The short wheel base early 911S only had a short two-year
production run of 1967 and 1968. Most if not all collectors are
chasing the 1967 911S because of its first year of production and
also 1967 was the only year a short wheel base 911S was brought
into the US marketplace. In 1968, US emissions prevented the 911S
from coming into the country and we received the 1968 911L instead.
The 911L is a very special car and a club racing favorite, but it
is not a 911S. In the US the 68 911S is less common and rarer than
the 1967 version. This particular 911S is special because it was
brought to Southern California less than 2 years after it was sold
new in Germany. So, we have that special combination of a non US
1968 911S that spent its life in Southern California and Texas
instead of the harsh weather conditions of Europe. Toss in the
original German pflegepass booklet with stamps from 1969 and the
additional US Porsche service booklets with stamps dating back to
1970 at Dick Barbour Porsche/Audi in San Diego, CA and you can see
why this vehicle is a great example and an exceptional value
compared to the current pricing trends with the 1967 911S.
