I have two videos of this car on YouTube.

Video #1 (old wheels on car): YouTube - V8 Powered Porsche 911

Video #2: YouTube - V8 Powered Porsche 911 Part 1.1

Ever do a wheelie in a Porsche 911 before? Looking for an adrenaline rush? A car that can safely deliver your kid to school one day and then hit the track the next day? I have the RX for your sickness.

I have finally earned my Private Pilot's License and now I am actually FLYING above ground. So, I waffle, but I am offering my blue baby for sale. I have had a lot of interesting offers, but I am looking for cash.

I built this car over a four year period as my interpretation of the perfect sports car I could actually afford to own and maintain. And perform it will. I wanted something that would give me the hardest hitting acceleration, eye-ball popping braking, and gut wrenching handling with the safety of a 5-point harness, SCCA roll cage, and a few pieces of metal between my arse and the road. The results are represented below.

Do not confuse this car with a "back yard" 911. I have seen A LOT of AWFUL conversions that give these exotics a bad reputation. They are quite embarrassing and are not worth the scrap metal price of the car. This is all pro. I guarantee you will not find another 911 conversion of this quality for less money - PERIOD. So, where do I begin?

It took me almost a year to find the perfect chassis. If you are unfamiliar with 911's, the 1975.5 model year is the first year Porsche started using galvanized sheet metal. To ensure that you had the proper metal, it is best to choose a '76 chassis. I sourced a 1976 chassis in California. I had the paint stripped BY HAND down to bare metal. Once it was VERIFIED as a RUST FREE, ACCIDENT FREE, and original Non-Sunroof chassis - I began. BTW - the chassis itself is of extreme rarity - just try to find one that meets ALL of the criteria above - Good Luck! I have it, and so can you.


Why a '76 chassis? Good question. These are the lightest and non-powered assisted 911's you can find. They are considered "PURE" and are the PREFERRED track wear in the Porsche family. Another bonus, they are emission exempt! (EXCEPT in California) - Please check your state; Any 30+ year old car is exempt from testing.....that leaves A LOT of engine options. Insurance is cheap too (classic car insurance). Try insuring your family wagon for $350/year with a zero deductible, full coverage policy.

After 243 hours of custom bodywork and paint, not to mention $$$, you now are looking at a show car. This was a glass out, engine out, doors off, no holds barred paint job. It was stripped to bare metal, primed, block sanded, primed, block sanded, shot with color and then clear coated. You can see the clouds reflect perfectly in the paint. Just look closely at the pictures. Take it to any car show, I guarantee you will have a crowd follow you to your parking spot. The best compliment I received was from a lady who said, "These Mustangs and Camaros are a dime a dozen, but YOUR car is unique." I have had people come down to the local car show just to see my car - she is that much of a looker. Just a few weeks ago, I took it to the local car show. A reporter for the newspaper came up to me and asked, "why are so many people looking at your car? What makes it so special?" Yes, my car was FEATURED in the newspaper the next day. No other cars were singled out - just this one.

OK, so it LOOKS good, but how does she run. "Like a go cart with a V8" I say. Every nut, bolt, and wire has been tweaked massaged and improved in this car.

Body: European 993 Turbo S body kit. Correct details down to the left hand wiper conversion. Need I say more?

Electrical: Early Porsches are not known for electrical engineering excellence. That is why I rewired the whole car with a modern Painless Performance racing fuse block using standard ATC type fuses. Everything is fused and I have even installed a Flaming River cut-off switch. Don't forget the aircraft style starter switch...nothing but the best.

Interior: The interior was stripped down to bare metal (floor pans were perfect) and then sealed with a truck bed liner. Lightweight custom aircraft grade door panels covered in black leather with "Porsche" embossed. Did I mention the guy who has done interiors for Jay Leno did this interior? Race seats, 5-point harnesses, SCCA roll cage, and RS style pulls is just the start.

