A 1965 Porsche 911 Coupe in Polo Red, among the earliest examples produced, built before July 1965 and delivered to its first owner on 29 November 1965. Powered by the original 2.0-litre air-cooled flat-six mated to a five-speed transaxle, the car retains its first-applied paint, original interior, and wood-rimmed steering wheel.
