Purchased new in Cleveland, Ohio by T. King Hedinger, this ‘67 911S was immediately built it into a race car and raced regularly in Central division SCCA and Trans Am series. King won enough races to send him to the SCCA American Road Race of Champions in ‘69 & ‘71 (predecessor to the Runoffs).

Later the car was owned and raced by Ara Dube of Florida. Dube ran the car in the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1977 (#33) finishing 8th in the GTU class and 21st overall. The car was mentioned in the August 1977 issue of Car and Driver noting that the car finished the race on an engine from a street car (see photo gallery below). Ara also ran the car in the 1984 ARRC Runoffs.

Since 1987 the car has been vintage raced on the East Coast by Bill Ferran, Roy Sanders and Dr. Albert Carlotti. It was also owned for a period by Prescott Kelly and Klubsport Racing.

Extensive documentation including newspaper and magazine articles, photos, log books, letters from previous owners are included. See partial photo gallery below.

This is a 1967 911S, chassis number 306318S with the original matching number engine 960486.

I’m the fourth owner of the car, the previous owner kept it at his Palm Springs vacation home for 22 years where it received little use. The odometer reads 73,000 miles and is believed to be original, but the mileage isn’t confirmed. The car came with the original 4.5″ Fuch wheels with steel lug nuts.

My plan was to keep the car original and drive it as I received it. But after spending some time with it those plans changed. The engine had good compression, but after some driving we discovered metal flakes in the oil (bearing corrosion due to lack of use). The paint and interior were showing lots of fatigue - no support in the seats and bare metal exposed in the door jambs.

So off she went for a full restoration including the addition of the ultra rare early 911 Sport Seats.

Offered for sale at $85,000.
