Does the last non-adjustable front suspension car have a greater value?

Hi,

From what I have found on this board I believe I have that last non-adjustable front suspension 911 made. (Vin# 302694)

Question, Does this make this chassis any more valuable than any other early 911.

The argument for added value would be, this is the last 911 built the way Porsche designed it to be.
Also could be argued they were just fixing the first mistake?
What do you all think?
My car is far from the way it came in 65, but the engine/tranny are original and the chassis is not changed under all the exterior mods.
I have been looking into bringing the longhood back and putting some steal back on the fenders/quarters.

Thanks

Joe

1) What do you mean by "non-adjustable" front suspension? I'm not sure I understand?

- Didn't Porsche design and build All 911s? not sure what this means either.

As for scarcity/value, the Early 911 registries might be a better place to ask.

Racer,
The upper strut mounts on the front suspension have no adjustment for camber. The first production run of cars were built this way. Vin#302695 forward has adjustment for camber.

Early cars are very desirable! Converting back will be an expensive proposition BUT you actually might get your money out. Go to an early car dominated web site and post your question there.
