1966 912 lightweight 911R inspired hot rod

THE VISION

After several factory correct restorations this was our client's passion project.  The objective was to build a lightweight hotrod without any limitations on budget. In thier mind, they envisioned a 911R style hotrod that weighed less than a 1967 911R (1810 lbs) and had a power to weight ratio exceeding a 997 GT3.

THE CAR

Starting with a Light Ivory 1966 912 it went through a 4 year bare metal restoration and was finished in period correct Leaf Green Glasurit after acid dipping. Extensive weight saving measures were taken including EB Motorsports fiberglass front fenders, hood, bumpers, deck-lid, lightweight carpet etc. while weighing in at 1787 lbs dry. 

The motor is a 2.8L, based on a fully race prepped 2.7 7R case with 2.8L cylinders and custom pistons with 9.8:1 compression. The motor runs with Clewett crankfire ignition, PMO 46 carbs, GE80 cams and a fully prepped shuffle pinned 2.7 case. 

The transmission is a fully rebuilt close ratio 901 gearbox with AFMSX gearset and Wavetrac LSD. Suspension is the full suite of Rebel Racing suspension with PMB restored 70S front calipers and Wide M rears along with restored Deep Six Fuchs with hearts. Cooling is handled by a single Carrera cooler and finned Elephant racing oil lines.

It now has over 850 miles of break in and is ready to be enjoyed!
