About 18 months ago I had the itch to get a long hood. Long time Porsche owner and current Carrera T manual, 991.2 RS, and 997 GT3 owner. Being I am so OCD I needed a really nice base that I could make my own. Having one of the country’s best Porsche mechanics as a friend and being close in location was a huge impetus! After a long search a local car became available that was owned by a large Porsche collector where money was absolutely no object.
Car fit what I was looking for-no backdate for me! And one day, after finishing patients I got “the call’. The car was completely redone in 2012 with as an S/RS tribute car. Paint was done very very nicely. Car had zero rust. After obtaining the car I immediately took the car to Atlanta Porsche Classic to see about provenance of engine/tranny. Three weeks later it was confirmed that the engine and tranny were matching. Woohooo. Here is what I have taken the car to. The mag case was banked and will be redone and a fresh 3.0 block went in….temporarily. We are in the process of taking the 3.0 to a 3.73 with the following: GT3 RS 4.0 crank, Mahle 100mm cylinders, CP pistons, Rasant M130, and other fun stuff. Here is what I have done up to now.
