The 911S was not available in the US for 1968, and this European-market example is said to have been taken to bare metal and received bodywork before being repainted in its factory Tangerine (6809) during the 2000s refurbishment.
The 15×6″ Fuchs wheels are mounted with 195/65 Michelin Premier A/S tires. A set of four 15×5.5″ Fuchs wheels is also included in the sale and can be seen in the gallery. Replacement lower ball joints, as well as CV joints and axles, were reportedly installed during the 2000s refurbishment, along with Turbo tie rods, adjustable spring plates, and Koni shocks. Braking is handled by discs at all four corners.
The cabin features Recaro-style sport seats with Pepita inserts that were fitted during the 2000s refurbishment along with a replacement headliner and carpets. Three-point front seat belts are fitted and “elephant hide” vinyl accents the dashboard and door panels. A pair of factory seats trimmed in black leatherette with Pepita inserts is included in the sale and can be seen in the gallery. The factory Webasto heater features a two-speed fan and was reportedly overhauled in the 2000s, though the heater function is deactivated. The Blaupunkt AM/FM radio works intermittently and an imperfection on the driver’s door armrest can be seen in the gallery.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a 250-km/h speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, auxiliary gauges, and a clock. The five-digit odometer shows 59k kilometers (~37k miles), 1,400 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The replacement flat-six was enlarged to displace 2.2 liters and is fitted with dual Weber carburetors, a later-style timing chain tensioner kit, MSD ignition, a Bosch distributor, and a PerTronix ignitor. Rebuilds of the starter and alternator were reportedly performed during the refurbishment.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle. A replacement clutch was installed during the refurbishment, and SSI stainless heat exchangers and a Dansk stainless steel muffler are fitted. Transaxle stamping 4280208 matches the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity below and can be seen in the gallery.
