1968 911 15,000 Mile Time Capsule
You read right! 15,481 ORIGINAL MILES from new. This great old 911 Sunroof Coupe was parked in a New York garage in the early 1970's and forgotten for nearly five decades. It is hard to imagine, however it is true. There was a newspaper from 1971 in the back seat. The registration on the near perfect, original Sigla windshield reads 1973. The original blue New York plate has never been off the car.
This old Porsche is a completely untouched original car that has never been apart or messed with. I have fully recommissioned it including rebuilt brake system, rebuilt fuel system, full service, all fluids, and four expensive Avon 185 70 15 tires on the original finish deep 5.5" x 15" Fuchs wheels. This car now runs and drives like a new 1968 911. It starts easily, runs strong and stops as it should. It performs very well. Amazingly it is not a leaker!
The interior is truly a time warp in 100% incredible original condition with very little sign of age or wear. Even the elastic on the door pockets still hold tight. Nothing has been taken apart or disassembled. The door panels are like new as well as the rest of the interior panels and none have ever been removed. There is no visible wear around the pedals. The dash, visors and instruments are exceptional. The steering wheel looks almost new. The glass and aluminum trim are almost without any scratching and near perfect. The body is arrow straight with perfect gaps. Unfortunately the original Light Ivory paint did not age as well as the rest of the car and now has that great patina paint finish. The passenger door was repainted at one point prior to storage.
This great old Porsche is ROCK SOLID EVERYWHERE. There are no rust or rot issues, no soft or thin spots anywhere on the car. The surface rust on the paint surface has been chemically neutralized. It can be kept and enjoyed as a patina car as it is.
Options include a rare electric sliding sunroof, through the grill fog lights, sway bars, leather steering wheel and five Fuchs alloy wheels. There is a full tool kit, see the images.
Vintage Porsche cars such as this one are few and far between and have become difficult to source. This Porsche represents a rare opportunity to acquire a very low mile short wheelbase 911 for a reasonable price. It is ready to drive and enjoy as it is, after all anyone can have a restored 911. If you choose it can be painted to easily look like a 15,000 mile car again. I purchased this Porsche from the estate of the original owner in Brooklyn, New York. I have a clear title in hand. It is a true time capsule that you will never likely to see another again.
