Here is a rare opportunity to own a never rusted or never accident beautiful early 911. These cars are hard to find in any condition much less a California rust free example with all original panels rockers floor and trunk floor! great gaps super straight. This car was stripped to bare metal and the metal was cleaned and many photographs taken at that stage. It was metal etched primed then metal finished . This car has barely any filler anywhere! It was urethane primed blocked and painted in the wonderful original Irish green and clearcoated. It was color sanded to a flat mirror finish that is deep and pure gloss.
It has new seats headliner and dash. The wood is untouched and the best looking dash ever put in a 911 .
The brakes were rebuilt and work excellent. The original dated 1965 trans shifts great no noises . New seals all around some pieces new rechrome The chrome around side windows is original but not bad.
The engine is a 1970 2.2 with zeniths. No leaks! The oil pressure is a steady 60 pounds and the compression is a around 150 psi. It does smoke a little and the carbs do run smooth sometimes . It is could use a set of Webers and toss the zeniths. I have a line on a 66 case and my intention was to build a 2.7 aluminum case engine but other priorities have got in the way of that.
These early hand made 911's will continue to rise in value with out a doubt. The 65 is identical in almost every detail but they were mostly European delivery . The 66 was the one you could find at the dealer if you could find one at all. I am always more fond of the coupe the Targa has only 60 percent torsional stiffness of the coupe . It took the factory till the 80's to come up with the right combination of reinforcements to build the cabriolet which we all love.
I can send additional pictures of specific areas if needed.
I reserve the right to end the auction early if a deal is made before auction ends.
Thankyou for looking!

VW adding particulate filters to gas engines
Wed, Aug 3 2016Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.

2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed statue unveiled
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Each year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a single marque is celebrated with a large and ornate "Central Feature" sculpture, with recent automakers including Audi in 2009, Alfa Romeo in 2010, Jaguar in 2011 and Lotus last year. This year, Porsche gets the honor, and it is using the opportunity to commemorate 50 years of the 911.
The sculpture features three generations of the 911 towering over the Goodwood House. The most recent 991 911 has the lowest position, with an original 1963 car second highest and a 1973 2.7 RS at the top of the pile. Be sure to check out the sculpture for yourself in the gallery of images above.
Winterkorn remains CEO of Volkswagen's majority shareholder
Sun, Oct 4 2015Martin Winterkorn may have stepped down as the chief executive of Volkswagen in the wake of the diesel emissions scandal, but he's not out from under the company's large umbrella just yet. In fact, according to a report from Reuters, he still holds four top-level positions not only within the industrial giant's bureaucracy, but at the top of it. And one of those is as CEO of the company's largest shareholder. That holding company is Porsche SE, the investment arm of the Piech and Porsche families (Ferdinand Porsche's descendants) which holds over 50 percent of VW's shares. In 2008, Porsche SE acquired majority interest in the Volkswagen Group which in turn acquired Porsche the automaker – and placed VW's Winterkorn at the head of the executive board of the holding company. Though Winterkorn has resigned from his position as chairman of VW's management board, he has apparently yet to step down from running Porsche SE. That's not the only job that Winterkorn still retains in VW's senior management. He also continues to serve as chairman of Audi, as well as truck manufacturer Scania, and the new Truck & Bus GmbH into which Scania has been grouped together with Man. It remains unclear if or when Winterkorn might resign from those positions as well, or how his tenure in those posts might affect the company's effort to start over in the aftermath of the scandal in which it is currently embroiled. Also unclear, Reuters reports, is how much, exactly, Winterkorn will receive in compensation after having stepped down from his chair at the head of the VW executive board. His pension is reported at over $30 million, but he could be awarded a large severance package as well amounting to as much as two years' worth of his annual compensation, which amounted to around $18 million last year. Whether he receives the severance pay or not is expected to depend on whether his resignation is considered by the supervisory board to have been the result of his own missteps or independent of the situation that resulted in his resignation. One way or another, he's not likely to go poor anytime soon.
