No offense Adam, I'm way more psyched to see the old Porsches than the new ones (even though the new ones are comfy, and fast, and awesome in their own ways). So psyched to see what happens with this!
I bought a 911 20 years ago , i owned it for 4 days and sold it . I'd already owned a few 928's , so i was spoilt by 928's with its 50/50 weight and a V8 . I still have a 928SE from back then . Its a 5 speed dog leg manual and Porsche only made 42 of them . Exceptional cars , much better than that Beetle Sport 🤣
Welcome to the CT 964 community! I can get you the workshop manuals and wiring diagrams, and if you want to drive it down to Fairfield County when you get it back I have the diagnostic tool and we can go through the car together. Don't worry -- you can do everything on this car yourself (I have one totally disassembled in my garage).
As a fellow 964 owner congrats on the car! Looks to be in great shape. 964’s are like Legos so you’ll be fine when it comes to working on it. A lot of parts can be found at Porsche Dealers or Pelican Parts and other sites. Now we just need to work on your pronunciation of Porsche 😉
@@mrfinch6664 I've had the luxury of speaking with the actual porsche family at a porsche parade a few years back. They infact say it kinda weird to how I've heard it. Their name they say with it sounding more like poshe. With the e kinda fading off the end and am out of breath sound at the beginning. Idk been years since I heard them say it but I did find it interesting. The more correct way of saying it would be with the e not just porsch.
Badass car, definitely looks like a sunburst kit, wheels are actually SSR Professors. Highly doubt the cars been tracked with stock brakes and a open diff.
I'm a very long time subscriber and I build and maintain air cooled porsches. I have my own little shop mainly working on them. The best thing you can do with that car is just make it your own and be yourself in it. You'd be surprised as I have been on how cool a lot of air cooled owners actually can be. Lowering the car and putting a 911 specific alignment in it will absolutely transform it!
The rotated Tach is usually due to the driver wanting the shift point rpm to be vertical and an easy visual cue. Congrats Jim, Air cooled 964 is one of my dream cars. the sound the doors make when you close them is a work of art.
Yeah, that's what Jimmy was getting at when he said the "race car guys do that because they're living at the high RPMs". He already knew that the reason they were doing it was because it's easier to see when you're always near the limiter.
Congratulations on the awesome car. If it’s from Japan and looks similar to an RWB, it’s probably a Sunburst Body Kit. They are lesser known than RWB, however also build wide bodied air-cooled Porsches. You have an amazing base to build one of your best cars yet!
Congrats on being a 964 owner! We've got a few within the family! I am pretty damn sure the arches are Sunburst, the front lip is definitely from a GT2 and the side skirts could also be made to look like a GT2. There was a few custom bits from the racing days that teams would use with their body kits, could just be some really old OEM skirts modified to fit flush! I love them and cant wait to see what route you take the car down! Edit: Also, you'll soon come to realise porsche tombstone seats are one of the comfiest seats ever created haha! Plus, as its like a VW Beetle its a dream to work on the engines!
From catching you wrenching on the Red Z in the garage in Connecticut, to see you opening a shed in Ireland with your own Porche inside, thats a long and deserved journey Jimbo. Congrats to you and your crew along the way.
Hell yeah! A real mans Porsche, the kind that will kill your ass if you disrespect her, but will give you the unfiltered raw experience of a bad ass '90 racecar. The sound of the aircooled flat 6 is second to none. Congrats, this is an actual drivers car. Love it!
Saw pictures of it before you came over and instantly fell in love with it. I think it's better its not showroom condition so you can drive it hard and enjoy it
I might not be able to afford cars like this. But seeing the smile is gives to Jimmy is equally as good to me! Congratulations on an absolutely beautiful car! I will continue to live on my car buying passion through everyone else
Couldn't have asked for a more bad ass car to tackle, this is such a smart and substantial change of scenery for you, cannot wait to follow this build too.
Wow. A 964. What an absolute Beautiful car. I’m so stoked to see what secrets you find. I’ve always been in love with the look of these. Your so lucky to have one. Congratulations
Seeing you look at it and smile shows all of us how true of an automotive enthusiast u are. You have come a long way jimmy so you truly deserve this. The b rolls gave me chills. Felt like i bought the damn car. Once again jimmy congrats.
congrats jimmy this is the literal dream car of mine has been for ever as much as i love my s2k and jdm cars theres something about these old porches that makes my blood pump
Congrats James, this is literally a holy grail for many car enthusiasts no matter which brand we likes, everyone loves a Porsche 911, specially the older one and air cooled is a good investment for sure. We all know the “good one” unmolested are unobtainable so enjoy yours & don’t be to harsh this is not a shitbox lol Well derseved!
So stoked for this! Huge departure from S-chassis, but one of my favorite parts of this channel is watching Jim and the boys learn new things and document them. Especially now that forums are pretty much dead, having this sort of documentation is so valuable.
