The Porsche Thread

Shame they mounted the plate- like someone can't tell that it's a 911.

This cars been on the internet before as well as his garage.

The 12 gauge garage .

Not the prettiest 911 but interesting. The garage was awesome though

Thanks, for the video. I have drooled over his garage on Garage Journal before but never knew much about the car.

It is a dream garage for sure, but do you really need all those hammers :huh
And the car is awesome but a little too track focused for my tastes. Thanks for the post, enjoyed it.

Know the car an especially the garage from Welding Web.

Thanks interesting details link to post

P.s. those rear wheels are just not right on that era 911. Too wide and too tall.

Tell that to Jack on Garage Journal .

Well, obviously that guy cares about performance and handling over how the car looks. OTOH, I think it looks purposeful and menacing with the huge rear tires on it anyway.

Sometimes I just can't resist taking things apart...



I think it's going to work out well this time!

...you mounted an iPad in your dash? What are you going to do when, in a year, it is completely out of date and not supported anymore?

Your eternal optimism is refreshing.

We can hardly wait to see your hopes dashed against the rocks.

I applaud your enthusiasm and ingenuity. Screw the naysayers. It's your car to enjoy - as the good doctor intended.

Two captured this week.

Either a restored or one that's been very well looked after - couldn't get my phone out quick enough to get a good shot of this Carrera (late '70's early 80's? )



and one up at Alice's today at lunchtime (do love me those GTS's)

I believe that body style was used 1978-1989, first with 911SCs and then 911 Carreras. Some very small external changes were made like front fog lights and valance and interior changes over the course of the series. Looks like it has a third tail light, which began in 1986. This car has European bumperettes, noticeably smaller, not US ones, and of course a duck tail used originally on earlier cars. So the car has obviously had some modifications. Nice car.

thanks. It did look a little frankencar and not particularly American as you point out. My photo doesn't do justice to how handsome it was.
