    Wow, not something I would have thought of, but pretty cool if it is completely reversible.

    Very strange, is he forcing air through the carbs? Can not be easy to adjust timing/fuel etc correct. Should be easy to convert back I think. Interesting car.

    Forced induction through the carb tops was not uncommon back in the day, especially in the VW crowd. Not ideal, but it was manageable. Seeing it on a 911 is a first, though. Sure looks easily reversible.

    Cool

    Seem to be a fine car, I always wanted a '65 again so I PM'd the seller, I think the forced induction should be a breeze to remove.
    I sold my '65 with sportomatic about 10 years ago, it was a great experience and the right way to learn how to tailslide a 911..

    I bet a Board member would buy the supercharger bits if you remove them and have no use for them.
