R EGI S T RY R E V IE W ESSES MAGAZINE, BUILT FOR SPEED Producing a magazine such as ESSES is done by a process with many steps and many, many decisions. We start months in advance to obtain the various elements of the content and then make it all work together. In the big picture there are two types of editorial content. One type is that produced by our regular columnists, and while pride may be a sin, it’s hard not to be at least a little bit proud of our columnists. Brett Johnson has been documenting his “Project 911R” in real time and we’re up to part 25. Bear in mind this is a quarterly magazine and the magnitude of the project becomes clear. Nonetheless, Brett is very close to wrapping it up and we look forward to seeing the finished product soon. However, in this issue his subject is “Unusual Options and Option Packages for the 19651973 911.” Brett’s research and in-depth knowledge are in a league of their own and we think you’ll find this to be another fascinating perspective on the early 911s. Our two other columnists have also been doing some interesting research to bring you perspectives and insights you won’t find elsewhere. Jeff Zurschmeide reviews “The origin of the Fuchs alloy wheel” beginning on page 24, and John Nikas recounts “Engine
Development for the New 911” beginning on page 27. Please forgive us for taking some pride in the quality of this original content.
trooper. Despite just recently finishing this project and now driving his 911, he’s already thinking about his next project.
However, what makes ESSES really work is the editorial content received from you, the registry members, with stories about your special cars. We have several such stories this time.
And to round out the editorial offerings this time we have a report from faithful correspondent Wolfgang Oberauer on Porsche action in Ireland. The photos alone should get your heart beating. My personal favorite is the one in the lower left of page 32, which makes it very difficult to keep sitting at this keyboard.
Derek Sammann leads this category of features in this issue with the story, “’Chester,’ My Own Personal Barn Find.” However, this isn’t the typical “barn find” story because Derek is not only the one who rescued the car from storage, but he is also the one who put it into storage! What better way to ensure you make that oncein-a-lifetime barn find than to seed the “barn” yourself? Next we have the story of a well-traveled 911 Carrera RS. Now residing in the USA, this RS came here via Italy, Japan and France. Joe Salvo is the lucky owner, and he reports driving it with his wife, Shella, almost every weekend. Then beginning on page 18, Tom Butler recounts the “resurrection” of his early 911. Like so many such projects, it was a multi-year affair, but Tom’s a real
However, before being torn away from the keyboard to go practice some steering, accelerating, shifting and braking, I want to highlight that the magazine is composed of more than just editorial content. Our advertisers comprise at equally important component of ESSES and we hope you’ll take the time to review their offerings and consider them first when you’re in the market for the products and services they provide. The many businesses that cater to our needs form an essential part of the hobby and an essential element in allowing us to keep steering, accelerating, shifting and braking now and into the future. See you next time. – Editor

RELAY RESTORATION AND REPRODUCTIONS We would like to inform you about our unique Wehrle relay service. We can restore your old relays and soon we can also provide completely new reproduction relays with modern technology on the inside! First, let’s tell you a bit more about our relay restoration service. ORIGINAL RELAYS At Kroon we bring old and rusted relays back to the same condition as they left the factory. All you need to do is send the old relay to us. The metal housing is professionally cleaned and provided with several new layers of paint in the correct color. Furthermore, the correct type numbers and logos are applied – even the correct year and month number! The inside is of course much more important, and all contacts are cleaned and adjusted to the correct spring pressure. We do this for all variants, both 6-volt (356) and 12-volt (356 and 911-912 SWB) and all type numbers (spade and bullet type).
REPRODUCTION RELAYS Sometimes the relays cannot be restored, especially with the SWB models. The black horn relay is often corroded. This relay is located at the front near the windshield wiper pump and exposed there to moisture and battery vapors. And here’s the good news, soon we can deliver completely new replica relays! These relays look identical to the original housing on the outside, but they are equipped with modern technology on the inside. All relays are rated at 30 amps. We supply these as a “standard” version, but on special request we can also provide them with the correct year, month and type numbers. The first types that will be available are:
Grey Relay: type: W598A-S-12V article number: 901.615.104.00
Black Relay: type: W592A-S30/51 12V article number: 901.615.102.00
Yellow Relay: type: W595A 12V article number: 901.615.106.00

