I believe any pre 77 USA spec has limited galvanization. These things would rust just looking at it. Europeans are buying old imports from the USA that no US restorer would touch because the rust is nowhere near as bad stateside. They look at them as "not so bad" A 74 911S is a very rare sight. Any pre- 86 Porsche is made to the absolute highest standards available at the time. IF properly cared for, designed to last a lifetime. Ferrari would just throw whatever parts they had laying around at the time. Each car is slightly different. Porsche would even number and date the wheels.

completely agreed! the 70s and EARLY 80s 911s just had a look that nothing else could touch. to me, the later YellowBird is the ultimate old 911, but ill never own one of those. but maybe an old 911 SC? possibly! and it must be the coupe like this, with that smooth roofline, and maybe a little tail on it. i recently saw a Singer-built 911 that was a stunning deep green metallic, that might be my go-to, since my old daily driver golf vr6 is also a deep rich "sequoia green" color.

​​​​@@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261 The pulling head stud issue was caused by excessive heat cycles. The excessive heat was due to the engine running leaner to meet smog requirements along with the use of thermal reactors (early version of a cat) mounted right below the cylinders. Fortunately this car has a front oil cooler and really all the 911's should have come with a front oil cooler like this car and they wouldn't have been pulling studs. Porsche just didn't have enough time to test the "new" Bosch CIS fuel injection before putting them on the market. By 1978 Porsche was putting front coolers on all the cars.

The 3 digit DOT date code transitioned to 4 digits in 2000, and decoded as a 2 digit week (38 of 52), followed by the year of the decade (2). This example may be the 38th week of 1992, but could just as easily be 1982 as well. Thanks for sharing this time capsule, and props to the owner as well for playing the long game woth maintenance and repairs.

The suspension on these early Porches were unique. No coil or leaf springs, everything was a torsion bar. The front torsion bar were easily visible in the wizards tour of the underbelly. The rear torsion bars were a little less obvious but unique in their own way. The little round caps just in front of the rear wheels was how the torsion would be installed or even changed for different ride characteristics. These torsion bars are a hardened steel, about an inch in diameter and two feet long. Splines cut into both ends. These splines would fit into matching holes with internal splines, one end anchored in the swing arm for each rear wheel and the other end is anchored towards the middle of the body. That's one of the neatest elements of the 911 design, that they could fit the suspension into that small package of a vehicle. Air cooled bugs used the same thing. The torsion bar would be in a constant twist with weight of the car put on it. The inner anchor point would be a rust problem. With all that weight at that point in the body, a little corrosion can easily cause that area to fail. That's what happened to mine. Now days, a person would have a body shop replace that, but 40 years ago it didn't seem like it would be worth fixing to me. 😢

Just a note about the tires' date code: before 2000, a 3 digit date code was used. The first 2 digits indicate the week, the last digit indicates the year... thus "382" would be the 38th week of 1992 (or 1982). Of course, after 2000 the date code was expanded to a four digit code, taking the guesswork out of figuring out the year of manufacture. Even so, these tires are well past their replacement time, and you are entirely correct in letting the customer know that continued driving on the current tires could be very dangerous! Beautiful car! Back in 1974, you could get a Porsche like this for under $25K... I'll bet this one is worth a lot more than that!

The color is called Minerva blue. First year of the whale tail was in 1975 installed on 930 Turbo in Europe. In 1976 the Turbo came to the U.S. market. The 1974 Carrera came with a "ducktail" and could be optioned on other models like the 911S. The seepage is most likely the #8 bearing seal behind the crankshaft pulley.

It’s nice to see a 911 in very good original condition. As you say, if you can find a reliable mechanic it helps tremendously. It’s tough to find a dealership, shop or mechanic that wants to build customer relationships. Going through college I worked at a dealership that had a saying, ads and a salesman sells the 1st car, the service department sells the 2nd. Most people buy a different brand each time.

Wasn't easy and I still can't forget that 1st Street hill, in San Francisco, that I rolled back down on three times before making it. Luckily a Sunday and no other cars in 1973. You could hear it come home from 2 blocks away. Such a cool car other than not an easy fit for someone 6'1" and their right knee hitting the dash.

When I bought my 1994 Opel Calibra, it had tires from 1995. That was the first thing to change (and allowed bigger rims, a "whopping" 16 inch). Twice I had winter tires disintegrating - on our german autobahn, so maybe at 80 mph. You use them yor just a few months, so after 10 years they still had ample profile. Did not help, the steel reinforcement ripped and flailed around, playing havoc on the fender. Granted, that was in the 80s. So I recommend to anyone - that what connects you to the road, don't play chances. When the engine explodes, you can hit the clutch. When a wheel goes, you're off, wherever. Into the guard rail, on the alley tree (a colleague was gone from one day to the other due to that), down the cliff, into the oncoming traffic.

