Year: 1973
Drive Type: Manual
Make: Porsche
Mileage: 100
Model: 911
Warranty: Vehicle does NOT have an existing warranty
Trim: RS
This is a very rare opportunity to own a 1988 Porsche 911 that has been professionally backdated to a longhood in 73RS fashion. This backdate has less than 100 miles on it. I love this car but recently moved and expanded my family. This car has been my favorite car and something I thought I would keep forever.It is not completed but it is close, It will need things like turn signals hooked up, tachometer working, some wires buttoned up and hidden and some touch up work and engine tuning. It is a G50 1988 galvanized body 911 and the original motor was swapped with a 3.3 turbo engine. It is an almost finished product that will require some final touches and tuning as I have run out of time and space and moved from my known Porsche mechanics. LESS THAN 100 MILES!!! Body: It started out as a 1988 car that was backdated using fiberglass bumpers and hoods.This car has never been wrecked and is perfectly straight. All body gaps are perfect and much money and time was spent to achieve this. It is painted in 1973 Viper Green. It has a center mount “through the hood” filler that was sourced from Germany. All trim has been polished to be correct for the period, the rear windshield trim is not installed but a brand new one purchased from Stoddard Porsche will be supplied. It uses the correct longhood grill for the ducktail. The paint has less than 100 miles on it and is perfect save a chip from where the ducktail was dropped (pictured). The wheels are original fuchs 15x6 and 15x7. the where finished in RSR style with a froster center and polished lip. All lenses and seals are brand new. It has H4 headlight and lightweight straps for holding the hood down. The hood has three BALSA wood strips so that it is not flimsy and looks correct to the period also. all edges and undersides are finished. It really looks quite amazing. Interior:
The original 1988 interior was swapped in favor of the light weight you see. It has Brand new carpet.I do have a brand new Ivory headliner that will be included in the sale but not installed yet. The seats are CARBON KEVLAR momo corse seats. These seats are amazing and weigh less than 10lbs. each. It has a seatbelt harness bar that I think adds to that hot rod look. The next step I would do is send the guages out to be refitted to look like a 1973. Again this is your rare chance to add your own touches to the final details. The interior will need to be completed but as you can see from the pictures is very close to being 100%. Drivetrain: This is where the HOT in hot rod comes from. It is G50 5 speed transmission hooked to a 3.3 liter TURBO engine. When this car comes on boost...HANG ON!!!! It is absolutely terrifying. Once again this car is not 100% finished but close. So 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. gear pulls like a freight train but becomes very rich in higher gears and will sputter. It will need to be tuned and I regret very much not being able to do this and really feel the power of this beast. This is the best of both worlds a turbo motor and a G50 transmission. This car can be driven but will need shipped or towed to your house until you tune it and work out the bugs. The longest trip I have taken in it was 20 miles. While I did not have problems on that trip, It does only have 100 miles on the car and I have been stranded in the nieghborhood for various reasons that were addressed ( battery not strapped down, Oil line came loose, ETC) these are the problems that will need to be addressed when you own the car. This is your rare chance to own a brand new 88/73 Hot rod. Much money, time, and dedication was spent on this car and it will be an absolutely amazing machine once finished. The car is located in NASHVILLE, TN and is available to inspect. I have a clean and clear title in my name. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thank You and Good luck. |

Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help
Mon, 19 Aug 2013The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.
Porsche Cayman, Boxster caught in GTS trim
Sat, 18 Jan 2014A few months ago, we reported on some leaked information from an internal presentation for upcoming Porsche models. This included details about the Macan and the 911 Targa, which we now know to be true, but there was also talk about GTS versions of the Cayman and Boxster.
Well, it appears we're now getting our first look at these GTS models, as our spy photographers have just snapped a pair of Porsche prototypes out testing - one Cayman and one Boxster.
Right off the bat, we can see that both GTS-branded cars will get a slightly tweaked exterior with new fascias (bringing LED daytime running lights to the Cayman) and air diffusers at the rear. The true gem of these cars will be the added horsepower to the tune of 340 horsepower - a 15-hp bump. A manual transmission will likely be standard, as will Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).
Porsche acquires Kyalami race track at auction
Mon, 28 Jul 2014With more victories under its belt than any other manufacturer, you could say, in a figurative sense at least, that Porsche owns countless numbers of race tracks around the world. But here we're not talking about figuratively owning a track - we're talking about literally buying one. And Porsche has just bought Kyalami.
Kylamai, for those unfamiliar, is a grand prix circuit near Johannesburg in South Africa. Between 1967 and 1985, and again in '92 and '93, it was home to the South African Grand Prix, and has since hosted a variety of local and lower-level international races, but apparently fell on hard times. As a result, the track's owners - listed as Universal Property Professionals - put it up for auction. Bidders had to deposit four million Rand (about $380k) to participate, but after just 50 seconds, the auction was over.
The winning bid was placed - via telephone from the local press launch for the Macan - by Porsche South Africa CEO Toby Venter, who bid a reported 205 million rand (about $19.5 million) to take over the complex. The German automaker's South African division reportedly intends to keep the track open for racing, but could also be expected to use the facility for testing, customer track days and such moving forward.
