Porsche 356 Rod Emory Outlaw

The vehicle in detail

In 2008, Emory Motorsports was commissioned to execute a thorough bare metal restoration to build a custom racecar. The chassis was disassembled and subjected to media blasting, unveiling the bare metal. The 356 underwent meticulous metal finishing and enhancements, including incorporating front scoops and a front vented grill. At this point, a complete roll cage was fabricated and painted to match the 356s body color. Additional racing enhancements included a disc brake conversion, a 911 dual-circuit master cylinder, Sparco racing seatbelts, Lexan polycarbonate racing glass, Raydot mirrors, 911R-style decklid hinges, A038 race tires, a Willhoit short shifter, and a GT limited-slip differential.

In 2011, the owner returned the 356 to Rod Emory and opted for a $20,000 street conversion which included significant modifications to the 356s body, suspension, transmission, engine, and electrical systems. Key features of this conversion encompassed the rebuild of the transmission utilizing BBBC gearing, an engine upgrade with a 1720 big bore kit, and the installation of glass windows. Furthermore, in 2014, the owner acquired fiberglass “BigBoy” Speedster seat shells along with GT Speedster alloy seat frames from Fibersteel. In 2018 this Emory Outlaw was purchased by the current owner. After several years of pure enjoyment, the owner decided it was time for a complete restoration.
