Donald Lidikay of Alhambra, CA visited Trans Ocean Motor Co., Inc
in Pasadena, CA and saw the all-new 1967 Porsche 911S, he traded in
his 1965 Porsche 911 and a considerable amount of cash to buy the
S. Donald was a photographer for Union Pacific Railroad and a
fanatical Porsche man. He was known for organizing weekend drives
and road trips for likeminded Porsche people before it was even a
thing to do. In addition to the S, he owned a '57 Speedster and a
912. His care for this 911S is evident not only in its condition
today, but in the obsessive amount of servicing and record keeping
he devoted to this lovely car. From day one, he purchased spares to
keep on hand and regularly visited the dealership for minor
adjustments, servicing and I would bet, lots of conversation. In
1968 when the 15 x 5.5" wheels became available, he purchased five
and fitted them to the car. His efforts are very well documented in
a binder that is over 4 inches thick and contains more than 250
pages of receipts. His love and care of this 911S began on July 14,
1967 and this S remained in his ownership (and in good running
order) until his death in 1997.
Several years after his passing (2001), his widow sold it to his
best friend, another Porsche enthusiast, who didn't drive it much,
but liked having it in the garage as a memento.
In October 2018, the S was sold by the widow of the second owner
and was purchased by European Collectibles. After it was removed
from the garage where it had been for so many years, all mechanical
systems were gone through. The suspension, brakes and exhaust have
all been rebuilt or replaced as needed. A tune up and valve
adjustment were done and five new Pirelli CN36s have been
installed. Mr. Lidikay removed the original seats in the early
1970s and carefully stored them. He preferred a more modern Recaro
and we're glad he did because the originals are in excellent
condition and have been reinstalled. Amazingly, the Blaupunkt radio
is working too. The car is running and driving very well and is the
nicest original early 911 we have ever seen. Rarely does a car with
all original paint look so good.
