Built to replace Porsche’s 356, the 911 made its debut in 1963 at the Frankfurt Motor Show as a non-operational mockup. It was originally designated as the “Porsche 901” – of which 82 examples were eventually built. However, Peugeot protested on the grounds that in France it had exclusive rights to car names by three numbers with a zero in the middle. So, instead of selling the new model with another name in France, Porsche changed the name to 911. Internally, the cars’ part numbers carried on the prefix of 901 for years. Production began in September of 1964 with the first 911’s reaching American shores in February 1965 with a base price of approximately $6,500.

For 1967, the 911 was available in either coupe or a new targa body style configuration. A new model was also added to the Porsche lineup, the 911S, or Super, which offered more power and additional upgrades throughout the vehicle. Cars which left the factory with the ‘S’ package did so with Durant exterior mirrors, Fuchs alloy wheels, ventilated disc brakes, Koni shock absorbers, front and rear sway bars, leather-trimmed steering wheel as well as a basket-weave trim on lower section of the dashboard. This ‘S’ package bumped up the horsepower from 148 to 160. Surprisingly even with all the added features the 911S’ weighed less than the standard 911. The 1967 911S had a price tag of $6,990.

This 1967 Porsche 911S is said to be in original condition and is offered in the rather uncommon white with white interior color presentation. It’s powered by an air-cooled 2.0-liter, 160 horsepower flat six-cylinder engine which is paired to a five-speed manual transmission. With four-wheel disc brakes to ensure safe deceleration, this is the perfect car for long distance cruising. The interior is completed in white featuring bucket seats, green dial VDO instrumentation and a modern Kenwood AM/FM/CD unit. It is reported as a very nicely preserved car that has excellent interior, its original wheels and is forwarded as being a great driving car.

This 1967 911S exemplifies the craftsmanship Porsche puts forth in their vehicles. Sources state that Porsche produced 6,445 examples of the 911 in 1967 and of those only 1,823 were 911S coupes. The 911 is arguably one of the most iconic cars in the world and this car is an excellent opportunity to own a true time capsule.
