There are many ways to own a Porsche, but it boils down to this: Keep it stock, or modify it. In this video, Nathan Merz compares three early long-wheelbase 911s that each have a unique character. The first is a stock 1971 911S, with its original 2.2-liter flat six; the second is a 1973 911 with a custom-built 3.2-liter flat six; and the third is a 1970 911 with a forward-dated 3.2-liter flat six from a 1984-89 Carrera. Find out what are the pros and cons of each, and which one could be the right type of early 911 for you.

I owned an original 1966 (delivered 12/65). It was originally a 912, which I converted to a 911 by the main dealer here in Sacramento. When I was finished, it had 27 mm sway bars, American Mags with Goodyear Racing Tires, S Heaterboxes, and a Sport Muffler. It handled like a go-kart and was incredibly fast and very loud. It weighed less than the 911 at the time, hitting the scales at around 2000 lbs. I worked extensively with Vasek Polak. There were, at that time, only two others like it in the US. In about 1968, I sold it to a young guy who took it down to the LA area and then campaigned it at Willow Springs where a friend saw it later that year. At the time, PCA was not happy with me, as I hot-rodded the car. I fell in love with the 901 when walking into the dealership in Innsbruck, where they had a picture of the newly released model on display. I immediately wanted one. The rest, as they say, was history.
I loved the video. You sure understand these old Porsches. They are a bit like fine wines.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Very Informative and Excellent presentation...But cams in a 3.2-3.4 10.25 SW chip Carrera motor along with Patrick Motorsports gearsets with a limited slip G50 are my choice for a reliable old school air cooled hot rod. The G50 can handle the power 250/270-with a Wevo shifter you can enjoy the transmission without the old school slop. = a Long hood / Air Cooled / Precision Shifting / Steering Feedback 911 with decent brakes (Yes I'm a PCA lifelong member / built many and own 2 of these / hit the like button!)
Is this Andrew?
Favorite PCA video so far! Great job!
I have a 2011 boxster spyder. Love it, and really enjoyed your last video. However, at some point I'm going to need to swap out for a 911. This video was super helpful. Thank you! Bellevue, Wa. represent.
Excellent insight with all pros an cons and search for always over the years charging balance in the car's personality
Great video - love the comprehensive overview of the many (and , let’s be honest , confusing to many) variants of these beautiful machines
Nice video with informative and understated commentary. (I don't think the loud music adds anything to the video though.) Thanks for bringing us these productions. It lets us see the differences, the evolution and the potential for modifications of these older cars.
One of the most interesting and informative videos I have seen. Thank you. I’m based in Spain and in the market for my first 911 (finally!). I am looking for an air cooled, older classic look, but maybe with some modern benefits. I love the 993 but there is just something about the look of the earlier cars that I really love. Just need to drive some and try some 😊
I own a early 930 and have driven some newer 911s and there is nothing like driving q early 911.
If I keep watching these videos I'm going to need a 30 car garage. 🤣
Yeah no kidding. The beauty of these cars are unmatched imo.
Man...this is some DEEP knowledge. Impressive and informative. So many variations and changes over the years for these early cars, and you explain it quite well. Thanks for a great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
New to PCA and my 1st Porsche.
New to the 1st Settles Region.
Looking forward to Adventures, Events and Advice!
"Driven in anger" I'm envious of your choice of stress balls

Really nice video. I sold my 1967 911S(European) with factory sunroof back in 1981 for $8,500. Wish that I had it today, but at least there's videos like this one to remind me of how I felt driving it.
Thanks
Excellent and thoughtful analysis!
I am first time owner of a 997.2, I love this car, I am learning so much with this videos, thank you very much!
Thanks for watching!
What a interesting video about AC 911s. Each one with its own “personality”. Well explained indeed. I always wanted an air cooled 911, (no sure which “era”) and this video give a good insight even as it not covering the full range of AC 911s, still is really informative. Maybe later another video including a comparison with “late” models as 964s and 993?
Actual prices of air cooled 911s are on the roof, so for now I’ll keep driving my 997 until I can add an ac 911 to my stable. (Not sure which one yet).
Great Video! PCA crushing it as usual!
Appreciate it!
Nathan's insight proving to be a real treat once again - thanks for making this fantastic content
Glad you enjoy it!
As someone who lives in Arizona and needs air conditioning, I love the blue car. Man, my dream is just one classic 911; I think you're living the dreams of several people!
Glad you enjoyed the video. We truly hope your dream will come true.
As a 986 S owner I was very happy to see you own one amongst all those great 911’s.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great presentation.. More please!
Thanks! There's more to come.
great video that captures the state of vintage Porsche world. A few too many acronyms (MFI, ITB, AFM). I know what these mean. An explainer would help
Great content ,thank you ,well defined content.

