Auction Description:
Presented in beautiful Irish Green paintwork with a timeless Black leather interior, this rare early 911 Coupe is in superb condition throughout. Boasting the all-important ‘matching number' engine, as shown on the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, it was built in 1966 for the production year 1967 and supplied originally to Germany before being taken to California where it resided until 2014. Repatriated by our vendor at that time, it was entrusted to respected specialists, Tuthill Porsche of Banbury, in April of that year for a full service and inspection with all remedial work completed, fully documented and invoiced.
The history file contains documentation and invoices to evidence the care that has been lavished on this car, which in itself represents an important time in Porsche history when for a short period the 911 Coupe was the only model available.
A handsome car in an unusual colour. A must for any serious car enthusiast...

DETAILS & STORY
It was September 14, 1965 when Paul and Helen Dickey walked into Vasek Polak’s Porsche dealership in Manhattan Beach, California, and signed there names on the bottom line for their new Porsche 911. Paul’s brother later lamented “I saw Paul’s Porsche once, before I moved from California. His love for that vehicle could only be compared to the love he had for his wife”. Paul’s care for the care is unbelievably well documented. He never worked on the car himself but only the most trusted of mechanics got the job. The 911 was serviced at Polak’s from new until late 1974. That was when a few of his most talented mechanics left Vasek to open their own shop, Andial!
In 1975 Paul’s 911 had accumulated 95,000 miles and the original paint was no longer up to his very particular standards. He went to one of Southern California’s best painters, Big Al Martinez. Al painted so many Porsche’s he printed up a brochure explaining what was involved and the difference between lacquer and enamel, as well as custom touches available in 1975. Paul chose a few of those custom touches Al offered: the rear update panel (replace the license panel), and “S” front bumper “splitter”. They were the perfect complement to the McAfee wheels Paul had installed in 1968. The bare metal re-paint came out to almost $3,000, a huge sum back in 1975. The condition of that paint today is the true testament to its quality. I could continue with a few more decades of history on this 911 but it needs to be seen to be believed. This is an “R” gruppe car decades before it was cool.
White glove also comes with it’s original parts to transform it back to stock condition:
Four date stamped steel wheels
Four original hub cabs
Original front bumper apron (with rare lead weights)
Original wood steering wheel
Original shift lever and base

Original dealer installed air conditioning under the dash unit, compressor, and engine lid coil
