This backdate or restomod is based upon a Porsche 964 C2. Inspiration was taken from Los Angeles based Singer Vehicle Design and the singular vision of Rob Dickinson an ex-car designer who then became a rock musician.
Like Singer, our vendor started with a Tiptronic 964 imported from Japan for the prime purpose of building this unique vehicle. The project was a three year labour of love a comprehensive restoration to achieve the 1973 look. The work started with a complete nut and bolt rotisserie re-build with body and paint entrusted to GT Refinishers. Everything that was enacted at this stage has been done in steel including all bodywork, guards and bumpers, complete with customised steel side sills and extensions. This is not a light fantastic, no fibreglass has been used.
The interior has been tubed for a smoother than butter look. It features customised rear seats, consoles, sills and trim in Italian leather. The Tipo transmission was replaced by a 6-speed item from a Porsche 993.
The vendors comprehensive list of the work undertaken:
993 6-speed conversion, light weight single mass flywheel, performance clutch
993 turbo Big Red brake conversion
993 steering rack and front hubs
Ohlins sport adjustable coil overs all round
18x10and 18x8 Fuchs style wheels
996 GT3 front seats
Porsche classic stereo
993 RS steering wheel
ECU upgrade with distributor delete and Map senor upgrade.
Single pulley alternator conversion
Custom stainless steel performance exhaust including headers
We seldom see a restomod that looks the part and not just an afterthought. Accordingly, it should be noted with pride that this Kiwi version is right up there with the best of them. It is a world class outcome.
