1972 916 Complete Restoration of the # 020 car, 1 of 11 cars made
Posted by JAMES PATRICK on
We were commissioned by the owner to restore this very rare 1972 916 Coupe Porsche - 1 of 11 cars hand built by the design group. The car was purchased by the current owner's father in Germany through Jürgen Barth, and was used in many track day events in Germany during his deployment with the U.S. Army.
The car came to us repainted black, but was restored to its original configuration by our team: Brilliant Silver with Day Glo Red accents.
This car is fitted with a 2.7 L RS MFI engine # 911/53. It has a Magnesium case transaxle with serial number # 009 916 / 915 transaxle, featuring a mechanical drive oil pump and spray bar all built by Porsche Motorsports.
The car features many unique attributes, and was very interesting to see the detail of this body & chassis during this portion of the process, all the way to bare metal and back.
We have over one thousand photographs of this project during the complete restoration here at PATRICK MOTORSPORTS, Too many to post !
