1977 Porsche 911 S Coupe

Description

Throughout its history, Porsche has consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to adapt to changing market demands, governmental regulations, and client preferences, resulting in some of the most coveted and gratifying sports cars ever conceived. The 1974-1977 Porsche 911 S exemplifies this adaptability, representing two significant changes for the evergreen 911. In response to stringent U.S. emissions standards, Porsche increased the displacement of the flat-six engine from 2.4 to 2.7 liters, adeptly compensating for any potential power loss. Simultaneously, to meet federal impact requirements, the marque introduced a set of bumpers with hydraulic shock absorbers – a design challenge that Porsche met with characteristic tact, earning widespread acclaim from enthusiasts for their seamless integration.   

Bridging the gap between the classic long-hood cars and the 911 SC, this particular 1977 911 S is finished in the wonderful Paint to Sample hue of Aubergine. It features a CIS fuel-injected 2.7-liter engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Recent refurbishment includes a glass and engine-out repaint in its original color and mechanical sorting. Offered in a rarely seen color, this 911 S Coupe presents an exciting opportunity to acquire an intriguing example of Porsche's air-cooled legacy.
