Interesting chat on wheel widths. My 65 came with 7" R wheels along with custom axles. Two were originals so pretty rare and the other two were built. Don't know when this was done.

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.

Ok - Let's take a look at the real deal here. This is a 1964 911 that was entered in the 1966 24-hours at Daytona. It won the 2.0-liter Grand Touring class. The car has never been restored. It has been repainted though. It's currently a part of the Revs Institute Collection.

You can easily compare this car to the eBay car. You can also draw you own conclusions regarding the eBay car.

Domani Motor Cars is proud to present this 1965 Porsche 911 Carrera finshed in Signal Red over Black leather interior. This beauty has a fantastic race pedigree and is highly collectible. This is a solid restoration and a great investment for those looking to enjoy ownership while the value continues to climb. Get this beauty before it's too late!!

By 1967 Porsche was engaged in the world of international prototype racing with full force, going from strength to strength with such giant-killers as the 904, 906 and 910 endurance racers, all of which showed up to battle Ford, Ferrari and Alfa at the 1967 Sebring 12 Hours. In the middle of this pack of Prototypen was a small contingent of production 911 coupes running in the GT2 class. This Signal Red 1965 911 coupe was part of that group, qualifying 35th on the grid with a time of 3:27.400 and finishing in 20th place overall at the hands of German co-drivers Sepp Greger and Günter Besier. Owned by a Dr. Goodman, it was raced by Greger at Sebring 1967 and again in 1968, when it failed to finish. The car was then used by Dr. Goodman to commute to the hospital where he was a resident physician, during which time he had Porsche-Air air conditioning installed by a local Porsche dealer. After years in storage the car was complete and sound but in need of a restoration. The car is now completely restored to its 1967 Sebring configuration, including the original matching numbers 2.0 L engine complete with the original Solex 4-D downdraft carburetors, and the early 901 5-speed gearbox. The original sheet metal (including the rolled sheet steel rear wheel flares) and floor pans have been retained, as have the wood dash, wood-rimmed steering wheel and 1965 date-coded competition seat belts. The car is finished with Michelins on extra wide chrome plated steel wheels, driving lights, a competition mirror and the same number 41 it wore at Sebring in 1967.

They didn't pull the aftermarket air to run it at Sebring? Or it got put in later and they didn't take it out to market it as a car that ran a Sebring?

Anyone know where this car ended up?
