Porsche 911 S

1969 Porsche 911 S Coupé in Burgundy for sale!

Respected 356 restorer, Tom Scott, discovered this 1969 911S in Arizona with some significant damage to the A-pillar and roof and purchased the car with intent to build and restore the car for himself. He decided that since the car was for him, he would install a factory sunroof. He located a NOS roof clip from a 1974 911 with a sunroof, using all original wiring and switches, and replicated the proper drain holes. The body was stripped to bare metal before being repainted the original factory color of Burgundy (6808) and the undercarriage was finished with the proper undercoating. All of the brightwork and hardware were re-plated to the original factory specifications. The gauges were restored by North Hollywood Speedometer, and the Blaupunkt radio was restored to operating condition. A full mechanical overhaul was performed – the engine and Bosch MFI were rebuilt, as were the transmission, suspension, and brake systems. The interior was finished in its original color of tan and received handmade seat trims, carpets, and interior panels. The houndstooth inserts on the front seats were not in the car’s original configuration, but are a nice personal touch. Shortly after the completion of the 911S’s restoration in 2008, it was entered in the 2009 PCA Parade Concours d’Elegance at Keystone Colorado where it was featured in the early 911 Touring class. It was awarded 233.2 of a possible 235 points and first in class.

Over a decade after its restoration, the 911S’s Burgundy paintwork still shines with a deep gloss, and its interior shows little discernable wear. For anyone in search of a fully sorted, long hood 911S that would perform as well on the show field as it does on winding back roads, this car will certainly not disappoint.
