‘Marlboro Red’ 911 Made to Confuse Purists

1976 Porsche 911

From our friends at Rennlist is a custom ’76 Porsche 911 backed by a Chevy V8, tons of attitude.

As our Team Speed Marketplace currently hosts only our wonderful vendors, we sometimes need to look outside of our box to find what awesome cars are being sold to share with you.

We didn’t have to go far for this one, though. Our friends at Rennlist recently happened upon a 1976 Porsche 911 up for sale in their own marketplace that’ll confuse both Porsche purists and Chevrolet parts counters alike.

This particular 911 no longer has its original flat-six moving the rear BBS wheels. Instead, it has a Chevrolet V8 hidden under the “Marlboro red” whale tail.

The custom 911 received its Chevy V8 and other modifications from Renegade Hybrids of Las Vegas. The result is a 380-horsepower monster anchored to the Porsche’s five-speed manual, and a body with exterior bits from the 964 911.

Cameron Aubernon's path to automotive journalism began in the early New '10s. Back then, a friend of hers thought she was an independent fashion blogger.

Aubernon wasn't, so she became one, covering fashion in her own way for the next few years.

From there, she's written for: Louisville.com/Louisville Magazine, Insider Louisville, The Voice-Tribune/The Voice, TOPS Louisville, Jeffersontown Magazine, Dispatches Europe, The Truth About Cars, Automotive News, Yahoo Autos, RideApart, Hagerty, and Street Trucks.

Aubernon also served as the editor-in-chief of a short-lived online society publication in Louisville, Kentucky, interned at the city's NPR affiliate, WFPL-FM, and was the de facto publicist-in-residence for a communal art space near the University of Louisville.

Aubernon is a member of the International Motor Press Association, and the Washington Automotive Press Association.
