    Looking for any history for my MY66

    Hi and thank you for the great forum! I have my 1965, MY66 911 without complete history records and I have been wondering if anyone might have any info about it from years 1965 to 1992.

    The little I have sorted out this far:

    First owner was Henry C. Boschen from 2 Richbell road Scarsdale, New York.
    https://www.google.fi/maps/@40.99597...Xw!2e0!6m1!1e1
    The car war ordered with Black paint and Red Leatherette interior etc.


    From there I have not yet been able to sort out more than this sticker on the cars window. It was imported to Finland in 1992 and it is believed to been red during that time. I have history records from 1992 to current well sorted but for me major part of the old cars and the hobby around them is to sort out their history. If you have any clues where to start with sorting out the unknown time, please let me know. Yes, there is a fingerprint in the stickers glue surface but that is a bit too far of

    More clues available as I have met the person who imported the car. It took few years but we met almost by accident when I bought some parts and mentioned about the car I am installing them It has white paint with very distinguishable striping before it was re-painted to original black. Stripes went all around the car. Does anybody happen to know if that was some certain companys trademark? I will also get the USA registration papers hopefully tomorrow so that I can see the name of the last seller.

    Might want to try this thread. Pin striping would be consistent with American hot rods. Looks like somebody name Del Rio was still around in 2011. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...o-bros.351205/

    I was able to trace Tony Del Rio´s grandson via facebook: Fremont Dragstrip (Baylands Raceway). Tony has past away, but his brother Wayne is still with us and AJ Del Rio-Close promised to show the photos to his unkle! Internet is kind a weird, 15 minutes from the point when I saw your reply I was already speaking to the grandson of the former owner/mechanic of the car! He told me that hey did a lot pinstriping back in the days and most likely also this one.
