1968 Porsche 911 Coupe

  • Chassis Number: 11800073
  • Engine Number: 9604784
The 'S' version was introduced within two years of the original 911's launch. It was designed to satisfy the demands of even the most demanding drivers. It had a 2+2 interior and powered by a 2-liter flat-six engine, and given subtle details that helped distinguish it from its siblings. The engine had 30 more horsepower than the standard 911, and a modified version of the 901 transmission. The result was a car that could race from zero-to-sixty in the seven-second range, while reaching a top speed of 140 mph.

The 911 S was given front and rear anti-roll bars, adjustable Koni shocks, lightweight Fuchs aluminum alloy wheels and ventilated brakes. The interior received similar sporty updates with a bespoke steering wheel, and basket-weave trim.

This 1968 911S is a correct matching numbers car that has been given a no-expense-spared restoration. Officially, no 911S were delivered to the United States during the 1960s from the factory due to restrictive emissions standards. This car was imported to the US from Italy by Thomas Turnage of North Carolina, a member of the Porsche Club of America. It was sold to Steve McNiel in 1985 who immediately commissioned a three-year restoration. Correct factory parts were used where needed and others were entirely rebuilt by the German Turbosport of Greensport.

When the restoration began, the odometer read 93,970 km. Currently it reads 99,000 km after 20 years. Over the past two decades, this car has been kept in secured storage and transported to most of its events in an enclosed trailer.

It is painted in period correct Polo Red over black interior with the slim bumpers. There are 5.5-inch Fuchs alloy wheels and European-style lights. It has the optional wood rim wheel and first-year black-and-white gauges.

In 2007 this 911S was brought to the Gooding & Company auction held in Pebble Beach, CA where it was estimated to sell for $70,000 - $95,000 and offered without reserve. When the gavel fell for the third and final time, the lot had been sold for the sum of $63,800 including buyer's premium.
