Das Fahrzeug im Detail

In 1965 the Speedster was purchased by a well-known executive from NBC who would keep the car at his Greenwich, CT home until his passing in 2017. During his fifty-two years with the car, he was a very active participant in Porsche Club of America events when time permitted. Over the years, all necessary service items were tended to, and the car was never left to sit for exceedingly long periods of time. In the early 1990s a full restoration was commission and carried out by Heritage Automotive Restorations Ltd. of Pawling, New York. It was during this restoration that the car was painted red, although the family remembers a time when it was yellow.

After the owner’s passing in 2017, the car was moved to Southern California where it lived with family until being sold to European Collectibles in 2024. During that seven-year period, it also saw regular use and regular maintenance by RS Enterprises of Ventura, CA.

After being purchased by European Collectibles, the paint and chrome were polished and found to be quite good thanks to careful storage. The undercarriage was original and needed attention, so it was fully stripped to steel, the metal was repaired as needed and then give a factory style undercoating. The wheels were refinished, new tires fitted, and the interior and top were redone. The mechanical systems were tuned and inspected.

We are excited to offer this Speedster from a long-term owner, with good documentation, a matching number drivetrain, and original body panels.
