    Barn Find 1967 911S project

    Thanks to my good buddy Bob Marx I was able to find this car! It's not often that you get an opportunity like this so I had to jump on it. Bob and I picked the car up today, here is what I know about the car so far:

    The car needs a full restoration but it's all there and looks to be numbers matching (engine number is in range). I'll know for sure when I get the COA. So far I've pulled the knee bolster as well as the dash pad. The numbers on the lower dash are there as well as the grease pencil mark on top. The doors even have the last 3 digits plus an S stamped on them. Even the factory radio is still in the dash, I thought that was really cool! It looks like the original color is Bahama Yellow. This color has really grown on me lately, obviously it will go back to this color when I restore it. Another really cool thing is the car has what look to be factory steel ST flares! They will be removed and will either go on my '69 or be sold to help pay for the restoration. I took lots of pictures today, hope you guys enjoy them.

    Has anyone seen one of these plaques before? Did the factory do this sometimes when a car was special ordered? Anyone happen to know David Kesselman?

    Great find! I've nearly completed a similar find and restoration. Car looks like it might have some interesting history.
