Here is a rare opportunity to own a never rusted or never accident beautiful early 911. These cars are hard to find in any condition much less a California rust free example with all original panels rockers floor and trunk floor! great gaps super straight. This car was stripped to bare metal and the metal was cleaned and many photographs taken at that stage. It was metal etched primed then metal finished . This car has barely any filler anywhere! It was urethane primed blocked and painted in the wonderful original Irish green and clearcoated. It was color sanded to a flat mirror finish that is deep and pure gloss.
It has new seats headliner and dash. The wood is untouched and the best looking dash ever put in a 911 .
The brakes were rebuilt and work excellent. The original dated 1965 trans shifts great no noises . New seals all around some pieces new rechrome The chrome around side windows is original but not bad.
The engine is a 1970 2.2 with zeniths. No leaks! The oil pressure is a steady 60 pounds and the compression is a around 150 psi. It does smoke a little and the carbs do run smooth sometimes . It is could use a set of Webers and toss the zeniths. I have a line on a 66 case and my intention was to build a 2.7 aluminum case engine but other priorities have got in the way of that.
These early hand made 911's will continue to rise in value with out a doubt. The 65 is identical in almost every detail but they were mostly European delivery . The 66 was the one you could find at the dealer if you could find one at all. I am always more fond of the coupe the Targa has only 60 percent torsional stiffness of the coupe . It took the factory till the 80's to come up with the right combination of reinforcements to build the cabriolet which we all love.
I can send additional pictures of specific areas if needed.
I reserve the right to end the auction early if a deal is made before auction ends.
Thankyou for looking!

Porsche acquires Kyalami race track at auction
Mon, 28 Jul 2014With more victories under its belt than any other manufacturer, you could say, in a figurative sense at least, that Porsche owns countless numbers of race tracks around the world. But here we're not talking about figuratively owning a track - we're talking about literally buying one. And Porsche has just bought Kyalami.
Kylamai, for those unfamiliar, is a grand prix circuit near Johannesburg in South Africa. Between 1967 and 1985, and again in '92 and '93, it was home to the South African Grand Prix, and has since hosted a variety of local and lower-level international races, but apparently fell on hard times. As a result, the track's owners - listed as Universal Property Professionals - put it up for auction. Bidders had to deposit four million Rand (about $380k) to participate, but after just 50 seconds, the auction was over.
The winning bid was placed - via telephone from the local press launch for the Macan - by Porsche South Africa CEO Toby Venter, who bid a reported 205 million rand (about $19.5 million) to take over the complex. The German automaker's South African division reportedly intends to keep the track open for racing, but could also be expected to use the facility for testing, customer track days and such moving forward.
2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
Fri, 19 Jul 2013I don't care who you are; when a new Porsche 911 rolls up in your driveway, that's a pretty good day. This was my very first experience with Porsche's 991 911, and after having spent time with just about every tune and trim of the last car, I was hotly anticipating comparing and contrasting.
Somehow (I don't remember sending out any cash-filled, unmarked envelopes) I'd scored a week in the 911 Carrera 4S over a long holiday weekend, too. That meant that I'd get to A) log a ton of miles in one of the best cars in the world, B) get to show-off the Porsche to family and friends and C) tempt cops in three states to pull me over. Good thing I've got the Autoblog traffic lawyer on speed dial...

Porsche unlocks secrets of its mid-engine 911
Fri, 23 May 2014Porsche is beginning to realize that it's sitting on a goldmine of automotive history with its secret vault full of rare cars. Autoblog toured it a few months ago, and we were amazed at all of the curiosities hidden inside. Now, it's starting to let more folks in thanks to a new series of YouTube videos. The first covered the 965 prototype that shoved a water-cooled, Audi V8 into one of its cars. Next up, a mid-engine 911 that acted as the powertrain test mule for the Boxster.
The Porsche 911 is inextricably linked to its rear-engine layout. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. However, at the time Porsche was developing the Boxster, the company didn't want to lay all of its cards out of the table during testing. As opposed to using camouflage, it put a whole different car on top. The prototype looked just like any other 911 Targa of the day, but the biggest giveaway that something was amiss was the heavily tinted rear window. By obscuring it, inquisitive journalists couldn't peak at the new engine that replaced the backseat.
It might not look like anything too important on the outside, but this is a major piece of Porsche Boxster history underneath. Scroll down to watch the video about this fascinating prototype.
