First registration 12.1966 Matching numbers and color Porsche Certificate of Authenticity 48 years in the first ownership of Howard Shoemaker Swiss road registration with veteran entry The Porsche 911 Coupé offered here was delivered by Porsche Cars America in November 1966, in the color Polo Red and black leatherette, to the famous cartoonist Howard Shoemaker from Omaha, Nebraska. Howard Shoemaker worked for Porsche USA and Playboy, among others, in the 1960s. His Porsche cartoons were much appreciated in Stuttgart. The booklet with Shoemaker cartoons that Porsche published for its customers in 1964 is a rare and sought-after item today (an original is included with the car). Cartoons by Howard Shoemaker were also published in various issues of the Porsche Christophorus magazine. Shoemaker covered a total of 55,000 miles in his 911 before he parked it in his garage in the early 1980s and only finally parted with the car in 2014, after almost 48 years of ownership. It found a new owner and enthusiast in the UK, who gave the coupé a complete restoration. About a year ago, this beautiful Porsche 911 Coupé was imported to Switzerland and is, fresh from a major service and MOT veteran, in excellent and well-maintained collector’s condition. It is matching numbers and color and very well documented via a copy of the Kardex with all the facts of the first delivery, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the original US title and many other documents. The Porsche 911, also known as the nine-eleven for short, is the Stuttgart-based company’s best-known sports car and is regarded as the epitome of the brand. Body variants are the Coupé, the Cabriolet and the Targa. In the past, the Porsche 911 was successfully used as a racing car in the World Sports Car Championship and the German Racing Championship. The first 911 version built in series from September 1964 was the so-called original model presented at the IAA 1963 with a 130 hp 2-liter six-cylinder boxer engine. Even when stationary, this 911 is a homage to the original, the clarity of the mechanics and the art of omission.
