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.

Historical Significance

• First full production year 911 – 1 of only 235 built for 1965
• Irish Green over black leatherette – Classic Porsche color combination
• Numbers-matching 2.0L flat-six (130hp) – Original factory engine
• Original Type 901 5-speed manual transmission – Pure analog driving experience
• Porsche Certificate of Authenticity included – Factory documentation
• 45k miles showing on odometer (TMU) – Low mileage example

Recent Restoration Details

• Cosmetic refurbishment using factory NOS parts – Authentic restoration
• Complete interior restoration – Recently fully restored interior
• Correct basket-weave leatherette seats – Period-correct materials
• New salt & pepper lightweight carpets – Authentic factory specification
• Preserved original headliner – Maintaining historical integrity
• Full mechanical service – Ensuring optimal operation and reliability

Interior Features

• Early green-faced gauges – First-year 911 instrumentation
• Wood dash trim – Classic Porsche interior elegance
• Period AMCO walnut shift knob – Authentic accessory
• Black leatherette upholstery – Recently fully restored
• Basket-weave pattern seats – Correct early 911 interior design

Why This 911 Stands Out

• Ultimate early 911 purity – No later model updates or modifications
• Retains all early 911 hallmarks – Thin-gauge body panels and elegant chrome
• Small 4.5″ Fuchs wheels – Correct early 911 wheel specification
• Dual Weber 40 IDA carbs – Authentic performance induction
• Equal parts museum piece and driving machine – Perfect collector example
