The original Porsche 911 (pronounced nine eleven. German: Neunelfer) was a luxury sports car made by Porsche AG of Stuttgart. Germany. The famous. distinctive. and durable design was introduced in autumn 1963 and built through 1989. It was succeeded by a modified version. internally referred to as Porsche 964 but still sold as Porsche 911. as are current models.

Mechanically. the 911 was notable for being rear engined and air-cooled. From its inception the 911 was modified both by private teams and the factory itself for racing. rallying and other types of automotive competition. The original 911 series is often cited as the most successful competition car ever. especially when its variations are included. mainly the powerful 911-derived 935 which won 24 Hours of Le Mans and other major sports cars races outright against prototypes.

This early short-wheelbase 911 is documented by Kardex as being finished in Irish Green (6606 B) with a black vinyl interior. It is recorded as having a delivery date from the factory of April 4. 1966 with a delivery date to the dealer of record. Competition in Culver City. California. The buyer is then illustrated as Aero V. W. . Inc. at 1019 West Manchester Inglewood. California. The most recent owner of the Porsche has had the car for the past 10 years. and he recently had the 2. 0-liter. 130-hp flat six-cylinder engine rebuilt by Power Tech in New Jersey. where is also received a general tune-up. Among the shown options from the factory in period were tinted glass and Webasto heater. Additional features include having its original interior. dual rearview mirrors. proper wheels with center caps and blackwall tires. A set of factory tools accompany the car.

Paint is in good order. but is an older paintjob with some patina and the odd mark. There are a few dents in the body (most notably on the hood at the front). but none of the usual rust burning through the paint. The underside shows the car to be very dry and in fairly original condition. The engine is incredibly clean as it was rebuilt not long ago.

These short-wheelbase wood dashboard face. wood steering wheel. early 2. 0L 911s are incredibly desirable. It is really nice to find one in this condition with a rebuilt engine and in the very period appropriate color of Irish Green. These first series Porsche 911 appear to be a great longterm purchase as prices continue to rise for the entire aircooled 911 production.
