Dealer's Description:

This 911 began life in the Porsche factory in 1966 when it was issued a prototype (Werks - racing department) serial number, 13433, and built with 911R rear flares and a sunroof. The body shell, without sound proofing or paint was then delivered to the service department (Versant/TA) where it was used until 1968 to training mechanics and testing the installation of components. Once the 911 transitioned from short to long wheelbase, the body shell was no longer needed and was released from duty. In the early 2000s it was discovered on the west coast by a well-known Porsche serial number detective who had been searching for cars with unique VINs.

The car was inspected and determined to have its original factory installed R model flares and other features that matched the records supplied by Jurgen Barth. It was purchased and moved to New York where a full nut and bolt restoration to concours standards was performed by Dave Hammer of Werks 1 (Sea Cliff, Long Island). Since the 911s life within the Porsche factory spanned from 1966 to 1968, it has a combination of racing parts from that time period. The engine is a 1968 2.0L aluminum case with 906 cams and Weber carburetors. The driver sits in an authentic elephant hide-covered 911R seat and the passenger gets one from a 906. The rest of the interior is bare except for racing harnesses. A 911R fuel tank with external filler is up front. Upon completion in 2012, this 911 was invited to Rennsport Reunion (October 2012) where it shown, driven on the track and received an award. In 2013, it was shown at the Amelia Island Concours where it was well-received and transferred to a new owner. Today, it is on the button and still fresh from restoration with just over 200 miles since completion. It is mechanically fit and ready for road or concours use.

. . . Looks like Don Ahearn's old car . . .

. . . + Rick Cabell's, before that . . .

. . . very interesting . . . Two years ago I bought chassis # 13433 . . . As it was posted above, all 911 prototypes began with the number 13 3xx. My car, (and Tom's), is
13 4xx . . .

. . . The big deal on my car is that it has 911 R flares on it that were definatly installed at the factory. I contacted Jurgen Barth on this and he did a quick check. My car was built on May 20th 1966. It was never a complete car, and had no factory undercoat during assembly.The car he said was used for training purposes within the factory after 5/20/66. From more info that I have aquired, it makes sence that the car was not undercoated because it went to the body dept. to do a experiment in flaring these cars. Also, my rear bumpers were custom fabricated to go out and meet the end of the flare . . .

. . . car also came from the factory with a sunroof!! . . .
