CPR Classic is delighted to offer this lovely 1965 Porsche 911 finished in its original color combination of Signal Red over a black interior. This example underwent a complete, ground-up restoration by DNA Motorsports of Miramar, California.

This 1965 911 began restoration at DNA and was completely disassembled to the bare tub. The car was stripped of its existing paint and all necessary metal repair and metal replacement was performed. Following metal, the car was placed in heavy primer and then meticulously blocked to ensure laser-straight levels of finish on all panels. All gaps were set to factory tolerances during the process. Following detailed preparation, the car was refinished in its correct shade of Signal Red.

Following paint, the car entered assembly where it was reassembled utilizing its correct original parts. Correct hardware has been used throughout. The suspension was fully restored including new surface finishes and bushings. The bright work was polished and re-chromed. Items like the brake calipers are original restored and the car retains its complete Webasto gas heating system. Exterior components are a mix of originals and very high-quality reproductions.

The engine was fully overhauled in-house at DNA Motorsports and is a correct 1965 unit. The engine has its correct Solex carburetors. Hardware is clear zinc plated throughout. The fuel pump is the correct double diaphragm-style run from the camshaft nut. The airbox is the correct, taller example. It starts, idles, and drives as it should.

The interior was refinished in its correct black vinyl and the car still has its correct interior components throughout to include the original wooden steering wheel.
