Porsche 911 S

The vehicle in detail

The 1969 Porsche 911 was the first model year to feature the long wheelbase and in both E and S form, the first to have mechanical fuel injection. While the S was not available to the US market in 1968, it was reintroduced in 1969. Just under 1,500 coupes were built in total for that year’s worldwide distribution.

Finished in a quintessential scheme of Silver Metallic over black vinyl, this 911 S was sold new to Mr. H. Fitzpatrick in Los Angeles, California via John von Neumann’s Volkswagen Pacific. Most recently the 911 was part of a significant collection that included a 935, 962, 959S, Carrera GT among several other limited production 911’s. Another prior owner of interest is David Danglard, the founder of K1 Speed, the indoor kart racing center that has locations throughout the world.

Roughly a decade ago, the 911 S was fully restored in its original spec and color scheme, with the only deviation being the installation of replica Recaro Sport Seats. The paint on the car is superb, and presents extremely well with a fine metallic flack. The interior remains very high-point, and the car is authentically presented throughout.

Late last year the car received a near $3,000 servicing, and on a recent outing proved to be very well sorted and a blast to drive. The 1969 S is perhaps one of the most underrated of the early 911s and is a unique combination of the fantastic 2-liter engine, mechanical fuel injection and the lengthened wheelbase.

A copy of there factory Kartex confirms this car retains its original “matching numbers” engine and documents its original delivery and spec. Beautifully restored and well sorted, I think one would be hard pressed to find a better 911 S in this price range.
