I've seen hundreds, perhaps thousands of air-cooled 911s, and few of them have been as sweet as this one. This is no survivor, it's an immaculately maintained specimen. All original interior, paint and clear. Read More
Porsche billed this car as a two-seater, but it's more of a 1+1. The passenger seat is barely a real seat. Production of this flat-6 version was limited to somewhere between 2800 to 3500; there are differing versions according to available Porsche numbers and unofficial sources.
