rhd 65

[RHD65]

just a quick question on what people might think a RHD late 65 911 may be worth,its in fairly rough state but most of the important bits are there
any thoughts

Alex, it would all be about the "rough state"...

Rust is the issue and will be what truly dictates value... I imagine a sound '65 in RHD would have to be reasonably rare and desirable, especially if it's complete. In real good nick, maybe $60k+, even 6 figures in some markets if it can be made perfect... Are you able to share the VIN? Hugh H keeps a pretty comprehensive file on Antipodean 911s and might be able to cast some more light on it.

Photos would also help diagnose condition.

From memory, some 65's can be built to 64 specs for FIA 2.0 litre racing. I think there might be a VIN cutoff.

If the car qualifies then selling into Europe, especially the UK, might be worth considering.

Hi Alex,

If it's a proper rotter the Racing guys will be keen to buy it as Ryan has pointed out it's FIA compliant. They like racing RHD cars because almost all of the circuits are anti-clockwise and there's said to be a marginal advantage. Don't know how true it is. As far as I'm aware no-one races a RHD car as they're probably too rare.

Cheers

I have Alex's car on my RHD '65 911 list that I've compiled since about 1991. Its a NZ new car from memory without looking it up.

As there were only a handfull MY65 RHD cars made literally, rarity would come strongly into play here.

Cheers

SCK.

thanks for the replys
well heres the story,i restore classic cars for a living,mainly porsche,i have this rhd 65 (302773),i know its pretty rare,have had some real interest in uk,but would realy like to keep it in australasia ,in nz at the moment,turns out to be the earliest 911 in nz,i would really like to restore this car but just dont have the funds at the moment and to many other projects on the go,so thinking putting on the market,in an ideal world i would like to do the work on the car but if someone is interested as is i would consider selling,details of car,its quite rough,not so much rust more just bad welding,flared guards,no interior,good parts,its a rhd 65,dash seems complete,correct matching engine and gearbox,solex carbs,glass complete,suspension complete
personally i think this car because of its history should be restored back to original(ivory white,red/pepita interior) but would make an excellent race car candidate
so if theres any interest out there lets talk
