Porsche 911 Coupe over a 2.5 year period from 2015 to 2018. During

The early 911 holds a special place in Porsche history, not only as
a sales success but also as an icon of minimalist automotive
design. It remains a beloved vehicle today, and a well-restored and
properly maintained 911, such as this example, is on the wish list
of nearly every car enthusiast the world over. This status has also
contributed to a meteoric rise in desirability for these cars, as
they lead the charge for all 356s and 911s that are gaining
momentum in the marketplace. Simply put, no important collection
would be complete without a proper early 911, as it is an equal in
automotive design and history as the California Spider and 300 SL,
but it further benefits from practicality and ease of use, which
makes it as perfect for running errands as handling twisty mountain
roads. Motoring enthusiasts new to the classic car world are well
served to acquire a "blue chip" Porsche such as this.
History of the 2.0-litre 911/ O Series (1964-1967)
The earliest editions of the 911 had an air-cooled, rear-mounted,
2.0L (1991 cc) 130 PS (96 kW) flat-6 "boxer" engine, similar to the
356's four-cylinder 1.6L unit. It was mated to a five-speed manual
"Type 901" transmission. The car had 2+2 seating, though the rear
is very small, also like the 356. The styling was largely by
Ferdinand "Butzi" Porsche, son of Ferdinand "Ferry" Porsche. Erwin
Komenda, the leader of the Porsche car body construction
department, was also involved in the design.
