Congratulations, personal choice on the color but definitely PTS unique. I definitely have no interest in unwrapping it, happy to pick it up detailed and ready to rip.

Brave choice and well played. I would have gone amethyst metallic with blue accents for me but yours looks great.

Rick, this is Leo from Alan Johnson racing bumper in Florida. Love to see you

Nice to see you in the video. I don’t know if you remember me, this is Leo I used to work at Alan Johnson racing I worked on all your cars painted the blue race car. A couple of the photos, I’m in the video . I have. my own KZbin channel lm_stang . I miss working on the Porsche‘s

I fucking love his Porsches......🙆👏

I would loose the ugly 73.5. Bumperets.and go back to the prior style. Other than that, nice car.

More of this please! Great car!... The only car I have ever made money on was a 1981 911sc 3L. Paid $12k in 1996 drove, accident (insur. deemed totaled) 2004. Insur. co. said we keep car you get $18k, you keep car you get $17k. I said i will keep the car and the $17k and then sold the car 48hrs later for added $6k (which was a great deal for buyer)... 369k mi. and it was still tight!

Richard great looking 911! How does it compare to the 914?

How long has this cap owned the car for?

I knew Chuck pretty well, and new he was fond of rolling the fender lips for more tire clearance. His 914-6 was named Gronk and I recall it had a 2.8 twin plug motor. These fender lips do not appear to have been rolled.

Has anyone done a "she" count?

Truly wonderful car, but don't think the seats fully do this car justice, they just don't look quite right, ditto the sculpted steering wheel and the ultra polished rims. Apart from that this car is awesome in every other respect, including the beefed up power plant. I'd be tempted to offer my E30 as a trade.

Too cool .... Way to cool .... I think this is the nicest 914 I have ever seen. What a unique car. Thanks for sharing.

Your hat is round the wrong way, just in case you didn’t notice.

what a beauty

My 911 is model year 1973 also... I like it since 1986 when my father bought it

I had a 1972 911S silver, black, sunroof coupe, had the engine built to the 2.7L RS specs with RS space cam for the MFI, sport exhaust with the dual tail pipe, the 1972 was the rarest of this generation, the oil tank was in front of the rear wheel to help with weight distribution, only year because gas station attendants would sometimes mistake it for the fuel tank, biggest car mistake of my life selling that car in 1991…

Einspritzung

Bought for 10k. Somehow I suspect it's worth a lot more now.

DDDAAAMMMNNN!!! Thank you this is clean !!! I love this 911 and his Targa!!

Just found You Channel, Great Stuff and Magnificent Rides

Beautiful. My Favorite 911 of all time✌❤🤗

Awesome!!!

Nice vid well put together... 02, 3.2 liter six speed, 986 Porsche Boxster S over here with Fabspeed Exhaust, CAI, catless headers, IPD Plenum/TB, Numeric shifter, Bilstein performance shocks, H&R lowering springs, BBS Sport Classic rims (silver) etc... Not too much unlike your Spyder RS... minus the 4.0 liter GT3 engine but WITH a Numeric shifted 6 speed!! 😁 You got allocated for a Spyder GT4 thus you must have some serious history with Porsche... bought mine used and replaced/upgraded virtually everything!

Any interest in selling that beauty? Wow.

Wow, she's a beauty!

How well does the Renntech Sport Mufflers sound on the E550? Just curious as that's one exhaust setup I can't seem to find examples on. Plenty of C63 or E63 AMG ones but not the 4.7 bi turbo. And was that all that you did exhaust wise to that one? I have a 2016 E550 coupe in crystal grey and looking to replace the front two resonators with an X-Pipe followed by the Renntech Mufflers and a tune so was curious.

shii

Now I see the tires, I like it better. How many 914 have you seen, this is spectacular.

In 1982 I bought a 72 911T with S appearance option including front and rear sway bars mechanical injection, A/C and deep 6 Fuchs . At the time I was doing custom paint work on sports cars and muscle cars. I bought it from a auto salvage yard it needed a fender a hood and a complete paint job, someone had painted black was originally orange. It had 80k miles on the odometer cost was $2,500. I thought I was going to flip cars and get rich, lol. I took the car apart to do a color change to, of course guards red. All my friends bugged me to put turbo flairs or at least SC flairs on. I just liked the look of the car as a narrow body with the deep 6 wheels and did not flair the car. I did not know much about 911 other than the basics, flat six engine so on so on. I remember as I was removing the doors and all the chrome for paint, I could not figure out who would put chrome fender moldings on a Porsche? I figure that they must be aftermarket and tossed them. A mistake and Years later I learned of the option S appearance and the difference between T E and S, and factory wheel arch moldings. At completion I had close to $5k invested. Put it up for sale for $10k. No one wanted at that price due to it not being a S or not a turbo look. A couple of offers for about $8k That would have put my wage at about $5 per hour and at that point I said to myself I will keep it before I basically give it away. I still have the car and now I see that many people now understand what these narrow body cars and a motor that you don't have to turn high Rpm all day. Glad I held my ground and kept it as I liked it.

This might be, no, this IS the best PTS color Porsche has ever made, bar none 🏎

Dude!, you gotta love an Old School LA Brat! Love the Carmel Brown;)

Beauty, you lucky guy ! I got the spyder in chalk ,manual.

Beautiful Spyder RS. Congrats!

10k was worth 70k in current dollars.

Early 70s Targas are my favorite 911s of any model from any era.

Probably one of the most satisfying moments in life if you are lucky enough to order and deliver a new Porsche. Fantastic and legendary color.

had a 73.5 T. could never solve the "hot box" issue. regret selling it to this day

Just watched for the first time, great car Richard, long time 914 enthusiast, great to see one that exemplifies what all these cars should have been back in 73.

i know a guy who had it´s early 70´s RS on a agricultural warehouse with only a not that big round window on thick walls ,one morning he went to work and the body was there , only.

what a nice targa , i only had the 74, 911 with the 2.7 engine ended up never having a targa,(not counting the vwporshe) but the wheels are the same as they are famous ,nice work keeping it nice all this years

Subscribed, following, and enjoying! Have had a 78 911SC, 79 928, 64 356C and 87 Carrera cabrio. Miss them all!

The dookie Porsche

What a gorgeous PTS color

i work at a Porsche Centre in northern Wisconsin and have to say i'm a little jealous of Champion Porsche lol

My first time finding this channel. Some really odd hater comments here. I guess I'll stick around for a while to see if any of them are deserved. Lol. I love the color, and it seems like this guy is getting undeserved hate. I am curious how tall feel about the removal and install of the top. Seems to be pretty unanimous that's the top absolutely sucks to remove and install. 😅

You think about all the engineering brain power that went into designing, building and manufacturing this beast. Much respect to the geniuses at Porsche in Stuttgart Germany. Without them, we would be unwrapping lollipops.

She’s pretty. Congrats!!! The Sepia Brown looks a smidge different than her 1973 relative. ?

I didn't know what sepia Brown is that's almost like a football color it's strikingly beautiful. Congratulations on your success. Don't know why you're hat is on backwards. You're 65 years old, but whatever.

Chrome or silver wheels and accents would be fire with brown. Black is way over bruh
