This is a numbers matching car. Chassis, otor, ransmission, aint color and keys match documents.
305772 was ordered on July 8, 966 by Mr. W.A. Andrews from porsche dealer Gaston Andrey of Framingham, ass. The color specified was Sand Beige and black interior with Pepita seat inserts. Four speed . Options ordered were: bumper horns with rubber pads, atacolor tinted glass, og lamps, ubcap crests, oni shocks, assenger outside mirror, ntenna and loudspeaker. The European Delivery Program was utilized in conjunction with the PCA Treffen on Sept. 19 in Stuttgart. Mr. Andrews enjoyed the car until the early 70s at which time the car was put into storage. Some time in the late 80s the car found it's way to Maine where a family member had an independent recommission the car. During the time the work was being done it was noticed by a local resident who purchased it. This new owner owned a historic 1920s built wooden schooner and flew his own aircraft. He treated his equipment well. The aforementioned independent continued to maintain the car (the owner and independant have remarkable stories in their own right and this information will be given to the new owner). I came across the car in about 2004. Aware of the incredible documentation and the way the car just "was", finally convinced the the owner to sell me the car in 2007.
This Porsche now has 62,900 miles. The driving experience is truly great. It is very solid and tight. It shifts up and down perfectly and pulls right to the redline steadily. Not a squeak, attle or shimmy. The weatherstripping is original so there is some wind noise. I did a compression check today; cylinder 1:150, :152, :152, :140, :148 and 6:150. This is with the engine at temperature and the throttle open as the manual suggests. There is Swepco in the transaxle and fresh Valvoline VR1 in the oil tank. The original Hella 128s are not hooked up and untested. The factory installed switch and relays work fine, he lights were disconnected when the car was painted and not messed with since. A lense is cracked, hey need some help. Everything else electrical works. I have a cut off switch on the battery post. I am going to miss hearing the clock wind itself when I connect the battery to drive the car. The headlights are Cibie Z Beams. I followed good advice and put a relay in the start circuit. No original wires were cut or modified, ust the relay zip tied to the car. The rockers were replaced during the time described above when the car was recommissioned. The history file shows that the rockers were purchased in 1970 and put away with the car. I believe they are for 64-65 cars. There isn't threshold trim on them. Please study the pictures of the installation around the jack spurs; fine and durable but not up to today's standards at top shops. The pan is original, ven the front. There are some bubbles on the door and fenders and all are described by the pictures. They were there as long as I have known the car and have not changed. They are on sheet metal with access behind and not on box sections. I keep the car on an insulated floor and do not drive it in the rain. Bear in mind that the car was painted over 25 years ago. The paint has some blemishes from the years but still presents very well. The chrome has some patina here and there with pitting on the horn grills and some on the door handles. The wheels are original dated 8/66. There is some corrosion on the wheels. The original hubcap crests look great. You see reproductions everywhere and they cannot be mistaken for ones that are real.
The interior is very nice. Please study the seat photos.....those are the original seats. My hat is off to people who have supplied/sourced Pepita and those with skill to recover but these seats are something else altogether. Shown is a picture from 1968 showing the car competing in some sort of gymkhana with a reference to Mr. Andrews and playing on the word "short". He was a bit slight and I have been careful so there you have the condition of the seats. The seatbelts are "Lifeline", ated 1966 with owner's manual. The original rubber mats are excellent and still retain their leather straps. The sisal mats are in good condition. The door cards are excellent and the map pockets are unstretched with no evidence of use at all. All of the surfaces in the interior has the original "taughtness" to it. Nothing reglued, estretched or overstuffed. The perlon pockets in the footwells are not caved in. The sunvisors are remarkably intact and firm. The shift knob is Volkswagon. There is a small mouse hole in the headliner at the base of the "C" pillar. Typical glue weep staining, oo.
