Under the hood is the matching numbers „flat six,“ equipped with S camshafts and (oversized) S pistons. The original displacement has been increased from 2200CC to 2300cc. In addition, the 901 5-speed transmission has been completely overhauled, and a new oil pump provides reliable lubrication. Zenith carburetors with open air filters take performance to the next level. Furthermore, the front and rear fenders have been modified to ST-style polyester fenders. A subtle but functional addition is the filler cap on the fuel tank in the trunk. As a finishing touch, Cibie high beams were also mounted on the hood.
Inside, no detail has been overlooked. A sturdy and inspection-correct roll cage is mounted, equipped with mountings for 4-point seat belts. The steering wheel has been replaced with a leather MOMO sports steering wheel, while time-correct Recaro seats and lightweight door panels complete the interior.
This unique restoration process has been captured in detail through a comprehensive series of photos depicting each phase of the restoration. In addition, all accompanying invoices were also preserved.
Driving this car spontaneously conjures a smile on your face. The sheer power, good handling and beautiful sound make every drive an unforgettable experience.

Production of the 911 ST lasted from 1970 to 1971. About thirty-six were built with the lightweight body and configuration. Because they were built to customer specifications, each one is unique.
