      For real. Waaaaaayyy to short of a video... Its like a teaser trailer! I want to hear this guy for hours... God, I love Porsche and I'll probably never have one. 💥😢🔫

      Charles Damery Hey Charles, I got bitten by the Porsche bug nearly 3 years ago ( actually even as a kid with the wall posters & all that ) anyway I got my first Porsche & haven't looked back, it's a Sunday car for me but she's a beast, 1983 SC convertible ( guards red ) air cooled, flat six, no power steering, no ABS, no airbags, incredible exhaust note, anyone out who has dreams about owning one, you just have to do it, trust me you won't regret it.....

    Many years ago when I was a teen maybe 12 or 13 I went to visit my uncle in California. He has a 1970's era, light blue metalflake, 911 SC Targa. I got to ride in it for a short trip and I was totally smitten and in love, and have been ever since. My memories of this car are very vivid and like it was yesterday. Its something I will never forget as long as I live. The glorious sound, and the sensation of speed, are absolutely intoxicating. I've owned a 76' 914/4 which comes close but still isn't quite as satisfying as a real air cooled 911.

    The most amazing thing to me is the fact that the original paint is still intact and looks that good. I would love to see some close-up images of it but from the video it looks really nice. They have all of the resources to make it perfect but felt that it was too important to have the original paint than a respray of the highest level. Original paint is precious and that was fully recognized.

    • @thorandmoljnir
      @thorandmoljnir Рік тому

      911's have gotten so expensive that they're out of my price range. I am, however, looking to pick up a first gen (986) Boxster. As someone who's owned and driven both I'd love to here your opinion and comparison of the two.

    very nice story, I love how people put older cars on their feet to see the road again. Same happened to me back in 2000-2001 when i saw 996 turbo sitting at Auto show, my jaw dropped, I was still in school- Smiling and checking the car out, thinking I will never own one, only in dreams, BUT it did happen, after hard work and years of saving I finally bought one--- I'm sure this is the car-that i will never let it go.... I'm coming from bmw's and audi's - I also prefer German cars :)

    PERFECT! Absolutely perfect! I'll take mine in the same color please with all accompanying modifications in tact thank you very much! Incredible builder and restorer. Love when someone takes any Porsche and makes it better than Porsche themselves did but leaves it looking pretty much stock. If I had a Porsche hot rod, i'd want it to look stock on the outside, and be a hell raiser when you stepped on that accelerator......the ultimate "Sleeper" Porsche.
