I love it I would enjoy putting that one together.

The knob under dash between speedo and rev counter looks exactly like knobs I have in my VW Split bus

Thanks and that is super handy info. as you may see our knob is cracked. What year is your bus?

PS Hopefully is not for S. African assembled busses only

Congrats!

BTW: Who is the serviceman who brought this car to the States? He deserves a mention, as he had the vision to buy a 901 in Germany and bring it home.

Boy, take a week end off and good news like this hits...
Congrats on this wonderful find Allen.

Your going to have a fun time getting this car to look like it did - back in the day. Mark W. and Erik K. have posted, they will have a wealth of car information. For the correct grille talk to Dave in Colorado...he might have something for you. Yup...every one of these cars has some special feature, those seats are a delight, whether original or replacement they look "bespoke".

This is good news. ( by the way, Type 901 total just 82- the other three are prototypes with 13 xxx serial numbers. It is a smaller pool than you thought.)

That really is amazing, and very exciting!

What a memorable experience. You need to write a book or magazine article on it , after you are finushed.

Thank you for preserving history.

Thanks again for all your help and continued assistance. I've edited my original post to 82 for the sake of accuracy.

1964 911ers,

One things that puzzles us is our car's interior. Is it original or not? It certainly looks original and color-coordinated. Very "356" as you would expect. Please check out the staples on the seats. Factory? The Kardex says
Kunstleder=. Leatherette
Rehbraun = deer brown
Pepita = houndstooth

Maybe the houndstooth was switched out as it is prone to wear. We'll know when the seats are rebuilt. Was there a "tan or brown houndstooth?" We know old Porsches in bad climates often were not driven that much and were parked early. Perhaps, why the interior is (mostly?) original and nice. Thanks.

Allen, that rear seat looks like the real deal.
