Sunroof SWB Solex 911's aren't dropping from the sky. I did a search on this thread back to the beginning and found only 3. That's 10 years and a lot of cars coming and going from all over world and we know know there are a couple of members who spend a lot of time posting these cars. This car checked a lot of boxes for me, even considering a moderate to extensive resto would be required. Supply/Demand economics at play here. Great color combo also..
Add $20,000+ cost for complete restored Solex setup. The cost of the needed "stuff" adds up and quickly ! Thanks.

PCAR Description:
We are pleased to present this 1966 911 Coupe finished in factory Polo Red for auction. This early 1966 example was originally delivered to Bud Clark VW in Dearborn, Michigan before being purchased by its third and current owner in 1973. Boasting a collector-grade presence, a clean bill of health, and extensive service records this is an excellent opportunity to own one of the world's most iconic sports cars. It is now being offered for auction with 87k miles showing on the odometer by its owner of nearly 50 years in Michigan.
Brought down to bare metal and fully resprayed in the 1980’s, this 911 is finished in its original color of Polo Red. The exterior of this vehicle is stated to be exceptionally clean, showing virtually no blemishes or imperfections. This 911 is also said to be rust-free and retain all original body panels with the exception of the bumpers. This 911 rides on its original 15” disc-brake chrome-plated wheels which come wrapped in BF Goodrich tires.
The black interior in this 911 shows to be in excellent condition. An upgraded radio has been installed and remains the only modification to this otherwise stock and highly original example. The seats are free of tears or excessive wear and the dashboard is free of cracks typically present in early model cars. All accessories and electrical systems are said to be in proper working order including the factory-optioned Webasto Heater. This is truly a well-preserved 911.
This 911 retains its original normally aspirated 2.0L flat-six engine that is capable of producing 130HP and 129 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a desirable 5-speed manual transmission. Extensive service records will show that this vehicle has been properly maintained throughout its life. Recent maintenance items addressed in this 911 include a full fluid service, adjusted carburetors, adjusted valves, new spark plugs, and new wiring. The engine is said to be in excellent running condition.
The sale will include extensive service records, all factory books, two keys, original tool kit, and spare tire. Not too often does an opportunity present itself to acquire an early 911 in such well-preserved condition.

Nit-picky, but those look like wider than 4-1/2".

Auction Description:
Sold new in the Netherlands
Restored example
Offered in original colour, Polo Red
Odometer Reading: 100
MOT Expiry: Exempt
Delivered new to Porsche, Netherlands this 911SWB has spent much of its life in Europe and has recently been treated to a comprehensive restoration by marque specialists. Included in the restoration was a re-paint to the original colour, Polo red 6802, as well as a renovation of the engine and gearbox. A new black leatherette interior was also fitted. Reported to be in very good driving condition the engine bay and body work are equally impressive, with impeccable shut lines, the chrome bumpers being factory-standard aligned. Under the bonnet the engine bay maintains the theme with very clean paint and highly presentable ancillaries. Sitting inside is almost a time-traveller experience back to when this car was showroom-fresh, the trim, door cards and dashboard all present well and with the recently renewed underpinnings it makes for a very pleasant drive. Few 911s of this era are restored to such a level, and this example having been meticulously renovated would be at home in any serious collection. Offered with a sizeable history file including sundry invoices.
