CPR first acquired this example in 2014. When the car arrived at CPR it was disassembled to the bare tub and stripped to metal by hand. The undressing of the body revealed a very solid foundation with no notable rust. Minor metal work was performed as needed and all panels were refit to factory tolerances. Following metalwork, the tub was moved to the paint shop where it was placed in heavy primer and then fully undercoated to factory standards. Following undercoating, the tub was primed and blocked extensively to ensure a laser straight finish, was painted in single-stage Viper Green Glasurit paint, and baked in our downdraft paint booth. The car was originally Black.
When the tub exited the paint shop it was fully color sanded and buffed and then began the assembly process. Every single fixture for the car was either restored or replaced as necessary. The suspension was powder coated in the correct shade of black and all hardware was plated to correct finishes. The car sports its original restored aluminum front brakes along with its factory 911S front bumper, S trim, and Koni shocks. The matching numbers 915 gearbox was fully overhauled with a stock gearset, and the matching engine was overhauled in-house and built to 2.7 factory 911RS specifications. The engine now produces about 215hp.
The interior was completed by Autobahn Interiors in full leather. Sport seats were added with houndstooth inserts with green to tie in the exterior color. The car also received modern R134 air conditioning that works outstanding and provides excellent cooling. A factory Porsche Classic Radio was added during assembly and rounds out the lovely interior.
Factory through-the-horn-grille driving lights were installed at the request of the owner, as well as “Deep 6” 15 inch Fuch wheels in lieu of Flat 6 fuchs for aesthetics.
The car completed restoration in July of 2018 and was delivered to its only owner since restoration in Oregon. The most recent owner used the car sparingly over their 5-year ownership and added about 1600 miles.
During the car’s stay in Oregon it resided in a notable collection and has been prepared and maintained to a painstaking level. The car has received oil services annually, and brake fluid flushes every two years. In May of 2022 the car was treated to the installation of Xpel Ultimate Plus ceramic clear film which covers the entire front end of the car, the lower portion of the doors, and quarter panels. The car also had UV protectant clear film installed on the windows. In September of 2023 turbo tie-rod ends were installed and the A/C system was recharged.
This 911S has received a restoration that is second to none in terms of the fit, finish, and mechanical performance the car provides. Every facet of the restoration was performed with immense care and attention to detail. The car will be offered with a 1 year, bumper-to-bumper warranty from CPR and will provide its next owner with a better-than-new driving and ownership experience.
