1967 Porsche 911 S Coupe - SOLD
As the Porsche 911’s first sport model, the 1967 911 S sits on hallowed ground within the early 911 community and among Porsche fans worldwide. Upon introduction, the new 911 bested the older 356 (and Carrera 4-Cam) in pretty much every performance category. However, Porsche was wary of racing their new car, famously attempting to protest a Florida-based team from entering their privately-owned 911 in the 1965 24 Hours of Daytona until they developed their own. A short two years later, the factory had thoroughly tested a suite of modifications and upgrades resulting in the new 911 S. Offered as both a coupe and newly created Targa, the 911 S famously offered the 2.0-liter flat-six with dual Weber 40 IDS carburetors, high compression aluminum pistons, and several other modifications resulting in an advertised 160 (SAE) horsepower - 30 more than the standard 1991 cc engine from the year before. In typical Porsche fashion, the 911 S was more than a power upgrade. A bevy of modifications inside and out raised the specification and the price of the 911 S with Car and Driver noting the base price of $6990 for the coupe. Certainly not cheap, but of course quality never has been.
