The example on offer here, Chassis # 9110301644, according to its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, was produced on August 1st, 1970 as a Silver Metallic (8080) over Black Leatherette example. The options recorded were US Equipment, Comfort Package, Blaupunkt Radio “Frankfurt”, and Tinted Glass. The engine number on the COA, 6302248, is also the same number stamped on the engine.

Unfortunately, exact early history is not known on this specific 911. What is known is that by 2004 the car received a comprehensive nut and bolt restoration by a marque expert as is evident by the quality and extent of the restoration. While no documentation is present, it is obvious through inspection that all of the little nuances that make a restoration great on one of these cars are present. Everything from the correct undercoating color, cadmium plated hardware and many little items that add up to exactness that only a professional could understand and portray in his craftsmanship. By 2006 the car was traded to Motor Classic and Competition Corp. in Connecticut where it stayed a short time before finding a new home with a long time collector in California. The car was under his care until late 2014. There, it was commonly stored and cared for by the experts at Fast Cars Ltd. along with TLG Porsche of North Hollywood, California. A few service receipts are present for regular service during this 10-year ownership. One of which is a $4,100 receipt for a reseal and fuel injection rebuild that took place in April of 2014 bringing the car totally up to date. Since the restoration, there has been approximately 2,000 miles of use and enjoyment, but not without being well kept.

Today, the car shows well and the restoration has held up nicely with only a few blemishes. Cosmetically it is straight down the sides with excellent panel fitment, the hood and doors fit exactly as they should with excellent gaps. The paint is smooth with a deep luster and matches everywhere never having been spotted or touched up since the restoration. The glass is all in excellent condition and the windshield is brand new. The rubber seals throughout are also newer and in excellent condition. The wheels are beautifully restored deep-six Fuchs, wrapped in supple rubber. One other nice feature fitted on the exterior is the correct accessory fog lamps. Upon entering the interior it is apparent that the quality of work is continued from the exterior. The carpet is the correct type and fitting well to the interior panels and very tight. The seats are nicely finished as are the seat mechanics and rails. The steering wheel is the correct and original one, and in excellent condition as well. The gauges are presented excellently and operating as they should.

There is no doubt that this is an opportunity for the serious collector looking to acquire a great 911 S. Complete with Jack, spare, some documentation, manual and Porsche COA.
