I think the price when the gavel drops will determine if the Type 64 a Porsche.

I was going to post this and noticed that you beat me to it.

Its a great video and Chris Harris did a fantastic job describing how special this car is.

As interesting as the Type 64 is, I also find the very first Porsche ever produced in 1898 ...... and it was an electric vehicle! This just shows how intelligent and forward thinking Ferdinand Porsche was.

Endless self promotion from him/ her. I'm sure someone is on the payroll for this. Nothing is a coincidence when he's involved. Never bought the aww shucks I just love the cars routine from him and she's a paid writer. I'm sure they're both lovely people personally but bidness is bidness...

Cool story. I'll look for it in the Pre-war Air Cooled section after it gets moved...
