'72 911S Targa
Message Board Co-Moderator - Early 911S Registry #100
. . . aka 'Ten Fifty-nine'
This is a 1970 911S, European version, currently showing 65K km (believed to be 165K km)
Original options fitted include electric windows, tinted glass, Blaupunkt Köln w/ factory-installed (r/h) power antenna, rear wiper (now removed), and a limited-slip differential
Car is stock and has been re-sprayed in 8383 metallic green, per CoA, as matched to original paint found on the car. Some panels have been replaced --- outer-rockers (Restoration Design bits, when I bought it), driver's front + rear quarters (factory pieces, early '70s?), front bumper (later steel S-type was replaced with the correct un-spoilered version at the re-spray), and engine cover and rear license panel (replaced with factory aluminum pieces, ditto). All of the paint- and body-work was done by John Esposito, here in Southern California
Original (beat) interior, including (cracked) dash, (crusty) carpets, and (mooshed) upholstery. Windshield and passenger side window replaced about 12-years ago; rest of the glass looks original
Original underneath, too . . . including undercoating, muffler and heat-exchangers (. . . sorry, just replaced the last items --- but I did put in OG/stock bits)
Wild pedigree. Factory-verified matching VIN, engine, transmission, and production numbers. Plus, the Kardex identifies this as a Dealer 100 vehicle --- 'factory use' . . . originally sold out of Porsche's own Versuch department (!) . . . to Jo Siffert (!!), one of the factory's 917 pilots
No one knew what this car was for over 40 years (!!!)
Here's an album with more details: http://www.early911sregistry.org/for....php?albumid=2
A good old car that I can still run for fun. Shiny on the outside. Nice and cozy on the inside. Prettier than I'm used to, but all her bones . . .
. . . un-jumped

Ladies/Gentlemen - After years of following this site and using it in guiding my restoration I thought it was time to share my car with you. Here is 911030744. A 1970 911S. It started life in Virginia and found it's way into Canada in 1988. In 1980 it was in a Panorama article of Personal Porsches. A copy of that magazine has followed that car since.
I bought the car in 2005 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It was a very original rust free car but had sat for 10 or so years as the prior owner suffered a stroke and did not want to sell the car. All of the prior owners kept records with the car so it's past was well documented. I toyed with the idea of leaving it original but it really needed to be refreshed and so undertook a complete restoration in 2006. I debated changing the color prior to the restoration process and everyone thought I should change it. After some hand wringing I kept the original color of Sepia Brown which I think looks outstanding.
The car now lives in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
