The early history of this 911S is not well known other than it was
in Washington State early on until approximately 2011 when it was
brought to CA and owned by an officer at the Monterey Naval base.
The car was acquired by a WA Porsche collector in early 2018 and
has been stored in his large private warehouse. In 2019 the current
owner took possession and the car has been stored in a private
climate controlled facility as he has enjoyed it and sorted through
some more needed repairs.
This 911S Targa had major service at Akers Porsche Service in
Seattle, where it received a complete MFI fuel injection pump
rebuild, distributor rebuild, new batteries fitted, new exhaust
muffler, fresh valve adjustment, spark plugs, and some other minor
needs attended to. Other recent service work includes rebuilding of
all 4 brake calipers, new brake hoses, new air filter, fuel
injector cleaning, new battery ground straps, new tie rod ends,
fuel filter, and alternator belt. A cylinder compression test was
also performed with the following results: 1/135, 2/140, 3/135,
4/140, 5/140, 6/140. A new set of 5 Vredestein Sprint Classic tires
have just been installed along with a fresh suspension alignment.
Another $20k has been spent by current owner on fully sorting and
rehabbing the electrical wiring system on the vehicle. This is a no
questions asked, nothing to hide, investment grade collectible
automobile.
The body was stripped to bare metal and painted to a high standard
at some point. New seals and body gaskets were fitted at that time.
All panels and floors are in good condition with no known rust
present. The car is finished in show quality Ivory paint, just as
it originally rolled off the assembly line! The cars beautiful
Fuchs wheels are beautifully restored, and the silver Targa bar
looks amazing in contrast to the creamy, dreamy paint scheme. The
headlamps are european spec Cibie H4 units and all trim is
correct.
The original brown leather interior is very nice showing a lovely
light patina. The dash is crack free and features the correct
center speaker grill. A functioning, original type Blaupunkt am/fm
radio has just been sourced and installed. The carpets, door
panels, door pockets and targa top are all in excellent condition.
The steering wheel leather has been recovered and new period
brown/beige coco floor mats fitted, providing a cool vintage vibe.
All gauges function correctly. The heater blows hot with all fan
speeds operating well, wipers, and lights are also in good working
order.
Included with the sale is a complete, new reproduction tool kit,
spare tire, correct original Bilstein jack, owner's manual,
original sales brochure, technical spec sheet, MFI repair and
tuning manual, Porsche COA which verifies this car as numbers
matching and correct original colors. Much has been spent on this
911S to insure that it is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.

compliments the 1970s era very nicely. This car is incoming shortly
to our facility and we will do a thorough inspection, detail and
