3.6L 1982 Porsche 911SC Hot Rod

This 1982 Porsche 911SC is an extensively modified sunroof coupe finished in its original shade of Platinum Metallic. Jay Putnam Engineering of Delray Beach, Florida began the cosmetic backdate in 2009 with the addition of fiberglass front fenders, hood, bumpers, and a ducktail. The interior was stripped and fitted with Recaro Pole Position seats and a rear roll bar, as well as RS-style carpets and door panels. A 3.6-liter flat-six was sourced from a 1997 993 and rebuilt before being installed. The 915 5-speed transaxle was rebuilt in 2011 by Targa Engineering of Jupiter, Florida. They also modified the suspension with Bilstein dampers, a larger front sway bar, 26mm rear torsion bars, and more. Around 1,300 miles have been added since the work was completed, and recent servicing included an oil change and a new battery.
