For sale is my 1978 Porsche 911 Resto-mod in Cashmere Beige. It's an all steel backdate or hot rod with a look loosely resembling the earliest 911'. It is an original cashmere beige car and the repaint was done using the original paint code. All parts, every nut and bolt have been refurbished or replaced.
The tired 3.2ltr engine that was in the car I replaced with a freshly rebuilt 3.2 (from an 84 carrera) with new SSI heat exchangers and an MK SS exhaust. To have the period correct look I opted to replace the EFI with Weber carburetors. The Webers are original 40IDA3C and they are in excellent shape. I purchased them several years back in new original condition with the tall venturis. They have only been used for approx. 2000 miles on my other 3.2. The throttle response is fantastic and the sound at higher RPM's is magnificent.
After I had built a 911R-look with teeth rattling suspension I decided to keep the suspension on this car completely stock. All around rubber bushings from Elephant racing and stock torsion bars and sway bars make this a really nice ride very similar to the way it left the factory 42 yrs ago. The 15x7 and 15x8 polished Fuchs with taller tires also help make this a great cruiser or canyon carver.
The interior was completely redone and instead of using a Recaro sport-seat or similar I found an excellent original pair of Scheel 400 seats. They're extremely comfortable, keep you in place in the turns and are mounted low which is a big plus if you're over 6' tall.
