1965 Porsche 911 2.0 — Fully Restored in Rare Golf Blue with Electric Sliding Sunroof
Mileage: 1,497 | Engine: 2.0-Liter Air-Cooled Six-Cylinder Boxer | Transmission: 5-Speed Manual | Condition: Extensive Ground-Up Restoration
This exceptionally restored 1965 Porsche 911 2.0 presents a rare and elegant example of Porsche’s legendary early 911 lineup, finished in the beautiful and uncommon “Golf Blue” — a special color that perfectly complements the timeless silhouette of the classic German sports car. Every inch of this 911 reflects a commitment to authenticity and detail, having undergone a complete, ground-up restoration that honors its original factory specifications.
From the front, the iconic oval headlights and narrow grille sit flush against a flawlessly finished body, the Golf Blue paint offering a rich, deep gloss that highlights the sculpted fenders and clean, purposeful lines that defined Porsche’s early design ethos. The electric sliding sunroof, a rare and desirable option for these early models, adds a touch of open-air freedom while maintaining the sleek coupe profile when closed.
The car’s sides showcase the signature long hood, gently curving roofline, and compact rear, all restored with exacting care. The paintwork is pristine, with all body panels aligned precisely and fitment that reflects the quality of a professional restoration. Classic chrome trim accents the windows and door handles, offering subtle contrast to the vibrant blue body. The iconic Fuchs-style wheels (or period-correct alternatives, if fitted) wear period-correct tires, ensuring both authentic appearance and confident handling.
At the rear, the distinct 911 tail lights and rear grille mesh have been carefully refurbished. The rear engine lid opens to reveal the renowned air-cooled 2.0-liter flat-six boxer engine — rebuilt to factory specifications and producing the original 130 horsepower. The engine bay is clean and orderly, with all mechanical components either restored or replaced with OEM-quality parts. The exhaust emits a crisp, classic Porsche note, perfectly matching the car’s vintage spirit.
Inside, the cabin is a showcase of originality and craftsmanship. The seats and door panels have been restored in period-correct materials and colors, echoing the understated elegance Porsche was known for. The dash remains free of cracks, housing original or sympathetically restored gauges that include the classic tachometer, speedometer, and essential auxiliary dials. Switchgear is fully functional, with the electric sliding sunroof controls providing effortless operation.
A classic 5-speed manual gearbox delivers smooth and precise shifts, inviting drivers to experience the pure, analog connection to the road that early Porsche models are celebrated for. The steering wheel is restored and retains its vintage charm, perfectly centered and responsive. The overall driving environment speaks to a careful blend of preservation and thoughtful restoration, designed to offer an authentic experience without sacrificing reliability.
This 911’s extensive restoration is comprehensively documented with detailed photographic records from start to finish, along with a professional valuation report that underscores its exceptional quality and condition. Having covered just 1,497 miles since the completion of its restoration, this 911 remains fresh and ready to be enjoyed on both the road and in shows.
A rare color, a desirable sunroof option, and a thorough mechanical and cosmetic refresh combine to make this 1965 Porsche 911 2.0 a standout offering for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Whether as a weekend driver or a centerpiece in a Porsche collection, this car delivers all the character, style, and engineering excellence that define the golden era of Porsche sports cars.
