911 Normale Cars for Sale

[Carparc]

Thanks Henk ! Interesting. I wonder if what appear to be hole(s) at the top outside edge of the engine lid opening are the sunroof drains? Normally, they are not there but slots below the drip rails. BTW, this car, painted yellow, was for sale at Wholesale California Inc. for several months.

The drainage slots below (actually just above) the drip rails were only there if a sunroof was factory installed, not if afterwards installed by Golde or dealer for that matter.
I guess this one has the motor in the front instead of the rear?
Henk.

Good eyes Henk! Looks like it was sold new to a company called Naus or Maus or Kraus Weber? Fa stands for company. Anyway.. the Mecum write up is highly entertaining and highly misleading at the same time.

Auction Description:

• Restored by Porsche Classic
• Much sought after 1st Series 911
• Rare European delivery from new
• Matching numbers, matching colours
• Comes with its original Austrian registration papers

Manufactured in May 1965, this 1st Series (pre-A Programme) Porsche 911 was delivered new to Austria and registered there, making it an ultra-rare European example, the bulk of production going to the USA. The car remained in Austria, residing with three different owners in Graz up to 1978. Then it was bought and registered by Herr Schwimmer from Oberpurkla, Austria for 1983 only. The Porsche left Austria at the end of 1983 and moved to Belgium where it was owned in the mid-1980s by the ex-President of the Porsche Club Belgium, Mr Walter Pauwels.

At that time a standard early example was not considered so special, and Mr Pauwels converted '301153' to lightweight 911R specifications, although we have been informed that the 911 was never raced. Considered more of a show car, it is known to have taken part in one parade on the Zolder circuit. It is understood that the original 2.0-litre engine was retained.

The 911 then moved to Ghent where it was with one owner for another lengthy period before passing in 2014 to the current vendor. The latter has had the car totally restored by Porsche Classic Brussels, a painstaking process that took two years to complete and was only finished in December 2015. As many Porsche enthusiasts will know, original parts for a 1965 911 are very hard to find; the owner proudly advises us that he was able to find some of the very last original new-old-stock parts available. Components were sourced from Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, etc, this quest for original parts being the hardest task of the whole project. A photographic record is on file.

The restoration began with car being dismantled and the bodyshell checked for straightness. The front and rear wings were replaced with original (SWB) items from Porsche AG, which are no longer available (invoice on file), and the door sills replaced also. Body repairs were made using the traditional 'lead loading' technique (no filler). All parts were sand blasted and received a special coating. The car was sand-blasted both inside and out, and then re-sprayed in original colour, including the boot. All new rubber seals were fitted but the owner chose not to have all the brightwork re-plated in order to retain some of the car's patina. In addition, The entire braking system has been overhauled and treated against corrosion. Shod with new tyres, the wheels are correct 1965 items of 4½ x15 size with original Porsche stamps. A spare wheel comes with the car.

Inside, the dashboard and instruments were refurbished, and the woodwork renewed. The wood-rim steering wheel is an original 1965 item (with stamps) and not a replica. The interior trim, headlining, and carpets are new except for both front seats, which are 1965 examples retaining their original trim, boasting a lovely patina and in perfect condition.

The engine has been fully overhauled and is said to run perfectly; the five-speed gearbox likewise. A photographic record of the works is available, and the car also comes with results of a compression test showing excellent figures. Weber carburettors were fitted on the recommendation of Porsche AG, the original Solexes being considered a fire hazard. The clutch was renewed, a new exhaust (with two heat-exchangers) fitted, and the electrics fully rewired (photographs on file).

This car retains all the features typical of a 1st Series 1965 model, including a numbered rear grille (1-13) painted black underneath; original 'egg'-lens front lights; original green instruments; four-point screwed front grille; fog lights; three screws in the door jambs; and even the original Porsche logo.

Restored to the highest standards, this beautiful 1st Series Porsche 911 comes with a copy of the Porsche build sheet; Belgian registration documents; the original Austrian registration document; Porsche Certificate of Authenticity; taxation report (2016); and the restoration photographs and invoices.

Auction Description:

- One of 521 produced in 1968
- Completed on June 12, 1986
- Previously part of the Darwin James Collection
- 2.4L engine
- Weber carburetors
- 911S instruments in English
- Front and rear bumper horns
- Electric fan
- Blaupunkt radio with US band
- Fixed tinted rear glass
- Ventilated chrome wheels
- Chrome caps with colored crests
- Pirelli tires
- Recent service by Anthony Stoessel of Coachcraft in Fillmore, California
- Porsche Certificate of Authenticity

This rare 1968 Porsche 911 Targa is one just 521 of this special body style produced in that year. Although it presents as a bone-stock 911 Targa, it is really a wolf in sheep’s clothing. This car has been tastefully modified with an engine transplant that has dramatically increased its performance. The stock two-liter Porsche engine has been replaced with a later-generation 2.4-liter Porsche engine—sourced from a 1972 911S—and fitted with Weber carburetors, while the steel wheels have been upgraded to Fuchs alloys. In addition to the engine upgrade, this car was finished in Champagne Yellow and the interior in Cream Beige leatherette during a comprehensive restoration. The acceleration and top speed of this car far surpasses that of the original 1968 911 Targa, with genuine Porsche parts used throughout its transformation. In short, this is a Porsche that retains the vintage look of the late 1960s combined with the increased speed and comfort capability of later-generation 911 Porsches. This Targa features a number of options including 911S instrumentation, wheel caps with colored crest, ventilated chrome wheels, a Blaupunkt “Frankfurt” radio and a fixed tinted rear window. All of these visual cues are “period correct” for the late ’60s vibe of this 1968 Targa. However, step on the gas and find horsepower and torque that was unavailable until years after this car was manufactured. This is a chance to own a Porsche that is the best of both worlds: the classic shape of an early 911 Targa combined with the performance of a more modern Porsche.

