66 911
I just bought the most original 65/66 car I have ever seen. 303 997. Aga blue with red interior! One owner, all the original delivery books, BOS, ect.... Original paint! ( not needing a respray). The car is 100% original, down the the radio delete plate.
This car is as John Cramer described his. 2 hole grills, washer bottle, ect...
Here is my question: As Bob stated above, chassis # 303 390 was the last car built in June of 65. The 66 model year was the first year of world production. ( considering the 66 model was the first year for the 911 in the states). Thus my chassis # 303 997 being the 607th car built after June of 65, one considers that the car was definatly built in the 65 calender year. The books all agree there were 3500+ cars built for the 66 model year. If you do the math, it figures to about 300 cars a month being built. Again, putting my # 997 in the build date of 65 calender year.
The engine # is type 901/05, with webers. The books say that the switch to the 901/05 with webers was not until Jan.66 ? The original owner says the engine has never been out. From what I can see, he is correct. The original BOS , and the inside of the service booklet show the 907276 engine #. Definatly, NO engine swaps.
