- This is a Viper Green Porsche 911 F-Model from 1972, the only model year that saw the famous oil flap. It has been extensively restored and rebuilt with a ludicrous addiction to detail. But is it any good?

Thanks a million, Johannes - I am still stunned! Fantastic job! 😎👍👍
I remember in the late 1980s people repainting these 911s to a gaudy red or black in hopes of shedding the then out of fashion colors from the early 70s. What a beautiful "retroformation" to see this 72 restored to its original viper green.
O tempora, o mores!
Thanks for commenting, Jim.
It' s good !
It definitely is.
Pure automotive eye-candy.....
This thing blows me away.
Everything those greasy fingers touch turns to gold. Nice.
I wasn’t aware about that! 😆
Lovely car, fantastic video, my only complaint this is too short to enjoy with a decent pot of tea or glass of vodka.
Yeah, it’s kind of the concept of my „Is It Any Good?“ films to have em limited to 5 minutes. But you can watch it twice!
@@GreasyFingers Already did so.
Yes it is good have to say that
dream Porsche 911
Awesome 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😎

I look forward to each new, superbly filmed and edited video. Recently I’ve been paying closer attention to your drone sections, taking mental notes since I recently purchased my first drone and have started climbing the learning curve. Your videos are an inspiration. Thanks.
Thanks, Bob. The lates generation of drones is packed with anti collision sensors and does many shots in an automated manner.
Love the cars, love the music and love the film. Thanx !
Thanks, Remco. ☺️
I love to read that.
Wow, that was almost carfection level of filming quality. Great Porsche!
What you mean “almost”? 😆
in 1999 I went to look at one of these for sale for 3000 dollars, it was in pretty good condition as well. I had no money and couldn't raise the funds..what a missed opportunity.
Ohhhh yeah. We’ve all made that experience at some point. When my Alfa Spider was involved in an accident 15 years ago, buying a 911 from the money I got from the insurance was very close. Maybe 5k missing or so.
Unfortunately I didn’t have them so the window of opportunity closed.
@@GreasyFingers Damn ! I managed to buy a rusty SC back in 2014 for 10k, spent 50k on it :-/. I just sold it for 60 ! Didn’t make a penny but at least I got to drive it for a few years .
@@Omegaman1969 Can’t take it with you.
Outstanding!!
Thanks, John!
Fabulous! 😎
☺️
I like the pace of this video, nice and relaxing.
Laidback and easy.
Was für ein Video!!!
Das war richtig viel Arbeit, an den Autos und für den jenigen, der sich um die Aufnahmen und den Videoschnitt gekümmerrt hat!
Aber es hat sich vollends gelohnt, ein großartiger Genuss, --- auch wenn ich es nicht mit Porsche nicht so habe, ein bisschen mehr Alfa Romeo währe schön gewesen! ;-)
Danke, Dirk.
Das ist sehr nett von Dir. Schick ihn an ein paar Freunde weiter, wenn er Dir gefallen hat.
Der GT meines Freundes bekommt diesen Winter Alu-Türblätter, Alfa kommt also definitiv nicht zu kurz in Zukunft.
Reminds me of a 912 that back in the early 70’s, Uli my Austrian ski instructor and then Innsbruck student drove, having traded in his beetle.
Curious how 911 and 105’s imbedded themselves into a young school boys mind and fantasy. Only emphasized perhaps, with visions of Camilla Sparv and Robert Redford in the film “ Downhill Racer”
Thank you, Hugo.
Indeed the school boys question is interesting. Google gives me some interesting information about the age distribution. Unsurprisingly, 45-54 and 55-64 are the biggest groups with together 55% and about equally big. Surprisingly, however, 25-44 are just as big as one of those and below 25 are at least 10%. There is hope that our heroes survive!
Talking about my channel of course.
WHAT A LUSCIOUS COLOR GREEN VIPER IS, especially on this'72 Porsche
The first time I saw this color was at Luft 6 at Universal Studios backlot in L.A. in 2019. My wife and I were wandering around ogling at all of the cars and then we both picked up our pace and started walking in the same direction. And there we were, both standing in front of a gaggle of 914's all of them different colors but my wife and I were standing in front of one stunning, mind captivating, sensuous green paint job. We asked the owner of the car what is this color and he said Viper Green. With all of the different colors presented on these 914's I thought this owner just took the color from the American muscle car called "Viper". But later I overheard someone say that it was a Porsche color.
How did they pick that color? I have an idea. Earlier in my life I was a herpetologist (dealing with snakes, lizards and such). I was at a herp show in San Diego, CA when I spotted this snake in a cage wrapping itself around a large tree limb. It moved with power and stealth. I asked the owner what kind of snake it is and she said an Emerald Green tree viper. She said it was in the family Viperidae that included adders, pit vipers (like rattlesnakes, cottonmouths) nasty viscous snakes. Vipers move with rapid speed, are venomous and have long, hinged fangs that inject poison and can kill you. Is any one just a little bit scared now!
So the Porsches with this color represent an animal that is scary fast, venomous and can kill you, Now that is a color to have for a car - but only if you are bold enough! Did Porsche choose the color because of those qualities, did the American car have that name because of the snake power or was all this just a happenstance? Not. Advertising and branding companies think long and hard about their choices of words and concepts. Hisssssssssssssss.

