Porsche 911 E

The vehicle in detail

Documentation on hand indicates that this 911 was sold new by Hailey Porsche Audi of Chattanooga, TN on March 1, 1973, to Stainless Metal Products also of Chattanooga. The original owner retained the car until 1978 when it was sold to a Dr. Mercado who kept the car in Chattanooga until 2013. Dr. Mercado’s dedication to the car is evident not only in the excellent records he kept, but also the thoughtful letter he wrote to the new owner, Mr. Denkins, regarding various operational procedures and specific fluids he recommended. After three years in Atlanta, Mr. Denkins sold the car to California Porsche Restoration. Mr. Denkins describes the 911 as a three-owner car with 80,050 original miles in excellent running and driving condition and with a rust-free and accident-free body. California Porsche Restoration then restored the car to the excellent condition in which it remains today. Upon completion of the restoration, the car was sold to a Porsche collector in Wichita who drove it sparingly but serviced it regularly.
