1973 ASVE Porsche 917 tribute features custom aluminum V-8, detailed build documentation, and exceptional craftsmanship, now available in Florida.
A strikingly detailed tribute to the legendary Porsche 917 race car, meticulously built as a custom-assembled vehicle, has emerged in Florida, drawing attention for its authentic design, powerful aluminum V8 engine, and remarkable build quality.
Officially titled as a 1973 ASVE (Assembled Vehicle), this Porsche 917-inspired tribute captures the iconic look and racing spirit of the original prototype endurance racer made famous at Le Mans. Finished in an eye-catching red and white color scheme, it features classic gullwing doors, period-correct covered stacked headlights, and a windshield crafted by Pilkington Glass of England.
Powering this unique sports car is an all-aluminum, 315 cubic-inch V-8 engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission, operated through an EMPI performance shifter. The drivetrain has been extensively upgraded, including custom half-shafts engineered by Taylor Race Engineering, ensuring reliability and spirited performance.
Inside, occupants sit in black bucket seats facing a hand-crafted aluminum dashboard fitted with a full array of AutoMeter gauges. The interior is further enhanced by a leather-wrapped steering wheel, remote battery shut-off, and racing-inspired details that elevate the driving experience.
The undercarriage of this vehicle is as meticulously detailed as the exterior, highlighting the craftsmanship and attention invested during its assembly. Performance enhancements include four-wheel disc brakes and Cooper Cobra radial tires mounted on rare alloy rims sourced from Compomotive Motorsport in England.
This Porsche 917 tribute is accompanied by two extensive build documentation books, which include comprehensive photographic records and detailed specifications outlining components, measurements, design drawings, wiring diagrams, and more.
With its impressive build quality, carefully chosen components, and undeniable presence, this tribute car offers a rare opportunity for enthusiasts who appreciate the legendary Porsche 917’s racing heritage but prefer a unique vehicle with everyday drivability and reliability.
