The work of art that you see below is owned by Mick Cote. You are looking at a 1983 “greymarket” 930 slant nose Porsche. Unlike most Porsche owners who acquire this elite German car manufacture for mere status, Mick drives and owns the car the way it was intended. This car is literally a daily driven race car. Full cage? Check. 3.3ltre turbo? Check. Professionally tuned? Check. There’s over $5k in the suspension alone….Oh and prior to the shoot, he just took his “slicks” off in the event he was caught out in the rain with them. Did I mention the wide body was fabricated by Mick himself, from start to finish… I had to take two shots of the rear from different angles so you could get an idea of how this car sits. The lines in this car are flawless and more importantly, functional. All you “stance” fan boys can drool over this. Except Mick won’t be “hard parking” at any car meets…from left to right shows the rear and front stance.I feel like Mick’s Porsche dates back to an era when they still made sports cars that had character. This car pre-dates any driver assists and before sports cars all started looking the same from afar. It was truly an honor to shoot such a raw, yet refined car of this caliber. Expect to see more of Mick’s ’83 Slantnose on our site in the future.
