968 911 Normale (#218 built by Karmann)

I'm late to the party, but I looked it up last night, definitely not an S. But it does have the original V6 engine...

Oops, he edited out the V6 part.

Thanks Peter.

What is the best resource for Vin numbers eductation?
{Other than this board.}

Those front fenders seem to have a little flair to them or is it just lights and shadows?

I keep a copy of Zimmerman's "The Used 911 Story" by the keyboard. It has a great section on decoding the various versions of 911 VINs and engine numbers. (Schraeger's book might have similar info, not sure.)

Good eye!!

Those front flares are WAY bigger than the rears.

The fenders are '69 up, note the small horn grills.

NOTE TO SELF: Hodge-podge car...... cheesy resto!

That way you can run 7R fuchs up front and early deep 6's in the rear....helps with understeer!