Porsche guy here, fellow 911 owner (991.1) but started off with Hondas like many other Porsche guys ( fun fact ) never seen your channel but I’m excited by seeing you excited! So you gained 1 new subscriber! Can’t wait to see what you do to this. Just no K series lol congrats on a clean car!
I don't even know who you are anymore!! Congrats brother. Wow. Just all the wow. Forever expanding your universe with awesome people and things. Don't lift
Jimmy living out his Wangang Midnight dreams!!! Congrats on the 964! 997.2 is my personal favourite gen of the 911. Nice to see you bring some German loving to the channel other than the Beemers and VWs!
bro im binging on your videos ive missed and ive got upto this and damn bro the way you smiling and how happy you are makes me so happy and proud that you dont give up.
I legit have happy tears for you bro that’s absolutely amazing and such a huge milestone 🎉🎉 amazing job brother, the only way to go is up ⬆️ keep up the amazing work boys
Jimmy allow me say there has always been something about you and Adam LZ. It hits different with both you guys Karma , the love for people, love for wrenching, traveling ( Dubai). etc. Everything you’ve acquired you earned it not to mention your intelligent as hell. So continue to prosper we all be watching with amazement and joy. Your crew knows you’re just a righteous dude Jimmy O🫡🤜🏽👌😤
Congrats on a purchase! 964's aren't my cup of tea necessarily, I prefer g-body and 993 over 964, but any air-cooled 911 is awesome! Regarding that kit, it looks very similar to a GT2 kit that 993 came with, as if someone actually adapted it to the 964. Also, those aren't Work Meister s1's, these are SSR Professor SP1's. Very similar design but faces go over the lips, rather than inside the barrel like Meisters.
So good! So much fun to come! I did not see this coming, did not pin you as a porche guy. None the less great purchase. Ive been interested in them ever since Adam got his GT3. Oh I want one. So good my man! So good!
My bus used to drive by one of these parked at an attorney's office near my school and I would always day dream. Congrats on obtaining my literal dream car- it's fucking perfect
jimmmy's dreams coming true makes me feel like my dreams are coming true ,congrats and many more to come..................big up Oakes garage from the Caribbean
Love that you have branched out. That is a awesome porche. Nice to see a older one. All of the other ppl doing porche content have newer ones so it's sick to see an older air cooled one. Keep up the good work mate.
Man's getting all them legendary cars. Got an Rx7 FC/FD, Porsche 911 964, bunch of S15's, S13's, Ae86 and more. LZ now needs to get one to complete the set. Already has R34, R32, Supra and if the giveaway NSX isn't gone yet, use that as well then do a photo shoot
Beyond stoked. IMHO don't touch it until you take it to a frame shop with Brian. Then you guys should restore it as much as possible. Slow burn but it will turn out to be that much more of a car. I love a rwb style Porsche. I someday will own one I home. Definitely a bucket list car. You guys do your thing and be patient. Restore it as much as you can. You have a few body guys. Reach out to industry garage as well. Love it man congrats!
Jimmy I'm so happy for you that has been my dream car for forever, I always wanted a 90s 911, and to see a youtuber that I enjoy watching get one is the best
Pops trunk, in my head…… *k24 would fit nice there* Jimmy… plenty of room for a k series lol hell yeahhhh… huge congrats on this accomplishment dude, we are all proud of ya jimbo
Lmao when Jimbo raised his eyebrows when he said a k series would fit in here. He was full engineer mode haha. Love to see it. Congrats man most def a dream car
BLACKBIRD! Oh man I cannot wait to see this at local shows. Been a fan of 993 and 964 for ages and they're always a stunner. Congratulations ! I'm not surprised about the car getting lost - Baltimore port was a trainwreck when I picked up my r33 GTR from there because it took us over an hour to find it.
Love the kids picking up the last of the real 911s. Working on these cars is a joy - add relays for the lights, take it closer towards stock from the kit ;)
Love it! Ik work every day with Porsches.currently building a g model racecar! These cars and engines are build so simple and good. You are gonna have a blast!
Yes, Porsche guys watch your channel so welcome to the Fam! FCP Euro, ECS Tuning and Rennlist will become your best friends, Pelican Parts not so much. By doing the work yourself you're gonna save a shit ton of money so a Porsche is then affordable.
Damnit, you beat me to it!
Stoked to see what you do with this thing - and stoked to cruise together someday when I get one ❤
No offense Adam, I'm way more psyched to see the old Porsches than the new ones (even though the new ones are comfy, and fast, and awesome in their own ways). So psyched to see what happens with this!
stoked
Having Nakai-san on your channel to build you an rwb would make a great video and be a sick addition to your collection
Pick up a Singer! Probably won’t even miss the GT3
I bought a 911 20 years ago , i owned it for 4 days and sold it . I'd already owned a few 928's , so i was spoilt by 928's with its 50/50 weight and a V8 .
I still have a 928SE from back then . Its a 5 speed dog leg manual and Porsche only made 42 of them . Exceptional cars , much better than that Beetle Sport 🤣
A 964 will always be my dream car ! Congrats!
That first few minutes when he sits in and smiles that shits such a genuine moment. Congrats Jimbo!
its james now remember lmao

