Vehicle Description
1965 Porsche 911 – Irish Green First-Year Gem
The 1965 Porsche 911 represents the dawn of a legendary sports car lineage, and this stunning Irish Green (with black leatherette) example is one of just 235 produced in its debut year. Meticulously refurbished using Porsche New-Old-Stock parts and retaining its numbers-matching 2.0L flat-six engine, this rare early 911 combines historical significance with freshly restored driving readiness.

Why This 911 Stands Out

- Thin-gauge body panels
- Small 4.5″ Fuchs wheels
- Elegant chrome accents
The Perfect Porsche:
Equal parts museum piece and driving machine, this 911 offers collectors a chance to own the most authentic iteration of Zuffenhausen’s masterpiece.
