The 911 was discovered in Arizona in the late 1990s. The car was located in a sand lot. painted red. but in exceptionally preserved condition with zero rust or rot.
A project was commissioned to bring the Porsche back to life. eventually taking the better half of 10 years to complete. The car was totally stripped down to a shell. and rebuilt. The body and floorpans needed no rust repair. The front and rear suspension pieces were stripped and had a baked on aircraft finish applied. Everything from new wheel bearings to custom built koni double adjustable shocks were addressed. A drawn over mandrel roll cage was then built to the specs of a GT3 1999 factory race car and installed into the vehicle.
