Late 70 early 71 ST Build info request

[Yellow491]

This is SO true... especially the period your looking at...

My references look like late '70 to pre Le Mans '71 those 'S/T's that had wide bodywork (mostly just in the rear) were running Minilites… By the June Le Mans of '71 the 18 911's were split about 60/40 still towards Minilites… Point being, there were so few 'factory cars' and homologated parts that the privateers would run what would work within the rules and what they could afford...

Of the 18 911's running at Le Mans in '71, (all in GTS Class) they were running 3 different engine capacities all with a 66mm stroke but 4 different piston sizes:

9 with 87.5mm = 2.4
6 with 85mm = 2.3
1 with 84mm = 2.2
2 with 80mm = 2.0

Reference:
Porsche at Le Mans - Pascal
Grand Tourisme Part 1 -Weber

The pic of the white car out of AutoFarm in a UK magazine almost 20 years ago is what REALLY lit me up to the whole S/T thing... I couldn't stop looking at it …

Hope any of this helps,

Thanks,raced it,rallied it,thrashed around the leipzig test track etc,a truly great car with a 2.5 mfi,and shed loads of grip
It is a 471 and 491 with pretty much all steel panels thin gauge , and the double inner fenders factory done for rallying.Glad its inspired a few folk.

To me it begs the question 'what the hell could you have replaced it with ??????'

No matter, I envy and admire your time as its custodian....

Ah well,i had a 906 for about 5 years,raced that great fun but dangerous cars to race properly,so now the ultimate 911 in my book a 2.8rsr,a st On steroids and a lot faster
Funny story with the st,a mate at eb motorsport said at the nurburg ring when we racing down there in the rsr,hey have you seen the st in scruttaneering,its got realy funny shaped arches cant be a original,the new owner was having trouble with the scrutts on its fia papers and some uniquie parts on the car like its double inner fenders,they did not know a original car when they see one!We got it through the scrutts with the help of a few phone calls.

I remember this car too, from a test into an English magazine, I think.
Nice ST

Took a look at Restoration Design's ST flares.
Anyone used these? They are pricey. Apparently
they get them from a vender in Europe.
Early vs. late ST build? I see that some prefer
narrow body early build and others prefer the
2.5 wide body build. Seems like a '71 could go
both ways possibly. Any thoughts? Would either build
have 2 fender coolers? I know a '72 build would?

I think you can buy them direct from the chap in poland,use 9 inch steels on the rear and a quality copy grp front arch,try eb motorsport for a complete front fender,they are not cheap but fit well and fairly close to the real thing,rothsport are there agent in the usa.
Depends what you are going to do with car re front coolers,mine had two.
