This 911 S displays the steady improvement that Porsche imparted on its highest-performance sports car in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The wheelbase of the 911 had been extended by some 2.5 inches in 1969, providing better balance and handling, and with its engine output now increased to a potent 180 horsepower, thanks to larger valves and better breathing, a larger 225-millimeter clutch was required. Interior fittings were upgraded as well, with a new steering wheel lock and its instruments now mounted in rubber rings. Externally, new door handles of a safer design replaced the earlier push-button type, and the cars were delivered with full factory undercoating for the first time. Stopping power was provided by 11.1-inch ventilated front and 11.4-inch ventilated rear disc brakes, which proved more than enough for a 2,400-pound car. It was also capable of accelerating to 60 mph from a standstill in just over seven seconds and 100 mph in just 20 seconds, as well as reaching a top speed of 144 mph. Few cars of its day were capable of matching its exhilarating performance. The 911S offered here is a 1971 model, which means that it is equipped with the aluminum rear deck lid that is unique to this year’s model. It is finished in its original, factory Light Yellow with a beautiful black leatherette interior and matching Targa top. This 911 is among one of the finest examples we have seen in many years. A two year-long, ground-up restoration was just completed and it is now ready for the show circuit or to be driven and enjoyed. Accompanying this exceptional 911S is its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, documenting its original matching numbers engine as well as its original desirable color combination. It is with great pride that we offer this investment-grade 911S to the most particular collector or enthusiast who desires the best. Ready to make an investment you can actually enjoy?
