Here we have a very early Porsche 911 coupe built in 1965 for the '66 model year. Chassis number 302576 was delivered in beautiful Irish Green (Code 6606). Comes with engine # 960053. This car was somebody's unfinished dream and well on its way to becoming a very mean looking 911 ST clone. It has been flared front and rear (fiberglass) with flared front and rear bumpers and ducktail, all in lightweight fiberglass. There has been lots of metal work done to prepare the car including new floors. The chassis was stripped inside and coated in POR15. Please see the photos of the underside and inside chassis to see what kind of work has been done. It wears 16x7 and 16x8 Fuchs, replicas in the rear. The fuel tank was replaced with a fuel cell which has not been fully installed.
While this project is mid-stream at this point, there remains lots of adjusting, fitting, making and repairing to do. The harness appears to be intact but we have not gone through it. There are numerous parts missing that will need to be procured to finish the car. Some uninstalled parts, like brake calipers and window glass, are with the car. If you don't see it in the photos, however, there's a good chance it's not included with the car.
The engine will need to be fully dismantled and rebuilt. It shows signs of sitting for a long time and we have not attempted to turn it over. It is bolted into the car for transport only and has not been hooked up in any way. The engine stamping, as pictured, reads 960053, which is a very early '67 911S engine. The type number reads 901/06 which should correspond to a normal. Production number stamped 7882. This may be a replacement case which was stamped with the original case's engine number. It is a mystery at this point.
This car is a project which could go one of two directions. As a very early example of a 911 in a striking and rare color, it could be restored to a correct narrow bodied car. On the other hand, the new owner could follow the current path of creating a mean, fast, loud 911 ST clone. If you need some inspiration, check out Pelican user RSWANNABE and his ST hot rod that was featured in the Esses magazine. WOW.
This car has a clear title and is ready for export.
