Porsche 912 Speedster

Kom over denne på nettet. Er noe av det lekreste jeg har sett. Ser jo original ut. Tror aldri dette har vært noe prototype fra Porsche heller. Bygget i 1991.
These are of my '66 912 "speedster", (early green 3 gauge dash).
The conversion was done by Ted Williams in 1991. According to the article that was in 'European Car' March 1993 he changed the rear body using a ghia cowl to come up with the more rakish look. The same reason he used a 912 instead of a 911, since the fan cooling is forward on a 912 (ah-la 356). More of a 356 speedster style (see engine lid) then later 911 humpback. I like it (of course), a perfect transition between the 356 and the 911. Ted's work was outstanding, the paint is 13 years old, and not a crack or flaw to be seen. When I showed it to Gary at Part's Obsolete, he commented about the windshield. He said the you could only buy the '89 speedster windshields as a complete unit, (glass and frame), and they were over $3500 in the 1990s. It turns out mine is a factory 911/912 windshield that was cut down (much lower then an '89, same height as a 356 speedster) to fit a widened factory 356 speedster frame.
