Recently restored over a two-year period by a marque specialist,
finished in a highly desirable factory color combination with the
matching driveline. According to the Porsche Kardex, this 911S
Coupe was delivered by the Kittner Group, one of the largest
automotive Porsche dealers in Germany at the time. The first owner
was Werner Araus, of Norderstedt, Germany. The 911S was originally
ordered in Bahama Yellow (6605) with Black leatherette upholstery
and was equipped with a Webasto gas heater, a Blaupunkt Frankfurt
AM/FM radio, an antenna, a loudspeaker, and Dunlop tires.
Over a 2-year period, a marque specialist performed a bare metal
restoration to concour condition. The 911 was completely
disassembled, and the body was stripped to bare metal. The body was
metal-finished and prepped for paint. The paintwork is impeccable,
with perfect gaps and panel fit. The exterior features tripled
plated brightwork, new rubber seals, aluminum trim, and original
glass. Additional exterior enhancements include Hella fog lights
and Hella driving lights, with greater night-time visibility.
Equipped with 4 �" x 15" Fuchs alloy wheels fitted with Sprint
Classic Vredestein 165 HR15 tires. The undercarriage was stripped
to metal and undercoated in German Wurth undershoot, and suspension
and hardware components have been completely detailed and CAD
plated to factory specifications.
The upholstery was reupholstered in the correct German materials by
a well-known Porsche specialist in black vinyl, including the dash,
comfort seats with houndstooth inserts, Haargan carpets, and a new
headliner. Featuring a VDM wooden steering and restored factory VDO
instrumentation with a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio.
Mechanically powered by the matching 2.0L flat-six engine (Type
901/02) producing 160hp with 132 foot-pounds torque at 5200 rpm
paired to a manual dog-leg 5-speed transmission (Type 901) with a
four-wheel disc braking system. The engine was completely
disassembled, and the case and cam towers were tumbled. The case
was align-bored and decked, and the through bolts were spot-faced.
The cam towers were cleaned and retapped, and new plugs were
installed. The crankshaft was polished, balanced, and fitted with
new gearing. New pistons and barrels were used with a new gasket
set. The cylinder heads were resurfaced with all new valves. All
the engine tin was powder coated, and the hardware was CAD-plated
to the factory finish. The matching 901 transmission was completely
disassembled, inspected, and reassembled with all new synchros and
bearings. All the braking components are new rotors, rebuilt brake
calipers, brake lines, and master cylinder.
Complete with tool kit, jack, books, Porsche Kardex, a copy of the
Porsche Production Specification, spare wheel, photo documentation
of the restoration, and service records. The 1967 911 S was the
first 911 to have more horsepower than the base model, with 160
horsepower compared to the base model's 130 horsepower. It also had
one of the lightest chassis and the lightest 2.0 liter "S" engine
with only 2,271 lbs of curb weight. This 911S, presented in its
factory color combination, retains its matching engine and
transmission, making it an impressive addition to any collector's
portfolio.
