1967 Porsche 911 S
- Engine
- Flat-six, 161 PS (dyno measured)
- Colour
- 'Blutorange' (blood orange)
A 1967 Porsche 911 S — the first model year for this top-specification variant — delivered new via a Los Angeles dealership and retained in California for more than four decades. The short-wheelbase car remains highly original, retaining its matching-numbers engine and gearbox, sealed original floor panels, and factory-correct 'Blutorange' paintwork. After passing through a small number of documented American owners it was exported to Germany in 2014, where it subsequently underwent a mechanical overhaul.