“Chester,” My Own Personal Barn Find
Story & Photos by Derek Sammann (ESR #3096)

SPRING 2022
Story & Photos by Derek Sammann XXXX
The typical “barn find” story that we all love to read usually involves a car that was tucked away and forgotten by some knucklehead who lost interest and eventually lost track of it, only to be rediscovered decades later by an intrepid car hunter who heroically saves the car so it can be enjoyed by those who appreciate its unique history. As much as I wish I were the hero of that story, that is not my story.
T
his is the story of “Chester,” my 1968 911L. The bad news is that I am the guy who put my car into storage only to forget about it and leave it to languish in a warehouse near O’Hare Airport in Chicago for over 20 years while we lived overseas. The good news is that I am also the guy who rediscovered it and brought it back to life to reconnect with our memories and enjoy it with our family. So in this story, I am both the knucklehead and the hero. To set the scene, we’ve always been a car-nut family. My dad passed down the gearhead gene to both my brother and me. My dad raced, crashed, and rebuilt cars as a high school kid in Walnut Creek, California, whose high school experience came right off the screen from the timeless car culture Americana movie, American Graffiti. Both my brother and I worked at our local gas station in high school in the 80’s in Portola Valley, California, which was personally convenient as it gave me plenty of time to constantly work on my first car, a 1958 MGA 1500 roadster. Years later, unbeknownst to each other, my brother and I bought nearly identical black 911 4S Cabs that we each still drive today. Over the years my dad owned various collector cars from his Austin-Healey in high school to BMWs to Porsches to Corvettes to Ferraris. Cars are a shared passion in our family that still brings us together, and my goal is to pass that same passion on to my three sons.
My Uncle Jon in 1973 with his orange Porsche and signature ginormous mustache, cementing him in my mind as the consummate “Cool Uncle.”
As for “Chester,” let me start at the beginning. My uncle bought this US-delivered 1968 911L (#11805200) from the original owner in 1973, taking phenomenal care of it while living in Orinda, California. I remember my uncle cruising around in this awesome car when I was a kid, cementing him in my mind as the consummate “cool uncle” with his tangerine orange 911 and his ginormous mustache. He loved this car and he babied it for the 19 years he owned it. Fortunately for me, my uncle was meticulous in his care, maintenance, and record keeping of this car, which has paid significant dividends over the years for a car that is now 53 years old. It also means that I have all of the original documentation and equipment for the car from the owner’s manual to the original jack and tool kit, all of which have been well cared for and beautifully preserved. I’ve even got the original Hirschmann antenna key still tied to the instruction manual! Fast forward to 1992. After 19 years of meticulous stewardship of this car, my uncle decided it was time for a change in ownership. As an incredibly gracious family gesture, my uncle offered me the opportunity to “buy” this car as a wedding present. I can’t remember the actual details of the

transaction, but I know with certainty that I didn’t have the means to pay him what the car was actually worth, even in 1992 when these SWB 911s were dirt-cheap. So as a 24-year-old kid now living in Chicago after graduating from Northwestern University who was engaged to his college girlfriend, I found myself in possession of a soon-to-be wife, a new-to-me Porsche, a soon-to-come mortgage with business school bills that would soon follow.

