This absolutely stunning Porsche was built by one of the most knowledgeable and passionate enthusiasts around. The
donor car was an accident free, rust free '81 SC Coupe.
The entire car was stripped of every removable part. That includes wiring, glass, doors, fenders, gas tank, all
suspension, transmission, engine and the complete interior. Please check out all the pictures carefully to examine
the perfection of this incredible build! Notice that most of the bolts, nuts and washers have been yellow zink
plated to duplicate the ones used by the factory. The new door panels had the smooth vinyl removed so that the
basketweave pattern would match the seats. Incredible attention to detail!
The "hottest" segment of the air cooled Porsche market is the RS/ST Tribute cars, also known as "Outlaws", "Hot
Rods" and "R" Gruppes! Several builders are charging $300,000 to $600,000 with back logs of three years. This car
is every bit as exciting as their cars at a fraction of the prices. This car is now like an ST. It has the ST front
bumper and steel rear decklid. It comes with a painted "Ducktail" rear wing and a painted front "RS" spoiler as
used on a '73 RS. It would be a very handsome "RS" Tribute with the addition of "Carrera" side stripes as on the
"RS's.
This is the perfect vehicle in which to attend the many "Cars and Coffee's" that take place around the country. It
surely would be the "Star" of each event!

Fresh window out respray in original Chiffon (Light Ivory)
Custom finish fiberglass long hood from “TRE” Racing. Under the hood has been left "raw" as in the original

Porsche 918 Spyder could lap the 'Ring even quicker [w/video]
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Porsche had a lot to crow about at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. Not only did it debut the new 50 Years edition and Turbo versions of the 911 and the new hybrid and diesel versions of the Panamera, but while unveiling the final production version of the new 918 Spyder, it revealed the record lap it set around the Nürburgring.
The 918 Spyder's 6:57 lap time makes it the fastest street-legal production car ever to lap the Nordschleife and the first to break the seven-minute barrier. But the driver who clocked the time thinks it can go even faster.
That driver was Marc Lieb, who has won the Nürburgring 24-hour race four times, making him something of an expert on the subject. In speaking with Australia's Drive TV, Lieb suggested that they could get even more out of the car, as you can hear for yourself in the video below.
MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
eGarage video features Helmuth Bott's personal Porsche 959 prototype
Fri, 12 Apr 2013"We thought we were going to build a super-911," said Peter Schutz, former CEO of Porsche AG of the development of the Porsche 959. That was before it started getting expensive. At that point, Helmuth Bott, Porsche R&D director got frightened. Costs ballooned because of the all-wheel drive, sequential turbocharging and other technology Porsche had never even thought about when it set out to build a 911 to compete in Group B. Schutz continued, "The amount of resources we were committing got totally out of hand." Instead of pulling the plug, Bott doubled down and drew on the strength of his brilliant team to build a car whose impact is still echoing aross the industry.
"It's probably one of our most prized possessions" says Don Leatherwood, Director of the Brumos collection where Dr. Bott's personal prototype resides, and where Frazer Spowart went to see the car and create a video for eGarage. Check out the sights and sounds of the 959 before it was the 959, and get personal takes on the car from Hurley Haywood, Peter Schutz and Don Leatherwood. Keep reading to see the video.
