911 2.7 S 1972 210HP - from the P Museum

[911T1971]

In tbe winter of 1971 wasn’t it still Porsche KG not yet AG? Maybe our German speakers can check but I suspect they have got it wrong in the caption?

for the records, many description text at the museum describing the cars have faults, i recall there was one saying « Porsche 911S , S stands for Sport »

I pointed it out to the guide saying that S stands for Super but neither he knew neither it was changed, saw it a year later still at the museum display.

The Porsche Museum posted 6 new pictures of 9113300013 on its Instagram account, and I notice that this car doesn't have "black anti-gravel" under it...

Was that an option? or was 0013 restored, and the layer wasn't put in order to make it look "nicer"? I always wondered why sometimes people don't put anti-gravel under the car once they restored it.





A few more pictures for those who don't have an Instagram account :

And it is Sportomatic!

And it must have the '72 oil tank ...

[Leirbag]

Yes, it has an oil door

This picture of 911300013 confirms that it had an oil door.

Those seat covers!

[frederik]

^^ Indeed!

Also '72 chrome front grilles. The shifter boot is '73, so a weird mismatch.

This is Porsche doing omakase.

It just goes to show you that these cars are such a great canvas you can make your own while sticking with factory parts.

The engine is a bit of a mystery as the serial is that of a stock 1973 2.4 911S, not that of a 911/83, nor for a Sportomatic. This suggests that during it's long stay with the factory the engine was rebuilt into the 2.7RS with provision for the Sporto.

I'd like to know that for certain, if only to confirm that a 925 can handle 2.7RS levels of power. My understanding is that it should.
