Porsche 911 T

The vehicle in detail

In December 2015, the 911 was acquired by Jim Liberty of Liberty Motorsports in Costa Mesa, California, a marque expert known for his work with 356s and early 911s. Over the following two years, the 911 underwent a custom restoration and performance build. Delivered initially in Sepia Brown, it was finished in Slate Grey. Externally, the 911 received a steel S front bumper, aluminum bumper trim, chrome bumperettes, European H4 headlights, and Italian side markers.

The current fastidious owner acquired this 911 in 2020 and further elevated it into a refined Gentleman’s Touring Hotrod. Between 2021 and 2022, the numbers-matching engine was comprehensively rebuilt by Goritz SixFix in Costa Mesa, California, to a high-compression 2.4-liter to 911 S+ specification. The work included the fitment of 90 mm Mahle pistons within Biral cylinders, rebuilt cylinder heads, the long-block was completely rebuilt, Carrera chain tensioner upgrade was installed, oil-bypass modification, and oil-pressure piston update. The mechanical fuel injection (MFI) system was rebuilt and calibrated to 911 S specification, and the throttle bodies and throttle stacks were restored. The distributor was recurved to 911 S profile, while the cylinder heads were ported to 911 S specification. A new clutch assembly was installed, along with a Dansk Sport Exhaust system. Output is estimated at a robust 195–205 horsepower. The braking system also received attention, including rebuilt brake calipers at PMB Performance, with new brake pads. An Elephant Racing front oil cooler, through-the-grille front driving lights, and Euro rear fog lamp. The 911 recently had a brand-new set of Pirelli CN36 tires mounted to factory-finished 15 x 7-inch Fuchs alloy wheels, aligned and corner-balanced by Joey Seely of E-Motion Engineering in Costa Mesa, California. The stance was lowered and complemented with Koni Classic shock absorbers, new bushings, and a carbon-fiber/aluminum strut brace.
