BaT's Description:
This 1969 Porsche 911 is a modified RSR tribute with 7K miles on a comprehensive custom build featuring 930 flares, RSR bodywork, and a modified 3.8L 993 engine with Mahle RSR pistons, 3.8 RSR camshafts, and more detailed below. The project began on the east coast in the late 2000s, and completion took two years and reportedly cost almost $200K. Said to be reliable and fast, the car has performed well at recent track days and has been driven in road rallies including the Targa California and Baja Targa. It was the subject of a
2015 Automobile feature and is available with partial build receipts and a clean California title.
The build started with a 1969 911 body shell that underwent rust repair before 930 flares were welded on and seams filled. Fiberglass RSR-look pieces were added including the hood, air dam, ducktail deck lid, and rear bumper. The car was then painted inside and out, including the floors and under the dash. The finish presents well overall. This car has been regularly enjoyed on the road and as a result shows some chips, scuffs, dings, and sandblasting on the nose, rockers, and rear wheel arches. Other wear and tear includes minor scratches in the window frames, a paint chip on the right rear flare, and discoloration of the rear bumper cover above the exhaust outlets. Front lighting features an H4 headlight conversion and hood-mounted Cibie fogs. Plastic and metal trim looks clean. A Lexan rear window is fitted with cross-drilled braces, while 17″ Fikse wheels wear Toyo Proxes R888 tires measuring 255 up front and 315 in the rear.
Recaro vintage-style seats are fitted with M&R harnesses mounted to a four-point roll bar, and the driver sits behind a Momo Prototipo steering wheel. The shifter is a 917-inspired wood knob. Floor panels show painted-over pitting underneath coco mats. An RSR rear carpet set is fitted and the headliner is new. RS door panels show signs of use including a small hole in the pocket and wear on the driver’s window winder. The dash has been restored and a CAN terminal is fitted for the engine management system. Instrumentation is augmented with a 993 speedo, Accutech brake pressure gauges, large red oil pressure light, and a very nice Tag Heuer stopwatch panel in place of a radio. Rennline aluminum foot boards are fitted. The odometer was reset during the build and the car has run up 7k miles since.
The front trunk area is houses an FIA-approved fuel cell from ATL, and a rollover fuel cutoff has also been added. An upgraded fuse box allows the use of modern spade-type fuses. Power comes from a twin spark flat six sourced from a 993 and comprehensively overhauled with machine work and new parts. Displacement was increased from 3.6 to 3.8 liters. Cylinder bores were aligned and the case was decked, shuffle pinned, and boat-tailed. The crankshaft was balanced, magnafluxed, heat treated, knife edged, grooved, and cross-drilled. Carillo rods were installed with new bearings and Mahle RSR pistons for an 11:1 compression ratio. Cylinder heads were resurfaced, ported and polished, and fitted with 3.8 RSR camshafts. Valvetrain upgrades included RSR springs, RSR intake valves with new seats, new exhaust valves, and guides. These were all covered by CNC aluminum valve covers. Timing chain ramps, rails, flange, and cam gears were replaced, and a pulley and timing kit from Clewett Engineering was installed. Fabspeed headers and heater boxes feed a high-flow stainless exhaust. Induction is via independent throttle bodies and fuel injection controlled by Autronic standalone engine management. Ignition is an Autronic CDI and twin MSD coils firing through 993 distributors. A front-mount oil cooler with fan was installed, oil plugs were replaced, and oil squirters and a catch tank were added. The engine has received extensive dyno testing and is said to make substantial power, with an included year-old dyno sheet showing almost 300 horsepower.
The 915 5-speed gearbox was reinforced and rebuilt with upgraded gears and syncros, as well as new mainshaft and pinion bearings. A lightweight flywheel, RSR pressure plate, and clutch disc have also been fitted. Underbody pans appear solid in photos. Suspension upgrades include revalved Bilsteins, 21mm front and 29mm rear torsion bars, a front cross-brace, and SC trailing arms. Camber plates, rear spring plates, and rear sway bar plates are all adjustable. New rear hubs were fitted along with fresh wheel, trailing arm, and A-arm bearings, new ball joints, and Turbo tie rod ends. 930 front and rear brake calipers are actuated by an adjustable Tilton dual-reservoir master cylinder.
Many receipts are included from the initial build. Over $25K in recent service included top end work, ITB adjustment, and a clutch arm, cable, and pedal shaft. The oil thermostat, sender, and cooler fittings were also replaced and the seller is not aware of any outstanding mechanical issues. Though the car is used on track only occasionally, a recent weekend at Willow Springs reportedly yielded lap times in the mid 1:30s with prudent driving.
