This 1984 Porsche 911 features a modified bodywork, mimicking the appearance of earlier models; thanks to its steel flares of the factory Turbo Look pack, the longhood conversion and the backdated bumpers, it also looks like something Singer would have built.
With Singer 911s now commanding six- or seven-figures, this beauty right here could be a great deal for an avid air-cooled Porsche fan as the top bid at the moment of writing sits at $75,000 over at Bring A Trailer. Sure, it might not have the bespoke carbon bodywork or Cosworth blueprinted engine of a Singer, but still, do you really care when it costs so much less and looks that good?
The car was subjected to a windows-out repaint last year in the original Guards Red, followed by the longhood conversion which included welding a new panel on the factory steel hood. The backdated bumpers are made out of fiberglass, while a polished grille has been added to the engine lid.
The front end also received a pair of retro yellow headlights, as well as early-style turn signal units. A set of 15-inch Fuchs-style alloys measuring 9 inches wide up front and 11 inches at the back are also present. The brakes were updated with new rotors and rebuilt 930 Turbo calipers, along with new pads and stainless steel lines. The suspension has been upgraded with new sway bars, bushings and adjustable spring plates.
Look inside and you’ll find a pair of new sport seats, headliner and RS-style carpets with custom soundproofing material. It also sports basketweave door panels with leather pull straps, a leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel and upgraded gauges, with the odometer showing just over 88,000 miles.
The 3.2-liter flat-six engine features an aftermarket chip, a K&N intake and a Fabspeed RSR exhaust system. The five-speed manual transmission was rebuilt eight thousand miles ago with a new clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing and Wavetrack limited-slip differential.
