Porsche 911 Classic Club Coupe revealed as an epic 996 restoration:
This Porsche 911 Classic Club Coupe is a very special 911. It’s also unique, fitting the very definition of the word, too, for the model is a true one-of-one build.
The 911 Classic Club Coupe started out life as an unloved and uncared for 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera from Columbia, Virginia. Think of it as a donor body, because just about everything else inside this 996 generation 911 is different from when it was new. There was even a testing and validation stage to the project. Porsche made a test vehicle, and subjected it to test runs at Weissach in Germany, Nardo in Italy and Idiada in Spain. It was put through top-speed testing, wind tunnel testing and passed all of Porsche’s standards. However, after the testing was finalized, Porsche dismantled the test car to make sure the single Classic Club Coupe is well and truly the only one in existence.
