As with the previous year, the 911 S remained at the top of the range and offered the enthusiastic driver the most rewarding behind-the-wheel experience. In total, Porsche completed less than 1,750 S models for 1970, of which 394 made their way to the US. The 2.2 S Coupe presented here is a lovely example of the early 911 and one of the few examples originally slated for US delivery. Finished in the distinctive color combination of Sepia Brown over Russet leatherette, this 911 left the Porsche factory with the S comfort package, an antenna with loudspeaker and noise suppression, in addition to tinted glass all around. According to the consignor, this 911 was stored in a private garage in North Carolina for almost 20 years before he seized the opportunity to acquire it. Complete but in need of restoration, the Porsche was entrusted to RennGruppe Motorsports of Lexington, a local marque specialist. The two-year, no-expense-spared restoration saw the 911 completely disassembled and stripped to bare metal before being prepared for paintwork and powder coating. During the process, the bodywork was found to be healthy and reportedly free of accident damage or significant corrosion issues. Thoughtfully refinished in its rare, as-delivered color scheme, the 911 has also benefitted from a rebuild of its correct type 901 gearbox and the original matching-numbers engine. The project was finished with new rubber, polished wheels, brakes, wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods, fasteners and shock absorbers. As would be expected of a freshly restored 911, this 2.2 S presents well in all respects and ought to be an ideal candidate for either show or tour. In addition to its fine appearance, this Porsche is offered with an owner?s manual, tool kit and Certificate of Authenticity. For the collector in search of a beautifully presented, matching-numbers 911 S, there is no need to look further than this superb 2.2 S Coupe . . .
