| This 911 has been built by Bisi Ezerioha of Bisimoto Engineering to honor Steve McQueen and to benefit Boys Republic, an organization that helped McQueen get his life together from dealing with an abusive family.
Thought built it in 1980, the retro styling has been backdated to resemble the Porsches built from 1969-1973. It was painted in Slate Grey, McQueen's preferred color for Porsche with Fuchs-style alloy wheels.
The 3.6 liter flat-6 features a number of performance modifications, including a GT3 intake manifold and sequential fuel injection. A new custom pulse chamber exhaust system was created specifically for the car.
The rear suspension also features a new custom coilover configuration to replace the original torsion bar.
This car will be sold by Mecum Auctions in Monterey, California on August 18-20, 2016, right before the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on August 21. |

| 1980 Porsche Bisimoto 911BR
Proceeds from this sale will benefit Boys Republic, a non-profit treatment community for troubled youngsters in Chino Hills, California Boys Republic seeks to give adolescent youth with behavioral, educational, and emotional difficulties an opportunity to achieve their maximum potential for responsible, self-directed life within the community Since its founding in 1907, Boys Republic has guided more than 30,000 at-risk teenage boys and girls toward productive, fulfilling lives Custom-built Porsche 911 by Bisimoto Engineering Bisimoto combines modern automotive advances with the romanticism and beauty of classic vehicles McKenna Porsche helped facilitate this project The BR911 is built on a 1980 chassis, backdated to mimic the classic lines of a late-'60s 911 3.6/316 HP air-cooled flat-6 engine Fully sequential fuel injection system Slate Grey exterior, Black interior F1-inspired exhaust system incorporating Helmholtz pulse chambers Late model GT3 intake manifold mated to individual throttle bodies CANBUS communication protocol onboard diagnostics Bespoke rear coilover suspension Custom Fuchs inspired wheels R888 Toyo tires Power windows Tinted windows Custom retro racing seats Momo Prototipo steering wheel Rennline interior accents Polished trim and accents Bespoke 911BR badge Custom 4-point roll cage Two-owner vehicle Comprehensive maintenance records Winner of the coveted Ron Harris Chairman's award Extensively modified by Bisi Ezerioha of Bisimoto Engineering, this 1980 Porsche 911 has been back-dated to look like the previous generation 911 produced from 1969-1973. This is a car that it’s easy to imagine Steve McQueen—the “King of Cool”—commissioning as his personal Porsche 911 if he were still with us. Proceeds from the sale of this car will benefit Boys Republic, a non-profit treatment community for troubled youth. Boys Republic had a special place in the heart of McQueen. When he got into an altercation with his abusive stepfather, the young McQueen was sent off to Boys Republic. In his later years, he reflected back on his time at the Boys Republic and gave them their due credit for helping him turn his life around. This is a no expense spared bespoke Porsche inspired by the legendary pop culture icon that reflects his personality and penchant for straight line performance, cornering prowess and understated appearance. Painted in McQueen’s favorite Porsche color of Slate Gray with Fuchs-inspired alloy wheels, the classic lowered stance—with the subtle 1 ½ degree of tilt toward the front—is something that stirs the soul. The engine is a 3.6 liter unit with a late model GT3 intake manifold, fully sequential fuel injection and a custom fabricated pulse chamber exhaust system that produces 316 horsepower—a lot of power for the featherweight 2,400 pound car. The rear suspension has been updated with a custom made coilover arrangement – a transformative improvement over the original torsion bar configuration. McQueen was also a lover of all things mechanical—including aircraft and motorcycles—so the seats are of aircraft inspired design in hand formed bare aluminum. The interior also features his favorite steering wheel—the Momo Prototipo. This is a serious car for a great cause. Boys Republic seeks to give adolescent youth with behavioral, educational, and emotional difficulties an opportunity to achieve their maximum potential. Since its founding in 1907, Boys Republic has guided more than 30,000 at-risk teenage boys and girls toward a more fulfilling and productive life. |

| C'est trop beau ! Et le slate grey c'est top. Par contre, les jantes ne sont pas à mon gout. Merci pour le partage |

| Perso, je ne trouve pas ça terrible... Les finitions ne sont pas à la hauteur et le slate grey de l'époque n'a jamais été métalisé. Bref, ça fait plus tuning de zonard à moindre coût que prépa bien pensée et aboutie. Une opération de com ? _________________ La différence entre les oiseaux et les hommes politiques, c'est que de temps en temps les oiseaux s'arrêtent de voler !
