1964 PORSCHE 356 EMORY SPECIAL

ENGINE: 2.3-liter Emory-Rothsport Outlaw-4  
TOP SPEED: N/A
HORSEPOWER: 220

Rod Emory created this unique car for Porsche’s 50th-anniversary celebration in Monterey, California, in 1998. He started with the shell of a 1964 356C Cabriolet and performed extensive modifications, including using an appended tubular space frame to give the car a vintage 550 look. In addition, the vehicle features the specially developed Emory-Rothsport Outlaw-4 engine, based on the Porsche 964 powerplant and making use of a shortened camshaft housing. Emory “Specials” like this example feature distinctive body modifications, whereas Emory “Outlaws” maintain a near-stock appearance.
