Hi All,
I just joined and am searching for information on my Porsche which I may restore or sell. It's registered as a 1966 Porsche 911 and has chassis Nr. 300088, I believe it has the original trans and engine, but I don't know where I can verify this. Any help and advice would be appreciated. I read an earlier post that 89 model 901's were built before Porsche had to change it to 911.
Best Regards,
Larry
Welcome, or maybe it's Aloha!
Firstly, contact your local Porsche Concessionaire armed with your VIN and Engine no and they will provide a Certificate of the car's original attributes.
Secondly you'll need to add some photos here before you raise all merry hell with your tantalising subject and no visual salad to oogle.
Thirdly, prepare for an onslaught of PM's looking to alleviate you of this scourge, 901 #088.
A production of 232 is the generally agreed No for '64 901's. There was a great '64 901 site that I see is down, there was a wealth of info there. Has this been reprised anyone?
Cheers.
Welcome! What is your engine number? It should be pretty close to 900188. May not be exact but if you have one of the first 100 odd engines you can be pretty sure it's correct and in any case Porsche can confirm.

Any photos?

It was the third one completed 1964 11 16, which places it date-wise as a 911 not a 901.
I guess you need to join the 232 Registry for the 1964 constructed cars. Bob Fleming is the guy to contact; I'm sure he will be along very soon.
What is the original paint code and interior color of this car? I have other eng & trans info, but no color info.
Very cool, Larry. Message sent.
Yes, please post photos.
Thanks for all of your very helpful replies. I'll be verifying the serial numbers, and may be able to post some pictures this weekend.
Mahalo!
Larry
Hi,
Thanks for the Welcome and info. I'll be checking the numbers and hopefully they match. I'll see if I can post some pictures this weekend.
Larry
Welcome to the Board and yes, please post some photos for all of us here who are hungry to see them!
DON'T SELL IT!!
Bring it back from the dead and THEN sell it. ;)
Really, though, the vast majority of people here (myself included) would rather see you keep it. Welcome to the board and hurry up with the pictures...please. :)
Thanks,
Update... Color code is 6412 Bali Blue? I checked under the drivers door panel, and is blue. Car is currently painted black, and as I believe I mentioned earlier this is supposed to be my retirement project. Learning more each day!
Thanks everyone for your kind words and help.
Gorgeous color...
Wow, Larry . . . way to join The Board!
Where do the heck do these cars come from?
Love to hear The Story on this . . . where, how, who --- etc
. . . and pictures, pictures, pictures, please
How cool...a Bali blue early 911 in Hawaii...
What color interior? Bali was often combined with interesting interior colors. Leather or vinyl? Anything else interesting?
Headliner is white and the rest is black. When I bought the car it was already painted black.Quote:

Can it be saved?
also the paint code is stamped with 5 digits instead of 4. It reads 64012.Quote:

We have all followed the posts from England about the right hand drive silver 2.2 car that was taken down to the basics and built back - one repaired piece - at a time.
Alan.uk at Canford Classic in a wizard at car restorations. http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...-of-a-RHD-2.2S.
Yes they can be saved. His odyssey is documented in 18 pages on this site.Follow though his "how to" - think your car is in worse condition?
Do I see the little ring thingy under the dash that releases the gas lid? Woo-boy that's the real thing. 1964 only.
This may be easier to read.
It is amazing what can be done to restore this car.
Its got the early,early dash top & excellent radio area............
Yes, it is the original gas lid release. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.Quote:

Better photo of date stamp
Big photos add detail which can be good. For the badge I cropped, rotated and enhanced the colors. To make it even better, you could clean the badge a bit to increase the contrast, and then take a closeup. Some details like this or the ring that Bob mentioned need to be documented in detail. You need to get someone, like John Esposito or Freddie Henandez in California, to evaluate the car and give you a good idea what it will take to restore it.Quote:

That would be entirely up to the owner of the car.Quote:

