Marking the inaugural year of the original Porsche 911S, this 1967 Coupe came factory finished in Gulf Blue over a black leatherette interior featuring an optional Webasto heater, a loudspeaker, antenna, and a 100L fuel tank. The vehicle’s known history begins in 2000 when it was reportedly sold from Symbolic Motors of La Jolla, California before it was sold again in 2006 and eventually acquired as part of a large private collection in Mexico in 2014. Having since undergone a major service as well as a recent professional inspection, this coveted first-year 911S is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Northern California.
The first Porsche color to be officially named “Gulf Blue”, this 911S sports factory-specified Golfblau (6603) paint which predates the more common light pastel shade used for the iconic Gulf Oil/Porsche racing livery. It was offered from 1966 to 1968 and remains one of the more rarely seen historic Porsche colors. Equipment includes a chrome driver’s side mirror, chrome headlight bezels, integrated yellow driving lights, and pop-out quarter windows. Compared to the standard 911, the S model receives gold lettering on the rear as well as wider rubbing strips for the chrome body moldings and bumperettes. The car has been fitted with a set of rare authentic 4.5”x15” Fuchs forged aluminum five-leaf wheels mounted with Michelin XYX tires dated from 2014. The car had been refinished in its original color sometime prior to 2000, and the seller describes the exterior to be very well presented with good panel fitment and very few imperfections. Additional images are provided in the gallery.
Trimmed in black vinyl with pepita houndstooth seat inserts, the cabin remains beautifully preserved with its original radio, instrumentation, safety belts, 5-speed dogleg shift knob, and optional Webasto heater. The carpeting and upholstery are described to be in fantastic condition while some cracks are present on the shift knob inlay. A plastic rivet is missing from the driver’s door and the rear pop-out window latches show some pitting in the chrome plating. The seller also notes the radio and analog clock are currently inoperable, although all other accessories remain fully functional including the window regulators and Webasto heater.
The 1967 911S was offered with a magnesium-cased Type 901/02 flat-six engine which produced up to 160 HP featuring forged light-alloy pistons, larger 42mm intake valves, forged connecting rods, and a pair of 40mm Weber downdraft carburetors. A 5-speed dogleg transaxle delivers power to the rear wheels. The 911S also received adjustable Koni shock absorbers, a rear anti-roll bar, and upgraded aluminum brakes with ventilated discs at all four corners. In 2016, this example was treated to a major service by Porsche specialist Ed Mayo, which included ignition timing service, throttle linkage repair, a new Bosch CDI box, and more. In October of 2021, a full inspection was carried out including a leak down test showing 6% across all cylinders.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a spare Fuchs wheel, a car cover, and a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. Now is your chance to own one of the most sought-after early 911s of all time finished in an incredibly rare color, do not miss out.

@bigcity911s the car was bought by our customer, a long time Porsche collector in Mexico, in 2014 from California. It was then legally imported, registered and titled in Mexico in the sellers name. A copy of the old CA title is still available. A US buyer would have to title and register the car back in the US. All necessary documentation is available and the seller will pay for any doc fees that occur. It is a simple process. The car is physically here in Northern California and can be inspected and test driven with appointment.
How and where is car titled? Domestic (CA) or Mexico? Thank you.
@dchesrown Hi there, yes, comes with tool kit, there are two photos of it in the gallery. No Kardex, but Porsche Production Specification Certificate. I also had the car checked with Porsche Classic in Germany and they confirmed to me engine is numbers matching, color code is correct, transmission is not matching numbers, but correct dogleg 5 spd.
Tool kit? Kardex?
@Tom_F2 Yes, I have one of those early cars, but this car has ordinary IDA's, important to know for potential buyers!
Early S had IDA Webers stamped “S.” IDS came later in the model year. Change is described in the shop manual.
@cmaxcliff Six, not 4 stickers!
The 67 S had 4 gold stickers behind the engine. No sticker on the fan bracket. Mine, original owner never restored, is that way. When I has it painted 15 years ago I could not find exact replacements for the stickers so we painted around them. Are 100% correct ones available anywhere?
@P1800 no long gone. Came this way to current owner.
@2shores The Red book contains a lot more mistakes... LOL
Other question, are the IDS carburetors still with the car? Very specific for an S, too bad it has now IDA's.
@P1800 in regards to the color name. You are correct, it is called Golfblau in Germany, but in the US, for example the Red Book from Paternie it is called Gulf Blue. Either way, a gorgeous color and rarely seen.
@2shores Indeed, red borders, plus no small sticker on the left and no sticker on the fan housing strap in 67.
@P1800 thanks for your comment. Yes, Ed Mayo is one of the best for sure and he went through the car extensively in 2016. I will upload the invoices for all the details.
Engine decals are missing red border and the seats are replaced. Originally corduroy inserts.
"Bosch CDI box"??? Ed is a highly qualified technician/specialist and would not install one in this car, looking at the picture there is none, looks correct so the text is misleading.
Btw the stickers in the engine bay are wrong for a 67!
Also the seats are from a later car.
Nice car in rare color! Golf Blue, not Gulf. GLWS.
@911SCracer the 2,2l was first introduced with the 1970 model. Up to 1969, all 2.0l engines.
@911SCracer No, the 67S has a 2.0l engine producing 160hp. The engine the original engine and is numbers matching to the car, the transmission is a correct 5 speed dogleg 901 transmission, but the numbers are off.
2.2 liter? Does this have numbers matching orig engine and trans?
Bid in the amount of $125,000
