It was a shame circumstances did not allow him to keep it, since subsequent owners have enjoyed it a LOT.

Right on. Mine currently has a stock fender cooler and a center front. I'm planning to put in a second fender cooler and ditch the center radiator. I'm hoping it'll be enough with some fans. Do you remember what year this car is? I'm still trying to figure out if it's possible to get my '95 motor forward and down an inch or so.

Bummer to hear it was a forced sale. That'd be the last one I'd sell...

Here is a 77S that has been backdated, RS Flares and a 3.2 liter Carrera engine from 1986. Grand Prix White, Black lightweight sport interior. 75000 miles.

Just wondering if rocker sill trim/extension deletion is a preferred look or are they that hard to find? My 76 is missing them and the more I see cars without them,the more I like the way it looks.

[Tremelune]

They look good with the impact bumpers, not with backdate bumpers. Impact bumpers look good with rocker trim, bad without.

[PZSPEED]

I'm noticing that now that you pointed that out..

[pcarhiway]

Out in the 77S for a sunset drive tonight.

Sorry i am probably the the odd one out here,but i dont like any 911 with those
front squared off grill look, realize it probably has a function,but in my opinion
looks like a bad mini rolls or something,.Thanks for the photos there are some fantastic examples there.

To this:

This car is just off the hook.

Looks great tell us more about it and post some more pics please. Where did you get those flares? The fronts have a really nice smooth ST-like shape and the rears do too although they look wider than an ST.

My 81, actually I sold it a few months ago so not mine anymore. But I'm building another....

Awesome car. Any interior and engine photos?

[barzini]

Here's some shots of one.....Singeresque.

930 flares.......964 rockers.

Someone asked what the biggest surprises and pitfalls were when backdating. I'd like to hear more on that to anyone who has completed one. I guess it has a lot to do with your intended finished project.

M491 I admire:

[Elombard]

I think the biggest surprises for me to learn were:

- Implications of the front latch panel being so different
- The cost and number of parts required for the front TS housings/lenses/grills
- The visual impact that backdating the mirrors and polished window trim have - easy to dismiss as not necessary
- how important the wheel and tire package are to the visual impact
- how much work FG parts can take to fit well
- The interior is remarkbly different when you start looking at the details, again easy to dismiss.
