Concours Level Restoration

The story of this car is very unique.

According to the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity issued for this car, this 911 was built as a 1965 model year car and completed at the Zuffenhausen Porsche works on September 2, 1965. It was finished in the same color combination it wears today, 6606 Irish Green over a beige leatherette interior with the 901 5-speed manual transaxle. The new 911 was fitted with American-spec lights and lenses, and shipped off to the States to be received by its first owner.

Service records indicate winemaker Mr. Kurt Kalb of Pennsylvania owned the car in 1971, and it is quite possible that Kalb was the car's first owner. Mr. Kalb is believed to have sold the green 911 to its next long-term owner, Dr. Brody, a psychiatrist at the Embreeville, Pennsylvania psychiatric hospital, in the late 1970s. By the mid-1980s, Dr. Brody had parked the very original 911 in a barn near Spring City, Pennsylvania, and it sat until 2012.

In 2014, the car was purchased by our dealer principal Gary Ackerman to be restored for his private collection. Henk Baars of CarParcUSA was hand-picked to lead the restoration because of his excellent knowledge and outstanding reputation in the Porsche community. The process took nearly four years to complete but in the end, we had stunning "matching numbers" Concours level 1965 911. The car had remained in Mr. Ackerman's collection until recently and is currently on display in our showroom.
