California Car
First shipped to Carlsen Porsche/Audi in San Francisco, this 911T's
original window sticker shows a sale price of 6,800.50. The first
owner, Franklin Fong, would go on to own the car until 1972 when it
was purchased by another Northern Californian, Dr. John Shell. The
911T would remain in Dr. Shell's ownership until the late 90s when
it moved on to his neighbor. He would keep it for the next ten
years until he sold it to architect Alan Grant of Los Angeles in
2008.
Grant had been looking for years for the perfect 911 to restore. He
wanted a rust free, no accident, matching body panel car with its
original engine and transmission. The burgundy 911T would prove to
be that car. Over the next 5 years he would do a complete ground
up, concours level restoration of the entire car. The car was
stripped to its tub and repainted. All the components were rebuilt,
replated and restored, and the engine and transmission were
rebuilt. While invisible to the naked eye, the engine size was
increased to 2.4 liters with the addition of a 2.4/2.7 crankshaft.
The mechanical work was expertly completed by TLG Auto of North
Hollywood, CA, and the interior was beautifully done by George
Baloian at Levon's Upholstery of Reseda, CA. A set of rare, deep
offset 6" alloy wheels with wider tires were added to the 911,
along with its exquisite 3-spoke wood steering wheel that finished
off the cabin of the car. After its completion, the car won second
place at the 2013 Porsche Concourse d'Elegance in Beverly
Hills.
With less than 200 miles on the odometer since its restoration, the
911T arrived at Canepa in absolute stunning condition in February
of 2014. The car was then sold to its new owner who would own the
car for a little less than four years. The burgundy 911 recently
arrived back at Canepa in the same condition that it left in,
having been driven very little and needing nothing to be ready for
its next owner. With only 2,454 miles since restoration, driving
this 911T is like experiencing the car the day Franklin Fong picked
it up from the dealership 48 years ago. Comes with its maintenance
records starting in May of 1970, owner's manual, original tool kit,
jack, and spare.
