Stunning car and quality especially the panel fit is outstanding and really rare of course, exept front latch panel poor welding in a highly visible area (pic 22) and steel wheel spare.

Looks like it was. Their ad copy states:

With our signature Road Scholars restoration, we are pleased to announce that the results speak for themselves: Porsche selected our 911S for their 50th anniversary display at the Pebble Beach Concours De Elegance.

This car is in the Early S Registry registry database.

1967 911S “Soft Window” Targa, 1 of 1 with Special Paint in Canary Yellow
VIN: 500369S
49,949 Miles

This very special 911S was restored in 2009 by German Master Tech in Bend, Oregon for one of their clients to a “driver” level condition. We purchased this car earlier this year and decided because of its rarity, it deserved one of our Road Scholars over the top restorations.

The mechanicals had been very well done and the engine and transmission were excellent. The body had a few paint and fit issues.

As we disassembled the car, we started with the chassis. The underside was the wrong texture and tone of black. This would be fine for a driver – but – we don’t do drivers. We refinished the chassis and engine compartment in factory type texture and color and reinstalled the suspension while adding a few missing details. The correct Koni shocks and original horns were sourced and restored along with a few other key chassis items.

In the engine compartment we refinished the texture and color, then installed a dimpled sound deadening pad before placing the engine and transmission back in.

Once the bottom was done we turned our attention to the body. It needed a lot of attention. The car had some poor prep issues that were beginning to surface and the only way to overcome them was to strip the car. We went over the 911S panel by panel and refinished a lot of poor body work. There is a substantial difference between a $10,000 paint job and a $50,000 paint job. Our team spent hour after hour fitting and massaging the panels for a perfect fit; every gap, every surface. The end result is absolutely stunning.

The interior was well sorted and only needed the seats and dash redone and some minor tweaking.

Tom SWB tanks were grey unless they were 100 liters.

Looks Great, what are they asking?

Looks Great, what are they asking?

Short hand arithmetic:
$150K 2009 restoration
$50K Paint Job
$25K Misc
Acquisition cost $150K

Hmmm.. North of $400???

I was offered that car before they bought it,around $190k. Represented as fantastic so was surprised that more work had to be done on it. Far better quality though then the Bahamas yellow swb that was offered by a seller on here.

I didn't love the color though on this car.
