1966 911 Barn Find Story w/PICS

[Craig_D]

Wow, that's incredible! Man, it must make you smile to drive her on a nice sunny day.

Very cool. Always good to see one of the old ones restored. Like rescuing a puppy from a kennel.

A wonderful find! For tires, consider Vredestein Classics. Please resist the urge to go low-profile or 16-inch.

Wow, what a great story and find!

[eolson]

What a beautiful find. All I kept thinking while reading the story was that it went to the right home. I wouldn't have painted it either! Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Great story and great find!

[John W.]

Great read. Thanks for saving one of the family. Hope you enjoy it.

Those air cleaners look like the ones on the first 232. What's the year and VIN?

[WPOZZZ]

What a Xmas gift!

Amazing story, Patina. When you sent me the "cleaned up" photos, I didn't realize it was this same car. When I get down to your end of the country, you must give me a ride in this car.

[pookie]

Where in NC was the car?

[Matt Monson]

Great story and car.

[BER]

You have done what most of us dream about.

Hopefully you can bring it to the Parade next summer In French Lick, IN. I'm sure you would bring home at least one Concours trophy.

Enjoy you new ride; she's a beauty!

Great story! Thanks

That's fantastic; you are a very lucky man. Obviously the seller is elderly and could maybe use some cash at this point, but he is clever enough to have kept himself appraised of the market value for a proper car. A little dust doesn't hurt. You both did a good deal. Congrats.

Nice, I have a similar story. I bought 303581 last year after it sat in a garage for the past 17 years. Yours is much nicer though .

Can you tell us what you did to get it running?
New oil, new battery, drained the tank, new carbs, etc?

[JJ 911SC]

Look great.

For anybody, what is the © CCC watermark on all the photos?
