Auction Description:
This 1967 Porsche 911 is a short-wheelbase coupe project that retains its original 2.0-liter flat six and a 4-speed manual transmission. The car is being sold on behalf of its current owner, who reportedly purchased it from a family member in 1998 and drove it until 2004, when it was parked due to a frozen throttle shaft. Though largely complete, it has been sitting outdoors since and will require full restoration including extensive rust repair as detailed below. The car is sold with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity verifying the matching engine along with a clean Oklahoma title in the owner’s name. Exterior sheet metal has been repainted in white over its original Polo Red and appears mostly straight, but bubbling and holes in its lower extremities hint at the extensive corrosion lurking beneath. Rust-through is pervasive in the rockers, floors, lower doors, spare tire well, and other areas as detailed below. Glass appears intact throughout, though the windshield is fogged at the corners, while plastic lenses are cracked and in need of replacement. Later plastic sideview mirrors have been fitted in place of the single chrome original item, and trim is pitted or otherwise showing its age. Factory 15″ chromed wheels are rusty and peeling, though all four polished hub caps are present.
Door jambs appear relatively solid, while floors exist only in partial form and the rear parcel shelf is heavily corroded. Stock seats and door panels are retained inside, and the rest of the interior appears mostly complete aside from carpets. Optional 911S combination gauges feature the green lettering available for the last time in 1967. Simple switchgear looks mostly accounted for along with interior trim, though most pieces are in need of restoration. Remnants of a dealer-installed air conditioner are mounted beneath the dash and the rest of the system has been partially removed. A 1970s tape deck has replaced the original tri-band Blaupunkt radio, which is also included and photographed in the gallery below. The front storage compartment appears largely complete but shows a similar level of corrosion from heavy surface rust aft of the fuel tank to major perforation of the front corners and spare tire well. A nearly complete factory toolkit is included in the sale.
The numbers-matching 2.0-liter flat six is said to be complete but has not been run in over ten years. Stock-looking Weber downdrafts remain fitted and are topped with a period Mann air cleaner assembly. The engine is mated to a type 902/0 4-speed manual gearbox that appears appropriate for the car but bears a different number stamp than that listed on the Certificate of Authenticity. No heat exchangers are present and exhaust headers are rusted through on at least one side.
