A View from Rennsport Reunion V

When Porsche announced that they'd be making their fifth Rennsport Reunion this year at Laguna Seca, it was difficult to contain our excitement. Just a few hours drive away from our Reno, NV office...

644-505-041-10 356 GT Bumper Strip

356 GT Bumper Deco

In the place of a traditional slotted aluminum decorative strip and rubber insert, the 356GT used a flat aluminum extrusion that was formed and polished to give a little bit of attractive, yet lightweight protection to the bumpers. We have these strips in stock ready to be shaped to your bumpers. We've even seen them put to good use on a very tastefully modified 912—they really look good on any classic Porsche.

Save on our 911 or 912 Engine Grilles

No matter how nice your body and paintwork is, a crooked and bent engine lid grille really makes a 911 or 912 look bad. You can save some serious cash over the expensivactory replacements with our excellent affordable engine grilles-they are virtually indistinguishable from the original pieces.

Factory Door Hinge Pin Pullers

It sounds easy—just pop the hinge pins and you can take the doors off a 911 or 912 in a jiffy! The reality is that getting a tool in there to apply enough leverage or force is quite tricky. Porsche makes a specialized tool and slidehammer that really get it done with ease. The hinge pin adapter and slidehammer extractor are sold separately.

Clutch Fork for 356

   Metal fatigue and wear will eventually take a toll on potentially any part of your 356. Clutch forks are one out-of-the-way piece that is subject to tremendous forces.
    We reworked our clutch fork kit for the 356A 644 transmission. It's a heavy duty version that will work for street or track use and includes the four roll pins you'll need for installation. It can handle anything from the basic clutch pressure plate through the high-tech stuff that our vintage racing friends have.

For Sale: Sleeper 356C at Willhoit

This beautiful 356C Coupe has been fully restored to it's original Kardex matching color combination of Slate Grey with Red interior. It comes complete with original bill of sale, tool kit, travel kit, and all documentation.

After the restoration, the owner brought the car to Willhoit for installation of their potent 2132cc engine, sport suspension and short shift kit. It also has been upgraded to a dual circuit braking system for safety.

Euro or US-spec Rear Bumper Guards

We have both US-spec and Euro-spec right and left rear bumper guards for the 1974-1989 911 and 912E in stock. The Euro-spec ones are quite a bit cheaper and offer a slimmer look for the tail of a short-hood 911. They're even a little lighter if you're counting your calories...
