Vehicle Description
It was September 14, 1965 when Paul and Helen Dickey walked into
Vasek Polak's Porsche dealership in Manhattan Beach, California,
and signed their names on the bottom line for their new Porsche
911. This is the heaviest optioned short wheelbase 911 we have ever
seen with the original bill of sale to back it up! The
documentation from new, the options including A/C is incredible and
the condition is stunning for a virtually unrestored car. Paul's
brother later lamented "I saw Paul's Porsche once, before I moved
from California. His love for that vehicle could only be compared
to the love he had for his wife." Paul's care for the care is
unbelievably well documented. He never worked on the car himself
but only the most trusted of mechanics got the job. The 911 was
serviced at Polak's shop from the day it was new until late 1974.
That was when a few of Vasek's most talented mechanics left him to
open their own shop, something called Andial!
In 1975 Paul's 911 had accumulated 95,000 miles and the original
paint was no longer up to his very particular standards. He went to
one of Southern California's best painters, Big Al Martinez. Al
painted so many Porsche's he printed up a brochure explaining what
was involved and the difference between lacquer and enamel, as well
as custom touches available in 1975. The bare metal re-paint came
out to almost $3,000, a huge sum back in 1975. The condition of
that paint today is the true testament to its quality. I could
continue with a few more decades of history on this 911 but this
car really needs to be seen to be believed. This is the best
documented early 911 we've seen.
