Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

5 speed, Fuchs alloy wheels, gold engine cover lettering, drivers side mirror, Blaupunkt multi band radio. Very high quality respray over an otherwise original 911S. Dashboard worn with cracked pull knobs and replacement clock. A show car body on a driver. No Reserve.

Market commentary

If ever there was an argument for leaving an important car entirely original, this is it. A long hood 911 outfitted with the desirable S option package and a tangerine over black color scheme, this is as good as 1969 street Porsches get. Then someone repainted it. What follows the repainting of a very nice original car is the automotive equivalent of Diderots Red Dressing Gown: the new paint, just like an extravagant new gown, diminishes everything else by comparison. Before the repaint this car had patina. Now it has a thoroughly chipped undercarriage and a worn interior. At $101,200 its possible to find a 69 S where they didnt stop at the paint, unless it was Steve McQueens.
