This Porsche 911E is the 212th of 1304 'B'-series 911Es built for the 1970 model year. It left the factory in the fall of 1969. Thirty years later it was converted into a SOVREN 1969 C/P-legal vintage racer. The work was completed at a cost of nearly $100,000 and debuted on the track in March of 2000.
The body shell was chemically stripped to bare metal and a full roll cage was welded in before it was completely repainted in Signal Orange. The rear quarter glass and backlight were replaced with Lexan. Two racing seats were installed with Schroth competition six-point harnesses. The stock instruments were retained with the exception of the tachometer, which was replaced by an AutoMeter unit. A fire-suppression system and a fuel cell were also installed. The suspension was upgraded with threaded Bilstein RS shocks in the rear and raised spindles on Bilstein struts in front. Hollow sway-bars are by Racers Group. The chassis was lowered and corner weighted. The four-wheel disc brakes use 911SC calipers and braided stainless lines. The car rides on 7 x 15 Fuchs forged alloy wheels and Hoosier racing tires. The original engine has been replaced with a period correct and class-legal 2.0 carbureted flat-six. Its crankshaft was modified to accept more two-inch Chevrolet main bearings, Pauter rods, a 3.6 oil pump, and cylinder heads tapped for twin-plug ignition. The engine is currently setup with a single-plug distributor, and a pair of Weber 40mm triple-throat carburetors. The engine produces an estimated 215 horsepower.
There is a competition clutch package mated to a Porsche 901 five-speed transaxle with close-ratio gears and a ZF limited-slip differential. The gearbox has been reinforced with a billet intermediate plate and billet side plates. There are two oil coolers.
In its modified guise, this car weighs less than 2000 pounds.
In 2013, this car was offered for sale at Bonhams Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was estimated to sell for $60,000 - $70,000. Bidding failed to satisfy the vehicle's reserve. It would leave the auction unsold.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2013
