Eng# ?
Trans# = ?


'. . . Chassis Number 19300644 was manufactured as a normal S by the factory and duly sent to the Werks Porsche Competition Department who converted T, E, and S specification cars into S/T Specification straight from the production line. The car was sold to Kent Frohde, resplendent in Conda Green, on the 22th September 1971. The engine- an original 2 Litre – was tuned to 242bhp. According to Kent Frohde, this was the strongest 2 litre engine that Porsche had tuned at the time.

The car was raced in Swedish racing series at the beginning of the 1970s until it was retired, and the last time it was road worthy was 1976. During 1970 to 1976 it follo§wed the evolution of race cars and was upgraded to meet the competition.

Chassis 119300644 comes complete with a large history file, containing a letter from Kent Frohde confirming its authenticity. The car has been used by its current owner on a large number of European events and rallies where it has performed well. It also benefits from a recent and documented engine rebuild . . .'

242hp?

From Porsche?

No way.


Not with the pathetically low compression ratios Porsche used to run.

Me thinks it was a 2.3 or 2.4.

The information on Starkey site disputes the information in the initial post with regards the conversion. It certainly appears that the current chassis is not the original; location of the VIN stamping is key to this observation.

"This car was purchased new by brothers Kent and Sten Frohde in 1969 in Germany, (Gottfried Schultz, 16th January 1969, engine number 6390928 – Blood Orange) and it was a standard 911S.

In 1970 Kent was driving in Germany and he crashed the car on the Autobahn with a truck. The car was a complete wreck and Kent sent the remains to the Porsche Competition department in Werk 1 and asked them to build him a Group 4 racecar, using what could be salvaged from the wreck. From what he remembers, they could only re-use the engine and gear box, the rest was too badly damaged.

You can see the resulting ST in the photograph above, taken in Sweden in period. “Our” car is the one in the middle, with its distinctive Fuchs made w911S wheels, and the enlarged rear wheel arches, to cover wider than standard tires.

Porsche tuned the original 2-liter engine and Kent remembers it had 242 bhp, which was the strongest 2-liter engine Porsche had build up to that time. The body was also widened 50 mm on each side, which is confirmed in an original document from the official Swedish Car Register. The car was raced in Sweden in various track races by both Kent and Sten, even though the car was owned by Kent from 1970. In 1972, Kent won the SSK class B series in Sweden. The original engine was sold to Norway during the rallycross era in Sweden. No one wanted a small 2-liter engine then…

The car is today upgraded and meets the 1972 Homologation regulations.

Engine: The engine today is a type 911/73, which is equivalent to an RSR. The only thing that differs is that this engine has a Silumin engine crankcase instead of Magnesium and it has low throttle housings instead of high ones. It is a short stroke 66 mm and 89 mm cylinder bore, which gives 2.5 liter (with long stroke the volume would be 2.8 liters). The engine has the original twin plug Marelli distributor coming from the original 2 liter engine. The cylinder heads also came from the original engine and they have the small 12 mm spark plugs, both up and down and big valves. The connecting rods are from a 911 T without any counterweights for better RPM response. The engine has an AT case number which stands for Austauch (meaning replacement). This engine has never been in a standard vehicle. Neil Bainbridge has recently finished an overhaul and full speed run on the MFI. The engine has forged steel rocker arms of original specification, not cast iron ones. The engine delivers some 272 BHP.

Gearbox: The gearbox is a type 915 with original ZF differential and it has an 8:31 gear ratio. The gearbox is made with genuine original parts. 1st gear is a “long” gear and the others are matching.

Chassis: In the rear the car has reinforced RSR trailing arms. Shocks are Green Bilstein. Brakes are original. In the front it has the original S-alu brakes and the shocks are lowered and reinforced Bilstein race. Car is painted in Conda Green, which was the colour the car was delivered with after being in the Porsche Competition Department in 1970.

Interior: Seats are Recaro 1300 on passenger side and 1328 on driver side. There is a modern roll-cage installed. Brake balance is adjustable. A fixed fire extinguisher system is installed.

Front: A modern safety fuel cell with 100-liter tank is installed. The lid is made of fiberglass.

Rear: Engine lid is made of aluminum and is NOS."

The L&R front fenders are for sale just PM for price, the owner is putting the car back to stock or how it left the factory and the way Kent Frohde was racing the car back in the day Sweden, the Frohde brothers were racing Porsche in the 1960 and 1970 in Sweden and Sten Frode was fast in his 1968 old Waldegård car back in the day ! but probably Kent's car was faster?

The 2 front fenders are perfect not any fillers on them pm for prices when you like a perfect ST car

I know the owner and the car has a very interesting history as most of the old race cars have.

Thanks

Kent's brother was a good driver with, Sten Frohde in a 911T which he had bought from Scania in Södertälje with which Björn Waldegård had run and won the KAK rally in 1968. The car was a 911T, possibly a ST, it had 160 hp from the factory and had reg number BB 2277 and chassis number 11820422. Frodhe had the car until 1971,
