This car is blue, but despite the patina, it wasn’t born in this color: underneath, there are three more.

The seller indeed states that the car was originally ivory in color, followed by repaints in red, then green, and finally the well-worn blue that you see in the photos in the listing, which we quite like even though there is very little of that blue paint left. Furthermore, aside from the condition of the paint, this car has another drawback that, for many, is actually a significant advantage: the engine is not original.

The importance of engine originality is well-known for vintage cars, and it’s even more crucial for a Porsche, given its discerning and meticulous enthusiasts and collectors. However, the good news is that the installed engine comes from a 1967 911S, a very rare model. If the engine is complete and functional, as in this case, it’s worth almost as much as the asking price for the entire car. Although the car still needs some work to be a daily driver, it comes with ample documentation dating back to 1990. Find it for sale at $44,500 here in Denver, CO.
