The car was purchased new from the renowned Brumos Porsche Dealership in Jacksonville, Florida by Mr. Ivey on 12/12/1969. Mr. Ivey was a local electrical contractor business owner, and a very detailed perfectionist as reflected in his record keeping. So uncommon was his attention to detail that he even kept his documented purchasing and negotiating research from several dealerships! Then following settling the deal with Brumos, Mr. Ivey maintained the original Dealer Transfer document, the Pre-Purchase Invoice, and even Letters of Service Instruction, including several stamped envelopes of mailed correspondence! In all the years of dealing with classic Porsches, we have never, and I mean never, run across a car with this much documentation and attention to record-keeping!
Every oil change, maintenance record, service, etc…it’s all here. Want to know how many oil changes were done between any particular time period? Want to know if the all too important engine upgrades were accomplished? Want to know who worked on the car and when/where? Want to confirm that Auto House of Charlotte was the Porsche dealership that rebuilt engine and transmission at 61,718 miles on 2/28/1981? It’s all here… Just thumb through inches and inches of records and receipts, all meticulously preserved and maintained for the next owner’s peace of mind and equal pride of ownership.
I purchased the car from Mr. Ivey’s son-in-law, Mr. Wildman, who had the pleasure of driving, maintaining, and handling the sale once Mr. Ivey's health prevented him from continuing to enjoy this spectacular Porsche 911T. Shortly after humbly accepting the car from Mr. Wildman, in February of 2016, unfortunately Mr. Ivey passed away. His passion over his many years of Porsche ownership was readily apparent to anyone close to him, all of which were familiar with his previous ownership of a stunning, white Porsche 356 Cabriolet originally purchased from Highland Motors (Spartanburg, South Carolina's local dealership in the early 60’s). A copy of Mr. Ivey's obituary provided in the documentation notes Mr. Ivey’s background and his many accomplishments as well, providing you with some insight into this very special, original owner’s life.
As if the documentation wasn’t already beyond anything we’ve ever seen, included with this sale is also an exclusive video interview of Mr. Dewey Nichols. Mr. Nichols was the co-owner of Highland Motors, Mr. Ivey’s local Porsche dealer. The two gentlemen were close personal friends, and Mr. Nichols is still in contact to this day with another now retired friend, “Mudd”, the very mechanic who serviced this car from new. “Mudd” was even involved in the Brumos air-conditioning installation and went on to service the car during its early years through the first 20,000 miles or so. The video is simply incredible! In it, Mr. Nichols further describes, validates and provides additional details regarding the extensive documentation on this wonderful 1970 911T, including details not normally documented via invoice! Wow… The video interview also includes Mr. Ken Ward, the Porsche Service Manager for Leroy Cannon Motors in Greenville, South Carolina who in August 13, 1971 validated Porsche's follow-up of a paint issue with the car. Mr. Nichols also recalls the many accessories available through Brumos such as the original, specially ordered 3-piece luggage set that I received with the car. Mr. Nichols even validated that the local paint shop in Spartanburg, Trotters, was their Porsche dealership’s authorized shop of choice. A picture also provided herein demonstrates that a very insignificant right fender/door scrape occurred in the early 1980’s. Based on what we know of the owner, Mr. Ivey, it will not surprise you that the documentation shows a Trotter’s itemized, glass-out paint work and rubber replacement in 12/18/1981.
The detailed and extremely extensive documentation speaks volumes of both the owner and the love and care provided for this very special car.
