This 911 was a pretty base-level example when ordered new. Per the Porsche COA, it is an original Irish Green 911 and only had the Comfort Package option.
Although not much is known about the early history, it was clear from the full restoration that this 911 was a nice example that had no signs of major abuse.
The current owner is a fellow Early S/356 member how has been battling some unfortunate health issues. He had always wanted to build a sport-purpose/rally inspired 911 ever since seeing pictures of them as a teenager. He especially loved the hood mounted Cibie lights so much that he found a NOS set before he even bought this car to restore. This set of 4-lights had never been mounted and were still wearing their original factory primer. Now, he began his search for the right 911. He found this example in 2008. It had been painted another color sometime in the 80’s and the original motor had failed long ago and was already replaced. So, this owner decided to embark on a 2-year plus adventure restoring this Porsche back to its glory with some tasteful period-correct enhancements including, of course, the Rally lights
Some of the best local builders were hired for this restoration project.
