We are pleased to offer on behalf of one of our clients this very early and rare 1965 Porsche 911 Coupe.
For many years, 2shores has been offering selected, finest grade examples of air-cooled Porsches. This very early Porsche 911 Coupe is one of those examples!

Production of the Porsche 911 began in September 1964, with the first 911s exported to the US in February 1965.

The first models of the 911 had a rear-mounted 130 hp, Type 901/01 flat-6 engine, in the “boxer” configuration like the 356, the engine is air-cooled and displaces 1,991 cc (2.0 L) as compared to the 356’s four-cylinder, 1,582 cc (1.6 L) unit. The car had four seats although the rear seats were small and it is usually called a 2+2 rather than a four-seater. A four or five-speed “Type 901” manual transmission was available. The styling was largely penned by Ferdinand “Butzi” Porsche, son of Ferdinand “Ferry” Porsche. Butzi Porsche initially came up with a notchback design with proper space for seating two rear passengers but Ferry Porsche insisted that the 356’s successor was to use its fastback styling. 7 prototypes were built based on Butzi Porsche’s original design and were internally called the Porsche 754 T7. Erwin Komenda, the leader of the Porsche car body construction department who initially objected, was also involved later in the design.

This car on offer is very early production vehicle (VIN# 300318) and finished in beautiful Irish Green (6406) over black interior.

The car was delivered new on February 18th 1965 to German dealer Schidt und in Bremen, Germany. The owner history is only lost for 4 short years, when an American Porsche enthusiast bought eh car on February 20th 1969. That owner kept the car for 41 years (!) up until 2010 when the Porsche was brought back home to Germany. Since then, it has been in numerous collections, but not road registered.

The current owner carefully had the car dry ice cleaned and sorted, but it is generally un-restored.

This is a very rare opportunity to acquire such an early Porsche 911 (VIN# 300318)) with all the unique features only the early 65 cars have.

The car runs and drives, but will need work and or restoration to be prepared for the next 60 years. It is a largely rust-free and solid example in a stunning color combination. This is a 100% complete car, fully numbers matching with original Kardex card.