I totally LOVE my '80 911 SC. Even more I LOVE my '99 911 996 water cooled w/ COLD A/C as I live in the deep south!
Awesome video! 🙏
Glad you liked it! Be sure to subscribe!
Thanks Nathan
Well done.
Lucky to have them all. I have one car with multiple power plants to experiment with. Starting with the 912😀. Too bad it didn't make your list.
I have a non-running 1970 T that I'm trying to decide what to do with. Is the blue car painted with a Porsche color code? I would also want a steering wheel like the one in the blue car. Thanks for producing this video, it gives me much food for thought.
Thank you. Big help.....
My "credo" is
Don't touch aesthetics
You can to improove the techinc
Greetings from italian 2.4 T (carburatori) with S performance
Awesome video 📹 👏 👌 👍 I own a 1987 911 carrera convertable ❤it 😎
Thanks for watching. Be sure to subscribe.
if you have a G50 with a very hard clutch (pressure wise) pedal, does that mean its time for new clutch? even if the car drives fine?
Why tease by saying that we will get to hear the cars being driven and then drown out the cars on the road with distracting music.
Sometimes it’s ok to not have background music
The '70 S was a beast with close ratio gears. The stock gearing was too tall and the car couldn't stay on the cam from 5000rpm up.
Mercer Island represent!
Nice job trying to explain the differences in engine choices. At 1:37 you called 69-73 a F body car. That is a common misconception. The 73 is a F but a 69 is a B, 70 is a C, 71 is a D, 72 is a E. The same as a 74 is a G but not the rest of the impact bumper cars. Porsche continued to designate body letters up to 89. Sorry to be picky but I have seen others use F to describe the long hood cars and it is not correct.
Does anyone know how I reach the video creator? I live in Washington State where I believe this was filmed. I’d like to discuss a 1971 911E that I’m having restored.
Great video! What color is the 73? Looks sharp.
Thanks! We'll get back to you on the color asap.
The color is Porsche Blue Metallic.
Always, always, always..PORSCHE has built " The Tool " for a Sports Car Driver.
This is VERY different than a passenger Car Driver.
The difference is a Sports Car Driver, is looking for a machine he/she puts on , and becomes one with. Mechanical extensions of you !
Passenger car Driver's would complain about noise, sounds of every thing Mechanical, makes them very nervous.
Those same sounds to a Sports Car Driver , is information ,need to Drive.
A PORSCHE has always been the BEST, Tool for a Sports Car Driver
You must ,Test Drive to get a hint of the Cars Own Personality.
You want the Mechanical , Extension of you to become Intergrated, with it.
This is what Sports Car Drivers, are in tune with
Great Video ! Even though I Drive Datsun Z cars of the same Era. The Tool of the Road still applies.
so true when you talk cohesive. learned the hard way tuning Honda race cars you want balance in the package. also the most capable cars are NOT the most fun to drive.
Thanks for watching!
Porsche guys probably doesnt get it but this video is like a warning for non porche people
He didn't even glanced at Dino. :D
No idea you where located in Woodinville.
why isn't a 75 Carrera mentioned much, ?
Porše.😊😮🎉
1979????
coool
Excellent presentation of the breakdown between the different “flavors.” Gives folks some avenues to research.
Now the constructive criticism:
The drive portion was quite disappointing. The camera man and the editor ruined it.
1. Why tell people that you are going for a drive so that people can get a sense of what the cars are about and then spend 95% of the time filming the presenter? Film forward for crying out loud!
2. The drive portion should have been longer. One or two revs into the power band doesn’t cut it.
3. No need to talk much during the drive; in fact the less the better.
4. Cheesy music edited in right when people want to hear the cars. Why on earth the editor thought that cut and paste rock music would add something worthwhile to a video like this I’ll never know.
It’s pretty simple. Drive some decent roads with low traffic. Get into the power-band more than once or twice. Face the camera forward and shut up. That’s it.
Agreed, sometimes the hosts forget that the car is the star. Yes, the host was nice in his intro, after that, let the cars shine/ Also, the engine is enough music for us all, no need for fluff
Could have done without the music at 24:30
at 18:48
Your WHP claims are wild. Fill the cars with 91 and put them on a reputable dyno.
I tend to agree. Those are some pretty big numbers. Questionable at best.
Those are factory advertised flywheel output numbers. Still pretty good number for a factory spec, NA car from 1970. If you've never driven a properly running one, you likely will not understand.
please no music , engine only
Thumbs up for the cars. Thumbs down for the music.
Good content, I gave it a thumbs down for all the commercial pop ups. Unwatchable I am a 84 carrera owner
They probably don’t have control over that. You’d have to subscribe to the UA-cam premium to avoid those.
Dante is correct.
Modified is for me! The original Porsche is way, way, way too slow, getting passed by a KIA like you are standing still.
