The old guy who lived across the street from me had one of those old Jeep wagons: he donated it to one of those car charity outfits.

Very cool photos. Just texted them to Hugh’s son and he informed me that the son of one of the salesmen at the Porsche dealership still has a wheel and tire off of the Deserter after all these years! Thanks for posting those.

Is this for real?

As rust free as new - the Stainless Steel Porsche 911
https://www.dsmstainlessproducts.co.uk/porsche.html

Quote:
The 911S is currently housed in the huge car collection of the Deutsches Museum, in Munich, Germany where is has stood since 1974. Though little is known about the car, reports suggest it was built by Porsche in 1967 – though no one can confirm who commissioned the vehicle which is reported to have cost over twice that of the then standard 911S.

The car clocked up an impressive 93,000 miles over the intervening 7 year period under the drivership of Heinz Todtmann, director of the Informationsstelle Edelstahl Rostfrei (Stainless Steel Information Center) in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Other than the body – which contributed to a 110 pounds reduction in weight over its standard steel counterpart – the car has standard fittings and engines, which boasts a 2 litre, 6 cylinder, engine and 160HP before exiting though a custom made stainless steel exhaust system..................

.......Rumours are that three of these stainless steel Porches were actually built, but the whereabouts of the remaining two are unknown.....
Guess it's for real.

Deutsches Museum: Germany's greatest cars in the flesh

That’s where the Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum comes in. Located near the heart of Munich in scenic Bavaria, it’s home to hundreds of significant cars, scooters, motorcycles and trains built since the 1800s. Most of the cars displayed in the museum are German but there are some exceptions to the rule, including a Lancia Lambda and a Tatra T87. Join Autocar for a virtual stroll through the collection’s highlights:
