Vehicle Description
CPR Classic is delighted to offer this immaculate 1972 Porsche 911S
Coupe finished in Albert Blue over a full red leather interior with
factory sport seats and air conditioning. This example went through
a painstaking complete bare metal restoration by our craftsman at
CPR and presents today as one of the finest restoration-grade early
Porsche 911s available anywhere.
The car began restoration and was completely disassembled to the
tub and stripped to bare metal. Removing the paint revealed a very
straight, unmolested body that required minimal metal work to
prepare the car for paint. All gaps were set to factory tolerances
and exterior components were fit while the car was in metal to
ensure proper fitment throughout the paint process. Upon completion
in metal, the car was moved to our paint preparation department
where it spent several hundred hours being placed in heavy primer
and blocked to ensure laser straight panels and better-than-factory
levels of finish throughout. Upon completion of paint preparation
and a rigorous inspection of the primed body, the car was finished
in Glasurit single-stage Albert Blue paint. Following a bake in our
Binks downdraft paint booth and several weeks post application to
allow the paint to cure, the car was thoroughly color sanded to
eliminate orange peel and any light imperfections.
Following the paint process, the car was moved to our assembly
department where it was meticulously assembled ensuring that every
nut, bolt, and washer was installed with correct plating and
finishes. The car's window frames were thoroughly sanded to remove
all imperfections, polished, and dipped to reproduce a correct
factory anodized finish. Every nut and bolt was media blasted and
replated with correct finishes throughout. Exterior components were
replaced with new parts as necessary including corner lenses, horn
grills, and so on. The matching numbers engine was completely
overhauled in-house and built to stock 2.4 911S specifications. The
matching numbers gearbox was fully overhauled to include new gear
sets and synchros.
Nearing the completion of assembly, the car was sent to Autobahn
Interiors in Sorrento Valley CA where a full red German leather was
installed. The factory sport seats were refinished in red leather
as well with correct perforated inserts. A black headliner was
selected and retains the correct "diamond" perforation. A lovely
period Nardi steering wheel was selected and installed to round out
the interior.
Upon return from the interior shop, we installed an upgraded R134
A/C system while utilizing the original factory A/C dash register
to retain factory cosmetics. The upgraded A/C works outstanding and
is a vast improvement from the original R12 system that the car
originally wore. The rotary compressor used is also much smaller
and less obtrusive in the engine bay.
Upon completion of the car, CPR used it as part of a film that was
produced in conjunction with Petrolicious and Porsche in 2017. The
car was badged as a 911T for the film as the film's intended
purpose was to launch the then-new 2018 991 Carrera T and a perfect
Albert Blue 911 was needed for production. Following the completion
of filming the car was delivered to the owner that commissioned the
restoration in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. The car spent
several years with this client before being sold to another CPR
client that has enjoyed the car for the past several years.
This 911S has traveled just over 800 miles since its completion in
2017 and remains in perfect condition throughout. Upon arrival at
CPR, the car was thoroughly inspected to ensure that everything
remains at the finest level and the car will be offered with our
traditional bumper-to-bumper one-year warranty for its new
owner.
If you are in the market for a 911S in a special color combination
that is ready to be shown at the highest level with an outstanding
chance of winning any show it is entered in, this is a
must-consider example. This 911 offers an as-new driving experience
of the distilled and visceral sensation that makes early 911s so
special. Don't miss this spectacular 911S.
