Backdated 911 Compilation
 

Well I just spent the majority of my downtime today drooling over what you all have managed to create from impact bumper cars. I'd love to bring all of the backdated 911's out of the woodwork and put as many in one thread as possible. It's my dream to go through the process one day - until then I'll just covet what gets added to this thread.

No rules other than the car has to be backdated in some way.

Let see them!

Some of my favorite early-looking 911's (photos borrowed from other forum members):

Don't know about the other cars you posted, but the second from the bottom is Rob's car and is a '69 if I remeber correctly, not a backdated impact bumper car.

tons of nice onnes here.
You got a nice car too.

I just tossed a smattering of early cars that I can't avoid looking at in my first post. My apologies to Rob (or anyone else that may have a car in the first post) if I implied that your car was backdated and it isn't. Just a fan of the above cars. Anyone else want to contribute?

Yes, the Bahama Yellow car is Rob Dickinson's 1969 911S sports-purpose. The tangerine ST look is also a real longhood- 1969 911E, I think. It now has full Carrera 3.2 suspension and brakes all around with racecar bearings, etc. I think the name is Rod Taylor. This car is Will Sanchez, 1967 911S.

this is turning into another one of those porn threads ;)

I bought mine last august from a fellow pelican. He had completed pretty much everything except the interior, which turned out fine because I wanted to do my own thing inside. Original 1987.........

That is gorgeous

I can tell you that it has R&D automotive plate frames from a friend of mines shop in Albany New York. The photo looks like it is in front of his shop.

Does this count?.....87 3.2 to 74 3.0 RS (sorta)...

Sure is the cheapest of the lot, anyway...but I'd trade it for a few of the above ;-)

Backdated in the Philippines
 

Got more info on this picture? Looks like it was taken in the Philippines...

These are all incredible cars. Thanks everyone for sharing thus far.

Question to those of you that have made the transformation: What was the most costly part of the process? -or- What was the most difficult obstacle to overcome?

My wheels were the most costly part.....The most difficult part was deciding to do it....then see it through as it took longer than I wanted. But I did it all myself....Had I farmed it out to a shop to do the labor would have been far beyond my pocketbook. I did mine on an extremely tight budget.

THE WIFE!! on both counts!

Seriously though. Not having the knowledge and getting the wrong advice. Taking people at their word and not researching the facts. This cost me alot of time and money!!

Have a definate goal and plan for your mods. ie engine g/box wanted. body type ( targa, coupe, sunroof or not) width of finished product. This will give you a base car to start with. The better the car here will save you plenty in the long run including time. Dont worry about losing "the one" get it checked out properly there is always another deal!


Regards

Someone actually updated mine before I got to it.

I wish I had the space/knowledge to go about it that way. I have a feeling I'll have to outsource the labor when the time comes. Cheers to you for doing it on your own!

Well I already have the car so it's really a matter of justifying it to myself and doing the research. When I do bite the bullet and commit to the project I'll have exactly what I want in mind. There are far too many photos of beautiful cars on here to not have a good idea of what it should look like.

Hopefully yours turned out the way you'd planned (once you overcame those obstacles).

Best,

Matt

very nice! I can only watch and dream.....

Alex, is your car still running a Jon Warring engine. I thought the engine in the red car was sold to go into an IROC replica (but I could be mistaken).

As you mentioned His race engine went to another car! I did however get him to build a 3.2 and 915 for this car. It has the coil overs and brake bias adjustment along with a few other goodies. He is running a 993 now and he is as fast as ever. not bad for a pentioner!!!