massive congratulations, jimmy, and it's nice to see your collection growing and changing. I can't wait to see you working on it and modding it
The B roll of the rear when pulling in the shop with the dog walking across is was a great shot
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that enjoyed that shot of the direwolf walking behind the car. 😂

It's correct
@@mrfinch6664 The Germans would disagree 🤣
@@combatrobotkev4363 its porsche not porschaaa ask any german

I learned about the inverted tach from Tedward
From driving the RUF Yellowbird in Assetto Corsa, it also has the tach going vertical as standard.
Congratulations on the awesome car. If it’s from Japan and looks similar to an RWB, it’s probably a Sunburst Body Kit. They are lesser known than RWB, however also build wide bodied air-cooled Porsches.
You have an amazing base to build one of your best cars yet!
The Flares look like Sunburst but the skirts don't
@@10kae yeah, I don’t know them well enough. I just know I saw a couple of them while living in Japan. 👍🏼
I was thinking it could be the gt2 body kit
Probably a one off kit based on rwb japan is known for wild body work so this would be a day job
Besides those side skirts it looks like a 964 GT2 kit. Also has a 3.8 RS wing
Wangan Midnight Jim 💪🏽💪🏽
My jaw dropped. Hot car, congrats Jimmy, you're the most deserving enthusiast on the platform!
Dude, I have a picture of this at the port in Baltimore 😅 I’m a driver for United Rentals and I saw it at the port one day and looked over it
So happy for you Jimmy , you deserve this ! Can't wait to see what you do with it
thank you so much for buying this thing. This is one of my favorite cars I cant wait for the build!
Ayo Jimmy 2mins in and I'm super excited for you. Congratulations my guy. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and God bless.

