1984 Porsche 911 Goldrush
After 40,000 miles of rally abuse, Nick Londy’s 1984 Porsche 911 was due for a refresh. What began as a simple repaint turned into a full creative collaboration between Londy, designer Sera Trimble, and automotive photographer Webb Bland. The result? A stunning black-to-gold gradient that transforms the classic Carrera into rolling art.
Originally all black, the car now fades from deep gloss at the nose to a shimmering gold at the rear, a look echoed on its color-matched Fuchs wheels. Beyond the finish, subtle personal touches make the 911 even more special, like a topographic windshield banner featuring the Grand Teton and hidden references to Londy’s past.
Bland captured the car in California’s Alabama Hills, where the light and desert tones mirror its golden hue. Despite its show-stopping finish, Londy still drives it hard, keeping its rally spirit alive. "It’s my road car,” he says. "It’s not going to sit in a garage.”
The 1984 Porsche 911 "Goldrush” stands as proof that beauty and grit can coexist, a modern tribute to personal expression through classic engineering.
