1967 911s Coupe Slate Grey Matching Coa Numbers European 42415 Km on 2040-cars

1967 911S COUPE: 307120S

HISTORY:  I purchased this vehicle approximately 30 years ago with the intentions of restoring this car. I have previously owned several older Porsches but consider myself a nonprofessional mechanic or body man.  An appreciation for these vehicles was gained while I served in the military in Germany during the early 1970's.  At the time of purchase, the vehicle was in a state of mechanical disrepair but looked very promising as a historical restoration candidate. My intentions where to restore this car as time and money became available. The vehicle looked not too dissimilar from what it does today. Outside of some questionable cosmetics such as bad paint jobs, the vehicle seems to be very original.  Hopefully I can convey what is known about this vehicle to aid in bidding. Since this was a project car I started slowly with the restoration but never finished. Approximately 26 years ago the car was put into a storage shed of which it still remains.  The car is covered and stored off of the ground with the motor turned over by hand on a regular basis. 

CONDITION: 

 A. PAINT:  The original paint color of SLATE GREY #6601 is still on most of the car.  This paint is covered by a couple of questionable paint jobs of paint over paint. What is shown in the photos is an inferior black color over the SLATE GREY color.  The paint tag photo shows the original color.

B. BODY: The body does have some dents and dings.  There is a noticeable 6 inch dent in the right rear fender.  The front bumper has a ding.  The right front fender has been replaced.  The rear deck lid was repaired after a questionable fiberglass ducktail was removed.  It appears that this car originally had a set of bumper guards front and rear.  There is some rust or corrosion of the front pan under the battery. The underside of the car seems to be fairly solid.  There is some damage around the right side jack receiver. The rims are not original but early 5 1/2 inch Fuchs.  Hopefully the photos will show these short comings.

C. INTERIOR:  The interior of black leatherette seems to be original. The seats are in great shape. The dash has minor cracks. The headliner is original but needs attention  There is a AM FM radio. The dashboard gauges are in German. PLEASE NOTE: The speedometer reads 42415 Kilometers not miles.

D. ENGINE & TRANSMISSION:  The engine and transmission appear to be original to the car.  The transmission #104051 901.02 was rebuilt by a local Porsche mechanic. This was part of a mechanical problem when I first purchased the car.  The first gear syncro was replaced as well as a new clutch installed.  The engine# 961033 appears to be correct. The engine ran strong when placed into storage and still turns freely.  I never got into the engine but believe it to have its original interior parts such as the original chain tensioners. The carburetors are the correct Weber 40 IDS 3C & 40 IDS  3C1. The engine has scratches on some of its numbers. The engine case number is 901.02 # 7570.

E. WARRANTY, SHIPPING, & PAYMENT:  The vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty expressed or implied.  The vehicle is located in the State of Montana, USA.  All shipping will be the sole responsiblity of the buyer.  The vehicle has a clear title.  A successful bidder must contact me within 24 hours of the close of the auction with a $500 deposit and the remaining sum paid within 72 hours of the close of the auction.

F. RESERVE:  I believe this vehicle is a survivor and an excellent example of a rare and very collectable early 1967 911S PORSCHE SWB COUPE.  I have placed what I consider a very reasonable reserve price on this vehicle.  Hopefully someone can see my vision of a total restoration for this car.  Happy bidding.
