Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge The entries run the gamut from the 1950s to the 2000s, from 75 to 612 horsepower, and from rear- to mid- and front-engine layout. The years and the miles have written individual histories for each car, but now a common chapter ties their journeys together: the 2022 Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge. The U.S. is home to more classic Porsche sports cars than any other market. After decades on the road, some will inevitably be in need of a little extra care. Enter the Restoration Challenge, where Porsche Classic encourages U.S. dealerships to acquire a car that is due for some expert technical attention to ensure many more years of driving pleasure. Entrants reside across the country and include multiple Porsche 356 models from as early as 1956, five generations of the 911, transaxle models like the 944 and 928, as well as modern classics such as the first-generation Boxster or Cayenne, and Carrera GT. Each vehicle is undergoing restoration in the best possible hands: Porsche-trained technicians who have a portfolio of more than 60,000 unique Porsche Classic Genuine Parts at their disposal. Eleven of the participating dealerships are designated Porsche Classic Partners who every day go above and beyond in their commitment to keeping vintage cars on the road and driving just as well as the moment they left the factory. The Restoration Challenge runs until the end of July when a panel of experts from Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA) judged the progress based on criteria that include not only Restoration - such as engine, suspension and interior – but also documentation like the Classic Technical Certificate. 2022 Challenge Winners National & Area South/Central Winner – Champion PorscheAfter 10 months of work, documentation, and sharing the vehicle’s journey with the public, the 1989 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo restored by Champion Porsche was crowned National Champion. The front to back return to original production specifications provided a winning formula for this Area South Central winner. In addition to removal of all its aftermarket additions, the Champion Porsche team returned a modified 3.4L engine back to its original 3.3L using new factory parts. Area East Winner – Porsche ExchangeThe Porsche Exchange team started their Challenge with 3 project targets. 1) Only use Porsche Genuine Parts, 2) Make the car an original, and 3) The car must have a soul! Creativity and expertise allowed the Porsche Exchange team to upgrade the engine to a factory 3.8 RS. Porsche Classic Sport shock units, factory Turbo S strut tower bar, and M033 springs allow the car to handle like a GT3 RS. In addition they added iconic 964 Turbo S wheels built by Porsche for Speedline that helped drive away as Area East winner. Area West Winner – Porsche Palm SpringsThe 1982 Porsche 911 SC of Porsche Palm Springs lived throughout the US picking multiple aftermarket parts along the way. Porsche Classic parts were brought in to replace a modified steering wheel, stereo, amplifier, strut brace, and wheels. Porsche Palm Springs conducted a ground up restoration involving removal of all mechanical components, stripping all paint, and complete interior replacement. Celebrating its 40th anniversary, this 911 SC drives like the day it was born and does it proudly as Area West winner. View 2022 Entries Participating DealersPorsche Barrington
