PORSCHE 912 1965 CHAMPAGNE YELLOW COUPE LHD MANUAL BLACK INTERIOR

One of the first 1965 Porsche 912’s in Champagne Yellow 6405 with Black Leatherette Interior. Production date 16/07/1965 912 Karmann Coupe, according to the certificate of authenticity this is an all matching numbers car.

The first 912’s had painted dashboards the same colour as the exterior of car, thus creating what is now referred to as a “painted dash” 912.  (In actuality, the dashboards of all early 9-series Porsches were painted the same colour as the exterior, but as a cost cutting measure, the first 912s were then not given the additional layer of anti-glare matte black paint and strip of teak wood trim that came standard on the 911.)  The first 912’s  also had the 4 screw hole horn grilles.

Has almost all of its original features such as: squared off lower dash pad, unusual horn air cleaners, painted dash, Solex Carburators, steel wheels, steering wheel (missing horn pad), and 1965 paint code. There are some paint bubbles in various spots but body is very solid and ready for a great restoration. The engine starts.  This is a great opportunity to own a very rare classic Porsche.

The chrome work on the car is superb with everything attached, opening front ¼ light windows. The interior is all complete and also in very good condition. The car is authentic with a black interior and matching numbers engine.

TC 912

⏱ So funny the path life can take you. Three years ago today, when a I was still living in Ohio and primarily filming electronic music, I put up this little 912 video on instagram and found this @bentonperformance guy was all over the #porsche912 hashtag. His shop looked pretty cool so I messaged him and said, hey, would love to work with you at some point. His reply was, well, you should probably come to Mexico for this vintage road race, the @lacarrerapanamericana – Initially I thought he was crazy but after a few phone calls we met John in Veracruz and filmed an entire documentary on the race. So many things for me can be traced back to this little 912 video- The La Carrera, nearly 60 episodes of @petrolicious, things we shot in Europe this past summer; it's amazing that it may never have been had it not been for meeting John and bonding over 912s. The universe is funny and works in mysterious ways, if you let it! – @jeremyheslup
