“I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself.”
– Professor Ferdinand Porsche
Yes, I built a Porsche...
“I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself”, and in true Porsche fashion I decided to do this very thing. It all started when I came across this 911 via a mechanic friend, he had reached out asking if I knew anyone who might be interested in this very nice Mid-Year 911s that was always garage kept and mutinously serviced. The pandemic had just kicked-off and our design work got really light, so we took a gamble, bought the car and redesigned it from the ground up. These are the results.
Deliverables: C.M.F. design, automotive design, creative direction, video art direction, photography, material sourcing, project management, vendor relations, ideation.
-
The rebuilt 3.0L, sourced from a 1982 911sc is now running Rasant Product’s full EFI intake and exhaust setup.
-
Extensive restoration, modifications and repairs including; butt-welded all steel “Early Turbo” flares, IROC carbon fiber bumpers, fresh primer and full repaint.
-
Brand new Bilstein front sport struts, strut bushings, mounts and hardware. Rear Bilstein sport shocks. Re-greased and repacked front wheel bearings and assembly, Turbo tierods, Aligned, lowered and corner balanced by Johnson Alignment.
But what did it use to look like?
