Porsche 911 1966

This 1966 Porsche 911 coupe is powered by a 1965 2.0-liter flat-six engine, which is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox with the same number of gears, and has undergone a color change to its current silver. The recent overhaul of the dual downdraft Weber carburetors and a rebuild of the gearshift linkage with new bushings were carried out in August 2019.

Originally ivory, the car was repainted in its current silver color at some point. The condition of the paint, trim, and other trim is detailed in the gallery below. A Nurburgring badge is attached to the engine cover vent, and a radio antenna is located on the right front fender.

The 15″ Fuchs-style wheels with black inserts are shod with older Vredestein Sprint+ tires, and a matching spare tire is located under the trunk mat.

The bucket front seats have been reupholstered in black vinyl with perforated center sections in place of their original Pepita fabric inserts. Matching black vinyl covers the rear seats and door panels, and the black carpets are protected by rubber mats.

A wood-rimmed steering wheel rests in front of a black dash with matching wood trim. VDO instruments include a five-digit odometer reading approximately 11k miles, with total chassis mileage unknown. A period Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo is fitted in the dash, and a Webasto gas heater is located under the hood.

The 2.0-liter flat-six said to be from a 1965 911 and is fitted with dual Weber downdraft carburetors equipped with K&N air filters. The carburetors were serviced and the throttle cable linkage adjusted by Coachwerks Restoration in Victoria, British Columbia.
