This 1972 Porsche 911S coupe was built in July 1971 and purchased
new by Apollo 7 astronaut Walter Cunningham, who took delivery on
October 21, 1971 at Northwood Porsche Audi in San Antonio, Texas.
The seller, a Porsche builder and restorer, acquired the car in
2006 as a personal vehicle and has since carried out a 14-year
cosmetic and mechanical restoration. Power is from a
numbers-matching flat-six that has been rebuilt to 2.7-liter RS
specifications. The 5-speed manual transaxle was optioned from the
factory with a limited-slip differential and has also been rebuilt.
Finished in its factory color combination of Silver Metallic over
black, the car features sport seats and an aluminum engine lid and
license panel seen only early in the model year. This 911S has been
driven five miles since the restoration was completed and is now
offered with documentation of the project, a maintenance book, a
Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, an extra set of wheels, a tool
kit, a refurbished jack, and a clean Oregon title in the seller's
name. This listing is live now, and only for 7 days, so take a look
