911 Early Porsche 911 Video Buying Guide

[JHF]

The Porsche 911 is one of the most famous sports cars in the world, and getting an early one as a usable driver certainly won’t disappoint. However, before you buy a classic 911, you need to be made aware of a few key areas you should look out for as they may herald problems.
911s, as water can seep into the inner reaches of the body where it can do horrendous damage that may not be visible from outside – when you start seeing the rust on the outside, particularly on the lower part of the car, you know it’ll be much worse when you start peeling away the layers.

Engines need special attention too; they need to be set up correctly, otherwise they may require a full rebuild.

Then there’s also the question of spec and model too, but those really are up to you to choose and don’t have any differing effects on the key problem areas or the kind of maintenance you do after you’ve purchased it.

The video posted below courtesy of Hagerty Classic Cars highlights all the main things to pay attention to when in the market for an early 911.
