Thread: My 911sc Martini Hot Rod

  1. #1

    My 911sc Martini Hot Rod

    Just finished..
    After selling my old 69T Hot Rod a few years ago, I begin to really miss a Porsche in the garage. I started looking a few years ago (on and off) for another 911. Early, longhoods were out of the question (I already had owned one), so I started looking at SC's and 3.2 Carrera's.
    Older Porsches in Australia are hard to find in good condition and a reasonable price, searching for an Australian delivered car etc etc narrows the choices.
    I ended up finding this nice, clean 1980/81 204 hp car in Sky Blue Metallic.
    After owning and subtly modifying my last car, the SC was on the same path.
    I have always like the European Rally SC's and loosely based this car on one. The car was too good to chop up and put the bolt on flares on, so I kept the body standard apart from a metal-framed ducktail and the Cibie (real) hood lights.
    I removed the aircon and smog pump and will backdate the heater in the future. A Mille Miglia muffler replaces the heavy stock one.
    The most obvious mods are the Group 4 wheels in 7x15 and 8x15 with Maxxis tyres 195/65 and 225/60.
    The Martini stripes are replica's from the factory Martini edition (SC and Turbo)
    I had a custom 911SC decal made up for the ducktail by Auto Grafik. Classic Auto Inspired Decals
    Inside.. the SC has Cobra RS seats re-done with Porsche Tartan and a half cage, the rest is original.
    Its lowered on 23 and 31 Sway Away torsion bars and sport shocks.
    Im looking forward to enjoying the car..

    Great color. That color is one of my favorites on the impact cars. Neat SC decal on the ducktail.

    I'm surprised no ones's mentioned the wheels yet..........that's a great look, Matt.

    To me, the choice of wheels, especially the gold color make the car.

    Compliments.

    Thanks John, I have always loved these wheels, especially since the SC rallied on them in Europe.

    I was really unsure on the color when I bought the car. Im happy with it now though
    I had the SC decal made up, its the same size as a Carrera RS decal, the ducktail really needed something there..
