1966 Porsche 911 S Coupé
- Engine
- 2.0L flat-six, numbers-matching, ~160 hp
- Colour
- Light Ivory
A very early example of the high-performance 911 S, built on 31 October 1966 and finished in Light Ivory over black. Delivered new to a Texas physician who kept it for over four decades before parking it in 1981, the car's long dormancy helped preserve its original body structure. Following acquisition by the consignor, the car underwent a comprehensive restoration by Denver specialists, returning it to factory specification while retaining its numbers-matching engine, gearbox, and date-coded Fuchs wheels.
