Vehicle Description
1981 Porsche 911 Targa GRAND PRIX WHITE This car is not a cliche
backdate, RSR recreation or some ridiculous race car fantasy! It is
an attempt to be faithful to the clean original look while
significantly improving stock performance. I would boast that it is
perhaps one of the best-looking G-Body Targas on planet Earth! This
car gets lots of attention on the road and the city! The project
started in 2010. Most of the heavy lifting was done in 2011 and
2012. But the project continued on and off for an additional 10
years. All the work was done at Formula Motorsports, whom have been
serving Porsche exclusively since 1966 in the NYC area. The car was
perhaps in their shop a cumulative 2.5 years. Most of the parts
used were Porsche OEM, some of which are very difficult to find
nowadays. This is raw car with a very strong sensation of speed.
Although not powerful by modern standards, doing 100 mph in this
vehicle feels like +180 mph in modern cars. It is very visceral
experience and sometimes just downright scary. Never Tracked. Even
though the current setup would do very well on the track, I have
never done so. Honestly, I find driving down back-road with the top
down much more thrilling. Restomod vs Survivor Car. I have been
down this road. If you buy an original car with lots of miles, you
will drown yourself in bills over time and still not have anything
of value. If you are lucky to get one with super low miles, you
cannot drive it since it will destroy the intrinsic value... If you
want to have fun and maintain value, you buy a restomod! MAJOR
