Current customer rating: (286 votes ) based onThe first series Porsche 911 featured an all new 2. 0 liter 6 cylinder engine that was a departure from earlier Porsche models. The 911 became a strong candidate for competition events worldwide. Sebring being a part of the 'Big Four' (Challenge Mondial De Vitesse Et D' Endurance). nbsp;was the first leg of the World's Series Challenge. The other 3 of the big four were Targa- Florio ( Italy) . Nurburgring 1. 00 Kms ( Germany). and Le Mans 24 Hour race ( France).

The result of the restoration is stunning and the car looks like new. The engine is the original matching number engine with its very rare original 3 barrel Solex carbs. The car features all of its original sheet metal as well as its original floors. Most of the early P cars have rotted away and no longer can make such claims.
