Wow. I love looking at the pictures of this car. It is 24 chassis numbers and 4 engine numbers from my identical light ivory car
The very original frunk with the black goo shock towers and no charcoal canister are really interesting. The engine with all the original cold start is off the chart! I would love to see the underside just cleaned up a bit as I suspect it would give accurate insight into the the undercoat with overspray vs painted underside debate. Not sure Fergs rivet comment is accurate - that could be a reflection from the building structure. And the relocation of the relay board is curious, although the firewall location was used on the GT. At any rate this a great time capsule and I for one would probably lean towards preservation vice restoration. You just can not replicate the ambiance of some of this stuff! Hope we hear from the buyer. GLWTS |

very cool..... Kinda sucks that the dealer swapped the Fuch spare wheel. Did it say anywhere why the car was parked?
Who saves 13 year old newspapers in the car? 79 paper in a car parked in 92 Great that the owner was a driver.... lots of miles, carpet is worn under the clutch. Probably only 1 person drove it. And he was prepared. Spare cables in the trunk. |

I love that the original owner traded in a 1965 Vette for the car. He must have wanted to go fast other than in a straight line. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hello Glenn,
take a look at my post from may 2009: I think all 6 have a tag at another place where the number is on. Or do you know something else?? Thank you! My Best Harald |

I looked at this car three months ago, a dealer in West Chester had it. It was pretty much all original, it needed a lot of "EVERYTHING'. There was no COA when I looked at it. The interior was nice but the dash was cracked and discolored. It has deep six 6x15 on it and the original steel wheels were there. Complete tool kit. It needed inner and outer rocker panels on right side, sail panel rusted, I believe battery gassing off. I did not see any accident damage. There were letters from owner complaining to Porsche about reoccurring problems, that was nice to see. I so wanted to wash it to see what was there. The dealer was a good guy and he let me look at it twice, nice as could be.

Thanks for sharing, the car is beautiful. I’m on the hunt for an original six (and the wife us supportive) but the inner door / rocker rust looks extensive. in addition, the motor will probably need a rebuild and by the time we restored the car we would have well over $100K in the vehicle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) After our last two nut and bolt restorations we are looking for a more turn key 6 and will most likely go the auction route. This one might be just what you are looking for. No affiliation. Gotta love a tangerine 6. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-f...-6/2062476.html |

Thanks, she is beautiful. Our exiting garages are full (including the trailer and our neighbours car port), and once the new shop is built we’re going to hunt for the right six.
