� Completed June 26, 1967

Recently restored by a marque specialist, finished in a desirable
factory color combination with the matching engine. According to
the Porsche Kardex, this 911S Coupe was distributed by Porsche of
America in Teaneck, New Jersey, to the first owner, Walter Luftman,
in Rye, New York. The 911S was originally ordered in Light Ivory
(color code 6604) with Black Leatherette upholstery and was
equipped with a Webasto gas heater, Blaupunkt Frankfurt AM/FM
radio, an antenna, a loudspeaker, a Talbot mirror, headrests, and
Dunlop 165 15 tires.
Over 18 months, a marque specialist performed a concours
restoration. The 911 S was completely disassembled, and the body
was stripped, metal-finished, and prepped for paint. The paintwork
is impeccable, with perfect gaps and panel fit. The exterior
features triple-plated brightwork, new rubber seals, aluminum trim,
and original glass. Additional exterior enhancements include Hella
128 fog lights for greater night-time visibility and 4 �" x 15"
Fuchs alloy wheels fitted with Michelin XZX 165 15 tires. The
undercarriage is solid and rust-free, fully detailed, and the
suspension and hardware components have been CAD plated to factory
specifications.
The upholstery was upholstered in the correct German black vinyl,
including comfort seats with houndstooth inserts, rear seats, dash,
door panels, rear panels, and headliner with Haargan carpets.
Featuring a VDM wooden steering wheel with butterfly horn ring and
restored VDO green/black 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 of torque at 5200 rpm,
paired to a manual 5-speed dog-leg transmission (Type 901/02) with
a four-wheel disc braking system. The engine, transmission, and
suspension have been completely rebuilt, and this 911S drives
phenomenally. All the braking components are new, including the
brake rotors, brake pads, brake lines, master cylinder, and brake
calipers, which have been rebuilt.
Complete with the Porsche Classic Technical Certificate (CTC),
Porsche Kardex, copy of the Porsche Production Specification, tool
kit, jack, spare 4.5" Fuch 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, making it an impressive
addition to any collection.
History
In 1966, for the 1967 model year, Porsche introduced the 911 S.
With the "S" standing for "SUPER," the 911 S received a power boost
from 130 hp to 160 hp, as well as a modified suspension with an
added rear anti-roll bar and adjustable Koni shock absorbers. In
1969, Porsche lengthened the 911's wheelbase by 2.4 inches to
improve stability, making the 1967-1968 short-wheelbase 911 S a
rare and desirable variant.
