Trying to find the words !!! Not sure I can !!! My goodness me, how good was that !!! Living the dream !!! Thanks a million, zillion Bruce, AND everyone at the Petersen for making this happen !!! So looking forward to going to a Cars & Coffee at Canepa !!!!!!! ... 😄 .. take care everyone .. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ...
Wow what a place and what talented staff you have , surely the planets most desirable showroom , shop , and for me place of worship . Thank you big time .
There are so many gems in this shop. Also probably the only place on the planet with MULTIPLE Group C and GTP cars for sale at the same time. The 962s, the NPT-90, Buick 85G, and Toyota HF-89. Not to mention all the 935s. You could literally stage a late 80s early 90s IMSA race from this garage.
+1. Our '98 Carrera S coupe is at Canepa Motorsports I proudly say. Having ordered the 993 new back in the day .... I get to experience the coupe "as new" once more! .. How cool is that . . .
This is the equivalent to walking into a hobby shop and gazing at wall of different options. Then choosing what you’d like to sink your teeth into.. just incredible. That last shot with the lifts is a dream sequence.
One of the most knowledgeable and passionate guys in the Porsche world. I could listen and watch him all day .. living his dream everyday .. wow imagine working there every day .. heaven
I just can't say which of the cars I'd love to ride the most. All of them were my childhood dreams from magazines. They still are... :-) I'm happy they are preserved (hopefully) for the next generations... You got my utmost respect Mr. Canepa.
I remember seeing some of those cars racing in the IMSA days at Portland. The Bob Tulius group 44 Jaguar. The 83 Nissan. What a great time in motorsports. What great memories, Thank you!
This was the best Petersen installment so far, by far, and it was in large part due to Mr. Canepa and his obvious passion for these functional works of art. I could listen to this man ramble on about cars all day! And then you get to see all the legendary cars in such an impressive shop. Unreal.
I would buy a Canepa 959 if I could, and I don't even live in the USA. 950bhp on E85? Wow. That's a strong engine. He's right, they were 20 years ahead of their time in terms of the technology used, that we now consider standard.
I have to say, I was on the edge of my chair the whole time watching this. This is truly as passion this is not work but a dream come true. Thanks to Peterson and Canepa for sharing this and making my stay at home enjoyable and a blast.
Bruce put together a shop and auto collection that is one of the best in the world. His restorations are immaculate.!!! I met him back in 1985 when he had a shop in Santa Cruz modifying Chevrolet Blazers with superchargers. Now he has a huge building in Scotts Valley where Seagate Technologies used to be. I worked at Seagate during the 1980s.
This was a wonderful video. It made me day dream about car wish lists for hours. My Dad worked for Bob Akin and attended quite a few of his races in the 80’s. It’s was great to see all of those 70s , 80’s era Porsche’s. Thanks so much for the time Bruce!
I love when Canepa races Historic TransAm cars. I was especially thrilled to see him race the 1970 AMC Penske Javelin for the win at Laguna Seca a few years back. I know he's a Porsche guy, but he's a Rambler guy in my book.
Just found these video, Wow there aren’t enough words. Would visit this place every week if I could, just to see the the history, automotive art, design and true craftsman. Brilliant.
Fantastic tour! Thanks very much for sharing, really nice to be able to visit during these hard times. Really cool to see some of these cars again or for the first time. Thanks again!
Mr Canepa, you're an honorable man. You have a great work ethic and take pride in the work that you do. It's a pleasure and honor to see your work and the pride you take in it. I hope to one day be able to afford a 959 from you.
I really liked your clean shop and awesome vehicle collection... those are some of the best/nicest Porsche 959's that I have ever seen...just beautiful! Thanks for your narrative on each vehicle threw out your video.
Thanks for the guided tour of your cars, they are beautiful examples of rolling history. Some these cars I remember seeing being driven at Mid-Ohio and Watkins Glen when they were new. Its good to know that there are people who appreciate these cars and have the resources available to keep them in pristine condition so others can enjoy seeing them.
Just like the Petersen, a great place to visit if you are in the area. In fact, the two places are basically joined by the PCH, so a great drive if you are heading either direction!
👍Beautiful collection! Thanks for sharing!👍 ... but a few questions: *”... is everything NEW?... everything restored?... everything rebuilt to new?...NEW?... NEW?!?”* 🤣😂🤣
These videos are so great. Almost as great as the driving videos. After watching and seeing the money and time that goes into these cars I love my Honda. Like the guy with 300 cars.........has to be completely psycho.

so envious. what an amazing life and joy you created for yourself.

