Auction Description:
*Expertly prepared Rally Specification Porsche
*Original early model example
*Retains matched numbers engine
*Won the Targa Newfoundland Classic Division in 2012
This stunning example was refurbished with the aim of competing on the Targa Newfoundland in 2012. Taking a rare mid '65, matching numbers '302' prefix 911, the car had covered roughly 40,000 miles from new by then and was in good 'rust-free' order, the car was sent to Jim Newton here in Connecticut, who comprehensively reworked it for rally campaigning. The original motor was stored and in its place a 2.2 liter unit built up, later specification suspension and gearbox fitted. The bodywork was reconstructed with fiberglass front fenders, front hood, rear trunk lid and rear bumper, the originals all being retained. The Porsche was then repainted in its original Signal red scheme and the interior refurbished with a Spartan set of racing seats, seatbelts and window nets. A full roll cage was installed.
This new setup proved to be extremely effective, the car winning the Classic Division of the Targa Newfoundland that year as intended! Further events were planned, including a campaign on the grueling Carrera Panamericana, for which a 2.7 liter engine was built by Musante Motor Sports, and is currently fitted to the car, but ultimately that was not attempted.
Today, the Porsche remains set up and ready to go in its current rally spec form, and better still if down the line it was ever desired to return it back to original, virtually all the original parts including seats and matched numbers engine remain with the car.

good looking period hot rod....
all done by a really good shop
Taking it back to stock shouldn't be out of the question and it could be worth it given the fact it is a '65. A lot of work. Sell the two "built engines" for some initial funding?
Removing the roll bar will be the event full of colorful metaphors. It's welded to the A Pillars and I venture the B Pillars too. Nice work that makes for a stiff chassis.
I'd like to know more about the heater. The fuel tank is interesting too.

Auction Description:
This potent 1973 machine is very well known in Danish circles: Built by the respected Porsche specialist Holger Winsløv, it was his personal car for 30 years and continuously modified for his own use and fun. It has been through several iterations before arriving at its present RS-look.
Although the current look is pure '73 RSL, this car is not attempting to replicate anything and is simply about combining various desirable elements of earlier cars into a very serious track tool /quick road car. The featherweight early 911-structure is powered by a later 964-engine to RS-specifications, set up correctly for track use, with appropriate suspension, 930-brakes, and a limited slip differential as well. As you would expect from an enthusiast, this car has been tweaked and fine-tuned over the years to suit his requirements, and in the right hands, this well sorted 911 is capable of scaring much newer cars on track days and is an awesome road car.
