Vehicle Description
1967 Porsche 911 Delivered new on April 12, 1967 to Owen O'Meara of
Denver, Colorado, this short-wheelbase 911 Coupe has led an
interesting life. After being sold to an enthusiast in Coronado,
California, the car was repainted from its original Polo Red to an
unintended darker Cranberry. In 2001 it was acquired by its third
owner, a noted Bay-area auto journalist and SCCA racer, as a
retirement project. He stripped the interior and underside, made
some minor rust repairs, and transformed the 911 into a vintage
racer with a roll-bar, racing seat and harness, plastic door
windows, fire system, and a fuel cell, adding silver stripes and
rocker trim. In 2005 the 911 was sold to Steve Kupperman of
Sacramento. The original engine was tired, so it was fully
overhauled by a local dependent Porsche shop, which built the motor
to 911 S-specification. It tested out at a very strong 208 wheel
horsepower on a chassis dyno. The suspension was properly sorted,
and Mr. Kupperman would enter his car in numerous west coast
vintage events, including two PCA Rennsport Reunions at Laguna
Seca. The car was sold to me about seven years ago; it has been
driven infrequently since but not raced. This car, with all
original and undamaged panels, has always been registered for
street use. The car received major attention a year ago, with a
full brake overhaul including caliper restoration, new rotors and
pads. There was also a valve adjustment, carburetor rebuild, new
fuel lines, a new fuel tank, new shocks, and fresh fluids. The new
tires are reported to have virtually no miles on them. Fuchs deep
sixes all around. The interior retains the factory S gauges,
including the clock. Sparco drivers seat and the original passenger
seat. Original wooden porsche shift know, documented in the COA.
Really cool 60's Indianapolis 3 spoke steering wheel. fire
supression system ect... HMSA logbooks accompany the car, along
with its original bill of sale, factory manuals, a dyno sheet. Also
extra parts.
