Hey Informer, I found your car (almost, just like a “Sanger”):

INTRODUCTION
Here is your chance to own one of the best examples of an air-cooled Porsche 911. This is one of the times where you are introduced to a car that is a better version than you could ever dream of. This car reflects the iconic classic Porsche design and combines it with the most advanced air-cooled VarioRAM 3.6 engine ever built.

POWER
Locating the perfect low mileage 3.6L motor took months and months of waiting. After the motor was purchased it was then shipped to personal friends of the owner's exhaust manufacturer to be fitted with a one-off custom header/exhaust system. Due to the increased horsepower and torque, the transaxle was also upgraded to a Porsche 930 turbo axel. A new 915 transmission was also installed keeping the favored 915 gear ratio over changing out to a not as desirable G50 ratio transmission. A Wevo short shifter was installed to provide precision shifts which is also spring centered and has a blocked reverse shift mechanism for safety.

SUSPENSION
After much debate and NOT opting for coilovers mostly due to such a rough ride and because that's not how Porsche wanted the car to feel we installed new factory spec Bilstein suspension. This setup provides amazing handling and a very comfortable ride just like Porsche intended.

BRAKES
Sorry, we did not keep these stock. We did, however, consider the 930 Turbo big reds but nothing compared to the 4 piston cross-drilled Brembo kit that offers the maximum stopping power for this vehicle.

OPPORTUNITY
The new owner can take advantage of more than 1,000 man hours required to create the wide stance exterior parts that really set these cars apart from a narrow body 911. After more than 30 revisions and two years of work the molds that created the beautifully sculptured body panels are included in the sale of this vehicle. These molds include the front bumper, front fenders, side rockers, rear quarter panels and rear bumper. This kit will fit on any 911 from 1974 to 1994.

An amazing about of misinformation in that listing (much of which StankWorks highlighted); one of the appeals of coilovers is the ability to easily tune them for a non-rough ride, and the whole 915/930/g50 "transaxle" (different that the type of trans that Phatt visits on weekends ) bit is hilarious.

That statement about the coilovers immediately let me know this High Quality build was by someone that doesn't know squat.
The only negative with coilovers on a Porsche is moving the weight from low in the car to higher in the car. But to what extend I have no idea. I'll take the better ride quality, with higher spring rates, over weight position.


I had to check the website. Rawknee will like this.

"Since the air-cooled Porsche AC systems never performed that great, the builder decided to remove the AC to reduce weight and not waste any of the engine crank power. The car still possesses the factory heating system"

Yet they kept the sunroof. Loose the sunroof and keep the A/C. You will probably still loose a couple pounds overall.

Didn't want coil-overs so we opted to throw some new shocks on the back and they look great next to the original "patina'd" Spring plates and worn out torsion bars.

Those flairs make the car look like a skateboard
