I forward this Thread to the Porsche restorer and he answer me the following.
Faresi, is funny how the pictures are from all different car colors, except the silver metallic, which is what they are claiming to be, LOL. Faresi, in 50 years, most unfortunate Porsches have gone through a lot of changes and owners, I have had quite a few of these poor cars go through my restoration shop in the past 30 years, then, once we receive the Certificate of Authenticity of the car from Porsche, the current owners, find out the real original color and original color plate of their car. This is why I, (only) go by the information I get directly from Porsche and nothing else.
Faresi, Go to this link, and stroll down to page 36, there you will see the factory Porsche color charts for 1965, 1966, 1967 etc. You will see that for 1964 and 1965 911's, Porsche, they did (not) offer the Silver Metallic color, they started to offer the Silver Metallic color for their 911's in 1966. This is why is very possible that Porsche made your car and used it as there exhibition car for the 1965 auto conventions world wide or for USA, so consumers can see it in the 1965 car shows, and order the Silver Metallic color for the 1966 model year.
Also the dates match, Porsche stopped manufacturing of the 356 on April 30th 1965 and they had manufacture your Silver Porsche in early May of 1965.

Faresi, below is the link for the Porsche Museum in Germany, you will see that most of the Porsches are silver, There is the picture of the first Porsche, it was a 1948 356 model, this model was produced until April of 1965 and replaced by the 911, notice that there are all types of cars, but there is (no 1965 silver 911), why? because, is very possible that your car is the first silver 911 that Porsche made, after the last silver 356 that they made, because the manufacturer completion date was about the same time they stopped manufacturing the 356. I have already order the full history report on your car from Porsche of Germany and also from the DMV here, they both said it will take a few months to get.
We now have to just wait..................................
Faresi, I already know for a fact, that your car is the first silver 911 made after the last silver 356 Porsche was made, this I know for sure, because of the manufacture dates, and once we receive the full history from Porsche, and your car is in did the first Silver Metallic 911 ever made, and Porsche did use it as their exhibition car, then, my friend............ Porsche Museum would want it, or a car collector, Faresi, Museum cars are priceless! 7 digits, Because, if Steve McQueen's 1970 Porsche 911, sold in Aug 2011 in Monterey CA,for $1,375,000. USD, just because it was own by a celebrity. I think Porsche would want it for their Museum, to put it next to their forerunner 356 silver Porsche that sits in their Museum, this silver 356 is priceless, is definitely worth millions.
Or I deal with top car collectors from all over the world, and I know they would want it for their collection. I deal with a collector that has over 700 cars, he is a Billionaire. So my friend let's cross our fingers and hope this is the first 911 silver Porsche that is missing in their Porsche Museum.
