Vintage Excellence Vintage Porsche Specialist High end restoration of vintage Porsche cars

The art to a proper restoration is blending the old original parts where it counts with the new restoration parts. Lots of new parts we get today are not near as good as the original parts so a large stock of old parts should never be under appreciated. Someone changed the colors of this car to White over Black for some reason - I am putting it back to how it was - Special Order “to sample” color.

It’s an amazing car with an incredible story - built by Porsche racing department, powered by a 3.0L RSR engine slightly de tuned for pump gas and low end power needed for rally driving. Commissioned by a privateer that threw as much money as he had at it so he could race against the bigger factory teams. Built at the very end of an era, by this time track racing was no longer affordable for the small private team but rally racing was and Porsche built just this one of these then said never again - they went on to create 21 of the 911SC/RS cars which share most all the parts and attributes of this very car.

Since it’s a one off factory built race car I’m open to your offer. I want to sell it. What would you pay for this car? Feel free to DM me an offer.

Larry Chen just visited the shop I am working with in Thailand, excerpt from his latest YouTube video. This is the 65 911 project I am in charge of - engine finished - you can see the build in my feed, next step is paint. So many details on these old cars to make right. This type of restoration is 10 times more difficult than building a restomod or customizing a car. I feel this level of work is so much more important than modernizing a car with more power, this is bringing the car back to its original form. We are preserving history.

This Safari RSR has just gone through a full inspection by myself and what a car in wonderful ready to use condition. What you are looking at is an unrestored original condition Porsche factory built custom one off RSR rally car to the customer’s spec. This road legal rally car is unlike any other car Porsche had built at the time - circa 1978 the customer racing department in Werk 1 Zuffenhausen took an older chassis from 1972 so they could put a monster 300hp 3.0L race car engine in and remain road legal in the USA where it was campaigned over 3 seasons in the SCCA Pro Rally series. Competing in over 21 races with a first place overall win and a few podium finishes.

This was a rare time when privateers could race against factory teams and if you were good enough then you could win. It was a unique time that Porsche would take an older chassis and build whatever you wanted. It was so expensive and time consuming they said they would never build another one off like this - it is if you will a hand built prototype rally car.

A few years later Porsche would go on to build the 911 SC/RS for FIA Group B rally category and we like to think they used what they learned building this car to create the 21 SC/RS cars as they share many of the same parts as this very car but this was the first one built.

Now available for sale, if you are looking for a truly unique and exceptional car for rally events then I doubt you would be able to find something more rare than this car. Currently road legal in all 50 states and registered in California with a clear title, if you are interested in purchasing this car then DM me directly, see more information and detailed pictures on my website in my profile.

My favorite details on the Safari RSR.

In my quest to learn about all the genuine Porsche sport bucket seats I present to you the lightweight ultra supportive Recaro 935 “Lollipop” seats. Weighing in at 19lbs each with sliders, a fixed headrest and very supportive shoulder bolsters it is quite interesting how the fiberglass buckets evolved from the 911R seats to this. They are tight! As a racing seat should be, so maybe not the best seat for long drives unless an aftermarket was made that is slightly wider. No round boys will fit in these! They accommodate 5 point harnesses which really evolved the safety aspect - probably needed in a 600+hp twin turbo car.

In 1978-79 Bruno Kreibich asked Porsche to build him a rally car. Gerd Schmid the director of the customer racing department oversaw the project in Werk 1. The car was built alongside factory built 935s and they used a 1972 911T chassis so Bruno could legally race it on public roads - a 1979 model year factory race car would not have been street legal. The project was deemed so involved and expensive Gerd said they would never do it again for a single customer. After this car other cars such as the SCRS and Dakar rally cars were built, most likely using some of the development this car pioneered.