When did we start believing that we're entitled to know what's going on with another's personal property? And show subtle outrage when they don't showcase or parade it around? It is primarily because of this behavior that I don't post progress on my 300011 car.
Just because you may enjoy broadcasting your life or stuff to the world doesn't mean others are obligated to do it. I'm at a solid "6" on the Twisted/Demented scale to see a guy like this crush his car in front of people like you just to see your head explode. His property; his business. As far as I know old Porsches are not on a historical registry or "protected."
I find this attitude very puzzling. What does this self-appointed Town Crier position do for you anyway?
Frank,
I believe a forum like this is a two-way street. The topic starter did want to get the info, but once he got that disappeared from the site, never sharing anything.
That's his prerogative, but for some people that are genuinely interested in what happens to these cars (me included), it's puzzling and frankly a bit egoistical.
Rather than seeing this a 'Town crier' position, you can also see it as a compliment that some people, even 5 years after someone brought this up, still remembers you and your special car.
Patrick
Just curious Patrick...
Do you think those of us here owe this forum a progress report or current status on our cars?
If not then why do you suppose Rick colored his post with veiled frustration because the happy Hawaiian has gone dark?
Frank, where can I sign up for your life coaching?

Gentlemen...………:rolleyes:
Honestly, Frank, I find your attitude over Rick's 'archival' work to be a bit puzzling: what harm is he doing? Far less than some of your more acerbic/sarcastic posts and comments on other people's posts... I think you definitely need to chill...Quote:

While 011 may be an interesting car, it's not that interesting in Porsches. I would be interested in hearing more about it mainly from the perspective that it is important to you as a member of this community; any attempt by you to minimize the community by your comments I find destructive.
Rower,
I appealed to the world. So yes, I suppose ESR is included in that.
And I happen to agree; 011 isn’t that interesting or important. It’s just a car.
Oh brother...
What this guy does, says regarding his silly car is ALL his business. Not yours or “The Forum’s”.
You all remind me of the government sticking their nose where it don’t belong.

Rick,
Honest question: Before posting publicly last night did you reach out to the owner?
You didn't post a request for information on this website appealing to this community on 011? Perhaps I was mistaken. If not your request wasn't just to the entire world, of course, but targeted.Quote:

Don't you have a filter or an ability to read something in the context with which it was written, or give him the benefit of the doubt if not? It seems petulant and bored to me. I'm not going to watch your youtube. Probably want to Rick Roll me]
I got no fat in this spat but this is quite funny.

I’m going to send a very annoying millennial vlogger out to follow frank to his dad’s old shop where he keeps his hidden treasures he won’t share with us.
Mark, could the rumour be true that you are the.... Darth Vlogger ???
FWIW, there are cultural/regional differences.
What is perceived like a little friendly prod by some will be regarded as borderline harassment (an exaggeration here but you get the point) by others.
Where I live, people are nosy, peek into windows, through doors ajar.
Can't stand it. I'll gladly share with like minded people, but on my terms.
That Rick asks for "bumpdates" sometimes irks me, but the damage is minimal to my (admittedly thin) skin. He feels he has a mission to keep us entertained, and to create a references for these cars, which is laudable.
Peace all.
. . .
;)
.............................
rower,
What is this "filter" you mentioned?
Rick and I have ongoing banter that I should have kept private this time. Mud wrestling between two old guys in Speedos is awkward at best for others to watch. I confess; Rick is like a pimple inside my nose. If I leave it alone it doesn't bother me but the moment I pay it any attention it drives me nuts. I should have let this one go; I started losing control of the room from the get go.
I suspect our Hawaiian has sold 088. I tried emailing but so far no response.
Mark,
As for treasures in pop's old shop... lot's of urban legend with this. My dad is a very conservative, quiet guy and averse to risk. He's a hoarder but all he kept was mostly junk (Candidly some worthwhile junk.) I on the other hand somehow contracted DNA from Attila the Hun and have always taken risks. Beginning about 35 years ago every time Porsche had a "dump sale" for old and obsolete inventory for 10% of dealer cost I would buy as much as I could afford and also forage through classifieds and swap meets. But my old inventory is about as exciting as my 64 901.
One of my top 5 dreams/nightmares is to fake my own death and watch the yard sale from a distance that my poor wife will have to endure.
WHAT WAS THE OP TOPIC ????????
It's getting "Vintage Ex"
Gotta be a dime in this <<<<Quote:
