1967 | Porsche 911 R Tribute
Seller's Introduction
We are proud to present our fully restored 1967 Porsche 911 R Tribute. This is the lightest, purest and most valuable 911 of all time. Porsche factory built only 4 prototypes and 20 production 911R models which makes this Tribute an extremely rare piece of Porsche history. Original 911R are currently bringing upwards of $1.2MM. This homage to the rare 911R began with an original 911 in Light Ivory with a rust-free chassis. With show quality paint and a highly detailed under carriage, our signature lightweight Porsche weighs in at 1,850 pounds with a combined 2 liter twin plug engine at over 200 horsepower. Gaswerks Garage's immense effort and labor engineered a skillful product to recreate the Porsche as close to the factory 911R as possible. Its rich, luxurious 911 aesthetics are preserved in this restoration, as well as its renowned air-cooled mechanics and engineering. More importantly, our 911R homage creates an exhilarating, unique experience for an overall effect of a taut and feel-some drivers car. 369 miles shown.
