Audette Collection - A Walk Down Memory Lane

1967 SWB 911 Rally Build "Stubby"
Stubby has become a bit of a legend. Built following a Porsche Bulletion that provided details, specifications and guidelines on building a car for competitive events such as rallying and circuit racing.

1973 911S 2.7
This is an interesting car. It was equipped with factory installed rear fender flares marked "2.5cm Rear Fender Flares" on the Kardex, one of two only. I found it's twin in Italy but an owner had removed the fender flares thinking they were after-market.

1960 356 Super 90 Roadster
One of AC's first Porsches, it was acquired in rough but solid condition with most original parts there. AC restored it with of goal of 100% authenticity using only original parts. It was possible at that time but the process took 8 years. Maybe my favorite Porsche of all time.

1974 911 Euro Carrra
When AC acquired this car it was referred to as the "poor man's RS Carrera". My son put me on to these before they were widely recognized making it affordable. This was a truly outstanding driving car and looked great in with the Lime Green color.

1960 356 Roadster
AC has restored a number of Roadsters, kind of a specialty. This one was restored for a doctor on the East Coast. When we acquired it and took it down to metal it had one of the best tubs we had ever seen. With colors specified by the customer it turned out to be really attractive.

1972 911S Targa
It seems that many make fun of Targa's with some calling them "flexible fliers". But this is the best open road Porsche out of the many we've owned.
AC MOST POPULAR

AC Platinum LED Headlights
We were the first to pioneer LED headlights back in 2016. I will post some of the pictures of the primitive testing we did at the time. The pick of the litter for premium LED's was JW Speaker and they're still among the best. However, Daniel Stern, acknowledged worldwide as an automotive lighting expert and our Sr. Automotive Lighting Consultant, recently designated the Philips Integral Beam LED's as the best of the best, what we refer to as Best-in-Class.

AC Premium Bosch Logo H4 Headlights
There's a big demand for the original Bosch H4's and we restore a lot of them but they are getting more difficult to find. Bosch is no longer building them - the current ones sold by Porsche are built by AL (Automotive Lighting) in Czechoslovakia and the lenses are marked "AL" instead of "Bosch". Those are fine but we decided we could do a little better and get a little closer to the original Bosch's with a few significant improvements.

Best-in-Class® AC F-Series & G-Series Taillight Assemblies - Complete
Restored Originals or High Quality Reproductions?
After 25 years of restoring original parts it's become apparent that, unless you absolutely need originality, much better price performance is delivered by new Best-in-Class reproduction parts.
These new housings are a perfect example. They are all metal and the details, craftsmanship and fit are excellent. They are relatively inexpensive and 100% complete plug n' play ready to install.

The only H4 bulbs recommended by worldwide automotive lighting expert and AC Consultant Daniel Stern - and the only H4 halogen bulbs we sell.
Manufactured in Germany (one of the few H4 halogen bulbs not made in Asia), these Osram Night Breaker H4 bulbs deliver 250% more illumination than a standard 60w/55w H4 bulb. That's 190% brighter with no increase in current draw or heat generated.

LED Bulbs That Work
The new CANBUS technology has eliminated all of the problems with LED bulbs and they have become our most popular product. An simple and inexpensive way to increase your safety by increasing the brightness of your turn signals and taillights.

45% Brighter Incandescent Turn Signal & Taillight Bulb Kit
These bulbs were originally used by a Japanese auto manufacturer in their high-end cars. They evidently made the decision that they were to expensive and went back to basic bulbs.
These are 45% brighter and have nickel bases to prevent corrosion. They are the best way we know of to significantly increase the brightness of your signal light bulbs short of installing LED's. And they do retain an original look. They're expensive though. Your call (we sell a lot of them).

Introducing the AC 911 Shop Private Label Collection
We're launching a new collection with the name "AC 911 Private Label". There are many parts and services in our catalog that are of our own creation or sourcing and it seems appropriate to offer them under our own AC brand. Hopefully that implies two things, quality and value, which are our over-arching goals. We stand behind all of the products we sell but we stand just a little taller behind products with our name on them. We hope you will this to be a useful categorization.

What's On Our Workbench
190mm Cibié Bi-Iode Headlights Converted To Fit Porsches
The Cibié Bi-Iode headlights made for Porsche measured 170mm in diameter. They were produced in small numbers and are expensive. However, Cibie also made these for cars produced in France with a diameter of 190mm.
AC has devised a way to mount the 190mm lamps in standard Porsche headlight housings making it possible to achieve the same look and function of the original Porsches at a much lower cost.