People have been trained for years to monitor tread depth as if that were all they needed to be concerned about besides proper inflation. As tires age the rubber becomes hard, like an old pencil eraser that won't erase but just makes smudges. Those aged tires won't grip the road when it's dry. Add a little moisture and when you have to get on the brakes you'll slide as though you were on a frozen lake.

Quality of manufacturer makes a difference in the seriousness of tire age. These tires are 30 years old, yet they haven't come apart yet. The industry safety nannys would have you believe they would (at least one of them) blow out by the time they were 12-15 years old. The weather checking is nothing compared to what you might see on the average grade tire with 10 years of exposure. And it's limited to the one groove. These are Michelins, which are one of the highest integrity tire manufacturers in the world. Especially the tires that are produced in France. I've seen them stand up to all kinds of neglect and still not break belts, have structural failure, etc.

It was sell the car or take out more student loans. In more recent years, I’ve been able to replace the 911 with a V12 Ferrari and a S65 Mercedes.

@mescko you can get an original recipe bottle now with all the sugar and flavor as it should be. I'm glad you enjoyed your vacation over here, I have been to Florida 3 or 4 times and loved it too. All the very best from Scotland and thank you for the reply it's much appreciated.

This is an immaculate impact bumper Porsche, with factory ac no less. Nice to see its been driven as well. And honestly I've always preferred the duck tail over the whale tail.

Befpre year 2000 tyres had 3 digits. 382 means 38th Week of 1982 or 1992. Thanks for your vidéos I can enjoy them from Geneva/Switzerland.

Beautiful machine, my friend owns a 1979 911SC which I have had the pleasure of working on, he paid AU$60,000.00 several years ago and now its worth AU$100,000 so a very good investment. My friends car inspired me to buy my own Porsche, couldn't afford a 911 so I bought a Boxster which is a sensation to drive.

You should have showed more of the funky thick rear suspension arm. So the "throttle" lever is like a choke?

The car looks good but it needs a polish. No A/C so it's a three-season car. Crank windows! That's old school. Green shocks are the optional Bilsteins. There's nothing to leak out of the steering rack--no power steering!

Looks more like a '75. It's got a red barred badge, as opposed to an an orange bar badge, and it's got a plastic engine cover grate on the rear hood, as opposed to the metal one with the 2.7 badge on it as well. I know Porsche is weird with mid year updates and not completely conforming to model year updates. Beautiful car!

Looks like Gemini Blue Metallic. I had a '74 back in the 80s (Guards Red). Had a ton of fun with that car, and compared to cars of the day, it was very quick. I think I paid around $11k for it. It would be worth quite a bit more now, obviously. The prices of gone insane for these things.

The 1982 tyres are nice, because - since they lasted this long showing the profile they show - they proof that thise 911 never ever got abused on a race track or on any road. It just was a 2nd or 3rd car nicely taken out from then to then.

Nice car, engine has been out and resealed, exhaust has been replace with stainless SSi kit, that is not an AC drain just so you know, (this car did not come with ac). You could pick these up 20 yrs ago from 2500 to 8000. Now they go for 30 and up. If it would have said carrera on the side, 75k.

The throttle lever is because they had no choke. The carbs would deliver enough fuel from the throttle pumps to get a cold start but no choke meant no fast idle hence the lever.

@Car Wizard be careful of the newer bulbs, some of them melt the head light housing, and the electrical wires. Not saying that the ones you picked are bad, just something to watch out for when picking new bulbs.

Tires built before 2000 featured a three-digit date code at the end of the Tire Identification Number. The first two digits of the date code tell you the week that the tires were built, and the last digit tells you the year. For example, a date code such as 306 would let you know that the tire was built in the 30th week of a year ending in 6. There could be confusion of whether the digit refers to 1976, 1986 or 1996. It could be any year made before 2000. My guess would be ‘92 since it was a V speed rated tire. The tread pattern looks similar to a Goodyear Eagle GT.

Great video as usual. Love your calm melancholy demeanor. Question mid 2010s V6 mustang or V6 Camaro. Looking for longevity and ease to work on. For my son. Yes I'm living vicariously through him cuz I could never afford it when I was his age. But he's a great kid.
