1973 Porsche 911 S Restoration Project
Here it is. That rare and beautiful thing. A first generation 911, one of the last true S performance models, perfected and restored. A long hood painted in Signal Yellow (52), and one of only 1,430 1973 S Coupes ever made.
Identity, Reclaimed
This particular 911S was masquerading as a Carrera RS when we discovered it -not an unusual fate for a ’73. Yet, its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirmed that it was a 911S - a significant model in its own right. After an initial inspection, our mission became clear: to perform a concours-level restoration and reclaim this Porsche’s true identity.
Heritage Design
This is a 911 that captivates with its bold exterior, blacked-out exterior details, and meticulously restored metalwork. Its sportiness built upon the pillars of Porsche’s racing heritage. Here, some of Porsche’s early design elements shine through - the front spoiler, the iconic roofline, the lightweight aluminum alloy wheels, and blacked-out rear engine grille. Its wild ways restored to original specification, with a few discrete modifications: H4 headlamps, European-style front and rear lenses, and European-style rear bumperettes.
Untamed Athleticism
The 1972-1973 model years gave rise to the more powerful fuel-injected 2.4-liter flat-six engine, and the Type 915 transmission with a more driver-friendly H shift pattern. The combination is an enthusiast favorite and pairs well with the 911S’s sporty suspension, Koni shocks, and Pirelli Cinturato™ tires. Like all of our 911’s, this one was track-tested and tuned to thrill.
Expert Tailoring
This particular model was optioned with front sport seats tailored in Pepita cloth with brown leather bolsters. The classic 911 steering wheel is trimmed in black leather and provides a clear view of the restored gauges with white lettering and black surrounds. Road noise is subdued by the Dynamat-lined floors, making it easier to enjoy the AM/FM radio or the engine’s air-cooled symphony of sound.
If you'd like to see this restored 911S in person, send STRAAT your inquiry at www.drivestraat.com/contact. STRAAT would love to get you behind the wheel of your dream car.

Lost for words. In total awe of anyone who takes such care, time and attention to detail on restorations like this. A deserving car in every way. Well done, stunning motor and a testament to Straat.
this model of a particular year(s) are the most beatifull porsche ever made,
There are no words to describe the unbelievable talent and excellence that was put into that restoration. That is the car I would find and buy if I won the lottery. I can watch this video 10X and still be amazed. Can't believe how much talent it takes to restore a car to this level. Simple perfection.
I had to leave a comment to say that your work is beyond art.
It's so good to finally see a yellow car that doesn't have a black interior. This is phenomenal. I don't understand why they showed pictures of new floorpans, I didn't see anything wrong with the floorpans that were in the car. I have a Uncle with a 70's 911 SC Targa. The guys who get to do this for a living have one of the best jobs in the world. Thanks.
A speedo on a 173 Porsche with Zero on the clock. That’s magic. Beautiful restoration job.
What a great restoration, very professional and the exterior and interior color are from an great taste, congratulation to the team and to the person who speced the colors. Cheers!
From the era when 911's looked at their best IMHO. Classic unspoiled lines. Beautiful result.
I agree, certainly the most purest of designs before future body redesigns.
Porsche still looks fantastic😁
so freaking gorgeous. just the most beautiful car ever made. lines of perfection.
I wish Porsche still made them exactly like this! :)
Exactly. No need to make any other car. Just that one.
No sorry, good looking it was but put it beside an E-type and see what perfection means. Regards
Awesome... What a beauty comes back to life 👏👏👏
Outstanding..Pure art on wheels..Porsche when only the very best will do..😎✌👌👍
One of my favourite cars from the 70's....
Stunning! I had a 1969 911 T Targa for a few years and that's the one car I regret having sold. At the time, I had neither the time nor the means to restore the body rot and reluctantly sold it. a 1973 911 S is the holy grail of classic 911's. Congratulations on a beautiful job!
Una obra de arte...!!! Es un sueño hecho realidad...!!! Saludos desde Argentina .....!!!! 👏👏👏🏆
The kid at diy gang is attempting this type of rebuild with a car that had a house burn on top of it.
Interesting to see the different build videos and how one group
Does it vs the rest.
You guys are clearly super professionals.
Nice job.
what a piece of art. Great resto work.
You guys are clearly super professionals. ..... x N~
Just beautiful. And as beautiful as a new Singer 911. I would love these colours and interior on a 1978 Porsche Targa. Well, I can dream.
so beautiful, lot of labor and $ to restore something like that
Respect!! It's a brand new car and I wouldn't drive it anymore. Put it in a garage and look everyday to it.
Outstanding workmanship and the end result probably looks better than when it came from the factory.
Muito top essa restauração de vocês e equipe ... 😎🙌👋👋👋👍👍👍 estão de parabéns...
Belíssimo 👍
Stunning. 10/10. Who wouldn't dream of owning this beauty?
Respect....this love affair we have with cars is irrational. But real.
It's rooted in an appreciation for beauty and brilliant design.
Porsche epitomses that.
Just like all your other Restorations. They come out at the same Grade as if they were new out of the show room. Amazing. !!!!!!!
If Porsche manufactured this shape again with new internals it would sell like hot cakes, if I was head of Porsche I'd cash in on the classic 911 there's a killing to be made
They need to bring back the 912. It wouldn't be hard. They could use the engine out of the 718 series.
Porsche is a work of art in the the car world! They are just awesome. This was so much fun to watch. I wish Porsche would stick to sports cars, I for one don’t like these SUVs out there. There known for sports cars. They should stick to that. Just my opinion.
My thoughts exactly! :-)
It's SO beautful! So detailes with such exquisite taste! You really love these cars! Thank you for such great job!
It is easy to understand before watching after use I guess I will do a fine job
I think he ’s an excellent technician Great video editing
Removing the sound/rust proofing is a difficult task just did a 74. Cool build video.
A Brilliant presentation. SOLD!
just simply beautiful.
Just amazing. Well done. You have done this Porsche justice. 👍
Masterpiece!!
I owned a 73 2.4S 30 years ago, the most missed car I have owned, the sound of the mechanical injection is magic
Wow!
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
I had a 1967 Porsche 912 with a 5spd trans in that beautiful yellow exterior
and black interior. Brings back memories. Thanks
1967 was a different yellow. Bahama Yellow.
That feels so good. Love it
Auto nivel de restauraçao parabens
Such a beautiful car!
Super Cool!!! Great restoration I've ever seen.
Good base car to start with... I always get the "Collapsed barn finds" or the "Found under 3 feet of mud cars" LOL
Those are the best to save
Absolutely Love it!!! Goooood Job!!! 👍
Beautiful work
Looked like a Disney "Fantasia" as a child. It was magical. Bravo.
This warms my heart
the colour is more fabulous thanks
This is the right model for this resto! Better than factory! HOW MUCH$$$! I want it!!!

