Porsche 911

The vehicle in detail

The earliest known provenance dates back to 1982, when Mr. Storz owned the 911 until the late 1990s. In the early 2000s, ownership transferred to Mr. Barrington, during which time the 911 remained in use and was maintained. By 2014, the 911 had passed through the third owner, who performed a cosmetic restoration and repainted it in the original Champagne Yellow.

The current owner acquired the 911 nearly seven years ago and undertook further improvements focused on correctness and mechanical integrity. An early 1965-period engine (Type 901/01) was sourced, and it was completely rebuilt along with the transmission by a well-known Porsche independent. In 2017, the engine and transmission were removed, disassembled, inspected, and all worn parts were replaced as necessary, over $62,000 was spent. The connecting rods were rebuilt. The crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, flywheel, and clutch were all balanced. The engine case was inspected, machined, and tumbled; all the oil galleys were cleaned. The case is a standard align bore spec, and the oil bypass was modified. The cylinder heads, fuel pump, and distributor were rebuilt. A new set of forged early rocker arms were installed. The oil cooler was cleaned and restored.The fan was restored along with the fan housing. A new set of Mahle pistons/cylinders were installed. New set of main bearings, rod bearings, timing chain, timing chain sprocket, electric fuel pump, gasket set, oil filter, gear oil, spark plug wires, spark plugs, heat exchangers, and muffler were installed. The transmission had a new second gear assembly (main shaft), third gear assembly, fourth gear assembly, fifth gear assembly, pinion shaft, bearings, needle cage bearings, and clutch kit installed.
