    Question Anyone have information on this car. Or know the owner?

    I am looking for information on this gorgeous long hood early 911. I am extremely interested in the wheels, they look like aluminum machined to simulate Porsche steel, and the offset is perfect.

    And the whole car is a stunner, and I would love to have more information on it.

    Thanks guys and gals.

    It would help if we knew where you found the photo. A link to that location would be most helpful.

    Dave,

    Sorry for the cryptic post...

    I believe that shot was taken in front of John's shop in Long Beach CA....

    I got the image by Googling 'John Willhoit Porsche wheels'

    Cheers,

    Chuck, I think that Dave was asking the OP the question.

    I actually have since posting did a image "Visual search" and found a hit on Pinterest actually, the link was broken but it had "Elephant Racing Affiliate Shop" on the photo, and a broken link to a Boxer Rebellion site. But I have messaged Elephant Racing and also tagged them in a post I made on Instagram. So hopefully I will hear back.

    Thanks for the reply!

    Actually, the Technomagnesio wheels sold on Wilhoit's site are wide-5 for drum brake 356.

    The wheels on the 911's shown here are probably Boyd Coddington's wheels. https://hotrodsbyboyd.com/2019/05/
