The Porsche 911 was the built to replace its predecessor, the 356.
It debuted at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show as a non-operational
mockup. It was originally designated as the "Porsche 901" - of
which 82 examples were eventually built. However, Peugeot protested
on the grounds that in France it had exclusive rights to car names
by three numbers with a zero in the middle. So, instead of selling
the new model with another name in France, Porsche changed the name
to 911. Internally, the cars' part numbers carried on the prefix of
901 for years. Production began in September 1964 with the first
911's reaching American shores in February 1965 with a base price
of approximately $6,500.
The exterior of the 911 is finished in a special color of Sienna
Metallic. The outside of the car has factory wheels and is equipped
with the desirable sunroof. Powering this German masterpiece is a
2.7-liter flat six-cylinder engine that is married to a five-speed
manual transmission. The interior is finished in tan; and the front
seats are covered with two-tone upholstery. The Porsche is fitted
with complete instrumentation, newer stereo unit and air
conditioning.
In 1977, there was only 3,388 Porsche 911S Coupes produced. This
Porsche represents the brand very well and is equipped with a
desirable engine, a sunroof and was built in limited production.