Oh my, if I had the money to do this! I hope it brings years of joy to whoever is lucky enough to own it.
Just one word : BEAUTIFUL ! I wonder though how much it cost and what's the value of such a classic.
A lot, and a lot.
Stunning ........signiture color.......
Wow that’s beautiful. Way better than the red.
I always love Porsche since I was a kid 🥰😍
What a beauty again!
Really magnificent.
Great detailed work.
Stunning ! !

Amazing!!!
Wonderful. I am going to buy one of these when the world is back to normal...

Everything is just so clean and neat. Great work
Magnificent! My favorite color of all time too. Love, love, love.
AMZING WORK ! ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏
The Signal Orange is AWESOME!
Love the color...
simplesmente lindo !!
Lovely. I'm soon to build a model of one of these, not yet decided on a colour.
wow. that's awesome.
Beautiful restoration and great colour combination too,very tastefully done, but no information about the engine if it was given more power or left just stock, pity we didn't get to hear it start up and a test drive aswell would've been nice to see,not to mention the cost of the restoration itself would've been of interest to many who'd like to consider such a project themselves, maybe a follow up video could be made in the future that would include everything I mentioned?!?🤔, either way,a very well done to all involved, another 911 saved and will be enjoyed for many years to come!!, fantastic 👍👏🙏
Amazing video!
JUST PERFECT!!!
Wow! Worth ever second to watch.
Beautiful. Thanks
what an amazing job, piece of art!
Thats what I would term as an honest attempt at restoration with 100% success.
I would like to know how much that car cost now, amazing work! It looks better than it was new!
A nice 73 911s goes from around 110-200k. Lots of variables tho.
Honestly, the most perfect car. I love my 944 more than anything. However, I have always admired an air cooled 911...I am also not a fan of yellow...but man, this just feels right...
The 944 is the "most perfect car"? You're clearly biast
Lovely, great work!
juste magnifique
Elegance personified!
El mejor trabajo de restauración de el mundo, es un hermoso carro y luce tan original, un día puede ser bonito, una mujer puede ser hermosa, pero este auto es expectacular.
Bloody nice. That would be my dream build. If only I could win the lotto!!
Beautiful
Stunning!
I never see nothing like this.... Incredible job...i am From brazil!
Check a channel called "Polskie Porsche", the guys there show a full restoration process of 60's Porsche that has a motorsport background.
So beautiful car.
Every car wants to be that car.
Be still my beating heart. This, this is the car I go to sleep dreaming of.
Nice work and nice car
Super cool 👍
that watermark drove me Straat up the wall. That is one fine looking Porsche though, well done.
I didn't notice until later in the video, and it drove me nutz also...
The watermarking detracts from the video, too bad.
thank god you said that about the watermark I thought it was only me... but i totally concur what a beautiful looking car.
Fantastic job!
