Where are 1965 911 porsche prices ranging from?

 

Javier (San Diego RUF993 owner) just picked up a driver quality longhood for $5,000. I kid you not.

 

there are two decent 1965's on cars.com for $30k's, but they got to be scams...

 

A driver quality 1965 911 (not a '66 with Fall of '65 prodate) is a 6 figure car now. Restored ones and true original survivors are up in 67-68 911S territory.

 

The SWB cars are their own market, and early production dates are at a premium... as GT said, 6-figs is a starting point for a legit car... collectors are eating these early cars up... these are "Concours" candidate cars...$$$$.

 

amber does he have pics of the car? i feel like being sick lol

 

Should'a bought lots of stock in 2007... then you wouldn't feel sick.. you'd feel ocean breezes, Moet, and a nice massage.... oh, and maybe a GT-3...

 

A '65 engine, complete with Solexes just sold on Pelican in 3 days with an ask of $28k. Just the engines for these cars are now $25-30k!

 

Yeah, guy on the other thread has a '72S engine for sale... didn't want to float a number, but that sets the low end IMHO...

 

It's just crazy. 8 years ago I was offered a complete '65 engine with Solexes. $2000 complete or $1000 for Solexes with manifolds, cross linkage and air cleaners. I bought just the carbs and thought I made a crazy deal when I sold them to a vintage FIA race shop in Great Britain for $5k. I could buy an SC if I had that whole engine out in the barn today.

 

I didn't think to take pictures. There was a small dent in the hood, but the rest of the car was perfect. Javier is a realtor and came across it in the garage of a widow that was selling the house. Took a bit of work to the carbs and he was off to the races.

 

If it's a real 65 VIN not just built in 65 a lot of $$$. Very difficult and big money to locate all the correct parts but a correctly restored is 65 is worth a lot of money.

If it is missing the original engine and transmission but has a period correct engine and transmission, would it still have strong value?
How about racing history and ownership?

 

Correct type number is more valuable than if it has something like a 2.4T or a 2.7 swap in it.

Racing history a definite yes. Provenance is very important even if not numbers matching. Many racecars popped their engine. If there is documentation that the original engine blew and current engine was put in and used going forward that is almost as good as numbers matching, especially if the racer is famous.

 

it checks all those boxes
