1967 PORSCHE 911 S 4-DOOR

ENGINE: 1.9-liter flat-6
TOP SPEED: 140 mph (est. 1967 Porsche 911 S)
HORSEPOWER: 180 (est.)

Texas Porsche dealer William Dick commissioned this custom four-door Porsche 911 S in 1967 as a gift for his wife and to demonstrate the viability of a four-door model. Los Angeles-area fabricator Troutman and Barnes built the custom by cutting a standard 911 S in half, stretching its wheelbase, and adding a new roof piece to accommodate an extra set of Porsche doors. The car’s interior leather was dyed to match a pair of leather shoes that Dick sent to the Porsche factory and was crafted by well-known upholsterer Tony Nancy.
