elferluft Posted 27April, 2022 Report Share Posted 27April, 2022 Crazy... however plenty of desirable parts. Some questions around the validity of the WOVR which may have helped it along ... the whole recent saga around this car is very strange.

Big money had been spent on it and nothing on the car was done poorly , I saw no evidence of the car being a repaired ride off the paint and body work were flawless when I looked at the car and every thing was done to a very high standard ,,,, I posted this car up in this very thread about 6 months ago and also purchased tickets when it was raffled . https://classicthrottleshop.com/1976-porsche-911-sc-rsr/ https://classicsforacause.com.au/double-blue-porsche/ Spec below Starting life as a 1976 Australian delivered 911 SC, the dream became a reality over 10 years ago, to build a very special race machine inspired by one of the best purpose built sport cars in the world. Painted in the unique Mexico Blue which George Follmer ran in the IROC series, the bare-shell assembly took a very careful 5 months by PR Technology to '74 IROC RSR specifications.Firstly fitted with a new 400hp 3.8 litre, the car was used for motorsport & track day events while kept in stunning condition.Years later it under went a second full body restoration by Auto Coupe, bring it back to a more road going focus but still keeping to its true identity as a race car.A 3.2 litre 73/74 RSR spec motor is fitted. This has been built by Jerry Woods at JWE MotorSports in San Jose and is based on a ’76 short stroke 930 turbo case and crankshaft, putting out 350 horsepower. Also inside the engine bay is the slide-valve mechanical fuel injection fed by the period correct high velocity stacks, making the cost of the engine alone around the $150,000 mark.The Close Ratio 915 gearbox with WEVO gate shifter, internals and LSD, also built by PR Technology is retained.Matching the featured IROC body is custom RSR coil-overs with Bilstein Comps to match Roger Penske’s IROC series cars.

They can write whatever they like, doesn't make it true. The 3.8 that was previously in it possibly could have made 350hp, not the 3.2 that is for sure. making over 100hp per litre in these old aircooled engines is near on non existent. The Singer DLS with its crazy Williams developed engine does it, and that makes 500hp from 4 litres at 9000rpm with 4 cam heads but that is not a normal build. Even Singers 3.8 litre 'only' makes 350hp. rafikdous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 3.0 is making a genuine 300hp + on webers, extremely well built motor by a master. 350hp with that set up is not surprising. symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true they can write what they want in a sales advert ,an it could be BS,, but when I looked at it they had a mountain of paperwork and receipts including the engine work from Jerry Woods who did the motor in the U.S and he has a very good reputation for reliable high HP air cooled motors,the car was a very impressive build and worth the original asking price at CTS , interesting that it sold for less at Greys , than the original CTS sales price .. symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symsy Posted 27April, 2022 Report Share Posted 27April, 2022 Ahh JEFF .. @MFX I think you hit the nail on the head there mate and it applies to forums and retailers of these pieces of ego expression , I wish I had a massive c..ck or is that block. "They can write whatever they like, doesn't make it true". As for comments on BHP , Tuthil and Ninemeister in the UK both getting 350+ out of their Aircool motors .. Singer is not the be all and end all .. PFA =.

Foibles Posted 4May, 2022 Report Share Posted 4May, 2022 1 hour ago, 9er said: You get bang for your buck with Lotus 1988 Turbo for $65K Highly debatable that that is bang for your buck. I don't know the Esprits that well, but surely the S4s or the last of the model V8's are the ones to have...else the earliest S1 from a collectability perspective (but not bang for buck). What I do know about the Esprit is that there is a proliferation of these from Honkers, Singers and Japan with some slightly dubious odometer readings and no verifiable history in sight...so hopefully this one is a step up on that.
