Zurlinden LLC
Zurlinden LLC was founded in 2015 in Monterey, CA to build custom 911s. Our skills, components, technology, and ideas are ultimately put to task, forging a car of great performance, usability, and beauty.
Founder Marc Zurlinden believes that the relationship of form and function can live harmoniously by creating restorations with designs that preserve and enhance the unique character and mystique of the car’s soul.
The company’s mantra is quality without excuses. Founded on the principals of “Design-Develop-Drive,” Zurlinden considers everything and accepts nothing but engineering excellence. They “idea it” then “make it, abuse it, improve it, then prove it.” The end product is their client’s dream car!
About the founder
Marc Zurlinden’s passion for Porsche and particularly 911 models began at eight years old when his father brought home his first 911. Marc practically lived in his father’s garage, first working on his bicycles, and later helping his father with his family cars and numerous race cars. His love for design, engineering, and fabrication started with making modifications and special parts for his bicycles, which later grew into an obsession for cars.
Since 1995, Marc has worked at Salinas-based Pro Pack as a designer and engineer of highly sophisticated packaging automation and robotic machinery. But his passion for cars continued to grow. In 2003, he bought his first 911. It was a total restoration project and it turned out beautifully.
He took on his first client project in 2005, building a 100% authentic re-creation of the 1968 Trans-Am, under 2-liter champion Porsche 911 of Tony Adamowicz. He has since built numerous, ultra-custom 911s for various clients.
In 2015, Marc had decided to bring his passion full-time to the world by opening Zurlinden LLC. His creative personalization ensures that each machine can be as sportingly focused, luxuriously flamboyant, or as simple and understated as each client desires. Every restored and modified machine will represent and reflect the unique tastes and perspectives of its owner whether targeted for regular use on the road or ultimate performance on road and track.
