Probably the best 911 composition around. It makes a refreshing change from the carbon fibre cup holder brigade world view.

"the carbon fibre cup holder brigade world view." Quite. This is like one of the best Petrolicious productions.

Love it! The owner's irreverence and obvious love of driving is so unpretentious and refreshing. Especially like the license plate frame "has rust" "Numbers don't match". Beautiful car and fun owner. Finally an early air cooled 911 owner who isn't a douche and deserves such a fine automobile!

I feel this guy to the core, I drive my beater vr6 the same way daily. No power steering, bare-bones interior, and no radio. The pure, no frills driving experience makes me feel more human again.

"Has Rust. Numbers Don't Match" - Love that plate holder

Sometimes being imperfect is perfect. Love the color and design. Beautiful car.

Couldn't agree more!

Love the ethos behind it. Seems so perfect with its imperfections.

I must have watched this video 20 times,I just can't get enough of this 911.

This 911 has so much soul. the color is cool , sitting so low to the ground, looks like its just stuck there. the engine sound so well in tune , its exhaust is well balanced . its what a raw 911 should be, and its driven how 911 should be, foot to metal .

After watching hundreds of 911 vids this one has shot straight to the top! I love the narrow body, noise, and response of the amazing engine, and the whole vibe. 100% awesome.

Thank you sir.

This is everything that is great about cars and enthusiasts. Well loved, driven hard and often, not locked away and polished with diapers on a battery tender. You gotta roast the pork hard and often.

The flywheel mustn't weigh anything with how quickly it revs! Magnificent car.

It’s hard to drive nicely I’ll tell ya that.

My 911 has “patina” as someone once lovingly pointed out. Got keyed once. Heavy wind blew a patio umbrella into it not long later. Some mismatched paint too. Would I like to to be perfect? Of course. But what it provides me is an escape from the idea that I’d better preserve it, as I ride the tails of my buddy’s’ 911s hooning through the twisty roads of SW Wisconsin. New stone chips after every drive, and a grin from ear to ear 😊

Your 911 is special. Anyone can buy a 911 already put together. It takes heart and persistence to curate parts and build something like this. Bravo.

God that car sounds glorious. Air cooled 911 just have that snarl that can't be replicated.

Nothing wrong with what you have done it's a unique and awesome car the engine is absolutely superb, just watch out for that tail on slippy bends, I used to have tyres too wide for their rims and she used to bite! I sent the track marshalls running for cover one afternoon. I believe the instruments are a push fit on a rubber gland in this model, pull your rev counter out slightly and turn it until the red line is top dead centre.

This has to be one of the best old school air cooled 911 videos and car is bad ass!

Everything about this 911 is perfect for my own taste..and the blue paint looks epic! Love the rough and ready appeal of this car..and not a show pony.

This is fabulous. Exposes exactly what bothers me about Singer and such overly poncy restomods. Bravo !

I had a '72T, and miss it to this day! It was the stock 2.4, but had the dual/triple-choke Weber setup, and just flew. Mine was a Targa. Love your car! It's not a mess. It's unique!

No, I don't think your car is "a mess" at all!! I think that sometimes to make non-matched components fit and work well together which weren't originally designed to fit together takes more insight, knowledge and engineering skill - looks like a ton of fun to drive!!

Wow, 2 minutes in the noise…. So fantastic

The plate frame says it all. This car just makes you feel things.

The question should be, 'Why wouldn't you do that to a car like that?' It's great!

That car is perfect and far from a mess ....That car is a perfect example of why simplicity can be perfection .... A decent chassis and a honking motor is all you need !!

Sounds like a proper racecar!

This is the best iteration I've seen of a "better miata" many have tried, but you reach a point where adding more is losing more. This is pure. If it's built under 30k it is successfully a better miata imo.

It’s a mess, it’s wrong and it’s my mess and I love it.

