This very clean example from arid Arizona was built on January 19, 1967 at Porsche’s Zuffenhausen factory and came with the following options: vented chrome wheels (still on the car), noise suppression for radio antenna, a loudspeaker and Goodyear tires.

It was capable of up to 30 miles per US gallon fuel economy because of a high-efficiency engine, low weight and low drag.
