I was going through some of my Photpoint albums and I ran across these two shots. This is the SEVENTH Porsche 911 ever MADE! It was in need of some work, but it was for sale, but I don't recall how much they were asking.

It looks like the Minnesota winters (rust) had taken their toll on this baby. No, I don't believe factory air was available when this car was produced. There were several aftermarket suppliers, however. Note that this is an old piston compressor rather than a modern rotary one. I think these cars are largely responsible for the extensive corrosion warranties we see today.

Type 901 was only the show car. It was changed to 911 before production began.