Please study the picture of the car being painted. That's as sordid as the car's past has been, nd there is the guy who did it. The glass is all original and has never been off the car, all Sekurit and the Kinonglas-Kristal screen. Actually, he right vent wing was replaced on October 6, 966 at the Werks. I have the paperwork. The fender welting is painted over and there is overspray trunk hinges and the like because this car has never been taken apart. The fenders have the chassis numbers inside the headlight buckets. The original date coded hood struts are still on the car. They no longer work. I replaced the strut for the engine lid but kept the original. The engine bay has unmolested wiring and retains the original sound pad. The Webers have the original safety wires. The fuel pump is original. I have a the black coil. The orange defrost tubes are present as well. The red outlined stickers are there. The chassis number is on the lid. Back under the trunk, he rugs are original with some damage around the battery. The underhood wiring is original and has escaped the often merciless spray paint. Please note that the spare is not there. The record file contains the original factory receipt for a chrome wheel upgrade on the date of delivery at the factory. For four wheels. The spare would then be a painted and probably August dated wheel. The toolkit is very nice and bright. Both screwdrivers. No plug wrench but the Messko and the original touch up stick. The slam panel was painted black and it shouldn't have been...blame the guy in the picture. He also painted over a door strike and latch. I considered removing and stripping but the gaps and the shutting action are perfect and even on both doors. So I didn't mess with them.
Please note the the scan showing the Porsche Delivery Yard in a photo taken in period. Close inspection will reveal tags hanging inside the the windshields on the passenger side. These tags show who the lucky owner is or where the car is to be sent. The scan shows the actual tag that 305772 has. I have never seen another and discussions on the subject have not produced another. I believe that this is the rarest article of original factory paperwork. There is paperwork showing that Mr. Andrews picked out his car at 11:45 on Sept. 19, 966.
On the original Dealer receipt for the final payment, trade in of a '59 A Cabriolet is recorded, hassis number 151037. With the car offered is the service book for the trade-in, have a picture of the car with a metal Parade plate..as well as the plate itself. The 356 was delivered at the 1958 Treffen in Stuttgart and Merano. The grill badge is included. While Mr. Andrews' 356 was just a few days old, e rolled it over on the Nurburgring! The record file contains a Panorama article describing the event. Mr. Andrews was the PCA National Secretary at this time. Getting back to the grill badges shown on the '67; shown is the original 1966 Treffen PCA badge, ery rare in it's own right, riginal to the car that was there, arer still. The Nurburgring badge is from the 1959 Cabriolet. I myself have had the pleasure of lapping the "Green Hell" recently in my own car so I have this badge on the 911. The PCA badge has a rare "Northeast Region" escutcheon. Mr. Andrews was the president of the PCA Northeast region during his ownership and a key figure of it's original formation in the late 50s. The file contains the original draft of the speech written and given by Mr. Andrews at his first meeting as President. Mr. Andrews was very active in the PCA. Together with his wife, e showed this 911 a very active sporting and social life. As Northeast president, e even signed his own certificate for a PCA driver's school...and one for his wife! There is evidence and published results of ice racing, illclimb, utocross, allying, tc. The Andrews attended at least two Parades in the car. I have a packet for one Parade with a plate, ech inspection, tc. There are checkpoint slips and notes from many rallies attended. Two matched Minerva Rally Clocks come with the car. I found them in one of the boxes that accompanied the car as well as one English made "Terry's" holder. I am not sure how these timers were mounted in period but there are references to them on rally notes. I located another "Terry's" clip and mounted the timers on a spare reinforced radio block off plate on the dash. This car was also classified as being as "rally equiped" in results. Included is the 1965 dated accesories book with markings by Mr. Andrews while deciding on the radios offered. Apparently, e didn't order one and the car has a nice original to the car block off plate. I added the period Amco roof rack. The Northeast Region was a real sporting bunch back then with references to ski outings and such so I sourced rare ski attachments as well.
Taken as a whole, his is a remarkable car. Aside from the driving experience of a low mile and undismantled car, t is also an early 6, uilt in 1966 car with a 901/05 "Solex" motor in reference to the cams. These motors, fter the exhaust recall and redesign, put out more than the claimed 130HP. I have the recall letter from Porsche and the receipt for the new "S" exchangers from the dealer. Porsche, ntroducing the "S" at the time, ept the specification at 130 and the "S" at 160 HP. Order was restored with detuned 901/06 motors but these earlier, econtented, base model cars with the accidentally hot Solex motors had their charms and a place in the development history of short wheelbase cars. There is much more that goes with the car. From a Porsche Workshop manual with Factory purchase receipt and supplements and handwritten notes about this car to a German made Porsche book of matches with Mr. Andrews' name embossed on it. Original oval export plates w/certificate. If I included everything this ad would seem interminable. There are boxes of stuff. I am selling this car to pursue another, pecific car. I am not a person who bought and painted the car a month ago and who never wanted it in the first place. What 305772 may need, oney can buy. What it has, oney can't.
