73 911 dream

[PeteK]

Yeah, Singer has made beau coup money backdating 964's to long hoods. Of course there's more to a Singer than the bodywork. Still, at $1M or so, that's a lot of coin.

I have two, a 70 911T and a 73.5 cis targa, love them both, think that the so called "long nose" was the most classic look for the 911 and the best of the breed are the 69-73 models. The back dating is very popular especially for the Pillsbury dough boy, pillowed bumpered, 964s

Nice pair you got there!

I’ve got a 911 problem…

Buddy, sorry to have to tell you that you do not have A 911 problem, you‘ve got MULTIPLE 911 problems

But the good thing is, now that you‘re retired you have more time to drive them !

I had an Albert Blue 1970 911E for years.

Mine is a “sleeper.” Other than the black wheels (16x7 Fuchs with Michelin AS3+ 205/55) it looks pretty stock. Under the deck lid it has a SC engine stroked to 3.2 with a Turbo crank and rods, higher CR Mahle Sport pistons and M1 cam so I continue running the SC CIS injection. At some point I might swap to EFI with ITBs. I haven’t dynoed it, but it should be around 215WHP.

It’s a street car so the suspension is compliant for street use on the crappy roads around my area. I lowered it a little bit, but it still sits high compared to the dick-draggers many people build. I have about 7” of suspension travel, and sometimes I take it off-piste so I need it. Koni Sport adjustable shocks, 21mm front torsion bars and 27mm rear with Stock sway bars, RSR bushings, bump steer correction, turbo tie rods and other miscellaneous stuff.

Sounds like a terrific ride!

Thanks, it is, and I've made the changes gradually and carefully so it remains comfortable on cracked and patched roads around here. If anyone else wants my experienced opinion on suspension changes to air-cooled 911's, feel free to ask.