So over Memorial Day weekend in 1992, my fiancée and I flew out to California for a wedding shower that my parents had organized. Most importantly, we were picking up the 911 to road trip back to Chicago. Packing our little 911 to the gills with Crate & Barrel wedding shower gifts (the standard 90s wedding gift source), we headed out on an unforgettable threeday road trip home to Chicago along Highway 80. Despite a few mechanical blips along the way, including a broken shift linkage outside of Salt Lake City, it was an awesome trip and a great way to get introduced to the joys of driving an air-cooled 911. Wanting to make this car part of our family, we immediately nicknamed him “Chester” after “Chester Cheeto,” the bright orange cheetah mascot for Cheetos. Chester immediately fit right into our new life in Chicago, and we loved driving this awesome little car around for the next two years. Then in 1994, just after my wife graduated from law school and while I was still in the middle of getting my MBA, an opportunity came up to move to Paris for a job opportunity that was too good to pass up. So being young and feeling invincible, we sold what we could, rented out our newly bought home in the city, and put Chester in storage for what we thought would be a two-year stint Paris.

SPRING 2022
Well, that two years in Paris turned out to be 13 years stretched between Paris and London, with our twin sons being born in Paris and our youngest son born in London. All the while, Chester patiently sat in storage back in Chicago. Then, after 13 wonderful years overseas, we made our way back to Chicago in 2006 with identical twin 9-yearold boys and a 4-year-old son in tow. With everything going on in those first chaotic years back in the US, I never found the time to get Chester out of storage, as life always seemed to have something more important to take my attention. Five more years passed without even a thought about Chester. Fast forward again to Father’s Day, 2011. My incredible wife Elizabeth, without ever giving anything away, managed to track down Chester’s location through the storage company as the car had been moved a few times over the previous 17 years in storage. She had it pulled out of storage and surprised me with pictures of the car and a card that simply said, “Go Get Chester Back.” Thus began a 10-year path to slowly but steadily get this magnificent little car and all of its family history back on the road and back into our family.
come. Throughout the entire restoration process I’ve tried to balance maintaining everything as original and as authentic as possible while also making Chester fun, safe and reliable to drive. My guiding philosophy has been to restore this awesome piece of our family history back to a Condition 1 car so that I can drive it into a Condition 2 car with my family over the coming years. Chester will never be a garage queen as we plan to regularly drive and fully enjoy this car, which means accepting the inevitable

This car has always been special, not just because of the family heritage, but also because Chester rolled off the production line in Zuffenhausen on February 13, 1968, four days before I was born, basically making us twins. Since Chester was an original, numbers-matching car and in our family since 1973, I wanted to stay true to the authenticity of the car while also updating it to make it drivable and enjoyable for me and my boys for many years to
patina that my family and I will happily put on it together. Once I had pulled Chester out of 17 unintended years of storage, I wanted to get him back on the road ASAP. However, in working with Doug Hillman at VFC Engineering in Chicago, I realized that I needed to do this project right, so I decided to undertake the restoration work in phases so that I could enjoy getting back behind the wheel in between the different stages of work.

The first chunk of work was purely functional just to get back on the road with no bodywork or paintwork. Fortunately, Chester had fared exceptionally well while in storage, which was a pleasant surprise given that I didn’t prep the car at all for such a long storage. Even after unwrapping him after 17 years of neglect, and cleaning him up, I was pleasantly surprised with the state of the body and paint so I decided to focus the first phase of work on simply getting it back on the road. So began the first phase of work that eventually included, among other things, cleaning and sealing the gas tank, rebuilding the
engine, installing new PMO carbs (the original Webers were just too painful to get working properly, but I’ve kept them in case I ever want to go back to them), rebuilding the gearbox, installing a new clutch, refreshing the suspension, putting on new tires, and installing new brakes. Also, since this was a US-delivered car, I removed the original 1968-only smog pump (which I have kept in case I ever want to put it back on for full originality). While this ended up taking a bit longer than I had hoped, it was enough to get me back on the road with Chester in late summer of 2012. That gave me the opportunity to get back behind the wheel of Chester to fully catalogue all the items to attack in the next phase of the restoration work. Over the following years, I took advantage of the periods of winter storage to do a few things on the interior as well. Since my speedo cable had failed, I decided to send out all four gauges and the Kienzle clock to be cleaned and rebuilt by Hollywood Speedo. I also restored the original 420mm VDM wood steering wheel, fixed the heater (as one of the heater valves had broken and was stuck open), and installed a new exhaust. Fast-forward again to 2019. I had been driving the heck out of Chester, storing him indoors for winter, with no major issues on the mechanical side other than a bad starter and replacing the failed original mechanical fuel pump that finally gave up the ghost.

