CMC Porsche 959 Speedster
p0rschenut69
One more picture of my Porsche powered 959 Speedster re-creation in Martini graphics! The body kit was marketed and sold by Classic Motor Carriges CMC and then Thunder Ranch. This is an early CMC 359 kit that incorporated a professional Jig built tubular frame front to rear. It was based on the original 959/911 wheelbase. Is one of two that were originally built with Porsche 911 six cylinder engines. It now has a Porsche Type 4 engine installed. CMC called it the 359 to avert potential law suits from Porsche. At the time, 1988, the original 959 super cars were blacklisted from entering the US. CMC saw this as an opportunity to combine 959 Styling with their Speester replica know how and basically use the mid section of their old Speedster. Every body mold except the dash and doors was completely different to accommodate the longer wheel base and 959 body design. Like the real 959 the engine compartment was greatly enlarged to offer proper cooling and much larger more powerful engines.This was the most expensive car in the CMC line-up and the fiberglass was made thicker/stronger and was smoother from the new molds. Like the original 959 many people did not like the styling and the kits never sold well also because they were expensive to do right with large engines costing more also. Myself, I always liked the styling of the original 959 and loved the 959 Speedster that was shown in the car magazines of that time (1988) so I built this one!

Porsche 959 Speedster re-creation
p0rschenut69
Lovely, fall time driving in the country! Here I am out driving my 959 in Martini Porsche colours! It is powered by a stroked Porsche Type 4 engine with a displacement of 2.2 litres and twin Weber Carbs and was another three year project to do it right! I built it with lots of help from Canadian Tire and in my garage.

Porsche Fuch 4.5” valve hole
clymoj
Showing the valve hole on a 4.5” Fuch wheel. I think these were fitted to 1967 cars? There is some discussion about whether they would have had tubes originally but I want to run tubeless valve stems
