The years and the miles have written individual histories for each car, but now a common chapter ties their journeys together: the 2023 Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge. The U.S. is home to more classic Porsche sports cars than any other market. After decades on the road, some will inevitably be in need of a little extra care. Enter the Restoration Challenge, where Porsche Classic encourages U.S. dealerships to acquire a car that is due for some expert technical attention to ensure many more years of driving pleasure. Entrants reside across the country and include multiple Porsche 356 models from as early as 1956, five generations of the 911, transaxle models like the 944 and 928, as well as modern classics such as the first-generation Boxster or Cayenne, and Carrera GT. Each vehicle is undergoing restoration in the best possible hands: Porsche-trained technicians who have a portfolio of more than 60,000 unique Porsche Classic Genuine Parts at their disposal. Eleven of the participating dealerships are designated Porsche Classic Partners who every day go above and beyond in their commitment to keeping vintage cars on the road and driving just as well as the moment they left the factory. The Restoration Challenge runs until the end of July when a panel of experts from Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA) judged the progress based on criteria that include not only Restoration - such as engine, suspension and interior – but also documentation like the Classic Technical Certificate. Join Porsche North Olmsted and Cars & Coffee Cleveland at the Porsche North Olmsted campus on April 14th for an evening kickoff event and car show where the Porsche North Olmsted team will unveil their contender for the 2023 challenge, a Porsche 911 Targa 4. To make the unveiling extra special and get our greater Cleveland area car community involved, the event will be paired with a car show open to all makes and models. Space is limited so please RSVP. Vehicles in attendance will be entered into a variety of contests where they have a chance to win Porsche Restoration Challenge Swag and other items. Porsche owners will have their chance at a very special prize. Contests and wining prizes will be listed below. Of course, it would not be a kickoff event without music, and Smokin' Rock N' Roll food truck will be onsite with food and beverages available. So come on out and enjoy what is the first official car event of the 2023 season here in Northeast Ohio!