+1 .. Heaven on earth. One Porsche said to another Porsche . . . . . .
Wow...truly insane! You have been very blessed.
I let out an audible gasp when they showed the last Silver 959. Absolutely stunning.
it just keeps getting better!
Thanks Bruce and the Peterson’s Museum for this video,
Much appreciated
This is the equivalent to walking into a hobby shop and gazing at wall of different options. Then choosing what you’d like to sink your teeth into.. just incredible. That last shot with the lifts is a dream sequence.
How clean this shop is says it all...
So many 959’s in one place, amazing detailing restoration. Great please where legendary cars are reborn!
Bruce thank you so much for sharing your amazing shop and craft
993 GT2? You guys got the goods. What a dream it must be...
Truly the best historic racing/restoration shop in the US.
When I hear the name Canepa I think of 959! Thank you Bruce!
Wow ...what a great video of your awesome shop...thanks for letting us see your operation....outstanding
Glad you enjoyed it
Bruce knows his stuff... 👍😉😊
Those 959 SCs are beautiful. It boggles the mind to think how much doing one must cost.
One of the most knowledgeable and passionate guys in the Porsche world. I could listen and watch him all day .. living his dream everyday .. wow imagine working there every day .. heaven
I think this is the peak. Wow is the only word to describe this garage and attitude to cars, you can't say more
I just can't say which of the cars I'd love to ride the most. All of them were my childhood dreams from magazines. They still are... :-) I'm happy they are preserved (hopefully) for the next generations... You got my utmost respect Mr. Canepa.

That green 959 just floored me.My God,just when you think you've reached the Pinnacle.Out comes a green 959.Just outstanding!!!
I didn't know anyone reimagined 959s i love it the singer or ruf of 959s
@Rui Pires .. +1. . The green exterior color of the 959 v. III is outta sight. . The red color interior is a hoot.
I for one, could never get enough of seeing Bruce Canepa & his fabulous shop. He is The Master :-)
The best!
THANK YOU FOR THE TOUR. WAS VERY INTERESTING. I WOULD SAY THAT 99 PERCENT OF US CAN ONLY DREAM OF WHAT YOUR ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!

That is mind blowing!!! FANTASTIC.

As a retired Audi/VW/Porsche tech I really enjoyed this video.

I can listen to him for hours..
Holy cow....thank you so much for allowing us to see this. What an extraordinary shop.
Our pleasure!
Excellent color choice on the 959.

Watching this video I say "wow" so many times I have to stop and try to think of another word to say. Wow!
One of the coolest car videos I have ever seen! The historical value alone is priceless. Thank you!
You are a legend Mr. Canepa.
WOW!! What an amazing shop!! The 959 has been a favorite of mine since the beginning!
I love when Canepa races Historic TransAm cars. I was especially thrilled to see him race the 1970 AMC Penske Javelin for the win at Laguna Seca a few years back. I know he's a Porsche guy, but he's a Rambler guy in my book.
Bruce,very nice video!

@GS 15 ... +1 Agreed...
I really liked your clean shop and awesome vehicle collection... those are some of the best/nicest Porsche 959's that I have ever seen...just beautiful! Thanks for your narrative on each vehicle threw out your video.
It was nice to get a look behind the scenes of some of the restorations and customs of these cars.
Bruce defines Passion.
What a wonderful collection of cars!
Thanks for the guided tour of your cars, they are beautiful examples of rolling history. Some these cars I remember seeing being driven at Mid-Ohio and Watkins Glen when they were new. Its good to know that there are people who appreciate these cars and have the resources available to keep them in pristine condition so others can enjoy seeing them.
23:41 Wow. Amazing car right there.
Fabulous cars! What quality and craftsmanship.
Couldn't agree more!
This is living for ones passion at its best, nice one Bruce.
What a great video. I could listen to him all day.
Glad you enjoyed it
Everything in there is so perfect! OCD Car Heaven.
Good morning everyone !!! And welcome Bruce !!! 😃
Thank you for this amazing tour, this was even more fun than the museum tour! Love seeing these cars torn apart and reimagined!
those 959's are something else.. I didn't realise Canepa brought them up to 800hp
Watched parts one and two perfection. Love the 959s
It doesn't get any cooler than that ! I enjoyed my life restoring customer's cars but just one at a time.
Absolutely amazing!! I didn't know you can do this from A to Z. Especially on a 959. Wow.
Just like the Petersen, a great place to visit if you are in the area. In fact, the two places are basically joined by the PCH, so a great drive if you are heading either direction!
I admire people like you!!! You also need the right team, that's for sure... what a pleasure to listen to you
Thank you Bruce for the detailed tours. Always fascinating to hear of the details, the extent of work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a Humble man . That would be an absolute dream to work there
Except you dont get benefits or a livable wage, but yeah...
@@johnnygoesfast9397 .. Nonsense.
👍Beautiful collection! Thanks for sharing!👍 ... but a few questions:
*”... is everything NEW?... everything restored?... everything rebuilt to new?...NEW?... NEW?!?”* 🤣😂🤣
gorgeous.
If you get the chance, go there. You can walk around the sale floor and show room, and might get a peak/tour of the shop.
Thank you Bruce...Would like to work in that shop.Fantastic quality of work.
Amazing walk around historical race vehicles what a treat!
That was pretty damn good!
I remember as a kid the Canepa Kenworth T600 that he put all these cool aerodynamic pieces on it. It was the first “aero” semi truck.
These videos are so great. Almost as great as the driving videos. After watching and seeing the money and time that goes into these cars I love my Honda. Like the guy with 300 cars.........has to be completely psycho.
911R with dice... Living life!
@Tommy Tuite .. +1... I saw that ... Living large with a 911R... In the next life.
Canape's garage is a DreamGarage & Shop