This is pretty close to perfect. A slab side with an RSR enigine with French headlights as the coup de grace. I recently saw some stupid “design study” Porsche did on the 356 that was appalling. It had the same pedantic overly precious fetishization of qualities that have nothing to do with pure sports cars or pure race cars. This car here IS Porsche. The same company that as part of program of developing its first super car for the street- decided the platform needed to win the most difficult Motorsport event currently being contested. It wasn’t the f1 circuit or the neutered remnants of 24heures des Mans- it was a Paris-Dakar that went through several countries the French Foreign Legion wouldn’t even go through anymore. Porsche is the company that produced cars so dominant and fast and deadly that historic races like Le Mans needed to be neutered into a glorified auto cross event albeit with better wine and the seemingly novel approach of having all the competitors in all the classes run at the same time. Porsche’s 917s snatched eternity from the mythic Mulsanne straight and the LeMans that woke up from that trauma was always going to be a bit less mythic, a bit less self confident, a bit less important and most of all a bit less relevant to the sport as a whole. A real Porsche is a Teutonic thug of a thing. If you truly “get” Porsche you’ll know that the boxster front end and fried egg headlights on a 996 are far more appropriate than the artisanal contrasting leather work in a Singer. Porsche has never done nostalgia but it’s also fallen on its face when it’s tried to start from year zero. The best Porsches have vestiges that spawn the technological excellence that produces the amazing performance. 911s are rear engined six cylinder sports cars and are all the better for it. I hope in thirty years a 2022 911t has 300,000 miles on its chassis and has had a GT4 engine swapped into it halfway through its life when the first engine blew up trying to chase down a Ferrari through the corkscrew at Laguna Seca. Maybe insurance will even pay for it when the owner accidentally forgets to mention he was in rather than at Laguna Seca. Anyway. This car rules. I’m jealous. I’d probably ruin it with a ducktail spoiler though.

Love it and the sound!

I freaking love it. So unique and so awesome. Great video. Thanks!

Superbly shot and edited. Lovely colour grading, loads of moving shots that give the "feeling". Very cool car and owner as well. Subbed, keep it up! 👍😎

Man that sounds sick!

i love this video, great documentary, great filming, good music etc etc. great story.

OMG. What a car - well done. The noise going past at Road America - literal goosebumps. Thanks for sharing. Mark Davis (AKA: 911Time).

Excellent production. Great story that speaks to enthusiasts of the air cooled 911s.

Beautiful car and amazing exhaust note!!!

It' s great , it's perfect , it's just the way it is , it's one unique Porsche that makes the 911 what it is.

Make no apologies. The car makes very happy sounds when moving quickly!

Very cool

Great job, beautiful Porsche

That’s one hell of a car. Very much up my street👌🏿❤️

Chapeau sir. Chapeau.

Fantastic man.

Cool looking car with a monster motor. Love it! Its your car, you build it, you drive it and you love it!

so pure

People who daily their Porsches deserve some respect. These cars were never meant to sit in a garage with a trickle charger. They like to be driven - hard. Bonus points for winter driving a 911

nice car man

this is killer, bravo

Super cool car.

If only it was Irish Green over a Cognac leather with Pepita, Houndstooth, or Tartan, with no decals, it would be my dream car 🤤

We can do what we like to a car like anything, because we are NOT "custodians", or keepers of sacred flames.

omfg.... i should stop drooling any time now...

I love this 👍💪

It's perfect.

Capolavoro 👏

I luv that motor

It's perfect

Yeah, real petrol head car, driven hard and loved. What a car is meant to be to someone.

Just my kind of car 😁👍🏻

Looks like fun, can you share the tire sizes and spring rates? Did you modify/change the shift linkage? I'm building a narrow body long hood.

How am i just finding this video 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

A dude that i Respect!! Drive It like yah 'stole IT'!! Enjoy It Frequently....Live in the NOW!! 'P' Cars Rock!! cheers!

Awesome car. It's on my bucket list to build a high-revving 3.0 motor for my SC. I think it's pretty common for the quarters to be a little different side to side. It seems to me it would be worthwhile getting the rust in the rockers taken care of (although you may uncover much, much more) - any plans for that?

Where can I find out more about this car? Tire size, suspension set up, redline etc?..Love everything about it!

I love the Shit Box idea! Like you've shown us one thing that sweet is you made it yours. Drive the wheels off.

Looks good to me, but the sound...perfect

I have seen this video before. It was on PCA channel 3 years ago

Numbers don't match? I love it. Hell, my numbers don't match either. Just a mutt.

If you just bought a new Taycan,,, how excited are you about your new purchase now? Woops...

U were smart being suspicious of a transaction w a dude from Louisiana. And so often they won't take a credit card purchase via PayPal. I did have one successful purchase. Dude then would not ship. By chance had to drive thru NOrleans for work and picked it up. Made it up to me by throwing in a pressure washer. Dude was over his head when it came to crating for a truck shipment.

He said it has "too much engine" but I'd think you still get more oversteer lifting the throttle than pushing it

Awesome video and that car seems like a beast! I like Porsches, but i'm not really into them enough to get why "that engine" shouldn't be in "that car" can someone explain?
