Complete photos, videos, and inspection report available at
www.ClassicPromenade.com. This is a very well preserved early 1967
Porsche 911 Short Wheel Base (build date 7/6/1966) which has been
owned by our client, the 4 th owner, for some time. He has been a
longtime member of the Classic Car Club of America and has enjoyed
a beautiful collection of important cars. With the exception of a
repaint, this 911 is completely original and a survivor. This 911
has spent much of its early life in and around the Midwest. In the
early 90s, the second owner (names have been kept private at the
sellers request) purchased the car and enjoyed it for spirited
driving on fair weather days. The third owner and current owner
also used the car on various driving events and enjoyed it as it
was intended to be used. Long winding country roads, cruise nights,
and a lot of winding down at the end of a work day. Today, this 911
has 98,000 original miles. The Sand Beige Paint code (6607) is the
original color, however this 911 was repainted by the second owner.
In full transparency, the repaint is not a top quality job, as
there is evidence of poor paint prep before the silver was applied.
Any avid Porsche collector and enthusiast will eventually want to
have the car refinished to its original livery, but will certainly
want to enjoy it as is for a time. This 911 has been very well
cared for and driven very little over the course of its life, as
evidenced by its comparatively low mileage. Since being in the care
of the present owner, this 911 has been very well cared for and
driven on a regular basis. Interestingly, this is one of the very
few 911s to come with dealer installed factory headrests. These
very rare OEM parts, along with the Sand Beige color make this
Porsche a very unusual, though very interesting 911. Further
speaking to the originality of the car, the hood emblem and rear
deckled lettering are also original, parts which are not easy to
find. Likewise, the outstanding originality of the interior is
worth noting and will be touched on more, shortly. This 911 has
been well maintained and preserved throughout its life. Though
certainly more of a drivers quality, rather than show car right
now, this Porsche would benefit greatly from a proper paint job and
detailing. A close examination of the photos will show there are
several spots of bubbling under the paint, the result of amateur
paint prep, and orange peel is present on some of the painted
surfaces. However, with matching numbers and all original
components, this 911 has a very solid foundation. It is the perfect
candidate for restoration, or can simply be enjoyed as an accident
and rust free survivor car that can be driven every day. Most
important on a Porsche of this vintage, the chassis is rust free
(with minimal normal surface corrosion present) with much of its
factory undercoating still present. Nonetheless, it is in nice
condition today for touring and general use. Beyond the paint, the
body and exterior aesthetics of this 911 are very nice. The badges
and lettering are clear, all body panels line up properly, and the
chrome and glasswork are in excellent shape. The bumpers and their
inserts are correct and original. Likewise all lighting components
are clear, clean, and function properly, and include the very
desirable factory fog lamps. The roof rack is believed to be a
dealer option but could also be a close facsimile of a period roof
rack that was a dealer installed option. The racks frame and wooden
slats are in excellent shape and give the car a very European
sporting look to it. However the car and the rack came together,
were big fans! The interior is overall a very well preserved and
original example. The attractive Beige Leatherette seats with black
carpet and dash are tasteful and without any cracks or abrasion.
The dash, door panels and headliner are in overall very good
condition. The front seats are without rips or stains and remain
soft and supple. Nearly all interior components work as they
should, including all instrumentation. You will even notice the
seldom seen Porsche tissue dispenser installed and the optional
radio antenna, as well as two aftermarket speakers mounted in the
driver and passenger footwell. The 2.0L air-cooled flat 6 cylinder
engine made 130hp for the 1967 model year, and this particular 911
has no problem enjoying every bit of it. In typical Porsche
fashion, the power delivery is smooth and effortless, while the
transmission shifts and operates as it should. The overall
mechanical condition of this 911 is very good. At one point there
was a dual aftermarket exhaust installed on the car (see photos
with roof rack). The original exhaust has been reinstalled, however
the dual kit does come with the car. For details and information,
