Thanks everyone for the kind words. Does anyone know what the "warhlicht" option is on the kardex? I cannot find information about it including on derwhites356literature.com/KardexvCertificateofAuthenticity
I hadn't thought about doing an insta. We will see how things progress and if I do I'll post it hereOriginally Posted by camarilla
Subscribed! I look forward to learning about early cars and helping you on this journey wherever I can.

Drew, Congrats and welcome to the early 911 community. Looking forward to follow along with Casper's revival.
Awesome to see your dad anxious to give a helping hand on this project! You'll cherish the time spent together.
Hey Drew, check out this Article:

The girl on the first photo was the first owner of your car.
Maybe on Sunday. We probably need to start getting after cleaning the bad gas out of the fuel system.
Wow! That is an amazing find!!! Thank you so much zhivago! I will add her photo to my next post!
Here is my plan for the near term process of getting the car back on the road. A little background on the car: the reason it was initially taking off the road was the brakes going out. That's the only piece of information we have. The engine does turn over when the crank is turned.
1. Get the car started
- Clean out the fuel system to get rid of the bad gas. Replace line ect.
- Oil change
- Marval mystery oil soak
- Spark plug change
- Get a battery
- Sort out electrical system. There is something going on with a motorcycle throttle in the engine bay. Very strange.
- ???
2.Then the task will be getting it driving
- The clutch pedal is completely locked up.
- Shift throws are extremely long. Linkages need to be tightened up. Not sure what that fully entails yet.
- The gas pedal seems to be falling apart.
- Brakes are not working. We will need all new lines. Fix anything else in the system that needs it.
- Need new muffler. The one on the car is damaged
- Figure out what the webers need. simple kit rebuild or full send out service for refurb.
- New tires
-???
If anyone has other tasks please feel free to share. Things like H1's, front turn signals, rear turn signals, ect will have to take a back seat to these other task.
In other news
zhivago found an article which contains a picture of the original owner. Ever since seeing the Kardex I've wondered who she is and it is very exciting to put a face to the name.
Lastly, the 68 plates came in the mail today. Once it can pass inspection I will use these plates on the car. A little rust on them like Casper
The chances of that article are crazy. She moved to Switzerland, perhaps you’ll have luck reconnecting with her. Best of luck sounds like a solid plan. Perhaps also try checking the battery boxes that they arent sitting in battery acid…
Warnlicht means hazard light (the g in Sonderausstattung makes ‘n’ look like an ‘h’).

The early owner's manual shows emergency flasher switch between the fog light and gas heater switches (US only). Anybody got a factory fitted one before October 1965?
Perfectly appropriate that your hairstyle matches the year of the car. Obviously it was all meant to be.
congratulations on your find... will you do the restoration work yourself?
whether you do or not, posting pictures here is a very good way to enforce your commitment in a positive way...
it is impossible to take to many pictures
photo everything even the interior undercoating and insulations before taking apart...
best of luck.