Not one photo of the underside. but several problems in the restoration that I see. Should not have a radio, does not have pepita seats, should have 2 screw doors this late, air cleaner and many engine features are wrong, it will be interesting to see where this lands.

Air cleaner... how about the entire carb set up is wrong. This car should have solexes. 4-button dash missing. Window winders, radio, door latches, door sills, engine doesn't have the correct mount for the mechanical pumps, non-aluminum steering wheel, windshield wiper arms, trunk carpet (should be square weave)....

loads of details left to get right, and that's just what you can see...

Webers were a warranty swap item if the owner opted to do the change over. Wolfgang Rietzel was Porsche's east coast guy and Norbert Nieslony was on the west coast. Wolfgang Rietzel "fixed" the carbs on a friends '65 911. (He opted to fix his Solex carbs) Reitzel eventually ended up with his own Porsche dealership.

Knowing that Solexes were removed when a car was new is something to consider. Somewhere, someplace I have the factory bulletin about all of this.

Auction Description:

*Delivered new to Peter Gregg's Brumos Motors in the USA
*In-period competition modifications in North America
*Rare RS bodywork
*Extensive mechanical restoration by Francis Tuthill 2014/2015

Manufactured in March 1968, this short-wheelbase 911 coupé was ordered from the factory by Peter Gregg's famed Porsche concessionaire and racing team, Brumos Motors of Jacksonville, Florida, USA. This car has a unique history, having been restored, uprated and maintained by leading teams in the USA and Europe for over half its life. Today, this Porsche attracts widespread interest and admiration.

The car incorporates hallmark Peter Gregg modifications, which are poignant reminders of its connections to the company during its historic years of 911 racing. Brumos reissued a newly stamped driver's log in 2014 and engaged in friendly and helpful correspondence with the vendor just before their closure in 2015, bringing to an end a 50-year story that saw Peter Gregg's Porsche 911 win the 2-litre class in the 1969 Trans Am series - Porsche's first race-series win for the 911.

The 1968 model-year Porsche 911 coupé was homologated by the FIA to compete in Group 2 (modified touring car) and Group 5 (special touring car) racing for the '68 and '69 seasons. In recent years, the '65 SWB cars have attracted a strong following amongst collectors due to the fact that they were the original type homologation and the earliest 911 model. However, it was with the '68 model year SWB cars that secured the marque's first major victories: 1968 Le Mans 24 Hours (Jean-Pierre Gaban), 1968 Monte Carlo Rally (Vic Elford) and the aforementioned Trans Am Championship.

This unique ex-Brumos 911 was further modified by South East Division SCCA racer Kenny Hawkins in the early 1990s in North Carolina, being given the RS bodywork it retains today. Maintained by the Porsche SCCA race community for the past three decades, this car has never been over restored and has an honest patina. Its engine is to 1968-period race tune and is married to a 902/1 five-speed transmission with optional limited-slip differential. It runs correct Weber 40 IDA 3C carburettors (the '68 model 911s were the last to feature carburettors).

Respected machine shop Ollie's of Arizona carried out the original engine works, which were further up-rated in 2014 by British marque specialists Francis Tuthill Limited, whose experience in rallying the SWB dates back 35 years. Having been extensively rebuilt mechanically, the car is close in specification to the SWB with which Francis Tuthill won the London to Sydney Marathon in 1993. All parts date within a narrow range: 1968-1973. Its genuine and valuable RS bodywork, now over 20 years old and still corrosion free, allows the use of up-rated running gear and is purposeful without pretence. A race modified '68 SWB recently displayed at the Porsche Museum is possibly the only other UK-registered SWB to feature RS bodywork.

This SWB has a particularly faithful interior that retains a number of race fittings from the 1960s (research into these is ongoing in the USA). It retains rare and original door cards unique to the '68 model, together with its original '03/68' date-stamped instruments and all its original glass.
In 2012, Porsche enthusiast, renowned collector, and former racing driver Peter Groh imported the car into Switzerland where it remained for two seasons, gaining it's TüV certificate (with a number of other improvements) before passing to the current vendor. Groh, who discovered this Porsche in North Carolina, had already restored a 1965 SWB, which he rallied in Germany in the 1990s.

The modifications made in the early 1990s were further improved upon during an eight-month restoration with Francis Tuthill Limited, which was completed in 2015, the year of the team's historic win in the FIA World Rally Championship's R-GT Cup category. Dating from 1972, its race-tuned Tuthill engine produces an estimated 210bhp and endows the car with sensational performance, yet it remains highly useable and has been driven regularly, covering over 12,000 miles since the 2014/2015 rebuild, confirming its toughness and reliability. Restoration invoices are on file, and the also comes with a current MoT certificate and UK V5C registration document.

This Porsche 911 SWB can be used daily on the road, on rallies and on track, and is also highly collectable, being an historic model homologated for FIA Group 2 racing for the '68 and '69 seasons. It is exceptionally rare to find a '68 SWB knowledgeably prepared as the Porsche factory intended: as a genuine dual-purpose road/race car. This has been done by leading racing specialists on both sides of the Atlantic, giving the car panache and punch in equal measure. For more detailed information the vendor has created a website dedicated to the car: www.1968swb.wordpress.com.

The car comes with extensive provenance from the Porsche Archive, Porsche GB, Brumos Motors, and the SCCA Porsche-enthusiast community, all of whom fondly remember it. An affordable route into the upper echelons of historic 1960s motor sport.
