The Beatles were topping the charts with Ticket to Ride, people were glued to their screens watching the first spacewalks, and in Zuffenhausen, an icon was being born: the Porsche 911.
And this example? This stunning 911 was built on November 12 of that very year, making it one of the earliest 911s ever produced. And if that weren't enough, it comes in what is perhaps the most desirable configuration imaginable: Slate Grey with Pepita houndstooth interior. Even Steve McQueen couldn't have chosen better.
Fully Restored and Rebuilt by Renowned Specialists
In 2024, this Porsche 911 underwent a meticulous, full restoration and mechanical overhaul by respected marque experts. The result? A breathtaking 911 is now gracing our showroom, gleaming with new life. Even more impressive: it's a matching-numbers car. The engine and chassis are exactly as they left the factory together in 1965.
Stunning Bodywork
The body? It's as if you've stepped straight onto the floor of the 1965 Frankfurt Motor Show. Crisp lines, perfectly aligned panels, and deep, lustrous paintwork. The chrome trim sparkles, fresh and flawless. Everything about this car makes it abundantly clear that it was handled with care, skill, and reverence by true professionals.
Step inside, and you're greeted by the iconic Pepita pattern on the seatsâa blend of elegance and motorsport heritage. The dashboard is classic Porsche: clean, legible, and purpose-built. It all feels fresh and new, yet steeped in unmistakable 1960s character.
Matching Numbers and a Fantastic Drive
The engine? It's the original 2.0-liter air-cooled flat-six producing 130 horsepower. That number might seem modest today, but don't forget: this car weighs less than your average modern grocery-getter. And when you turn the key, you'll understand immediatelyâthis is no tame little hatchback.
In fact, it's not just a car. It's a rolling piece of history, something to be treasured. The legendary air-cooled soundtrack bubbles up from the rear like it already knows it's part of automotive royalty. It doesn't just startâit begs to be driven. That urgency, that vitality? It's baked into the very soul of this machine.
And thanks to its recent rebuild, everything feels tight and responsive. The engine fires up without hesitation, purring flawlessly on all six cylinders. Driving a freshly restored classic like this is an experience in and of itself.
Once you're moving, the car's lightness and short wheelbase immediately make themselves felt. It becomes crystal clear: this is the original 911, the blueprint for every 911 that followed. Driving a short-wheelbase 911 is something every enthusiast should do at least once in their lifetime. The balance, the feedback, the raw mechanical purity - this is Porsche in its most distilled form. And in this conditionâshowroom fresh, perfectly sorted, and fully documentedâthis is a collector-grade 911.
