Porsche 911 S

Mechanically, this matching 2.2-liter engine produces 180HP and runs phenomenal, smooth shifting manual 901-dogleg 5-speed transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes. This 911S performs as it should and is a very fun 911 to drive. Complete with jack, spare, Certificate of Authenticity, owner’s manual, and the original service maintenance booklet. A rare opportunity to own and experience the feel of a true long hood 911S finished in a very desirable color combination.

History
In September of 1969 Porsche delivered the new 2.2-lirt C-Series Model 911 for the 1970 model year. All three versions of the series, the 911T, 911E, and 911S were available in either Coupe or Targa. The entry-level model was the 911T with 125hp, the 911E was 155hp and the flagship model, the 911S was an impressive 180hp.

The front-strut mounting points in the C-Series models were moved slightly forward in order to lighten steering and reduce kickback for better handling. The steel engine covers on the E and S versions were replaced with aluminum to shave weight. The T version finally received ventilated disc brakes, but to keep costs down they were iron as opposed to the lighter alloy calipers used on the more expensive E and S. The only other significant change for 1970 was an anti-corrosion coating for the chassis.
