If you’ve been following this blog, you’re aware of the saga with my 1975 Porsche 911 S Sportomatic. It was discovered by an SCMer at the Hershey Swap Meet car corral in 2022. I bought it sight-unseen, and it wasn’t until seven months later that I got to drive it for the first time.
Over the past three years, the car became a favorite of both my son Bradley and Editor-in-Chief Jeff Sabatini. We’ve gotten it dialed in as we addressed most of its defects, with new shocks and a rebuilt engine leading the list of maintenance work. All this fettling was done in anticipation of using it for touring with the local Porsche club.
While it’s been driven on several of them, I’ve come to the conclusion that I am more comfortable in a more modern car. The 911 S has already been replaced by a 996 C4S, and it’s now time to send it along to its next caretaker.
