There is something special about an early 911S that has been properly sorted and is ready to be driven. Chassis 9111300634 is just that: an honest, engaging example powered by its original matching-numbers engine, with the kind of preparation that invites you to grab the keys and take the long way home.
Today the car is finished in period-correct Light Yellow, a wonderfully sporting color that suits the character of the early 911S. It was originally delivered in Burgundy Red (24) with Black Leatherette (11) upholstery in January 1971.

This 911S participated in the 2024 Texas Hill Country Rallye, where it was thoroughly tested over more than 900 miles. That experience says more about the car than a static inspection ever could: it is exceptionally enjoyable to drive, equally happy stretching its legs on a distance tour or darting through town.
Supported by its original Owner’s Manual, VIN-matched Maintenance Record Book, Blaupunkt Frankfurt manual/cards, Technical Specification Booklet in their vinyl folio, and matching spare wheel, the car combines meaningful provenance with thoughtful mechanical preparation.
This is not a museum piece pretending to be a sports car. It is an honest, well-presented and thoroughly sorted 1971 911S that feels exactly as an early S should—light, eager, communicative, and ready for the next road. Turn the key, find a great stretch of pavement, and enjoy it.
