Vehicle Description
This one-of-a-kind 1971 Porsche 911T Cabriolet 959 re-creation was
completed by a retired aerospace engineer in approximately 2003-04.
It is powered out back by a rebuilt 2.7-liter air-cooled 6-cylinder
engine with rebuilt twin Zenith Solex carburetors connected to a
901 race 5-speed manual transmission. It features new Porsche OEM
parts, including heater, blower motor, carpets and embroidered
Porsche floor mats, MSD ignition module with rev limiter for
racing, 60-amp alternator, fuel pump, OEM clutch, pressure plate,
bearing, flywheel, SSI stainless-steel exhaust, stainless-steel
heat exchanges, new suspension bushings, MagnaFlow twin mufflers,
brake calipers, rotors, pads, stainless-steel brake lines and
master cylinder. With custom fiberglass bodywork with body-colored
bumpers, the overall effect is to make the car resemble a Porsche
959. Dressed in Guards Red with a basecoat and clearcoat, it
features a black canvas top with a matching boot cover. This car
rolls on BFGoodrich G-Force Sport radials in front and Goodyear
Eagle GT radials in back. Each tire is mounted on a Compomotive
two-piece racing wheel. Inside the car's black interior sit black
bucket seats with matching carpet and black inner door panels.
Driver convenience features include Classic air conditioning, power
windows and power seats. A 4-spoke MOMO steering wheel fronts the
red instrument panel with black dash pad and trim and VDO gauges. A
console-mounted shifter and a JVC stereo with Bluetooth complete
the interior. The engine was rebuilt by Motor Meister at a cost of
$7,500, and it has been driven a little over 8,000 miles since
restoration. Documentation includes build receipts and a
maintenance manual, as well as new and used spare parts.
