1985 Porsche 911

Description1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe – Custom Backdate by Sportscars Holland - This European-market (RoW) 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe underwent a full custom backdate restoration by Sportscars Holland, transforming it into a striking long-hood 911 finished in Aquamarine Blue. Completed in Europe approximately two years ago and driven only about 5,000 kilometers since, this build combines classic design cues with performance-focused details. It is now being offered by Euro Prestige Imports in North Carolina. The exterior showcases a long-hood conversion with a custom vented front bumper and RS-style rear bumper, complemented by chrome window trim, black Porsche side stripes, dual chrome mirrors, and drilled door handles. Additional details include rear quarter polycarbonate windows with louvers (without holes), 911R-style rear window bars, rubber hood and decklid straps, front and rear tow hooks, a center-mounted hood fuel filler, and dual center-mounted exhaust outlets. The car sits on 15” Maxilite Fuchs-style wheels wrapped in Toyo Proxes R888R tires (2019 date codes) sized 195/55 front and 235/50 rear. Inside, the cabin features a black RS-style interior complete with fixed-back bucket seats, lightweight RS-style carpets and door panels, a three-spoke MOMO Prototipo steering wheel, half roll cage, and a custom orange tachometer. Comfort amenities include power windows, a sunroof, and a heater. Power is provided by a European-spec 3.2-liter flat-six engine, factory-rated at 231 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed 915 manual transaxle. Both the engine and gearbox were overhauled and revised during the restoration, ensuring a mechanically sound and engaging driving experience consistent with the car’s purposeful appearance. How this car finished in the US; Our client and partner has collaborated with this particular shop in the Netherlands on several custom backdated 911 builds. The builder’s production capacity is limited to just two cars per year, and to date, he has completed six builds with our client. This specific car was introduced to our partner as a completed project for a customer in Milan, finished near the end of the Covid period. The original owner, who commissioned the build, decided to sell the car due to family circumstances. Rather than wait six to nine months for a new build, our partner chose to purchase this one directly. This example is a narrow-body backdate without a ducktail, so it’s not a 2.7 RS clone, nor is it an ST-style car. It presents very clean overall, with only a few minor drips and a slight waviness in the hood. The hood was produced in fiberglass during the Covid parts shortage, and while the builder recommended allowing it to cure longer before paint, the original owner requested that it be painted immediately with plans to repaint once fully cured. A full description of the origins with maintenance records will be available upon request. For immediate assistance Call or Text Cyrus Klaesi at +702.286.3248. Attention!