Stereo: You should be listening to the glorious sounds of V8 torque behind you. If not, a Sony CD player with auxillary input (think IPOD, or SAT radio) with 280 watts should suffice.

Engine: Race bred Corvette 350 V8 with a healthy cam. Blueprinted, balanced, forged crankshaft & connecting rods, and even painted to match the car. MSD racing ignition system, rev limiter, FlowMaster 40's, Custom headers, everything Jet Hot coated to the tips in chrome.

Drivetrain: This is what separates the men from the boys. I have a Renegade Hybrids 915 racing 5-speed transmission with the sought after 8:31 ring and pinion. But wait, it gets better... It is a true MAGNESIUM cased tranny with solid Billet inserts and modifications. Only 100 pounds dry! (I know, I shipped it out Fed Ex) The engine is only running 350+ HP and 375+ Torque. This tranny is built to take 450 HP+. Extra tall 1st and 5th gears, 930 bearings, and 930 diff. cover. It has been purpose built from the start with one thing in mind: put the horsies to the pavement! Wevo short shift kit, Redline Fluid and topped off with a chrome Porsche shift knob.

Clutch you ask? Why sure - it is a KEVLAR clutch and custom pressure plate. Why Kevlar? It simply is the best. It takes a long time to break in (500 miles) and must be done carefully. Trust me, after the coin I dropped, it was broken in by the book and you will enjoy my restraint for years to come.

How do you stop such a beast? I was hoping you would ask. I installed a complete Boxer Motorsports racing brake kit. This is often referred to a "Big Red" brake kit. The rotors and pads are actually common racing "Outlaw" and "Hawk" parts - easily sourced, if needed. I also rebuilt the master cylinder and upgraded to stainless steel brake lines. It wouldn't be complete without the ATE Super Blue racing fluid. I was convince I would need a brake "bias adjuster" to properly set up my car. However, the system was so perfect right out of the box that it was not needed. During the prescribed break-in ritual for the brakes, I performed numerous hard stops, terrified my neighbors, and then returned home to shoot rotor temps with a laser thermometer - 250 degrees. They were not even breaking a sweat. The brakes are simply one of the most gratifying aspects of this car.

Suspension: Since the V8 is actually 50 POUNDS LIGHTER than a 930 turbo motor, I was forced to modify the suspension. The 30mm hollow core racing torsion bars held the car too high. Solution = more racing components. Each corner of the car is fully adjustable. It is currently set at 20% lower than European ride height. Did I mention the car only weighs 2550 pounds? It has the power to weight ratio of a rocket. All new polygraphite bushings, tie rods, ball joints, front strut brace, bump steer kit as well as any other component that can be replaced. The Porsche dealer then spent SIX hours aligning the car to my specs - and I was there the whole time. The car handles absolutely fantastic with instant feedback. Want to hang the tail out - no problem. Flip the car around a corner - yes. It stays flat, level, and begs for more. You will become a better driver just by testing this car.

Wheels & Tires: The wheels and tires you see are almost brand new with less than 1,000 miles. The stickers that were once on the tires are now somewhere between my house and the exit to my subdivision. I have averaged less than 500 miles a year, so don't expect many miles.

Protection: Ah yes, you want to come back to the car where you parked it. No worries here - there is a fully functioning FM remote paging alarm with a ridiculous range and a full vehicle display.

This car was my labor of love that kept me out of trouble (sort of). This listing has only grazed the surface of the four years worth of perfection. I have a large file with every receipt and pictures of the entire process and body work. I am buying a plane and must part with my beloved Porsche and find it a good home. Will it be you?

This car has been appraised at $60,000 to $65,000. It would cost you that much to build unless you could do ALL the work yourself.

Legal stuff: NO JOY RIDES. Please ask your wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, parents, banker, accountant PRIOR to purchasing. No warranties are expressed or implied. This is a serious car and is not for an immature driver. It will out accelerate, brake and handle most exotics for a fraction of the price. Thank you for looking.