SPRING 2022
North Chicago on a crisp September morning to meet with Tom Snellback at The Last Detail to have a brass-tacks conversation about Chester’s body and paint to determine what my options were. Going over the paint on every panel with a paint meter and after a thorough inspection of the typical rust areas, I was faced with the reality that as much as I wanted to just clean up what I had and enjoy the patina, that just wasn’t the right path for me. So, faced with the combination of more than expected amounts of non-original paint, some older body work that was showing its age, and rust in the usual places for a ‘68, I decided to strip the paint, deal with the rust once and for all, fix all of the
However, the collection of dents, dings, exposed rust and uneven paint finally motivated me to pull the trigger on knocking out the paint and bodywork to complete the total restoration of Chester to bring him back to his full original glory. Knowing that I was just about to lose the window for driving during the fall of 2019, I spent those last weeks of decent weather driving Chester for my 50-mile round trip daily commute from the northern Chicago suburbs down to the city, and it was an absolute blast. This little car just wants to cruise down the road, and the rebuilt engine, gearbox and new PMO carbs made my daily drive the best part of my day. I also dug through the mountains of receipts from my uncle to affirmatively determine exactly how much original paint I actually had on this car. Looking through those 19 years of receipts, bills, and work orders that my uncle meticulously maintained while Chester was under his stewardship from 1973-1992, it turned out that he did more paint and bodywork than I had initially realized. So I took a trip up to
dents and scrapes, and make this a “do it once and do it right” kind of a commitment. Dropping Chester off at The Last Detail in October 2019 kicked off the final phase in Chester’s total restoration. In addition to the paint and bodywork, I also sent all five of my original 5 1/2 x 15 Fuchs wheels to Harvey Weidman for refinishing, installed a new full wiring harness from Kroon, installed a new headliner, and had new door cards made (since, like a dummy, I had installed an Alpine stereo in 1992 and drilled through the door cards to install door speakers making the original door cards unusable). Lastly, I had the original Blaupunkt Frankfurt US radio rebuilt to keep everything 100 percent original, especially since

the serial number of the radio is specifically noted on my Kardex from the factory. The last stop was a beautiful August weekend in 2021 when I finally picked up Chester with one of my sons, Blake, after what turned out to be a 10-year restoration project. Taking the keys from Tom Snellback and Bob Kukla who did such magnificent body and paintwork, I pinged my uncle to let him know that Chester was back on the road and I shot him a few pictures, assuring him that I am continuing to enjoy and care for this car with the same amount of pleasure and pride that I saw him take in his 19-year stewardship of this car. I also promised him that Chester will always stay in our family, and I’ve taught my three sons to drive stick to make sure that they are prepared to take the keys at some point down the road.
So that’s the story on my own self-imposed barn find. After 17 years in storage and a 10-year restoration project, Chester has been found, fully restored, and is again firmly back in our life. Having joined the Early 911S Registry the same day as we pulled Chester out of storage in 2011, I have been inspired by the many stories in the Early 911S Registry forum and in ESSES magazine articles of how these wonderful cars connect people’s lives. Now that I have finally completed Chester’s restoration, I am excited to share the backstory of Chester and how this car has connected our own family for the last 48 years. I want to offer my thanks and gratitude to this wonderful community of Porsche enthusiasts who have shared so many of their own stories in addition to freely sharing their immense wealth of knowledge about these air-cooled classics.
This is a fantastic community connected by a deeply held shared passion, and I consider myself privileged to be part of the air-cooled Porsche brethren.
