      Maybe u hear Frank is because there is no 4-cam but a VW... Is it real or a nice replica?

      If it were a real 550 with a real 4-cam, the displacement would be 1500cc.

    Greetings from Bel Air, CA. I just saw the video you made with Shmee so I wanted to be sure and subscribe to your beautiful car channel. ABSOLUTELY EPIC! It's almost hard to believe these cars could exist under one roof.
    Congratulations on acquiring such a magnificent taste level. I think it's wonderful that you share your cars with so many people. Thank you! 💖💓💖

    Yet more people who listen to so much automobile engines and probably spent so much time near the exhaust of beautiful beasts that they inadvertently sterilize themselves. It’s eugenics working as it should! Any video with a classic car’s a good one.

    Real 550RS Porsches were manufactured in 1954-55 and did not have the head faring. The head faring was introduced on the 550A, in 1956. Otherwise, that's a fairly accurate replica of a 550. Many years ago, one of my friends really did drive his REAL Porsche RSK Spyder, a later more exclusively race car type, up 5th Avenue in Manhattan.

    • @halnwheels
      @halnwheels 2 роки тому +1

      I'm glad I got to ride in a red 356A back in the mid '70s. I had a Karmann Ghia at the time. We were on a parkway and another car was getting frisky with us. As we accelerated I kept wanting to shift where I would shift my Ghia, but he just wound that thing out right into the next gear's powerband and we just kept going and left him behind. I don't think I'll get that experience again. Cars were much more "real" then.
