Presented in a classic Ivory finish, this 1967 Porsche 911 is appointed with the uber-desirable low-back Recaro sport seats stitched with desirable red leather. Fitted with the iconic and period-correct Fuchs wheels, this short-wheelbase/long-hood coupe certainly checks all the right boxes for lovers of air-cooled Porsches. First introduced into the American market for 1967, this particular car mimics the 911S that represented a quantum leap in performance over the standard 911.
The engine was heavily modified with an increased 9.8:1 compression ratio, forged aluminum pistons, higher lift-duration camshafts, increased valve overlap, larger intake and exhaust valves, low-restriction exhaust system and a Weber 40 IDA carburetion system producing a robust output of 180 HP. That power translates into 1.47 HP per 1 CI of displacement, a remarkable performance metric from a naturally aspirated engine from more than 50 years ago. The same thoroughness of engineering was also applied to the rest of the car.
The 4-wheel disc-brake system was upgraded with vented rotors for increased heat dissipation, the suspension was equipped with both front and rear anti-roll bars, Koni shock absorbers were installed as standard issue on all four corners, and lightweight forged alloy wheels were fitted to reduce rotating mass. In what would go on to become a signature styling statement, the car featured a one-year-only 15×4.5-inch Fuchs wheels.
