Vehicle Description
This early matching-numbers 911 has been beautifully restored
inside and out. The exterior was stripped to bare metal, the
necessary rust work performed, and elegantly finished light ivory
while the exterior trim, seals and gaskets were replaced or
refurbished as necessary. A new black interior was installed, with
the seats neatly accented by houndstooth inserts. The wood-paneled
dash and steering wheel was refurbished as well, as was the period
Blaupunkt radio. The matching-numbers 2.0-liter 6-cylinder engine
and 5-speed manual transmission were gone through, and an
MSD-triggered ignition system was installed with stock points. A
new SSI exhaust system was fitted, and the optional Webasto heater
was restored, although it has not been operated with gasoline yet.
The Porsche retains the original cast-iron weights in the front
bumper corners, originally installed by dealers to improve the
handling of the early short-wheelbase cars. This early 911 has been
driven less than 1,300 miles since the restoration work was
performed, and rides on correct type silver-painted steel wheels
with chrome hubcaps. The Porsche includes its Certificate of
Authenticity, restoration photos, a correct tool kit and jack, and
features the optional rear seat delete unit.
