Vehicle Description
This '65 911 would be a great starting point for your restoration,
or simply go through the mechanicals perhaps a few interior touches
and drive your favorite roads. Without a doubt, dialed in Solex
carburetors mounted atop the 2.0 liter is the top driving
experience for many Porsche enthusiasts world wide. If you're a fan
of the 911 over the past 50 plus years, and haven't experienced
where it began, you need to. Certainly the SWB 911s have become
valuable/collectable, and for good reason, but it doesn't always
have to be that high dollar original or concurs restored 911.
One of the most iconic and recognizable vintage sports car,
Porsche's first generation 911 has become a must for collectors and
Porschefiles alike. Every book and article has been written by the
elite automotive minds, all the content you could ever read to
learn about the history, details, specifications, etc. of the '65
911. What hasn't been written (unless named Wolfgang, Hans Peter,
McQueen, Seinfeld, Zwart, Magnus, etc.) is the feeling we all have
walking up to and getting in this simple sports car, our feeling as
we drive, and our feeling when we park that leads to us wanting
more. There is a lot to be said for no computers, wood steering
wheel and dash, 4.5" wheels, 901 5 speed transmission, all powered
by the legendary 2.0 liter 130 hp engine.
Chassis 302161 certainly deserves to be on the road, and driven by
someone ready to create memories in a legendary 911.
