Easily distinguishable by its stylish Fuchs five-spoke alloy wheels, the 'S' featured a heavily revised engine producing 160bhp, the increased urge raising top speed by 10mph to 135mph. A lengthened wheelbase introduced in 1969 improved the 911's handling, and then in 1970 the engine underwent the first of many enlargements - to 2.2-liters. By this time, the 911 models had established themselves as one of Europe's most refined and enjoyable sports cars for the road, and as a serious weapon on the racetrack in production-based formulae. To have a Porsche 911 as a road car made a statement - you knew about the best things in life. Just take the king of cool for instance; in the opening scenes of the cult movie Le Mans , Steve McQueen is seen charging around French country roads in a 2.2-liter 1970 911S - the glorious sound of its flat-six and virtually open fuel injection intakes are remembered by most who have seen the movie. It's perhaps no surprise that McQueen kept one for his own personal use long after filming was over. These 2.2-liter 911S models are nowadays considered one of the most sought after pre-1973 911's, offering a very flexible torque-curve, yet retaining the light, rev-happy feel of the earlier 2.0-liter models. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED Finding a Concours-quality early "long-hood" Porsche 911S coupe has become increasingly difficult; relatively few were manufactured and fewer still were sold in the United States. This magnificent 1970 911S coupe, glowing in brilliant Signal Orange (Code 14) with a black leatherette (Code 12) interior is precisely such an automobile. Its owner states that this fine example had been parked and left to decay in a Florida carport in 1996 and was discovered in derelict condition in early 2010. A closer inspection revealed that it had accrued only 32,300 miles from new. After first considering it as a good starting point to build a track-day car for Porsche Club of America driver education events, the fact that it was complete and fully numbers-matching prompted a change of direction. Receipt of a factory-issued Certificate of Authenticity provided the fact that the car had been ordered with tinted glass all around, a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, and a "U.S. Comfort Package". The current owner turned the car over to the highly-regarded restoration department of Brumos (Brundage Motors) Porsche in Jacksonville, where a comprehensive bare metal restoration was begun. Brumos is known for its exacting craftsmanship and attention to detail. Brumos shop personnel did the disassembly, engine, transmission, brakes and suspension, interior, and re-assembly work, while Terry Simmons, an independent specialist for the Brumos race cars and Brumos museum collection, put the tub on a rotisserie and tackled all the body and paintwork. This project, consuming some 3½ years, was completed in early 2014. This wonderful 911S, which has been dubbed "Orange Crush", then began a new life as a Concours competitor, with the quality of Brumos' work producing a steady list of prestigious Best of Class, Judges' Choice, and Best Porsche awards at events including St. Johns (Meadowbrook), Hilton Head, Highlands, Lakeland, Pinehurst, Winter Park, Dayton, Ault (Cincinnati), Atlanta, Porsche Parade and a number of local car events. She has also been shown at Louisville, Kiawah, and Amelia Island. This fine Porsche has been described as a totally finished
