    Backyard Tent Find

    VIN: *307184S*
    Motor: 961040

    It's 435AM and I just did a 22 hours marathon drive to check out this 1967 911S. Information is limited and vague, but seems this S has been off the road for many years.

    Too many Porsches and one VW are starting to fill up my desert landscape.

    The good news is that the engine is probably original. Please try and get the build # next to the type #.

    Can't wait to hear the story after you buy it as to how you found it and its history.

    Wow. Nice find! Would love to hear the story. One of these days I'll discover a barn car.

    Good luck with the purchase.

    I think we need to live near more barns Edric!
    Excellent score Jim. Can't wait to hear the details. '67S barn-find is definitely a "grail" find for me. Looks nice and fairly original too. No Gemballa flares to cut off

    Looks like LWB rear wheel arches. That and the mirror makes me wonder what else was "updated."

    Bingo. Actually have never seen that particular A/C unit in 40+ years of Porsche fandom. Looks like someone has done some work on the floors...
