On July 25, 1966, capitalizing on the 911's sales success, the 911
S was introduced as a higher-performance variant for those who
wanted the ultimate 911 road car. Modifications raised horsepower
from 130 to 160 and the new engine now revved safely to a lofty
7,300 rpm. New Recaro sport seats were available, as were Fuchs
forged alloy wheels in a 15" x 4.5" size specific to the 1967 911
S. Revered by collectors and enthusiasts alike, these initial 911 S
models are among the purest expression of the 911's original
design, and as rewarding to own and drive as any 1960s sports
car.
A Superb Example Ideal for use in Porsche Club Events, Tours &
Rallies
According to its Porsche Kardex and Certificate of Authenticity,
307785S was completed on March 16, 1967 and delivered new through
Fa. Mahag Porsche in Munich, Germany on March 31st - outfitted in
Polo Red over Black Leatherette with Pepita Inserts and a host of
optional equipment. This included: Webasto Heater, Recaro Sport
Seats, Dunlop Tires, Sunvisor Mirror, Radio Set, Antenna and
Loudspeaker, Radio "Debugging Kit" (radio interference condenser),
Radio Installation, and Halogen Headlights. Mr. Fleck of
Langenfeld, Germany took original ownership. A copy of the original
Kardex also tracks several noted services up to 1968.
The 911S made its way to the U.S., where Gary Kempton of GK
Restorations in Crawfordville, Florida, later acquired the car
through an Alabama caretaker. In 1991, after a number of years
under Kemp's ownership, 307785S was sold to Jonathan Lee of
Atlanta, Georgia. Lee and Kempton would strike up a friendship, and
they agreed that Kempton would completely restore the 911S to
as-delivered specification. The fastidious work included the use of
many original and NOS parts. The car's original engine and
transaxle are retained and were completely rebuilt, as were all
ancillary components. The body was stripped and treated to a new
coat of Polo Red, and the interior was retrimmed with Pepita
inserts in the original sport seats. Due to periods of inactivity
and the budding career of Mr. Lee, the restoration process took 10
years to complete - which is chronicled by a detailed summary and
history letter at a cost of over $88,000. Further upkeep and
maintenance is recorded thereafter.
Since its completion in 2001, the 911 S has continued to receive
fastidious care, while being enjoyed as intended with a now nicely
mellowed, yet very presentable display. The exterior's paintwork is
glossy, with minor aging and flaws upon close inspection, while the
cabin's upholstery is nicely trimmed with excellent fit and
finishes. In addition to the European band Blaupunkt Frankfurt, and
Pepita clad Recaro Sport Seats, period style accessories include;
lap belts, rear leather luggage straps and Coco mats. All side and
rear glass is correct Sekurit etched, as well as the front Sigla
windshield.
Complementing the overall appearance, a period style stainless
steel roof rack is mounted with correct snow/water ski straps,
Michelin XWX tires on refinished Fuchs wheels, rear AMCO bumper bar
and 1968/69 Florida license plate. A matching spare wheel, tool kit
and jack accompany the 911's dossier of records, as well as rare
original books, including a 1967 911S Driver's Manual, Dealer
Brochure, Service Station booklet, Technical Specifications
booklet, Service / Warranty book, and all Blaupunkt
manuals/warranty cards/diagrams.
A January 2020 inspection and scheduled service included a general
tune-up, new OEM oil filter and fluids. The car performs
effortlessly and is an absolute thrill to drive and head-turner at
any gathering. Now available for worldwide purchase and delivery
from our Houston, Texas showroom.
