Buying a 1972 Porsche 911 S Coupe

During the 1972 model-year, German automaker Porsche once again made changes to further enhance the illustrious Porsche 911 lineup. Engine capacity, which previously boasted 2.2L, was once again enlarged, this time to 2.4L, and the 911 S model would now feature more than 190 horsepower. Likewise, the 911 E that ran alongside the 911 S would boast 165 horsepower. This new Porsche 911 2.4L lineup would be released from 1972 to 1973 before being upgraded yet again in 1974. The 1972 Porsche 911 S Coupe is perhaps one of the most popular of the early 911 models with collectors thanks to its 2.4L engine and its long-wheelbase body. Most Porsche purists consider this model (and the 1973 911 2.4L) to be the last of the classic Porsches before the 2.7L, which was riddled with engine cooling problems, would be released. Aesthetically, the 2.4L 1972 Porsche 911 S Coupe would receive a small under-bumper chin spoiler, adding high-speed stability as well as a nice appearance. In fact, the result of this aerodynamic work by Porsche reduced front-end lift by more than 40 percent. During 1973, this spoiler would become standard on the 911 S models and optional on the rest of the lineup.

While collecting classic cars is never a sure investment, you can rest assured knowing that the 1971 Porsche 911 S 2.4L is unlikely to fall from grace anytime soon. To ensure you are purchasing one of these desired classics, always check authenticity by verifying chassis and engine numbers against Porsche records.
