My beautiful Porsche 911 backdated Hotrod. This car has undergone a complete transformation
during a two year labor of love renovation. The goal of the car was to create a lightweight car that was capable of
performance but also looked great and was civil. The car was purchased by me from the previous owner out of
Arizona. The car started out life as a yellow 1976 911S. Before my ownership it was painted a pearl white and
converted to a Steel widebody turbo look car with a 3.2L engine swap from a 1988 Carrera. Overall it was in pretty
good shape but I had a plan to make it what it is now.
The Restoration:
Once I received the car it was completely stripped to the bare chassis. All panels, glass, headliner, sound
deadening, rubber seals, etc were removed. I sent the car to a Porsche specialist, Werks 11, where they completely
stripped all the paint down to bare metal and fit and installed the new Rennspeed Fiberglass hood, fenders, front
and back bumpers, and ducktail. The rear steel flares were left on the car. Werks 11 built and fitted a Center fill
gas tank for a sportier look. They also removed the existing sunroof and surrounding roof panel and bonded in a
strong, lightweight, and very beautiful carbon fiber roof panel made by Helion composites.
Once all the bodywork and Fabrication was completed the car was shipped off to paint where the painter laid down a
very nice paint job done in Porsche non-metallic Slate Grey(6801). The car was then reassembled and all seals and
weather stripping was replaced.
The interior was also backdated using an RS carpet kit, door panels. Amazing custom period seats were made by GTS
Classics, the dash Facia was also backdated using the same material from the seats to bring it all together. A new
custom alcantara style headliner was installed and a MOMO prototipo steering wheel was installed. The dashboard and
other pieces were also reupholstered in black german vinyl. A custom OEM replica rear seat delete was built finish
off the rear and conceal the engine ECU and small Bluetooth component Stereo system. Completely stealth with no
speakers visible. Synch to your handheld and stream your itunes, Pandor etc.
To finish it off we lowered the car, installed new Bilstein coilovers from Rebel Racing, and went with Custom 17”
Fikse Mach V’s wrapped in Continental DW’s. An OEM muffler was modified to resemble and RSR style muffler.
Lastly vinyl graphics were installed (completely removable)
Mechanicals:
Brakes: Carrera brakes in great shape. Stops amazing especially with the lightweight body
Suspension: Oem suspension in front, new Bilstein coilovers from rebel racing in Rear
Chassis: apprx 124K miles
Electrica/Lights: All gauges, lights, electrical work. I actually went through the entire wiring harness and
soldered/heat shrunk every wire that wasn’t securely connected. Car starts every time with no hassle.
Engine/Transmission: 3.2 Carrera engine from an 88’. I was told the engine only had apprx 60K miles on it but
cant confirm. It runs very strong. We removed the Engine and transmission to fix synchros in transmission. It’s
the original 915 unit. 2nd and 3rd gear synchros were replaced and the the rest checked out ok. While the engine
was out it was cleaned up and detailed. The spark plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, motor mounts, and
starter were replaced. Also did a valve adjustment and replaced the valve cover gaskets. Did an oil change using
Brad Penn and refilled the tranny with Swepco. Replaced all the bushings related to the shifter and readjusted
clutch and shift coupler.
Overall:
The car has been driven maybe 500 miles since the restoration was completed. Its in fantastic, like new shape, with
most of the major components fixed or replaced. The car drives great, sounds great, shifts great, and stops great
and has been extremely reliable. The car is at a stage where it can be enjoyed by the new owner for years to come
with no hassle. On top of that, it looks amazing and gets LOTS of attention. IF you’re not a social person you
may want to avoid this car because people WILL want to talk to you about it.
Please feel free to email me with questions if I missed anything or you want to ask any additional questions.

Porsche testing new 911 GTS
Wed, 28 May 2014Porsche may have one more vehicle in its stable with the GTS moniker, if these spy shots are any indication. They show off the presumed 911 GTS lapping the track - the model meant to slide in under the GT3 to be a bit more driver-friendly but still very fast alternative to a stock Carrera.
At first glance, it might look like any other 911, but the devil is in the details. The most obvious among the differences are two centrally mounted exhaust outlets, rather than the ones closer to the corners on most of the current models. They also aren't perfectly in the center like the GT3. The taillights are also somewhat thicker than the current ones, and the rear decklid is split into three exposed sections.
This is the third time we've seen the presumed GTS. The first was as a coupe late last year. Then it showed up again in March testing in convertible form. Although, that version also sported fender vents at the rear.
Porsche 919 Hybrid revives Porsche's factory Le Mans efforts
Tue, 04 Mar 2014After months of teasing with camouflaged testers, Porsche has finally unveiled its prototype entry for the 2014 World Endurance Championship, the 919 Hybrid. Porsche, you may recall, hasn't had campaigned a factory team at Le Mans in years, so the 919 is nothing less than their recommitment to endurance racing.
Combining a 2.0-liter V4 (yes, a V4) that revs to 9,000 rpm, the 919 produces around 500 horsepower with a pair of energy recovery systems. The first system recovers the heat energy from exhaust gasses as they pass through an electrical generator, while the second system is a bit more familiar. Using a setup similar to what is found on the production 918 Spyder, a generator on the front axle recovers kinetic energy from the brakes, which is subsequently stored in a battery system. That power can then be sent to the front wheels at the driver's command, effectively turning the 919 into an all-wheel-drive racecar.
Despite these various forms of motivation, Porsche doesn't claim to be seeking outright power supremacy, with Chairman Matthias Müller saying, "In 2014, it will not be the fastest car that wins the World Endurance Championship series and the 24 hours of Le Mans, rather it will be the car that goes the furthest with a defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that carmakers must overcome. The 919 Hybrid is our fastest mobile research laboratory and the most complex race car that Porsche has ever built."
Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
