Isn't WPB South of the MD line?

I happened to stumble accross this car a month or two ago when I was buying a motor from this guy. Nice guy and was definitely suprised to find out that he had this car as well as a 74 911 which was apparently raced by Paul Newman which he is asking RIDICULOUS money for - $750K - for what appears to be a fairly new (not period correct) restoration with a good bit of modern parts, i'll see if I can dig up some pictures.

Back this car, for those who were wondering, the rear fenders ARE flared, although there are no welds or fiberglass, I'm pretty sure it was all done with a baseball bat. The car is nice and very correct, solex's etc.... but it is what it is, a 1966 911, NOT a 1965. This is why it is not selling for $350,000. Even with race history it does not make it a '65, hence it will never bring '65 money.

Tell you what though, be prepared for a shock if you go to see it, not in a high rent district

Optics:
It's a challenge to sell a $100 steak at a fine restaurant; it's impossible to sell one at a greasy spoon.

The price keeps going down.

The wheels seem too wide for that period. Would there have been extra wide competition steel wheels available at that time? Or chalk it up to the type of restoration?

[67er911S]

so, why is the car still for sale?

Not commenting on this car's wheels in particular but I've been told by a good source that racers used to punch out Porsche centers and weld them into Chevy rims of increased width. I know of at least one 60's era racer who quoted to me that he ran 6"f and 7"r steel wheels when he raced in 67, but he couldn't remember exactly how he got to those widths. YMMV.

This poor car has an identity CRISIS.
Once full of testosterone now a victim of too many estrogen treatments. Just pick one or the other but please keep it away from my kids.
