What looks like a first-year 911, sounds like a first-year 911, and drives like a first-year 911? That’s right, the Porsche 901.
The Petersen Automotive Museum gives us an in-depth look at one of the very first 911s—an example from 1964—and explains why it is one of only a handful with a “901” designation.
Interesting video.
I recall one owner of a 901 back in the 1980s - I met him racing at Portland and he was moaning about damaging an engine and needing to somehow stitch it back together again as it carried numbers that identified it as a 901. Given the value of really early 901/911s today, I hope he was successful in the repairs!
