Porsche 964 Backdate — The Perfect Canvas for a Modern Classic
Why the 964 Is the Ultimate Starting Point
Among all the platforms available for a Porsche backdate, the 964 backdate stands apart. Introduced in 1989, the Porsche 964 marked the moment when classic 911 design met modern engineering. Its refined chassis, coil-spring suspension, and ABS braking system brought new confidence to the 911 series, while retaining the air-cooled flat-six heartbeat that defines Porsche’s golden era.
At Shoreline 911, we choose the 964 as the foundation for many of our bespoke Porsche builds because it offers the perfect balance of tradition and potential — a timeless shape ready to be reborn.
From Donor to Dream
The 964 backdate process begins with meticulous sourcing. Each donor is inspected down to the last weld, ensuring only the strongest and most original chassis are selected. From there, our team strips the car back to its essence.
The result is a blank canvas where vintage Porsche soul meets modern capability.
The Exterior — A Return to Purity
Through hand-shaped metalwork, subtle flare extensions, and period-correct detailing, the 964 becomes a tribute to icons like the 911 ST, RSR, and Carrera RS. Elements such as the 911 ducktail spoiler, Fuchs-style wheels, and minimalist bumpers combine to create a silhouette instantly recognizable as a Porsche 911 classic, but delivered with the precision of modern craftsmanship.
Inside the 964 Backdate — Craft in Every Detail
A bespoke Porsche build means every interior is tailored to its owner. For some, that means houndstooth inserts and a wood-rimmed steering wheel that evoke the early seventies. For others, it’s a pairing of natural leather, carbon trim, and modern tech like Porsche PCCM navigation.
The approach is always the same: every stitch, every dial, every texture chosen with purpose.
Performance You Can Feel
The 964 backdate isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s a driving experience redefined. Engines are rebuilt and tuned, from responsive naturally aspirated flat-sixes to turbocharged powerhouses that echo the legendary 930 Turbo.
With modern suspension geometry, lightweight materials, and precision chassis tuning, each Shoreline 964 is engineered for both spirited backroad driving and confident long-distance touring. It’s a car that feels alive under your fingertips — raw, immediate, and deeply rewarding.
