Hope you enjoy the video of this amazing Porsche 964, please give the video a Thumbs Up and SUBSCRIBE to the channel for more Porsche, VW, classic car and aircooled content.
I can totally relate to your opening statement on how your lust for a 911 started. My first 911 was also a Baltic Blue 964 that I bought in 2010 at the age of 50!
Now that's a dream car I've had in my heart for ... uh ... since I was a younger boy !!! And happens to be the same color (light ice blue metallic) or super close that I painted my 67 convertible Beetle !!! Both on the outside and inside too. It was originally yellow but a fellow Airman had an absolutely pristine newer (can't recall the year ... this was in 79) Corvette that was that color. We got the actual color from the VIN and lo and behold it was a Sherwin Williams brand and had a local body shop (Mike's Collision in Clearfield, Utah) and it turned out sweet !! Still can't help to wish it had been a Porsche like that mate's !! G'on ya everyone !!! Thanks for sharing another great video Scott (two t's ??) with us and definitely don't let you meat loaf !!! Mike in Ogden, Utah USA =)
So fun, I have exactly de same car and when I bought it my children also started to call her "Sally", which is her current name (actually at home we just say "let's take Sally to go there"!). More fun is that I have the same "Martini Porsche" sticker on the rear window! Enjoy it mate!
Hey Allen, thank you so much for appreciating my 964. Lots more photos and 964 goodness in my Instagram page if you’re interested. My Insta page is @jamessand964
Sounds like a Carrera RS! Car is a 'sleeper' for sure, but with those engine mods and stiffer track suspension, that lovely RS popular 'peppermint' colour should have stayed. That blue is too tame! But, I am so happy to hear that beast fire up sounding like a true air cooled 911. Cheers!
@@jamessanderson3545 a glass out professional respray in mint green will repay itself 5x over - DO IT! this is a 6 figure car nowadays and will forever be.
Nice build! Love the color on the body lines of the car. Which Dunlops did James say he runs on the street? Which does he run on track? I have a GT3 muffler on my 964. With semi solid engine and transmission mounts, the car is loud. On the GT3, Porsche uses pre mufflers to tame the sound in quiet mode. With the engine bay layout of the 964, there’s no reasonable space for the pre mufflers. Even on its quiet setting, you need to raise your voice to have a conversation. It’s cool for the driving experience, but be forewarned. Another mod James mentioned was shortening the heat ratios. On mine, we changed 2nd through 5th. Removing some of the overlap between 4th and 5th allows closer ratios - it’s a blast!
Nice to see the care and Love for the 964's. He's got that one running good! I built about 30... 964's Some Turbo Roadsters and Speedsters. @93Amethyst964
I love that blue colour, thought it was more of a grey shade until it mentioned! It's called Sally! I should call my 911 something. I think it's great that it's been plastic coated. Stone chips took the ceramic coat off in places on my 718.
@@OutlawGarage yeah it was already chipped on the ex demo car I bought. I had it done anyway on my 992 and it seems to be okay so far. I think if I keep the car I might get the front end PPF wrapped. I have seen loads of positive things like you say
@@jamessanderson3545 It really is an amazing car James. I think if I keep mine or I move onto something else I will consider getting it clear wrapped too!
Great info looking for ideas for 1990 C-2 Cabriolet I have acquired from the Bride and getting tweaked up, thanks. Named mine Pandora as she has been surprising me with the demons, but she is long in the tooth and... Nice roar on the engine and what a sweet job on that one.
@@OutlawGarage Being really a Corvette Guy (2 of them), while working on the 964, I liked the way the Germans take something using 5 parts to 15... But they build it right. So it grew on me, but she is trying my patience with the difference between 964 and those before. Appears I will have to address a sloppy shifter next...
Thanks 😃👍 I guess it all depends on 1) Budget 2) The look of the car you want as the 964 and 993 do look very different for a 911 3) the 993 will be slightly quicker. It really comes down to personal choice as you can't go wrong with either one to be honest
For me, 993 vs 964 is simply a choice of which shape you love best as ownership is very similar. 993 a bit more refined with more advanced suspension, particularly in the rear. 964 maintains classic 911 profile which is what swayed me to a 964.
G'day, What a car and that sound it's music. Q. When this car is out on track days and the odd bit of competing do you need a cage . At least a 1/2 cage. ✌ Peace
Hey Kevin, glad you appreciated my 964. I must admit, it was getting to the stage at track days, particularly at fast tracks such as Philip Island, that I was pondering fitting a cage. Coming off at 240 plus would not be pretty.
I heard the mention of 965... common error calling a 964 Turbo a 965, because it just isn't and never has been. The 965 was a special project that never went into production and only a few were made and only one still exists in the back rooms of the museum - I've seen it. The 965 Rarely sees the light of day. It's partially 959 and partially a few other things and is pretty odd ball looking actually. So..... the term 965 is 100% incorrect for any form of 964 Turbo, despite the fact that some parts for the 964 series has a 965 prefix. That is just one of the many oddities of the Porsche parts numbering systems ;). Cheers!
I do love a Skyline, particularly an R32 GT-R. Amazingly after owning Skylines, I was amazed that with rear engine/rwd, the 964 has as good power down, even in the wet as the GT-R, particularly on track tyres.
@@jamessanderson3545 careful not to fall for @carculture.ae and Dan's initial comments 🤣. He is a true GTR Head and has a healthy competition with a few 964's in Dubai 🤣

Omg.....mint green 😮.....put it back to that colour 👊🏻💥......
I love Mint Green, the Blue is nice but I have no idea why the dealership repainted it straight off the boat
@@OutlawGarage Probably a hard sell during the recession at that time.
@@dr.mattpavlic305 You're probably right, didn't think of that 👍

The blue is great but the mint green would be my absolute favourite, if I owned the car I'd be very tempted to repaint it to be honest.
He revealed the truth about the colour as he got into the middle of conversation. Well done, man! Unique strategy to avoid lying for sure.
Both colours are amazing though

Thanks, really pleased you enjoyed it
Beautiful car. Love the unique blue color too
I think the Horizon Blue is also a rare colour like the Mint Green, The Blue looks brilliant in the sunlight.
@@OutlawGarage i love blues in general. But its hard to find anything unique. This has its own shading
Yep you're right, these colours are hard to find now or super expensive

Glad you like the exhaust note and my 964.
The colour is always a struggle. I love the blue, but some days I think it would be great to get minty!!

Ceramic coat won’t really protect against stone chips but PPF is excellent and has really advanced over the past few years

These old aircooled cars can have a few demons but they are worth it in my opinion.

@@cw5865 there are some great kits for that but it could be as simple as the bushings
Just subscribed. Keep up the great work! Thoughts between RWD models of the 964 v 993 as a first chassis for 911 ownership?
Thanks 😃👍

That might have been a slip of the tongue
Finally a decent car makes an appearance in one of your videos. And no it wasn't the 964......
It was there for a few seconds, I'll try and get a GTR on soon 🤣

@@OutlawGarage totally. As mentioned, I love GT-R’s
Sad the mint green was lost.
I feel a little the same. The current colour is nice but the mint green is my second favourite colour
The headlight on his shirt looks really wrong and funny 🤭…
I hadn't noticed that before 🤣
@@OutlawGarage looks like a enlarged 968 headlight on a 964 - the white circle should be smaller and have an offset outline 😎
Bom
Exactly
Although the owner is a handsome man but please shoot more about the engine than his face. Other than that, awesome video. Thanks
I will next time 👍👍
