LA964RS

I'm considering doing an early look 911 or 930 w/the 964. You get all the latest goodies on the 964 but I like earlier styling, bumpers, etc. a bit better

Can you fit, or has anyone fit the 17" two piece 930 Fuchs (made by HRE I think) to a 964 or better yet, 17" Rufs?

I know the off-sets are a bit different in the rears, but what about the fronts.

I'd like to either do a 930 look or possibly go for the yellow bird narrow body look.

Thanks,

How about back dating to a '73 RS?

I like the '64 to '73 styling, but the '70's and '80's with the accordian bumpers and all the plastic were real eyesores IMHO. I will always think the 964 is the most perfect 911!! I want a 356 and an early 911 before I die but I'll avoid the 70's and 80's like the plague!

Peter - I agree..HOW 'bout a '73 RS???!!

I'm about to list a 1977 911 (full paint strip and painted red clear coat) with a full metal widebody C2 turbo look for sale. The engine and trans are being sold seperate but if an offer is right I could include them. The engine is a 1977 930 3.0 Euro turbo motor with later exhaust, K27 turbo and inner cooler. I bought the setup for this body and never installed or ran it yet. The tran has had complete overhaul bearings, seals, synchros and heavier side cover. If your interested I can give you a full list of everything thats been done and whats left to do and pics. Also includes 17" 993 turbo twist wheels that fit very nice in the wheel wheels.

I think a 964 with a ducktail would be outstanding. Anybody have a pic of that?

I'm actually thinking of doing the wide body w/the duck tail.

The problem is coming up w/wheels that look right. That's why I want to know if anyone has run the 17 mentioned above.

There was an article in Porsche 911 world or maybe Excellence with a guy who did the 73 RS conversion w/a 964. Does anyone remember that?....I've got most of the Excellence, but no the Porsche 911 world.

Thanks

i think that article refers to mid 70's car not a 964 as far as i recall.

and i think that is one of the main problems doing the back date w/ the 964 is getting the wheels to look right.

There have been a few 70's cars in 911 World that have been upgraded with 964 and/or 993 engines, but I can't recall a 964 made to look like an older model. However, I think that PC2's idea of a 73 RS would be cool if you could get wheels that would fit. The futches have an offset that would make for a tricky fitment on a 964.

The October 1999 issue of Excellence had an article about a European 964 RS converted to resemble a 1973 Carrera RSR. Looked pretty neat. The conversion was built by Heinz and Franz Emmerling.

I also stumbled onto this pic of a 964 with a duck tail on the pelican BBS.

Wouldn't a 73 RS cost about the same as a conversion? Only advantage I could see is tha the tub would be galvanized.

This question (can a 964 be given an earlier look - usually 73RS) has come up a number of times - you might want to do a search.

IIRC no-one here has done it, the body parts to make a convincing front don't seem to be available and, I haven't seen a custom job (I don't have that 1999 Excellence mag).

As for 964 with ducktails - try search again - there were at least two I recall a white one for sure and they did look cute.....

As for the Fuchs - you'll have to get the offset for the wheels you like and looksee here - I ain't seen any Fuchs for a pre-964 on a 964, 993 or Boxster so I doubt it but I could be wrong. IIRC there are some Fuchs look-alikes available in 964/993 offsets but I cannae remember where I saw them.

I think this is an outstanding look. I have a 93 RSA on the way (pending PPI) and was thinking of putting a ducktail on. Can anyone tell me which mfg's ducktail will fit a 964?
