Description

While we don't often get our hands on “race cars” this project was too good for our team to pass up. This classic 1973 Porsche 911T spent many years sitting in boxes before the current owner picked the car up in the early 2000s and began getting the car back together as a 1972 Carrera RS tribute. Over the last 18 years this Porsche has seen extensive racing experience at events like the Rennsport Reunions and many track days at prominent tracks around the United States.

The car is incredibly original, with no indications of body damage. Our restoration team began cleaning it up and addressing the few minor body issues around the car. While the restoration team is saving a few of the stickers from this stripped livery, the paint team is getting into proper texturing, door jams, and ensuring this classic in Guards Red has the looks to match its historical racing pedigree. We finished paintwork and our detailer extraordinaire got the paint to perfection..

We also worked on the undercarriage - fixing up old dings and the like. Then we sprayed on factory undercoating - but with a bit of a custom appearance - we'll go Guards Red instead of black! You'll also see some custom metal fabrication on the custom mudflaps. Lots and lots of custom work is going into this beauty.

Now the interior is in, along with electronics, gauges, livery and more. The owner stopped by and was nice enough to buy the team lunch! Thank you! Final bits and pieces are now being completed. Soon it will be going home!
