1965 | Porsche 911 2.0

 The first, the mother of a successful family. With its merits (many) and defects (some youthful vices), the 1965 911 embodies the true DNA that Porsche has been carrying forward for 60 years on its flagship model. It is a true Gran Touring, a sports car suitable for everyday use, with which you could go racing on the weekend. From the theater to the track as claimed the advertisement.

​

This model came off the assembly line on May 25, 1965, produced for the Italian market, to be delivered to Mr. Attilio Fontana of Cuneo, the first owner, on June 14 of the same year. The car reflected the current configuration, black with brown interior and central pied-de-poule. The only extra option was the Webasto supplementary heating.

After about three years the car was sold in Turin, where it acquired its current license plate and had two additional owners in 1970 and 1975.

​

After a long period of oblivion, the car underwent a long and complete restoration just completed following the specific guidelines of the first 911s produced which present numerous differences compared to subsequent models.

​

The 6 cylinders engine deliver 130 horsepower which are more than enough to give unexpected satisfaction both in sports driving and in motorway transfers: with its typical Solex carburetors it is brilliant, thanks to a complete reconstruction following all the improvements made over the years. Even the 901 gearbox, typically with “dog-leg” scheme, was completely overhauled. The suspensions set-up, mounted on 4.5-inch rims - with chrome finish - and CN36 Pirelli tyres, make this 911 among the most fun and lively to drive on twisty roads: it is a 911 that you would never want to get off. Who writes, has had one for a long time, used almost as a "daily driver" with pleasant satisfactions!

​

One of the main peculiarities of the 911 2000 of 1965 is the interior: the green gauges, the wooden steering wheel combined with the dashboard characterize the first two years of production, in combination with the comfortable seats finished in skai and fabric - to travel better even in summer - and the velour carpet to complete a familiar interior for fans of the model, but with dedicated rare and special notes.
