Porsche 911S
Five-spoke wheels identified the hot Porsche 911S, which bowed in late 1966. S gear ratios were evenly spaced except for the five-speed transmission's overdrive top, which was purposely very "high." It gave 100 mph at 4,200 rpm, hardly a strain for the free-revving flat-six. Pulling max rpm in the lower gears netted 0-60 in eight seconds or less and ran a standing quarter-mile of under 16 seconds at 90-plus mph.
Interestingly, the torque curve had two distinct steps. As Autocar reported: "The catalogue peak comes at 5,200 rpm, but before that, at about 3,000, the engine takes a deep breath and literally surges up to the next step, where the extra punch feels like an additional pair of cylinders being switched in. This kick in the back leaves passengers unaccustomed to it slightly winded, and it is sudden enough to cause momentary wheelspin on wet surfaces, even in third."
As for road manners, the S earned mixed reviews. "Oversteer is back -- and Porsche's got it!" screamed Car and Driver. "At low lateral accelerations it understeers mildly . . . By 0.70 g, it's in a full-blooded four-wheel drift. . . . Beyond the limit of . . . adhesion, the 911S reacts like any car with a rearward weight bias, and spins, or, if you're quick enough to catch it, power-slides like an old dirt-track roadster."
Road & Track found "less of the [low-speed] understeer that so surprised us in the 911, [though above 40 mph] we were hard-pressed to detect any difference. . . . Certainly it's easier to hang out the tail if you're in the right gear, simply because of the increased power. But the simple application of steering to the 911S at highway speeds gets the same results as in the 911, which means stick-stick-stick-oversteer! And you'd better know what you're doing in that last phase."
In a calmer vein, C/D declared that "Porsche's admonition, 'not for the novice,' is a bit gratuitous. Within normal driving limits and with reasonable caution, the 911S handles predictably, controllably, and head and shoulders above anything else on the road."
As proof, the magazine reported lateral acceleration of 0.93 g in right turns, 0.89 g in lefts, and a calculated 0.81 g overall. These figures, good even today, came despite the modest rubber.
Both U.S. magazines were disappointed in Porsche 911S braking, blaming the skinny tires for unchanged stopping distances despite the model's new vented rotors. C/D also found some minor lapses in workmanship, though its test car was admittedly "right off the boat" and had not been dealer-prepped.
The engines in both test cars evidently weren't up to scratch either. Though C/D cut a full second off Porsche's claimed 7.5-second 0-60 time, R&T managed only 8.1. But there was no disputing that the engine itself was beautifully smooth and fantastically willing.
Autocar applauded "the superb lightness of all the controls" and "excellent seating . . . The Porsche 911S is a car one never likes to leave parked when one could be driving it."
Road & Track was more critical, saying that in American conditions the Porsche 911S "offers no real gain over the 911 and perhaps even a slight loss. It is a bit less flexible at ordinary speeds; deceleration below about 1800 rpm brings on bucking and considerable clatter from the drivetrain, demanding an immediate downshift." But even R&T's hard-nosed editors weren't immune to that intoxicating powerplant: "For the driver who really wants to get on with it, the 911S is bound to be more fun than the 911."
The fun suddenly stopped when the Porsche 911S left the American market for 1968 (though it continued in Europe). While the ostensible reason was that year's new federal emission standards and the engine retuning needed to meet them, some say it was the persistent plug-fouling, which had become a tremendous service problem. But the S would return, for 1969.
Picks:
This 911 has ben completely repainted once in the late 80's and the body shows well but I would wet sand the entire body to get rid wash and swirl marks, tire tread depth is low, vehicle has the expected amount of knicks and touched up rock pecks on the body, a/c belt has been off the compressor for years so I am sure it needs a/c work, it starts right up and runs very well (Webers sound great!), rims need to be polished, interior carpet has plastic on the sides, seats have patina and show some light wear on the bottoms, sunvisors puffy, driver side air vent insert missing, vehicle is lightly leaking oil, a great color combo and fantastic options, nothing else to reasonably fault.
*PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A FACTORY RS RACE MOTOR - THIS IS A REGULAR PRODUCTION 911 MOTOR COMPLETELY REBUILT TO 2.7L RS SPECIFICATIONS. IT IS STILL A VERY RARE 911S WITH A POWERFUL AND HIGHLY DESIREABLE ENGINE.

I have been a member of E-Bay since November of 1998 and have a 100% positive feedback rating. I also am an E-Bay PowerSeller and am committed to same same client oriented service and satisfaction on E-Bay as I am in my brick and mortar auto dealership. I am an E-Bay Power Seller and want our transaction to be as simple and satisfying to you as possible. So please ask any and all questions that you may have, and be sure to request the extra pictures that I always have available.
The item you are bidding on is most likely advertised in other venues besides E-Bay. Seller reserves the right to cancel all bids and end an auction early should the item no longer be available for sale.
The following terms of sale apply to all of my auctions:
*This item is being sold in as-is condition with no expressed or implied warranty, although aftermarket warranties are available on most all vehicles we represent.
*All sales are final. There will be no returns or refunds, partial or whole!
*Unless otherwise noted in the auction, shipping and handling charges are the responsibility of the buyer / winning bidder, although we are happy to assist in the enclosed transport of automobiles within the continental US. Seller will not be responsible for any shipping costs, duty, customs and / or brokerage or import fees, etc. for items shipped within or outside of the US.
*In many of my recent auctions I have received requests to ship items to several different countries outside of the US. Because of the huge increase in scam attempts via the internet, I would prefer it if bidders outside the United States would set up their own shipping arrangements for the items they win. This allows them to check on shipping rates themselves, and to ensure that all duties, import and brokerage fees, etc. are covered. Visit the websites of DHL, UPS, USPS or FedEx and check shipping rates from 47715, Indiana, USA to your location. If you win, have your chosen shipper send a call tag and pick the item up at my office. I will provide you with the weight and dimensions of the box once payment for the item has been received. I regret to have to adopt this policy, but the numbers of dishonest people on E-Bay and other such sites makes it a necessity ...
*There is a $110.00 doc fee to be paid upon delivery. This is the only additional fee charged by the dealership.
*Only buyers from IN will pay sales tax to us, as long as the vehicle is shipped out of state. Out of state buyers are then only responsible for sales tax in their home states. Please check with your local or state government for any possible additional taxes or fees.

Winning bidders hereby agree that if a dispute arises regarding this item or transaction, that said dispute must be resolved by mediation or litigation in the State, City and County of the Seller, using the state laws of Indiana. In the event of litigation to enforce the terms of this transaction or any document or instrument executed pursuant hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to a judgment for its attorneys’ fees, paralegal fees, collection costs and pre-judgment interest on any damage claim.
All bidders are strongly encouraged to:
* E-mail me with any questions, or call me at (812) 476-2281 x 209

* Come and see this car in person or have a pre-purchase inspection performed.

I have also done my best to be very honest and very critical about the cosmetic and mechanical condition of this vehicle. Of course, it is not possible to pick-up on every single detail or flaw. Please keep expectations realistic as this is a pre-owned vehicle, and I have personally found blemishes on brand new undriven vehicles. If you are an exceptionally detailed oriented person, please contact me to verify any information directly, and I will do my best to specifically photograph anything you request and to answer any of your questions to the best of my ability.I want to and am willing to do my best to make this a great transaction for us both, so please ask questions, look at all of the pictures I provide, and if you can, come out and see the car or make arrangements to have the car cosmetically and mechanically inspected by an independent third party. If the above are not realistic possibilities I will do everything reasonable to make you feel comfortable with the item you are purchasing and our transaction.
God Bless and good luck in bidding!!
