Early Air Cooled
We classify any Air Cooled 911 from before 1978 (pre 911SC) as an early 911, these vehicles have shown the results of the test of time. Maintaining these vehicles takes a specialist that knows Porsche top to bottom. The early fuel systems from mechanical fuel injection to carburetors is becoming a thing of the passed that is being a forgotten specialty. Even though our technicians have countless years of experience working on these vehicles, schedule availability is slim so give us a call today
