The backdating of Porsche 911 models has been booming in recent years. One supplier is dp Motorsport from Overath near Cologne in Germany. In earlier decades, this company concentrated mainly on the construction and servicing of racing cars. After the change of the company management from founder Ekkehard Zimmermann to his son Patrick, the main focus is more on the creation of the most drivable 911s possible according to customer requirements. The range of services offered extends from the installation of a sports suspension to complete conversions such as the Silver Surfer, which we would like to introduce in more detail here.

A Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 built in 1985 served as the basis, making this vehicle part of the so-called G-series with the controversially discussed bumpers, which were introduced in 1974 to comply with the stricter US crash regulations. Many Porsche fans still don’t like this look much compared to the original design, which is why the trend towards ‘backdating’ and ‘restomodding’ is a little more understandable. After all, companies like Singer, Kaege or even dp Motorsport understand their craft well enough to convert a late car to the look of the original models. For the customer of the Silver Surfer the focus was on a sports car inspired by the 911 S\/T. With fender extensions and without the rear spoiler, which was only introduced from the RS and RSR models onwards, this car is visually quite authentic. New parts are the front bumper, the indicator side light elements, the front fenders, the front hood (matching the lock holder of the G-model), open side sills without underbody protection, the rear bumper with short horns as well as chrome on the rear-view mirrors, side window surrounds, door handles and other details. For the finished body, the customer chose a ‘GT Silver metallic’ paint finish with two foiled, matt black racing stripes. Rear and side windows are made of plexiglass.<\/p>\n\n\n
