1973 Porsche 911 factory tour

[@ryanschneider7217]

Thank you for posting this! Nice to see some footage of my father during that era, who was Hurley and Peter's crew chief for much of the RSR and 917-10 cars used in CAN-AM. Visible in the red shirt at 7:52

Liked and subscribed. New favorite Porsche video. How does this not have thousands of likes and comments? The grainy video and late 60's/ early 70's back ground music are the icing on the cake. As annoying as it may be it wouldn't be the same without it! These hand made cars are great. The only cringeworthy part was seeing the technician stuff the wires in behind the Tach lol.

It is why I posted it, the old school climate is the best. Glad you enjoyed it.

​@@ralleyquattroWhat a cool video thankyou

[@user-ij6xs4ut7j]

Love the hand built cars, someone should warn these guys that the dashboards are going to crack!

[@rsvp9146]

Love the funky 70s music

At 16 in 1976 I bought a 72 GMC Jimmy which I owned for 2 yrs loved that truck . In 78 I bought my first Porsche at 18 a 67 911S for 7000$ Cdn dollars . A lifelong Porsche love affair began ❤️

[@vanwilder1101]

$7k in 78 age 18, impressive - were you making porn flims?

[@wgb72hka752]

7k for a 911?

[@LonesomeDrifter1987]

@@wgb72hka752times were different back then compared to now

[@sixfoot6films]

I've owned a 69 912 for 20 years and still adore it.

[@samuelchandler7612]

My Uncle Robert owed a viper green Porsche 912 in 1977. Ten years before I was born 😊

[@duanedurham7031]

So AMAZING to watch these classic cars being built by HAND.

[@ioanbota9397]

Realy I like this video

[@pkbrown58]

A special quality to those "hand" built cars. Each one being unique in itself. No cookie cutter assembly with robots doing it all.

[@3.2Carrera]

Yes..Amazing assembly here. I wonder when it truly became automated. I assume the 911's had the same assembly through 1989 and possibly the 964 too. Maybe a transition during the 993 and then pure modern assembly starting with water cooling. It would be interesting for a factory worker to chime in.

[@jacquesraymond6892]

No doubt, this was another era. Workers worked much harder in those days than they do today. Cars were really handmade.

[@SAMMYJR00777]

amazing

[@leroy9979]

Nice lines at 7:28

[@ManInTheBigHat]

7:27 Not something you'll see in today's industrial films.

[@citymedic406]

Another reason the 70s and 80s were awesome LOL

[@thomasregelein9014]

I remember Peter Gregg at our dealership.

[@marionfisk7926]

Very Cool to see how my 1974 911 was made.

[@marklangren3142]

My parrnts won the trip to Germany at the 72 Porsche Parade. They traded down their plane tickets so my brother snd I could go with. Spent the month of March in Europe, instead of a 911 we got a bug to use. Got to see the batch of 2.8 RSR's at the race department and a galvanized 911 with no paint. Where are the beer machines

[@morphyon]

„Going nowhere, really fast.“ Got it.

[@ChanceSummer]

Large crowbars, hammers, and lots of banging - Porsche and I have this in common! 😂

[@perceive8159]

I guess paying attention of a worker could vary on different days depending how one feels, a Monday car might not be a good idea I'd choose a Wednesday or Thursday car build 😀

[@bryantcurtis2665]

I totally enjoyed all 37 pixels🧐

[@bobnorman4730]

Very cool. I wish Peter Jackson would have a crack at the footage though.

[@SITRUUNAKAKKU-kl3sf]

I LIKE IT

[@jregulatori4672]

Would like to be the owner of the car seen at 25:12

[@HarryHipster]

If that Carrera RS 2.7 at 25:29 would fall off that truck, I would take it...

[@knutbergan]

How did the 20 mile test drive happen during winter months? Love this film btw.

[@ralleyquattro]

Looks pretty cold in the video, I don't see any leafs on the trees. Also, back then they didn't use as much salt if any in Europe.

[@doginu]

Now Serving Number 385...

[@chadbarbaro]

where was this originally aired? on t.v?

[@ralleyquattro]

Brian?

[@MegaJohnhammond]

where do they apply the pre-rust to all the body panels?

[@ralleyquattro]

It was infused at the foundry.. ;)

I love the what he says ; in a world of impersonal and lost values , jjjjjjjj if the narrator is still alive, he must be flipping.

[@rotax636nut5]

Great video, shame about the annoying backing 'music'

[@michaelmeliambro5117]

Why, oh why, did Ferdinand Porsche HAVE to exist???? Who was ASKING for a car like this???

[@ramonkrieg4852]

Excuse me?! What the hell are you on??!

[@pd8474]

In the town I grew up a Lady owned a beautiful green 1973 911T and the license plate ready 73 911 T
