This is the car that I am selling. Please email for details. I am asking 55k. There is over 85k into the car.
A little about the car:
This is a Thunder Ranch car. TR purchased Beck's original tooling for there 4 cylinder kits. This 6 cylinder kit is their own design and culmination of a lot of hard work which is why these are so rare and so expensive. Not to mention the additional cost of the 911 motor. TR has made over 330 (4 cylinder kits) and only 5 (6 cylinder kits like mine). This is a very rare vehicle. There is over $85,000 into this car and if you wanted to recreate it you would spend near 6 figures. This is your chance to own it at a fraction of what it would cost to build with all of the work being complete and can be enjoyed immediately.
KitCar Magazine Cover car in 2009. This car was on the cover with a large article written about it in 2009. I have 3 copies of the magazine that will come with the car. The only difference is that I changed some of the interior to red and added red leather heated seats... which is a great addition for those cold mornings or nights.
Mileage: 4,600 kilometers (<1,000 on rebuilt motor and carbs), approx. 2,800 miles.
Note: New Red interior completed less than 2 months ago. Some older photos will show black seats which were vinyl.
Motor: less than 1000 miles since rebuild
- 2.4 liter twin plug 1973 911S motor. This was a stock 2.4 liter. The S heads were added and twin plugged, S cams, S pistons, etc... to make it a true "S" motor. I recently completed a top end rebuild (Competition Engineering in Lake Isabella performed the work) and inspected the bottom end which needed nothing and looked great. The only thing that was replaced was the access circular oil gasket on the bottom of the motor by the drain plug which was weeping. All front main and rear seals were all dry as a bone.
- Peterson 10 quart oiling system with hard in-line oil filter and cooler with built in fan. This car will never overheat because of how open the motor is. The fan rarely even comes on.
- Rebuilt Weber 40mm stacks done by Paul at Performance Oriented. This was a complete rebuild with center shaft drilling... not cheap!
- New Mallory Comp fuel pump with Holly fuel pressure regulator and A/N inline (reusable) fuel filter. Also, all new stainless steel braided fuel lines were added when the engine was rebuilt
- Installed new style auto weather proof engine wiring harness connectors for easy removal when needed. This is a 8-way connector and used for all major wires from fuse panel to engine. Very easy to disconnect during engine removal or maintenance.
- Estimated at 225hp (if not more) and the car weighs approx. 1,400lbs.
- Custom 3-2-1 ceramic coated exhaust system with Dynaflow mini mufflers.
- Hydraulic assisted slave cylinder on clutch for easy driving.
Exterior/Interior:
- Racing plex windshield by Hanna manufacturing
- 356 glass windshield included with all framework and fasteners. I couldn't bring myself to drill holes for installation and love the current look of the vehicle.