You got an old Porsche before LZ 😭
Congrats, Jim!
Wide body Porsche is the absolute dream. Congrats man
Big Jim with the major level up! Keep pushing the limits and inspiring the rest of us

Even living in Ireland I'm still surprised at some of the cars that are hidden away around the country. Great stuff as always
Awesome!! Congrats 964 Jimmy!! Wheels are SSR SP1 🔥🔥
This channel is about to get even better. Can’t wait to see how this build goes. Super excited. Jimmy you on another level now…
Jimmy the engines are super simple. I’m excited what you do to this thing… Keep the 3.6!!!

Not normally a porche fan but that thing is beautiful, well done Jimbo 👍
The rotated gauges were like early idiot lights, under normal operating conditions they all pointed strait up. Easy to see if something wasn’t right.
Hell yeah Jimmy! That’s awesome! I’m so happy for you! That car is also a goal of mine to own. Hope it treats you well!

Lots of us watchers are also just all around motor sports lovers. Amazing purchase can’t wait to see what you do with it(Nurburgring )
I love 930s and 964s good job buddy. Living the life
So good! So much fun to come! I did not see this coming, did not pin you as a porche guy. None the less great purchase. Ive been interested in them ever since Adam got his GT3. Oh I want one. So good my man! So good!

The fact that the comment section isn’t filled with him saying Porsche wrong is wild. Tbh
Great find! You get what comes to you not what you want. All things in time.
Bring this back to life man this thing would be a crazy daily
Kit looks like a factory style “gt” kit… has the look of a 964 gt2, with that big Rs wing 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
By the way Porsche guy here 😂 been a viewer for a few years! Got a 996,944 and a lifted cayenne 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

I'm like you, always loved the 911 but never could afford one. So now everyone thinks I only like cheap cars. Grats buddy, you earned it.
This car gave me goosebumps and I said out loud “daaaaamn jimmy!” Proud of the boy
@OFFICIAL_JIMMY_OAKES... what did i win?
Man's getting all them legendary cars. Got an Rx7 FC/FD, Porsche 911 964, bunch of S15's, S13's, Ae86 and more. LZ now needs to get one to complete the set. Already has R34, R32, Supra and if the giveaway NSX isn't gone yet, use that as well then do a photo shoot
God damn Jimmy Jam..... I haven't been this excited for a car on a channel in like fucking forever. Good for you hommie. Cheers from anotha ct boy
No Way Jimmy! Huge congratulations - What an iconic car!
Wasn’t expecting this purchase. But very clean antique. Hyped to see it stretch its legs.
Don’t be scared I bought a 2002 996 911 about a year and a half ago from BAT best thing I ever did! You’ll love it
The way the Porsche was revealed reminded me of the Forza Horizon Barn Finds. Congratulations on the new acquisition and achievement Jimmy
That Porsche is so beautiful it’s a work of art and the fact that you can beat on it now that you know it’s a project car two
I never comment but being a air cooled Porsche lover and owner this is sick congrats
No way a 964! You suit this car so well! This is like blackbird. Your car collection is legit looking like a wangan midnight garage with those Z32s
Beyond stoked. IMHO don't touch it until you take it to a frame shop with Brian. Then you guys should restore it as much as possible. Slow burn but it will turn out to be that much more of a car. I love a rwb style Porsche. I someday will own one I home. Definitely a bucket list car. You guys do your thing and be patient. Restore it as much as you can. You have a few body guys. Reach out to industry garage as well. Love it man congrats!

Stoked!!!!!! I look forward to this one! Congrats you deserve it!
Finally someone doing a classic Porsche! Finally something I’m super interested
Oh hell yeah! Jimmy is me but without the nice funds this guy owns about 90% of my dream cars. Keep going fellow car enthusiast brother.
