Unfortunately the best places for getting everything correct are getting fewer and fewer.....

Someone should write a book on the 64/65/66 models before it's too late. I think it would be well merited and could end up being just as thick as the RS bible.

That would be a thankless job but certainly worthwhile.

Franz?

Sportwagen Limited has won awards--their website says so.

That's absolutely the finest Chia 356 I've ever seen.

I just hope they replace the missing oil line.

That would be a thankless job but certainly worthwhile.

What might work is if the task was spread out over several 'experts' before they become senile. Perhaps Jim could cover (pun intended) the seats, you could do the pre production targa stuff, etc etc . Bring it all together in one collaboration and publish for the benefit of the community. A lot of information is already on here but it all needs confirmed, ratified and agreed upon as 'fact'.

Who am I kidding, it'll never happen but it would make a great book.

Has anybody even written a book and documented the 300 series cars? Surely that would be an interesting research topic and book?

There are definitely professional writers among us. Perhaps someone is looking for a project?

I would be willing to help fund some of this effort in the name of preserving history. I'm confident that there are others who own 64/65 cars who would also pony up.

John? Are you in?

We've done this with the early Corvettes. It took decades and over 100 people. This sort of endeavor takes the backing of someone the size of the PCA.

Just hose clamps alone can take years because of all the variations. Don't even ask me about bolt head markings.

Yes - it's possible. It's just a huge project.

To my knowledge there is no current crop of Noland Adams or Bruce Anderson prodigies.

BTW; Did NCRS $back$ Noland Adams' work?

[Richardnew]

No. Actually Noland left the NCRS early on even though he was a founding member. He then formed the Solid Axle Corvette Corvette. It was all about one of those arcane club issues that we all get involved in too often.

I think Noland did really well with his two epic volumes. He never got rich but I think he covered a lot of his expenses. He also had a very good relationship with GM. This was back in the late 1970's. He had free reign of the GM archives at that time.

Noland established the base of knowledge for the hobby. Others following in his spirit have improved upon it

Don't forget the efforts of David Burroughs, the founder of Bloomington Gold. Dave built on what the NCRS and Noland did.

To put all of this into prospective the Corvette data base actually began in the mid-seventies. At this point most of the judging manuals are over 120 pages. That's for one year.

You need people like Noland and Dave who devoted their entire existence to the collection of information. You also need organizations such as the NCRS and Bloomington Gold to act as a clearing house for the data.

Notice that this manual is the 5th Edition. It also costs $60.00. The NCRS is very very serious about determining what is correct.

A true 1965 model year or an early 1966 model year? First thing that jumps out at me is the Sugar Scoop headlights.

Auction Description:

This, matching numbers, 1965 Porsche 911 was imported by our vendor from the USA in 2013 and has resided in his significant private collection ever since. The Certificate of Authenticity that accompanies the car confirms the matching numbers and the correct colour of 'Polo Red' (6602) with complementary black leatherette trim.

Production of this car was completed on the 1st September 1965, making it a really early example (302094) still fuelled through its Solex carbs and Pierburg fuel pump. The engine itself has just been carefully rebuilt along with the fuel system including the carburetors, and the car is now UK registered with a long MOT.

Whilst not a restored car, this 911 appears to be in good condition and retains some early and rare features only found on 1965 cars. The wheels fitted are after-market items but look to be period and quite unusual.

There are some invoices from the USA but no actual service history accompanying the vehicle. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an early, matching numbers, 911 to use and enjoy on UK roads this summer or, dating from 1965, could potentially be a candidate for conversion to a competition car and qualify for a number of 'Blue Riband' racing events around the world.
