1972 Porsche LWB 911S (1969-1973)

This 1972 Porsche 911S coupe is a European-specification example that was acquired by the seller and imported to France from Italy in 2004. Work performed in 2022 included refinishing the body and wheels as well as replacing the brakes, driveshaft, and suspension bushings. The car is powered by a 2.4-liter flat-six paired with a five-speed manual transaxle and is finished in yellow over black vinyl upholstery with plaid cloth. Equipment includes 15” Fuchs alloy wheels, Bilstein rear shocks, H4 headlights, VDO instrumentation, and a chrome left-side mirror. This 911S coupe is offered in France with service records, manufacturer’s literature, and French registration. The car is said to have been delivered from the factory in yellow and was repainted in 2022. The 911S model featured a unique front fascia, and additional features include a right quarter panel-mounted oil filler, rear bumperettes, H4 headlights, a chrome left-side mirror, and bright window moldings. Refinished 15” Fuchs alloy wheels are mounted with 185/70 Michelin tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel discs with aluminum calipers and ventilated rotors. Work performed during the refurbishment consisted of replacing the front and rear shocks, control arms, and the brake calipers, pads, discs, and lines. The steering rack is said to have been rebuilt. The bucket seats are upholstered in black vinyl with plaid inserts and are joined by replacement black carpets. Interior features include lap belts, door cubbies, a heater, and hand-crank windows. The Blaupunkt radio is not connected. The four-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of VDO instrumentation that includes an 8k-rpm tachometer, a 250-km/h speedometer, combination gauges, and a clock. The five-digit odometer shows 14k kilometers (~8k miles), approximately 7k of which have been added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown. The 2.4-liter flat-six features mechanical fuel injection and was factory rated at 190 horsepower and 158 lb-ft of torque. The engine was rebuilt in 2013, and additional service performed under current ownership included replacing the fuel tank and lines, and oil lines as well as performing an oil change. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. The driveshaft has reportedly been replaced, and the gearbox fluid was changed.
