F Body (1964 to 1973)

Porsche 911 (901 / F-Body / early 911, 1964–1973) models represent the purest form of the 911 concept, covering both short-wheelbase (1964–1968) and long-wheelbase (1969–1973) cars. These cars are powered by air-cooled flat-six engines ranging from 2.0 L to 2.4 L, paired exclusively with manual gearboxes, and are defined by low weight, minimal driver aids, and a raw mechanical driving experience. In Australia, genuine early 911s are scarce and almost entirely collector-owned, with values typically ranging from $250,000 to $600,000+, depending heavily on originality, matching numbers, and restoration quality. Early trims such as 911, 911T, 911E, and 911S are all considered blue-chip classics, with emphasis placed far more on correctness and provenance than outright performance. These cars sit at the foundation of Porsche’s 911 lineage and are treated less as used cars and more as historical assets in the Australian market.
