Bonhams

Porsche's perennial 911 first hit the streets in 1964 as the "type 901," replacing the 356, which had already established the company as a benchmark sports car manufacturer. Aside from retaining the rear-engine layout of its predecessor, the 911 was otherwise an entirely new car. The body shell was now of unitary construction, and the 356's VW-based suspension was dropped in favor of a more modern McPherson strut and trailing arm arrangement. In its first incarnation, Porsche's single-overhead-camshaft, air-cooled flat six displaced 1,991cc and produced 130bhp. Prior to 1969, the 911 had an 87-inch wheelbase &#40;later increased to 89.4"&#41; which made for sharp handling, although high-speed maneuvers could bite inexperienced or clumsy drivers.

Type 901, as it was originally named before Peugeot's official protests, became so widely recognized it can be identified simply by its silhouette. This elegant form lives on in the profile of the newest Carrera coupes, and the passion of Porsche enthusiasts remains second to none.


THE CAR OFFERED

According to its accompanying Porsche Geburtsurkunde &#40;Birth Certificate&#41; and Kardex, this handsome early 911, chassis 301379, was delivered on the 31st of May 1965 via Porsche Cars Pacific, in Burlingame, California. The Kardex additionally lists the first owner as Walter Matson of Pleasanton, California. A well-equipped car, it left the Stuttgart works finished in 6405 Champagne Yellow over Black leatherette upholstery, with options including a rare Webasto Heater and a Blaupunkt radio. Early ownership and service history is tracked on the Kardex through 1967, with more recent history being well documented in the accompanying file.

The car eventually found its way Europe, with supporting documentation showing it in Sweden in 1991, and entering the Netherlands in approximately 1997, were it remained for 26 years. The restoration began in 2016, taking until 2023 to complete. In 2024, it returned to the USA where it has remained since, being kept in excellent condition with limited use since coming back to our shores.

Early 2-liter 911s are prized by enthusiasts for their deft handling and pure, unfettered design. This lovely example ticks all the boxes for marque devotees and is ready to shine on rallies, tours, and concours events.
