Porsche 911 Backdate — Reimagining the Past for the Roads of Today
Turning Back the Clock, Without Losing a Second
A Porsche 911 backdate is more than a style choice — it’s an act of preservation and reinvention. At Shoreline 911, we transform later-generation 911s, such as the 964 or 993, into bespoke tributes to Porsche’s golden era. These builds carry the soul of the early 911 STs, RSRs, and Targas, while delivering the reliability, performance, and comfort of a modern sports car.
Every line, curve, and mechanical choice is deliberate — a bridge between nostalgia and innovation.
The Base — 964 and 993 Backdate Platforms
Our 964 backdate and 993 backdate builds begin with carefully sourced donor cars. The 964’s perfect mix of analogue feel and adaptable engineering makes it a favourite for lightweight, motorsport-inspired projects, while the 993’s refinement and multi-link suspension offer a smoother, more composed ride for grand touring builds.
Why the Air-Cooled Era Matters
We work exclusively with air-cooled Porsche models because they deliver something no modern turbocharged flat-six can: a mechanical honesty, a rawness in throttle response, and a soundtrack that connects driver to machine in every gear.
Crafting the Exterior — Timeless Shapes, Modern Precision
From the moment the chassis enters our workshop, it’s stripped, assessed, and meticulously rebuilt. Hand-shaped steel panels, flared arches, and custom bumpers recreate the proportions of the early 911 series, while subtle modern touches — LED lighting, lightweight composites, upgraded sealing — ensure every restomod Porsche is as usable as it is beautiful.
Our paint process is multi-layered and deep enough to reflect your vision: classic Gulf Blue, rich Irish Green, or a colour mixed exclusively for you.
The Cabin — Old-World Craft Meets Modern Luxury
Inside, the bespoke Porsche build philosophy comes alive. Period-correct details like houndstooth inserts, wood-rimmed steering wheels, and retro gauges blend seamlessly with technology upgrades like Porsche PCCM navigation, modern air conditioning, and discreet audio enhancements. Every stitch, panel, and switch is considered.
Performance Beyond Memory Lane
A backdate isn’t just about looks — it’s about driving. From naturally aspirated flat-six builds tuned for agility to high-boost 911 Turbo configurations, our Porsche engineering team ensures your car feels alive on winding coastal roads and composed on high-speed straights. Upgraded brakes, tuned suspension, and precision chassis setups make each drive as rewarding as the first.
