Canepa to Offer a 1963 Porsche 356B Outlaw With Double Its Stock Horsepower
Along with suspension, transmission, and interior upgrades.
Vintage car fans will be delighted to learn that North Californian classic car dealership Canepa is now offering a 1963 Porsche 356B outlaw equipped with a full range of upgrades.
The start of its outlaw journey began roughly 10 years ago, when the current owner introduced the car to a cosmetic restoration, stripping down everything to allow for metal finishing, bodywork, and a sleek black paint job. The next upgrade came in the form of a new 1,925cc engine from Air Power Racing, which doubled the vehicle’s stock horsepower to 130 horses. A KK Sebring stainless-steel exhaust with ceramic coating was installed for sound and flow improvements, while a four-speed transaxle from Rancho Transmissions made shifting gears an even more enjoyable experience.
Not satisfied with just greater power and a smoother transmission, the owner went on to give the remaining parts a makeover as well, tapping Willhoit Restoration for a new sport suspension that added stiffness to the car’s torsion bars, sway bar, and shocks. Complementing these changes are 5.5×16” HRBB allow wheels with wider tires, working in tandem with factory 365C disc brakes and slotted rotors. Finally, Willhout Restoration helped install an all-new full leather interior created by Autos International, bringing GT seats to the classic in a green leather finish. A custom 14” wood VDM steering wheel from Bruce Crawford was installed alongside a factory removable roll bar, as well as a short shifter kit, a 12-volt electrical system, and GT gauges.
