1968 Porsche 911S Targa “Big Tank”

Chassis Number: 11850164

This 1968 911S is a correct, matching-numbers car that has been given a complete restoration. This car was imported to the United States by Beverly Hills Porsche for a client in 1980.

In 2002, the same client commissioned Beverly Hills Porsche to restore the car, and it has been driven sparingly since.

The odometer currently reads just 23,700 miles, indicating the careful miles covered since importation. It is immaculately clean and painted in the period-correct red over black with the slim bumpers. There are 15-inch-by-5-inch Fuchs alloy wheels on the front and 15-inch-by-7-inch wheels on the rear. This is a fixed-rear-glass model.

Another unique feature on this 911 is its 100-liter fuel tank, commonly referred to in rally circles as the “Big Tank.” A recent drive by a Worldwide specialist confirmed that this 911 is mechanically sorted, has excellent road manners and performed admirably at speed. It is a car that commands respect on the track or show field.
