> A spectacular action for all lovers of classic Porsche vehicles: Porsche Classic is restoring a 1973 US version 911 T Coupé on behalf of the Porsche Club of America (PCA) under the motto “Revive the Passion”. The finished gem will be raffled off among PCA members and is to be publicly presented to the winner at the Porsche Parade in the USA in August 2011. Just this once, Porsche enthusiasts with a soft spot for oldtimers and youngtimers will be able to look over the shoulders of the Porsche Classic workshop specialists while they are working. During the next 12 months, this page will contain regular reports about the status of the restoration - in text, pictures and videos.

> Porsche's factory restoration unit bought a gutted 1973 911 T Coupe off eBay, with plans to rebuild the vehicle over the next year. How obsessively precise could they be? They're employing the factory workers who assembled it 37 years ago.
