GB Instruments exclusive distributor for "Smiths" gauges(http://www.gbinstruments.com ), NS Sirus Vehicle Lighting (www.ns-sirius.com ), Vision Graphics ( http://www.visiongraphic.com/tcs2.htm ) and English Custom Polishing ( www.englishcustompolishing.com ) are the latest companies signed onto our list of sponsors. Will your company be next? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- West Coast Vintage.Com announces the construction of its new show car "The Porsche Project". This will be a very unique car. It is the fusion of European styling with American brute power! The project combines a 1967 Porsche 912 with a 383 cubic inch small block Chevrolet V8 engine producing 450+ horsepower. The Porsche Project will also offer a great platform for showcasing various products because it will appeal to both import and domestic car fans alike. Construction started at the "Renegade Hybrids" facility in Las Vegas on March 9th 2001 and the conversion is scheduled for completion in late April 2001. The next phase will include paint and interior work and The Porsche Project will be ready to meet the summer car show season. The Porsche Project currently features all of the latest technology from Renegade Hybrids, The Engine Factory, and Edelbrock. From Renegade it has the full conversion kit; custom Kevlar tm clutch and pressure plate; all aluminum radiator with twin electric cooling fans; custom all aluminum 23 gallon gas tank; custom coated headers; the heavy duty "Renegade" Porsche 915 5 speed transmission; custom air conditioning / heating system and aluminum belt-driven water pump. The Engine Factory is providing the 383 cubic inch "Street Stroker" Chevrolet small block power plant. It features forged crank and pistons, HEI ignition, a complete Edelbrock RPMtm top end with aluminum 2.02 heads, aluminum intake and Performer 750-cfm carburetor. We are still assembling the remaining components for the project and we are looking for sponsorship in the way of parts and accessories. This is a unique opportunity for specialty companies like yours to showcase its products. This car will go to most of the major shows, races that provide show car areas, and will be available to attend shows requested by its sponsors (subject to prior commitments, of course). There will also be professional photo cards with the car, specs, and sponsors. The conversion process, links to sponsors and a show schedule will also be posted on the project's website at http://www.westcoastvintage.com/porsche.html This is where you come in. The following areas are still available for sponsorship. Interior - most components, including seats, leather upholstery, audio equipment, electronics, and any other interior accessories. Exterior - paint (we are seeking a unique pearl silver with purple/lavender undertones), wheels, tires, mufflers & exhaust tips (to be custom designed to work with the "Renegade" headers, and to include a crossover or Y-type pipe), brakes, and suspension components. All items must fit the high-tech luxury sport image of the project. Please submit a sponsorship proposal for any of the above items. If you have a product that was not mentioned here that would benefit the project, please include it as well. Magazines, Newspapers, News Letters or Club Publications wanting more information are encouraged to contact us through any of the means listed below. All Race Magazine (http://www.allracemagazine.com/) will be running a multi part article on the build with a road test at the conclusion. Show sponsorships are also available if you are a distributor who carries parts featured on The Porsche Project. We can be reached at (323) 957-9648 9am-9pm PST. Or by e-mail at Porsche@westcoastvintage.com. We look forward to building a unique project car with a powerful presence that will be a true benefit to our company and our sponsors.
