964 Restoration
Hi guys.
I have been a water-cooled owner for a while but now I am thinking about adding a Air-cooled Pcar.
I have inquired about a Singer but is there any garage that you would recommend that could restore a 964 to its almost original factory state.
I am willing to ship the car anywhere in the continental US.
Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by "almost original?" Are you planning modifications or do you want a completely stock car? And what are your plans for the car after it's been restored?
If you want a completely stock car there are still very low mileage original examples out there that sure do cost a bunch, but the price is comparable or maybe even lower than what a competent shop will charge you for a ground up restoration of a beat up car. I'd personally go that route.
If you want to restore a car Road Scholars, Automotive Associates, Paterek Brothers, Wilhoit, Canepa, and several others can do this for you. But most highly competent shops are sought after and have long wait times to get started on a project like yours.

Not concours restorations, just modestly retouched. Clean paint, can be driven and not overheating if driven in a 100 F weather.
Thanks for your leads.

Pino could do this for considerably less cost and equally as nice. All depends on how far he wants to take it.

I'm confused. Do you want a nice original driver, or a fully custom build hot rod?
You're describing two totally different things. You don't need to spend 500k on a singer in order to drive it in 100 weather. A car with clean paint and mechanically sound is an entirely different animal from singer or any of the other guys building cars like that.
