Concours was owned by Bill Wuesthoff who raced Porsche's at Sebring, mostly 718 - RS 60's (1961-1962), for Porsche Car Imports along with Augie Pabst and Bruce Jennings as well as a privateer in over 100 races, including the Nurburgring, Road America, Meadowdale, etc., etc.. http://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/results/Bill-Wuesthoff-USA.html First owner installed rally equipment including a rare Chrome Halda Speedpilot and Heuer 24 Hour Mastertime as well as a Sebring Stopwatch on the glove box. He also installed a Derrington wood rimmed steering wheel with the rare double stalk turn signal and flasher combo that he got from Concours Motors and Marchal air horns. Wuesthoff bought the car back for his personal use in 1959 and installed engine *P715495* sometime in the early-mid 60's. Being a works driver and dealer he had access to everything Porsche had to offer and a B engine was superior to an A engine in so many ways. Now we know better but that was then, this is now. During the mid 60's (1963) the car was shipped to the Porsche family home where a cloisonn Zell-am-See badge was attached to the dash to commemorate the visit. Present owner bought the car in 1997 with 21,587 miles when a full mechanical restoration was done between 1997-99 in preparation for living abroad. In 2000 the car was shipped to Geneve, Switzerland, via France, when owner was posted to the UN Diplomatic Corp. Instead of the usual, and ugly plastic current, CD Plate a very rare period "Oval" was obtained and mounted - much to the annoyance of the UN Bureaucracy who are not known to bend rules. On the other hand Porsche people are not accustomed to hearing "no" for an answer... CONDITION - PRESENT: NEVER Any Accidents FULL mechanical restoration - Drive Anywhere, Anywhere. Engine (Dick Weiss), Transmission (Mile Robbins), Suspension (Vic Skirmants), Z Bar Powder coated. Koni's, etc. Dual Braking System for Safety. Mileage of 28,252 is somewhat accurate. I say somewhat because the speedometer cable broke and I drove it a few thousand miles before replacing it. More miles will be put on weather permitting.... All work that was done and all the receipts are present as well as before and after engine specs. Some of the old parts were retained and are included. Only the BEST parts were used. Sodium Filled Valves, ARP Fasteners, Big Bore, Mild and tractable Elgin Cam, Full Flow Oil System using a cast alloy finned Fram Head and a removable Cannon Filter Housing of the HP 6 size.(adds a full quart of oil to the system), 40 IDA Webers, Powder Coating, Cadmium (not bright zinc but realCadmium) Plating, etc. The Weber's have beautiful Period Alloy Velocity Stacks with a Wire Mesh "Bubble," that are covered by Cast and Finned Alloy Air Cleaner Housings. THAT"S attention to detail... There are 3 full binders of receipts and documents that go with the car. Still retains the original RED LEATHER interior which is in Excellent condition as is the headliner and other soft trim. Very very presentable, car will drive anywhere as the engine, transmission and suspension were all redone with ALL new parts. The car has PERFECT gaps and has never been taken apart. The opening panels are all matching numbers (010) and all the glass is original to this car. It comes with rare chrome 5.5 inch Fuchs wheels (not Brazilian Mangels) with Dunlop 185/65/15 tires as well as the correct date coded spare and Michelin X Spot. Being owned by a dealer (1959-1997) all Porsche parts were used during it's lifetime. No "Home Depot" hardware or other non Porsche parts used. Current Owner bought the car in 1997 and continued to use only Porsche parts whenever possible. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a genuine T1 -2 sunroof coupe (originally, but not currently, in the most attractive color - Aquamarine) that has period and correct rally equipment since new along with some rare accessories and an impeccable and interesting history including a Factory Works Driver and Diplomatic Service. A car that has had ALL the mechanical work done. For a LOT more money, you probably can find a better car but you can't buy history, ownership, color or provenance, period. It's the right car with the right equipment and the right history, no excuses. By Appointment Only Please Call for More Details We can Assist in Shipping Worldwide Clean Car Fax.
