Custom 911This 1977 Porsche 911S is a truly unique custom build,
crafted with incredible attention to detail and vision by Northern
California Porsche hot rod builder Dink Farmer. Featuring radical
metalwork including a chopped-top roof, recessed headlights, and
wide 911 Turbo fender flares, this 911 stands out as a bespoke work
of automotive art. It was discovered unfinished in Southern
California by the current seller and his two brotherslongtime
Porsche enthusiasts with over 45 years of experience building and
modifying classic 911s. Together, they completed the project,
finishing the restoration of the 3.2-liter Carrera engine, fitting
a new upgraded suspension and 996 Turbo brakes, and installing 18
Fikse wheels for a modernized yet purposeful stance.Under prior
ownership, the car underwent extensive custom fabrication believed
to have been completed by Farmer himself. The most striking element
is its 3-inch lowered roofline, which required intricate reworking
of the quarter panels, rear window openings, and upper body
sections. The front and rear received genuine steel 930 Turbo
fender flares, while the headlights were recessedor Frenchedinto
the fenders for a sleek, sculpted look. Fiberglass bumpers and a
Carrera-style rear spoiler were added to complete the exterior
transformation. The windshield is sourced from a 911 Speedster,
emphasizing its low, aggressive profile. The seller notes the
absence of filler or Bondo anywhere on the car, reflecting the
quality of its all-metal craftsmanship.The current owners completed
the car's window framing and fitment, investing over 80 hours to
finalize the Lexan side windows and powder-coated frames, ensuring
smooth operation and proper weather sealing. Finished in a gray
paint color applied approximately 20 years ago, the car presents a
raw, purposeful aesthetic accented by 917-style mirrors and red
highlights across the oil cooler grille, cowl vent, brake calipers,
and roof stripe. It sits on satin black 18 Fikse wheels adorned
with red anodized hardware and wrapped in new tires installed two
years ago. Although the finish shows some minor imperfections, the
car retains a striking and aggressive presence.Inside, the cabin
has been freshly reimagined to match the car's bespoke character.
It features new carpeting, leather RS-style door panels, and
low-back bucket seats trimmed in black leather with houndstooth
insertsa classic Porsche racing touch. Additional details include a
MOMO Prototipo steering wheel, red seatbelts, pull straps, a fire
extinguisher, and a 911SC dashboard equipped with vintage Heuer
rally timers. Every detail is cohesive, blending motorsport
heritage with contemporary craftsmanship.Power comes from a rebuilt
3.2-liter Carrera flat-six engine that was completely overhauled
under current ownership. The rebuild included reconditioned
cylinder heads, new pistons, updated fuel injection rails, fresh
wiring and oil lines, and polished intake manifolds. Exhaust gases
exit through a custom early-style dual-inlet muffler with 2.5
pipes, creating a deep, distinctive tone. A front-mounted TRE
Motorsports oil cooler provides improved thermal management,
ensuring the engine remains reliable under spirited driving
conditions.Mated to a rebuilt 5-speed 915 manual transmission with
new synchros, clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel, this 911
delivers an engaging, analog driving experience true to its
heritage. The upgraded suspension and anti-roll bar sharpen the
handling, while 996 Turbo calipers and cross-drilled rotors provide
modern braking performance. With only 621 miles driven since the
completion of its restoration, this custom 1977 Porsche 911
represents a unique fusion of artistry, performance, and decades of
Porsche passiona one-off creation that bridges vintage style with
modern engineering.
