The 911 S arrived in 1967 as the first performance variant of Porsche's then-new flagship, elevating the already sporting 911 to genuine sports car status. Distinguished by its Fuchs five-spoke alloy wheels, the 'S' model featured a host of mechanical upgrades, most notably a more powerful engine with revised camshafts, larger valves, and a higher compression ratio. This second-generation 911, often referred to by enthusiasts as the "long-hood" era, is particularly cherished for its purity of design and direct driving experience, representing a sweet spot before the impact bumper cars arrived. The 1969 model year was significant as it introduced a 2.4-inch longer wheelbase, improving handling stability without sacrificing the car's characteristic agility. This particular 1969 911 S, presented in a striking black, embodies the essence of that revered era. Under its classic long hood lies the numbers-matching 2.0-liter flat-six engine, a marvel of air-cooled engineering, now showing a mere 500 miles since its comprehensive restoration. While the original 'S' models were exclusively manual, this example features an automatic transmission, offering a unique and relaxed driving experience for those who appreciate the iconic design without the demands of a traditional gearbox. The car's exceptional condition and low mileage underscore the meticulous care it has received. An opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored, numbers-matching example of one of Porsche's most desirable early 911 iterations.
