I'm with you Frank... I think it's interesting. Almost the non-911. Automatic, AC, non-Fuchs. Someone maybe loved this car a whole lot. Oh, and due to a recent birthday I too can produce aforementioned 50 yr old gases.Quote:

Anyone know what brand those rear defroster tubes are? Those are the best repro I've seen yet.
Although it indicates a private seller, the description sounds broker/dealer . . .

Seller's Description:
One of the early short wheelbase, wood-dash 911s. Factory Kardex plus Porsche Certificate Of Authenticity. Production date of May 25, 1966, original engine (#907920) and transmission (231331) per Kardex. This 911 has been superbly preserved rather than restored. Not the typical barn find which has been left neglected and unmaintained in a damp garage, or worse yet out of doors, what you see here is an original, unrestored car. It is being sold by it's third owner, who purchased the car on September 4, 1970, with 38,000 miles. Current mileage is 92,000, entirely documented. Kardex shows original selling dealer, first owner, and early services. It has had one glass-out repaint to a very high standard in 2000, and then was more or less put into storage until 2015 (having been driven 545 miles in the interim). At that point it was taken out of hibernation and turned over to respected AutoSportsystems Group of Fairfax, VA for a thorough no-expense-spared re-commissioning.
This important early 911 ticks every box: With the exception of the paint everything you look at is original, including the rare red leatherette with Pepita Cloth insert interior. Factory-delivered options include Blaupunkt “New York” 3 band radio (it works!) and loudspeaker, antenna, safety lap belts, “Webasto” heater, 2 headrests, and bumper horns front and rear. It is sold with a documented service history going back to 1969, all the original owners manuals and pamphlets, the original tool kit with tire gauge, plus the original jack. The lead weights that were concealed in the front bumper at the Factory are still in place. The condition of the paint remains beyond criticism, and the body has micrometer-perfect panel gaps. The car is in turn-key condition, in use, and can be driven anywhere right now; take it on a long-distance road rally, or to a Porsche Club concours event.
If you are a no-nonesense buyer who prefers the appearance, over-the-road feel, sound, and scent that can only be found in an original car, then you will appreciate this distinctly unique 60-year-old 911.
Can be seen outside of Washington, DC in Northern Virginia, adjacent to Dulles International Airport.

1965 Porsche Barn Find on eBay
1965 Porsche 911 chassis # 301845 is offered on eBay with the claim "The car was just discovered in a barn where it sat since 1990."
The car appears to be largely unmolested and still has its Solex carburetors. On the other hand, the paint's peeling off. There's other work required...
The hockey puck horn button looks nice.
The starting bid's US $115,000 at http://www.ebay.com/itm/162391093543?rmvSB=true
The seller is Finest Euro Classics in Laguna Hills, CA.
Anyone familiair with this car?
http://m.ebay.com/itm/112307188568?_...:3&_mwBanner=1
The seller has been an eBay member since 13 February 2017 and he doesn't know the car's chassis number. This might just be a scam...Quote:

Here's some serious rust. It's a 1967 BaT car.

Auction Description:
This 1967 Porsche 911 is a short-wheelbase coupe project that retains its original 2.0-liter flat six and a 4-speed manual transmission. The car is being sold on behalf of its current owner, who reportedly purchased it from a family member in 1998 and drove it until 2004, when it was parked due to a frozen throttle shaft. Though largely complete, it has been sitting outdoors since and will require full restoration including extensive rust repair as detailed below. The car is sold with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity verifying the matching engine along with a clean Oklahoma title in the owner’s name. Exterior sheet metal has been repainted in white over its original Polo Red and appears mostly straight, but bubbling and holes in its lower extremities hint at the extensive corrosion lurking beneath. Rust-through is pervasive in the rockers, floors, lower doors, spare tire well, and other areas as detailed below. Glass appears intact throughout, though the windshield is fogged at the corners, while plastic lenses are cracked and in need of replacement. Later plastic sideview mirrors have been fitted in place of the single chrome original item, and trim is pitted or otherwise showing its age. Factory 15″ chromed wheels are rusty and peeling, though all four polished hub caps are present.
Door jambs appear relatively solid, while floors exist only in partial form and the rear parcel shelf is heavily corroded. Stock seats and door panels are retained inside, and the rest of the interior appears mostly complete aside from carpets. Optional 911S combination gauges feature the green lettering available for the last time in 1967. Simple switchgear looks mostly accounted for along with interior trim, though most pieces are in need of restoration. Remnants of a dealer-installed air conditioner are mounted beneath the dash and the rest of the system has been partially removed. A 1970s tape deck has replaced the original tri-band Blaupunkt radio, which is also included and photographed in the gallery below. The front storage compartment appears largely complete but shows a similar level of corrosion from heavy surface rust aft of the fuel tank to major perforation of the front corners and spare tire well. A nearly complete factory toolkit is included in the sale.
The numbers-matching 2.0-liter flat six is said to be complete but has not been run in over ten years. Stock-looking Weber downdrafts remain fitted and are topped with a period Mann air cleaner assembly. The engine is mated to a type 902/0 4-speed manual gearbox that appears appropriate for the car but bears a different number stamp than that listed on the Certificate of Authenticity. No heat exchangers are present and exhaust headers are rusted through on at least one side.
