Auction Description:
130 bhp, 1,991 cc SOHC air-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with dual Solex carburetors, five-speed manual transmission, independent front and rear suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes Wheelbase: 87 in.
- An incredibly original, never restored or repainted, short-wheelbase early 911
- Original matching-numbers drivetrain; completely original interior
- Includes factory owner’s manual, Certificate of Authenticity, and copy of the factory Kardex
The Porsche 911 brought the Stuttgart automaker into a new era when it was introduced in 1965 as the larger and more powerful successor to the much-loved four-cylinder Type 356. Styled largely by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the 911 was powered by a new 2.0-liter, dry-sumped, air-cooled flat six that developed 130 horsepower at 6,100 rpm. Combined with a new five-speed manual transaxle, the relatively light 911 could achieve a 0–60 time below nine seconds and a top speed of about 130 mph.
Offered here is a Polo Red (code 6602) 1965 911 coupe with a Black leatherette interior. Its chassis number indicates that it was built prior to July of 1965, though the factory Kardex and Certificate of Authenticity show a delivery date of November 29, suggesting it remained with the factory for a while. From the factory, it was equipped with a Webasto gas heater, Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio with speaker and antenna, and a set of Phoenix tires.
The car was then delivered to Mr. Roy Hagedorn, of Teaneck, New Jersey; it then passed to Mr. Carl J. Demore Jr., of Ellington, Connecticut. He in turn sold it in June of 1983 to Mr. Paul Virostek, of nearby Kensington. Beginning January 1, 1994, with the odometer reading 90,424, the owner began recording the car’s annual mileage in the owner’s manual, which shows the car was driven quite sparingly over the years. In April 1999, the engine was rebuilt by KAM Motorsports in Waterbury, Connecticut. Along the way, the Porsche was also fitted with a set of correctly-date-stamped factory chrome wheels.
The consignor, an avid Porsche collector, acquired the car in late 2013 in California. He notes that the car is untouched and completely original inside and out. As such, it still wears all of its original paint, interior, and even its wood-trimmed steering wheel. It is supplied with a correct spare wheel, jack, and tool roll, as well as a factory owner’s manual. Unmolested, early short-wheelbase 911s such as this example are much sought after by Porsche enthusiasts today.
As the adage goes, “It is only original once.”

The next records available to Auctions America are dated from August 14, 2014 to February 19, 2015 and total $48,598 – these appear to be for primarily cosmetic refreshing, repaint and select mechanical work by Porsche specialist Graham Everett Motorsport, LLC in Braselton, Georgia, next to Road Atlanta.

Recognized as one of the greatest pure driving machines ever produced; in its iconic and most desirable early form, this 911 from 1965 will continue to provide ample evidence of the pure Porsche concept that continues to permeate the current generation of 911 models some 50-plus years later. With quickening collector attention on these early short-wheelbase cars, this outstanding example delivers an excellent occasion to obtain one of these very special machines. It is the perfect choice for the judicious Porsche collector seeking a highly sought-after example.

Auction Description:
This 1965 short-wheelbase Porsche 911 was discovered by word-of-mouth, complete but very used-up. Fortunately, it landed at an early Porsche specialty restoration shop in Northern California, where it was brought back to original condition. The car's earliest history is unknown, but based on a number of European-specification parts found on the car, it is likely that its first owner was an American serviceman in Germany who later brought it home. A few bits of paperwork suggest it made its way to Alabama before coming to the west coast. This 911 coupe was the 620th Porsche 901/911 produced, completed on the 10th of March, 1965. This car represents an early example of the 50th anniversary 911 cars in North America.
This car's Certificate of Authenticity says it was originally finished in 6404 Light Ivory, and trimmed in black leatherette with an off-white headliner. The seats had black-and-white Pepita (houndstooth) fabric center inserts. The dashboard was fitted with a handsome mahogany veneer insert, and the alloy-framed steering wheel was rimmed in mahogany. As was a common practice, the car was ordered with a "radio package" that included an antenna, static suppressor, and a speaker, but not an actual radio, which was usually installed by the delivering dealer to avoid theft when the car was in transit. Also noted on the COA were a Webasto gas-fired heater and a set of Dunlop 165/125 tires.
At 901Werks in Crockett, California, the body shell was mounted in a rotisserie and all necessary metalwork undertaken, including replacement of the front pan, floors, and longitudinals. All the brightwork was either re-plated or polished, and all anodized parts were properly refinished. The shell was resprayed its original color, and new body seals installed, along with a new and correct Sigla windshield. The Webasto gas heater was restored cosmetically, but is inoperative due to safety concerns. To further the dedication to period correct and modern safety, the original Nadella axels have been replaced with modern CV's and are included with the car.
The original Type 901/01 engine was completely rebuilt. This air-cooled, dry-sumped boxer six is rated at 130 horsepower at 6100 rpm and 128 foot-pounds of torque at 4200, quite adequate in this light-weight automobile. The Type 901 five-speed transaxle with its "dog-leg" shift pattern was overhauled. The suspension system and disc brakes were completely rebuilt, and the myriad of small trim parts required to bring this fine early 911 back to its original state were located and installed. All five chrome-plated steel wheels are correctly date-stamped and appear original.
Supplied with owner's manuals, a correct jack and tool roll, this beautifully-restored example of Porsche's highly sought-after first-generation 911 may be the finest available. The early 911 is considered by many enthusiasts as the purest of the company's air-cooled sports cars. This one would be a worthy addition to any serious Porsche collection, ready to show or simply to drive and enjoy.

Seller's Description:
100% original 1968 Porsche 911.
Has not been run in over 20 years. Total time capsule. Perfect original interior. All original Irish green paint, with some scuff and scratches, but never any touch up. All original panels. Matching numbers 2.0L motor and 901 5-speed gearbox. Original weber carbs and rare 68-only smog pump, all still there. This car would be the perfect candidate for a "sympathetic restoration". Original options include; chrome wheels, Blaupunk stereo, and wood steering wheel. All numbers and options verified by COA. Still wearing period Michelin XAS tires and all 5 date-coded wheels. I cannot stress how original this car is, nothing changed, no metal work or modifications. Floor pan and suspension pan are in great condition. Torsion tube and rockers do have some rust. It is suspected the car was garaged its entire life, but driven in some weather, hence the rockers and torsion tube rust. Ive been quoted $5k to remedy all rust. This is a very good SWB 911 that can be enjoyed as-is with little effort, or easily restored into a museum piece. Owners manual and partial tool kit included. Great compression in all 6 cylinders, 150-160 psi. I would bet the motor would fire and run, but have not tried. Should need a carb rebuild at minimum. All lights and electrical seem to work. Starter turns motor and was very cooperative when we checked compression. Original Bendix fuel pump. Ill stop saying the word "original" now, as I could go on for days... Clean CA title in my name and non-op status currently.
No 'S' was made in 1968 for the US, so it was this 'normal' version and the 'L', both same motors, but the L got the S trim. About the same amount were built and are very low numbers. Many prefer the more stripped version of the 'normale' as opposed to the 'L' since it still had the most powerful motor (130hp) but had less trim than the L. Very similar car to the 64-67 911 normal cars, but with 1968 updates such as dual circuit brakes.
Looking for serious cash buyers at $59k firm. No rush to sell and will keep if I don't. I won't get into SWB 911 prices, if you are looking at this, you know they are going through the roof. This is an honest original car than can be enjoyed for much less than 100k. Just sad it has been sitting in my back yard for so long with no love.
