In this day and age of hotrod 911 builds, t is very easy to loose site of Porsche’s original intentions. These are light and agile cars with wonderfully unique characteristics. As more powerful and modern drivetrains get transplanted, art of these cars’ souls is lost. I really admire a thoughtful build in the spirit of the day. Something that is built the way the factory would have done it, nly with improvements using period correct parts. This early long-hood 911 is the perfect example of an authentic sport purpose build.
This 911 was a pretty base-level example when ordered new. Per the Porsche COA, t is an original Irish Green 911 and only had the Comfort Package option.
Although not much is known about the early history, t was clear from the full restoration that this 911 was a nice example that had no signs of major abuse.
The current owner had always wanted to build a sport-purpose/rally inspired 911 ever since seeing pictures of them as a teenager. In fact, e loved the hood mounted Cibie lights so much that he found a NOS set before he even bought this car to restore. This set of 4-lights had never been mounted and were still wearing their original factory primer. Now, e began his search for the right 911. He found this example in 2008. It had been painted another color sometime in the 80’s and the original motor had failed long ago and was already replaced. So, his owner decided to embark on a 2-year plus adventure restoring this Porsche back to its glory with some tasteful period-correct enhancements including, f course, he Rally lights

The driving experience is pure early 911. The car fires to life easily with very little coaxing. The throttle response is immediate. The gearbox is tight and shifting is simple and precise. The handling and braking are as they should be.
