Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge in the United States

Porsche Sports Car Together Fest @ Indianapolis Motor Speedway

As for the story in the United States, a tournament called "Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge" was held.

By the way, it seems that Porsche classic cars exist in the United States more than any other market in the world.

The event held by Porsche Classic in the United States is this Porsche Classic Car Restoration Challenge, and 40 dealers from all over the United States participated in this competition in 2021.

It seems that many genuine Porsche Classic parts were used by certified Porsche technicians, and Porsche classic cars were restored brilliantly.

The Porsche 356 model from 1956, the 5th generation Porsche 911, the Porsche 944, the Porsche 928, and the 1st generation Boxster celebrating the 25th anniversary of its birth this year participated in this restore challenge contest.

The finalists of the contest gathered at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to celebrate the Classic Car Restoration Challenge on this day (September 12, 2021) after the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car race.

It seems that the Porsche Sports Cart Together Fest was held from September 10th to 12th this weekend.

Previously in Japan at Fuji SpeedwayAn event called Porsche Sports Car Together DayHas been held. Nostalgic ^^

The cars of each finalist in the three regions across the United States will be voted on by the visitors who attended the event (three days), and the final review will be by Clenn, Vice President and COO of Porsche (PCNA) in the United States. It was decided by Mr. Garde, Mr. Doug House, Vice President of After-Sales, and Mr. Doug House, Technical Support Manager.

* In addition, the judging committee for the entire contest includes Porsche Classic and Porsche North American area managers and experts.

It was evaluated based on the following three:

• reliability
• Craftsmanship
• Smooth running engine (this was the most important)

The winner is the Porsche Ontario team's 1989 Porsche 911 Targa G model

The three teams (three) that remained in the final selection are as follows:

• Porsche Ontario (1989 Porsche 911 Targa G model)
• Porsche Dallas (1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Targa 964 type)
• Porsche Warrington (1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 964 type)

3 Porsche Classic Restore Challenge Finalists

1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (Type 964) by Porsche Warrington

Porsche Warrington is a Porsche dealer in Pennsylvania.

They prepared a 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 4, which had to be completely remodeled from one carpet.

The most difficult restore was the marine blue metallic paint on the car body that had been rubbed, burned, and scratched, and it was completely repaired (resprayed) to suit the times. That was one of the things that was highly evaluated.

1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Targa (Type 964) by Porsche Dallas

Porsche Dallas is a dealer in Texas, and the Porsche they prepared is also a 1990 model 964, but this is the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Targa.

The pebble leather on the roof and side mirrors seems to be as beautiful as the navy leather in the interior. The body color is dark blue.

At first, it seems that this car could hardly move, but it was restored and restored brilliantly.

1989 Porsche 911 Targa G model by Porsche Ontario

Porsche Ontario is a dealer in California and is the winning team this time.

The restored car is a 1989 Porsche 911 Targa G model with a mileage of 117,000 miles (about 188,293 km).

When the engine was taken down and restored, the Ontario team decided to upgrade the performance of this car to RS-like performance, and as a result, it seems that a wonderful thing was completed (* There is no description such as specifications etc. So I don't know how it changed ().

In addition to the finalists of these three teams, there are others

• Porsche Bend team 1966 Porsche 912
• Porsche Tucson team 1966 Porsche 911
• Porsche Monterey team 1997 Porsche 911 993 type

• Porsche Fort Myers team 1983 Porsche 911 930 type
• Porsche Barrington team 1968 Porsche 912
• Harper Porsche team 1971 Porsche 911T

Was on display.

Those who participated would have enjoyed the Porsche event, the Porsche Cup race, and this contest and much more.
