Elevating the Air-Cooled 911: How Shoreline’s “Dynamics & Precision” Builds Reimagine Heritage

Written By thomas fitzgerald

At Shoreline911, we share a belief found at the core of the best reimagined Porsche builders: a 911 backdate isn’t just a restoration — it’s a transformation. Our own “Dynamics & Precision” philosophy honors that ethos. Based on the revered 964 and 993 platforms, we build air-cooled icons that merge precision engineering, timeless design, and visceral emotion.

From Donor Car to Masterpiece

We begin with a 964 or 993 donor chassis, stripping the car to its foundation. From there, every system — suspension, drivetrain, braking, and bodywork — is rebuilt, refined, and optimized with lightweight materials and modern technology.

  • Redesigned suspension geometry

  • Composite body panels

  • Integrated aero for downforce and cooling

These builds aren’t just lighter — they’re more alive. Every adjustment makes the car sharper, leaner, and more responsive to your touch.

Engine Crafting: Power with Precision

Our powertrains are engineered for clarity and character. Clients can select from:

  • 3.6L naturally aspirated flat-six — 330 BHP

  • 3.8L displacement with added torque — 340 BHP

  • 3.6L supercharged configuration — up to 410 BHP

Every engine includes sports camshafts, individual throttle bodies, upgraded ECU tuning, and matched gearing. These cars rev with urgency and pull with authority — but always feel mechanical, grounded, and analog.

Chassis Mastery and Control

Performance without control is incomplete. We integrate TracTive semi-active suspension, paired with advanced braking systems and lightweight components to create a confident, planted feel on any road. Each build is tuned for both backroads and long-distance touring — the balance of engagement and comfort is yours to define.

The Art of Subtlety

A Shoreline build is designed to draw you in — not shout at you. Every visual detail is chosen with restraint and purpose:

  • Vintage ducktail or subtle racing-inspired spoilers

  • Long-hood styling with wide arches

  • Chrome or satin-black trim options

  • Hella LED lighting integrated into classic housings

From every angle, the result is balanced and timeless.

Interior: Where Form Meets Function

Inside, we blend simplicity and craftsmanship. Every interior is stripped to the tub and rebuilt to client spec. Some lean minimal and track-focused; others reflect refined luxury. We use:

  • Body-colored tubs and finishes

  • Heritage gauges and custom dials

  • Integrated Porsche PCCM for Bluetooth, navigation, and CarPlay

It’s a cabin that reflects your style and amplifies the driving connection — no screens, no clutter, no distractions.

A Drive Like No Other

Each Shoreline build is one-of-one. There are no templates, no mass production — just a team of craftspeople and engineers building a Porsche tailored entirely to your vision. Whether it’s inspired by the 911 ST, a wide-body 930 Turbo, or a minimalist long-hood outlaw, your car is shaped with equal parts performance and emotion.

This isn’t just about speed or spec sheets. It’s about connection — between car, driver, and road.
