Emerging in the 2010s, the Porsche-based backdating and restomod trends were spotlighted by personalities such as Magnus Walker or Rob Dickinson and his company, Singer Vehicle Design. The process is simple, keep the unmistakable style of a classic 911, combined with a modern mechanical assembly and running gear. There are two schools of thought, one uses a more recent base, notably a Type 964, and equips it with the cosmetic features of an older model, such as a 2.7 RS. The other prefers to use an older base, to which a more recent mechanical assembly and running gear are fitted.

Yet this is not such a recent trend. Indeed, this Porsche 911 T was built in 1970, before being purchased in 1980 by Joe Salvador in California. It was in 1987 that the 911 T received a Porsche 930 3.3 Turbo engine. The car was then maintained by T&D Porsche Works in Campbell, California, who over the years made the car more reliable and improved it at the request of Mr Salvador. We have various invoices from this time, including the report of a road test, stating that the car had done 10 to 100 mph (16 to 160 km/h) in 10.96 seconds. Joe Salvador kept his 911 for many more years, always having it maintained by the same company, before entrusting it, in 2008, to Mobile Works West, a well-reputed Porsche specialist, to be revitalised. Joe Salvador gave up his 911 in 2011 to Matthew Landau, still in California. It then arrived in Europe in 2014. Started from a solid and rust-free car, the car costed no less than $200.000 to build.
The exterior looks today like a Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera RS, whose specific sheet steel wings and famous ducktail inspired it. Its paintwork is Petrol Blau, coupled with gold Carrera stripes. The passenger compartment is beige leather with RS-type perforated seats, lightweight door panels and side windows which still have their original handles, but are now electric. Lastly, the short shifter uses the 917 design. As for the engine, it is a Type 930 3.3 Turbo, fully overhauled and upgraded in 2012 with a made-to-measure intercooler, SC camshafts, Carrillo connecting rods, higher performance injectors, a new engine control unit, etc. The oil is cooled by a radiator installed in the front wing; turbo pressure is controlled by a rotary knob on the centre console and is shown on the dashboard on a 934/935 dial. Lastly, the 911 has a Tial wastegate and a blow-off valve. The 915 gearbox was also fully restored and the mechanical assembly is said to produce 375 hp. The running gear is fitted with 930 brakes, the front suspension comes from a Turbo 3.3, the rear trailing arms are made of aluminium, all on four Fuchs by Harvey Weidman wheel rims with Toyo R888 tyres. All this for 1,039 kg, which guarantees a particularly high-performance car!
