1966 Porsche 911
- Engine
- Weber carburettor-fed flat-six (capacity unspecified)
- Colour
- Light ivory
A late-1966-built 1967-model-year Porsche 911, originally delivered to E. G. Whitney, a mechanical engineer in the NASA space programme who part-exchanged a 356 coupé for it. After Whitney's death the car passed to his nephew, who had it repainted in its original light ivory and mechanically refreshed before garaging it in Arizona for roughly three decades. A comprehensive recommissioning by a Porsche specialist in Scottsdale in 2017, costing over $20,000, returned it to road-going condition. The car is accompanied by invoices tracing back to the original purchase.
