    Heater controls are likely to open vents to the heat tubes, like the VW beetle - there is no heater core since it's air cooled. AC is likely an entirely different system and I suspect you could have the heater and AC working at the same time.

    When I was a teen in the 80's I got to detail a customer's 1983 911 convertible. They purchased it for $33,000 as a used car. It is interesting that almost 40 years later the car is still priced nearly the same.

    That car has a Tea Tray tail, slightly different from the Whale tail.

    You guys at TFL do have a real knack for buying quirky cars with a never ending list of problems for your mechanic buddies ( making no wonder they are your 'buddies' )
    In the meantime,... I love those quirky cars of yours. Yes, I'd buy them too.
    That 911 Porsche is simply terrific!

    Remember that the heater and defroster were designed in the early 1960s for use in Europe. A/C??? NEIN!!

    Nice era of the 911 and the best part no Turbo no Nannies just proper drivers car, though, prefer a hardtop. Still have to smog this and maintaining it in California would be a handful. A 1975 or older wouldn't have to worry about the smog and just maintain it to run safely 🏎🏁👦🏻👍🏻

  • @jeep2003

    better loosen up that tail release or you will be in for a bad day when the cable breaks. Wipers rest on the driver side because they were too lazy to switch them over from euro cars.

  • @burningbarnavit

    It's not just Tesla people bro.. it's just called a frunk. Also, it's called a bonnet, not a hood and the back cover is called either a.. engine cover or hatch.

    Good job Tommy ..but when you checked the Porsche 911 oil there was none on the dip stick you guys better make sure there is oil in it..

    • @jeep2003
      @jeep2003 3 роки тому +1

      Wrong you check it when at idle warm on flat ground. Dry sump so the oil goes down into the engine when its not running.
