A remarkably unrestored 1966 model-year Porsche 911, completed at the factory on 22 September 1965 and delivered to its first owner in California on 5 October of that year. Finished in Polo Red over black leatherette, the car was laid up after a 1975 Porsche Parade outing and survived in highly original condition, retaining its original engine. It earned a Best in Class award at the 2013 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance before being donated to the Petersen Automotive Museum, for whose benefit it is now offered at auction.
