I don't understand how owners can let auction houses flat out misrepresent their cars.

The car looks nice but why the awful hyperbole that just creates questions.

From the Bonham's ad copy:
*Desirable short wheel base, 911S Targa

*Factory-delivered with Ski Rack and many other options
*Matching numbers example presented in as-delivered livery , (except it grew some fog lights, lost the ski rack)

Auction Description:

*Delivered new to 1931 Mille Miglia-winner Wilhelm Sebastian
*Presented in the as-delivered Irish Green over Brown Pepita livery
*Eligible for many great driving events such as the Copperstate 1000
*Desirable first production year 911S
*Offered with Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and copy of Kardex

This first-year 911S was completed on September 29th, 1966, in the models second production month, and finally left the Zuffenhausen-based Porsche factory on October 3rd that same year. The high-performance 'S' was fitted with loudspeaker and antenna, shod on Dunlop 165/15 tires and was trimmed in '6606' Irish Green over a smart, brown Leatherette interior, with Pepita cloth inserts. All these facts are documented by the cars Porsche-issued Certificate of Authenticity, as well as on a copy of the original factory Kardex document, both of which are accompanying the sale of the car.

The new Irish Green 911S was built for its home-market, where the Mannheim-based Islinger Porsche agency delivered it to the first owner, ex racing driver, Mr. Wilhelm Sebastian of Weinheim, Germany. Sebastian had made a name for himself when he co-drove a Mercedes-Benz SSKL with Rudolf Caracciola to win the 1931 Mille Miglia road race. He was a factory Grand Prix driver for Auto Union in 1934, and later a mechanic for Tazio Nuvolari.

How long the Irish Green 911S remained Mr. Sebastian remains unknown, but the cars Kardex reflect that Islinger Porsche serviced the car up until November 1967. The Porsche eventually made its way to the US, where it is believed to have resided in California with one owner for a bout 25 years, before being purchased by the consignor, an Oklahoma based Porsche enthusiast. At some point, a sunroof was installed, this is not believed to have been in the car from new. The Porsche has received cosmetic and mechanical attention in recent years, and presents beautifully throughout, finished in the as-delivered Irish Green over a brown Leatherette interior with Pepita cloth inserts.

These early 911's are highly sought after these days, especially the top of the line, high-performance S model. Here is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a wonderful 911S from the first year of series production for this hallowed model.

Please note that this car is titled with chassis number 306058S.

Auction Description:

- One of only 442 A-Series 911 S Targas for 1968
- Matching numbers; desirable color combination
- Recently completed restoration by marque specialists
- Porsche Certificate of Authenticity

The European-delivery example was completed May 15, 1968, and finished in attractive Blutorang (Tangerine) with a black removable fabric top panel and black leatherette interior, set off with a brushed stainless steel roll-over hoop and gold-plated trim. The only factory option noted on its Certificate of Authenticity was a set of Dunlop 165-15 SP radial tires.

The Porsche eventually came into the ownership of the consignor, who commissioned an exacting bare-metal restoration, which would involve a veritable who’s who of Porsche experts and generate some $90,000 in receipts. The car was entrusted to Scott Klepinger Classic Cars in Elkhart, Indiana, where it was stripped to a bare shell. Every detachable component was rebuilt, repainted, re-plated, or replaced with OEM or correct replacement parts under the supervision of marque specialist James Schrager. The car was repainted its original color, and the interior was replaced with new seats, door cards, dashboard trim, and carpeting. There is a new windshield, new engine grille, and new Targa roof and zip-out rear window.

The two-liter Type 901/7 engine and Type 901 five-speed transmission were completely rebuilt by Marty Hostetler of Bristol, Indiana. The carburetors and distributor were rebuilt by PartsKlassik. A new flywheel, clutch, and starter were installed, along with a new wiring harness and electronic ignition. The brakes were overhauled with a new master cylinder, rotors, and stainless lines. Additionally, the suspension was rebuilt with new Koni struts and shocks, and new Michelin tires were mounted on 5.5-inch Fuchs alloy wheels.

Supplied with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, correct tool kit, jack, spare, and owner’s manuals, this beautifully restored 911 S Targa has it all—timeless design and brilliant performance. It is ready to provide its next owner with many miles of driving pleasure, as well as success on the concours field.
