As one of 1,430 911S Coupes built for 1973, this highly optioned example represents the pinnacle of Porsche's long-hood era. Finished in its striking original combination of Silver Metallic over a Black leatherette interior. Loaded with factory options including an electric sunroof, Recaro sport seats, Koni shocks, limited-slip differential, and Air Conditioning. This was the most refined, high-performance specification available to the U.S. buyers in the final year of the long hood 911 before the impact-bumper G-series cars.

Delivered new in May 1973 via Porsche | Audi Eastern VW Corp. and retailed through President Porsche | Audi in Vestal, New York, this 911S was exceptionally well optioned at purchase. Notably, the electric sliding sunroof, a $500 extra-option at the time, was ordered by fewer than 5% of the buyers; the factory air condition also had to be special-ordered along with the factory Recaro sport seats. Complementary details included chrome fender strips, Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, electric heated rear window, and 6 x 15-inch Fuchs alloy wheels.

The Silver Metallic paintwork is stunning, the result of a bare-metal respray with all new trim and triple-plated chrome brightwork. The interior is amazing with factory sport seats trimmed in black vinyl with houndstooth inserts, factory leather-wrapped steering wheel with butterfly horn ring, VDO instrumentation, Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, and cold Air Conditioning.

Mechanical care has been extensive and well-documented. The engine was completely rebuilt, including new pistons and cylinders, Carrera chain tensioner upgrade, and replacement of all necessary components. Sewickley Porsche in Pennsylvania performed a comprehensive $20,000 service that included new Pirelli Cinturato CN36 tires, ignition system repairs, tuning and adjustments, a new muffler, a refinished sump plate, and refreshed oil lines.

Mechanically powered by its matching 2.4-liter mechanical fuel-injected (MFI) flat-six engine, paired with the matching 5-speed manual transmission and four-wheel disc brakes. Complete with a tool kit, jack, owner's manual, original service booklet, Blaupunkt radio manual, antenna key, Porsche Production Specifications sheet, California registration cards from the 1970s, and 25 years of service records. This 1973 Porsche 911S Sunroof is a well-optioned, matching-numbers, beautifully presented in its original factory colors and is one of the most desirable models of the marque's golden era.
