Anyone seen this Porsche factory restoration of the 911 Long Version :confused:

Interesting. The best part of the car is the pre-RS oil cooler bumper.

Here's a period photo of the car; the C20 -

I think it's really a '72 in disguise! ;)

Maybe, but the period photo above is from Jurgen Barth's book. I betcha the '72 oil filler relocation was conceived before the '72 models actually hit the showroom floor... in '71. ;) :p

So was the rear passenger compartment the only place it was lengthened? Cuz they seem to have left the "occasional" seats the same.

BTW, it's an MFI car - wouldn't it be great to meet their MFI guys - or better yet - find out that they too have to send their pumps out to Gus!!!

That is one ugly looking car. :eek: I have heard the factory is not that accurate with their restorations. The little details are often wrong. Wonder why ?

above Prototyp B20/911 C20 was built on July 6th 1970 by Porsche.
Chassisnumber 911 030 0004. 2.2S motor. Wheelbase 2615mm.

The Pininfarina version is more pleasing to the eye IMHO. That rear side glass looks a lot like the Renault Alpine.

Looks to me like something Oscar Meyer might have done for a publicity stunt...:p , just squirt some mustard on it.....
