This is a very rare opportunity to own a 1988 Porsche 911 that has been professionally backdated to a longhood in 73RS fashion. This backdate has less than 100 miles on it. I love this car but recently moved and expanded my family. This car has been my favorite car and something I thought I would keep forever.It is not completed but it is close, It will need things like turn signals hooked up, tachometer working, some wires buttoned up and hidden and some touch up work and engine tuning. It is a G50 1988 galvanized body 911 and the original motor was swapped with a 3.3 turbo engine. It is an almost finished product that will require some final touches and tuning as I have run out of time and space and moved from my known Porsche mechanics. LESS THAN 100 MILES!!! Body: It started out as a 1988 car that was backdated using fiberglass bumpers and hoods.This car has never been wrecked and is perfectly straight. All body gaps are perfect and much money and time was spent to achieve this. It is painted in 1973 Viper Green. It has a center mount “through the hood” filler that was sourced from Germany. All trim has been polished to be correct for the period, the rear windshield trim is not installed but a brand new one purchased from Stoddard Porsche will be supplied. It uses the correct longhood grill for the ducktail. The paint has less than 100 miles on it and is perfect save a chip from where the ducktail was dropped (pictured). The wheels are original fuchs 15x6 and 15x7. the where finished in RSR style with a froster center and polished lip. All lenses and seals are brand new. It has H4 headlight and lightweight straps for holding the hood down. The hood has three BALSA wood strips so that it is not flimsy and looks correct to the period also. all edges and undersides are finished. It really looks quite amazing. Interior: The original 1988 interior was swapped in favor of the light weight you see. It has Brand new carpet.I do have a brand new Ivory headliner that will be included in the sale but not installed yet. The seats are CARBON KEVLAR momo corse seats. These seats are amazing and weigh less than 10lbs. each. It has a seatbelt harness bar that I think adds to that hot rod look. The next step I would do is send the guages out to be refitted to look like a 1973. Again this is your rare chance to add your own touches to the final details. The interior will need to be completed but as you can see from the pictures is very close to being 100%. Drivetrain: This is where the HOT in hot rod comes from. It is G50 5 speed transmission hooked to a 3.3 liter TURBO engine. When this car comes on boost...HANG ON!!!! It is absolutely terrifying. Once again this car is not 100% finished but close. So 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. gear pulls like a freight train but becomes very rich in higher gears and will sputter. It will need to be tuned and I regret very much not being able to do this and really feel the power of this beast. This is the best of both worlds a turbo motor and a G50 transmission. This car can be driven but will need shipped or towed to your house until you tune it and work out the bugs. The longest trip I have taken in it was 20 miles. While I did not have problems on that trip, It does only have 100 miles on the car and I have been stranded in the nieghborhood for various reasons that were addressed ( battery not strapped down, Oil line came loose, ETC) these are the problems that will need to be addressed when you own the car. This is your rare chance to own a brand new 88/73 Hot rod. Much money, time, and dedication was spent on this car and it will be an absolutely amazing machine once finished. The car is located in NASHVILLE, TN and is available to inspect. I have a clean and clear title in my name. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thank You and Good luck.