Thanks for another most entertaining comment, Jim!
Later G-model by the way had a metallic tone with the same name. I do prefer, however, the original one.
Tolles Video
Danke, Melina. Du verdoppelst gerade die Zahl meiner weiblichen Zuseher.
@@GreasyFingers ich schau schon länger zu! :) Fahre auch selbst Alfa und freue mich immer, dass die Videos so schön produziert sind. Das ist in der Autowelt ja auch eine Rarität.
@@Melina-vs7pl Danke, Melina. ☺️
Wow! Jan is awesome. He has sent me a ton of detailed pictures to help me in the restoration of my '72 911T. He knows I'm leaning toward Viper Green. Such a great color. Great Video as usual!
Thanks a lot Rodney, the filming sessions were great fun with the 2 guys! I am excited to see your build continue, you have already mastered many challenges on this restoration. 👍👍
Thanks, Rodney. Viper Green would be my choice too.
What a beautiful car beautifully filmed and edited! A true thing of beauty.
well made video...how about a tripple video Kadett evaluation ? 1964 Kadett A, 1967 Kadett B VFL and a 1972 Kadett B ? Or giulia, berlina and alfetta ... cheers
Since everyone else has rightfully commented on the great video quality and Porsche content let me just add nice selection of music cues. Nothing worse than 90's sounding rock and roll guitar riffs some people use. Keep up the good work.
Glad you noticed this.
I’m really spending a lot of time to select proper music.
I have been a Porsche 911 enthusiasts for many a year. I really appreciate your knowledge, insight and expertise of this incredible driving machine. Again, I thank you. Nolan M. Pitts
You’re most welcome, Nolan.
Loving the racing prelude!

Thanks for these reviews (little stories). As an American it is very cool to get a glimpse of classic car culture in your part of the world.
I think I am a born Alfista. I love most Alfa Romeo and I had a lot. But I spend my first 8 years in my father`s Porsche. That`s why I also had 2 Boxsters. I hope day I can afford a 1970 911 Targa. Not restored, rather very used outlaw look.
Not long ago I read the following: if your most desired dream comes true, that is both the best and the worst thing that can happen to you.
Apart from that: F-models that give a solid base for a restoration are much cheaper today than they were five years ago.
Very nice video thank you. I have a 1970 targa , which I am restoring at the moment. I wonder if under side of the car and engine bay is body color when these cars left the factory? Any idea or source to learn?
Thanks, Eren. The owner of this car has extensively researched this very question. Please write me a mail (“About” in UA-cam) or contact me on Instagram, so I can bring you in touch.
McQueen is smiling down for the opening homage. ;)
So hard/challenging to keep them original ‘87 G body daily driver 20+ years USA.
Yeeeaaahhhh, you recognised it!
☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
@@GreasyFingers you nailed it my friend! The time effort and most importantly the passion is very much appreciated and enjoyed,
completely professional production!
Don’t give up on wrenching though! 🙂🔧
Capolavoro!
Ho la fortuna di guidare una 2.4 T model year 73 light yellow
Non so se siete a conoscenza del fatto che nei primi anni Settanta c'era ancora un po' di diffidenza verso l'impianto di inezione in Italia (...patria dei Weber e Dell'Orto) così l'importatore Porsche (Autogerma) proponeva un modello modificato da nuovo che potremmo definire "T/S": cioè una T con i carburatori Zenith originali ma con pistoni, alberi a cammes e altre cosucce delle S (ne hanno realizzate una ventina circa)
La mia è ispirata a quel modello... tanto gusto alla guida, tanta gioia alla vista 😊
P.S. per la splendida viper green del filmato ho dei dubbi sui rostri posteriori: se ho visto bene sono completamente neri, sia la "base" sia la striscia di gomma aggiuntiva, quando la "base" dovrebbe essere in metallo lucido che rimaneva a vista sulle "trim T" oppure rivestito con la striscia di gomma per le "Trim S" optional presente su questa verde (erano completamente neri in materiale plastico solo quelli per gli USA ma con forma spigolosa differente)
What an absolutely beautiful car
Yes, it’s adorable. Most beautiful 911 I know.
Any good? Nah - it sucks Some people pay in the area of $200,000 for a really nice one but thats just them
It’s a hard world.

Iwould Say its better than good wouldn't you?I just so happening building my own 72 91and i hope she turns out this good.
Yeah, she’s pretty cool.
What colour is yours?
Love the car ❣️
Thanks, Neil!
Corvette c2 and C3 and Porsche 911 including until G-911 are my favorite sportscars 😍
You gotta love them all.
@@GreasyFingers True Story
Always nice to watch! Lovely car….
Thanks, Jürgen!
Nope no good Thats why people are paying $150,000 - $200,000 for really nice ones
Agree to disagree.
