This 1965 Porsche 911 was ordered with a Golde electric retracting sunroof, Option number 9474. It is believed that no more than 42 coupes from that model year were so equipped. A unique feature of this early sunroof option was its drainage system, via a small hole above each rear quarter glass, an approach that carried over from the later 356s. Other factory options included a Webasto auxiliary gas heater and tinted (Catacolor) glass.
This Porsche has the European instrumentation and its earliest known owner was from California. It appears that the car was upgraded with a set of chromed steel wheels during that period, which the car retains today. After the owner passed, the car was bequeathed to his daughter. She in turn sold the car to a family friend, Mr. Eslie Sykes, of Durham, North Carolina, in the 1990s. After enjoying the car for several years, it was placed into dry and heated storage in the basement of his rural home, where it remained until 2015, when it acquired by its current caretaker.
The car was then given a restoration, including a respray in the original 6604 Light Ivory.
The odometer currently shows 44,715 kilometers. It has its originals pare wheel, jack, and tools.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2017
