Description
This 1977 Porsche 911 began life as a 3.0-liter Carrera Targa and has been built in the body style of a later-model Turbo cabriolet, with power now supplied by a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The car was acquired by the seller in 2014 as a theft recovery sans engine and drivetrain with Turbo-style fender flares, a whale-tail spoiler, and a black convertible top already installed, and it was subsequently refinished in black…
This 1977 Porsche 911 began life as a 3.0-liter Carrera Targa and has been built in the body style of a later-model Turbo cabriolet, with power now supplied by a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The car was acquired by the seller in 2014 as a theft recovery sans engine and drivetrain with Turbo-style fender flares, a whale-tail spoiler, and a black convertible top already installed, and it was subsequently refinished in black over a black vinyl interior. Other equipment includes 17″ three-piece wheels, air conditioning, and power windows.
The body reportedly was stripped and refinished in Axalta’s two-stage Cromax Pro shade of Super Jet Black circa 2015. Features include steel fender flares, a whale-tail spoiler, and a Porsche convertible top. Weatherstripping—including the top seals—are said to have been replaced.
Staggered-width 17″ Fikse wheels feature three-piece construction and silver-painted centers with polished lips. Toyo Proxes R888 tires mounted during current ownership measure 255/40 and 315/35 front to rear. Up front, a stock sway bar and replacement strut cartridges are complemented by a Rennline strut-tower brace. In the rear, Sway-A-Way torsion bars and adjustable spring plates have been installed along with a Tarett Engineering sway bar and polyurethane bushings. A refresh of the brakes included replacing the master cylinder, adding a booster, rebuilding the stock calipers, and installing drilled and slotted rotors.
The cabin features black vinyl seats with red faux-suede inserts and matching black door panels and carpeting. A custom wiring harness and fuse panel installed by Air-Tech Auto of Fresno, California, conducts power to amenities that include an air-conditioning/heating system by Vintage Air and power windows. There is also a Sony CD receiver with Bluetooth connectivity, but no speakers are installed.
A Momo steering wheel fronts Speedhut instrumentation that includes a four-in-one combination gauge, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and a 180-mph reverse-sweep GPS speedometer. The digital odometer shows 6k miles, all of which were added during current ownership of seven years; true chassis mileage is unknown.
The 5.7L LS1 V8 is said to be from a 2001 Chevrolet Corvette, and the conversion performed by the seller was completed around 2017. Since that time, the engine reportedly was rebuilt with an align-honed block, bored and honed cylinders, a polished crankshaft, reconditioned rods, and forged pistons along with a replacement timing set, camshaft bearings, oil pump, and Trunnion bushings in place of the needle bearings. A radiator/fan kit from Renegade Hybrids was installed with cooling lines fabricated by the seller from aluminum tubing.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed 915 manual transmission mated to the engine with a conversion kit from Renegade Hybrids. Shifts are made with a Hargett Precision Products shifter and linkage. The transmission is said to have been rebuilt with replacement bearings, seals, synchros, and a 3.10:1 final gearset, and the CV joints were replaced.
