Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Polished Rudge knockoff wheels, luggage rack, multi band radio. A sharp and impressive restoration that shows little use other than minor creasing of the seat cushions. No Bondo. Very sound and solid. Engine number comes from the 1965 912 90hp sequence. No Reserve.

Market commentary

$65,000 seems like a lot for a set of polished Rudge knockoff wheels but what other explanation can there be for bidding $100,000 for a $35,000 Porsche with a non matching engine OK, so it is well restored and impressively solid. Maybe its a $45,000 Porsche. That still makes the wheels $55,000. This is a two fer: One Porsche for the price of two.
