Why I HAD To Buy A 2nd Air Cooled Porsche! (PORSCHE 911 Carrera 3.2 Coupe Joins My 993 911)

[@xupmapeal]

Congradulations on the new 911, Will. It looks stunning! I'm also a 993 and 3.2 Carrera (and 911 SC) owner, they are fantastic cars, built to last many lifetimes! Guards red is always a winner in my book, but, for me, they just look and ride better with the original 16 inch fuchs wheels. Either way, what a beautiful machine! Keep up the good work, I really enjoy your videos.

[@Rennthusiast]

Glad you're enjoying the content. Man...a 993, a 3.2 AND an SC? You're my hero lol!

[@gwos999]

I got a 86 cab for about a month now. Same color as yours and I love it so far !

[@my911affair3]

You can't beat that body style. Wish Porsche would make the G body style again.

[@johnjvoris]

Will -- Love the car & the mods. I have an '87 with very similar (if not exact) suspension upgrades, lower stance & rims. What mine does NOT have are the A/C upgrades. You happen to know what mfg upgrades it has and are you happy with them? When in SoCal you're welcome to test drive the 87 to pinpoint the G50 differences. Mine is in excellent condition, similar to yours.

[@Boxsterox]

I own an 89 that looks like this car’s identical twin. Mine only had 41k miles when I bought it a year ago, but that’s changing as it’s my daily driver. I just can’t not drive it. Such an engaging experience!

[@Brakelate879]

The wheels and the ride height make that guards red pop!

When my wife bought her Porsche from Brumos in Jacksonville they gave her a track day in Gainesville.

[@713vinh]

Gorgeous car, I also love guards red on a 911. I've driven an 82 SC 3.0L and these are a gem. Very fun to drive and gets a lot of attention.

[@86Carrera911]

Greetings from the frozen tundra of MN! I've got an '86 Carrera too. It's black/black mostly stock with about 95k miles. I've had it for about 12 years now, and I still love every minute of it. It makes me smile every time I drive it. Looking forward to seeing what you do with/to yours.

[@Rennthusiast]

Robert Allen thanks for watching and commenting. I have many other videos on my Porsche 911’s if you’re interested. Just check out www.KZbin.com/BavarianEnthusiastTV

[@derronius]

Beautiful car, brother. The guards red on the 3.2 is perfect.

[@57eleven1]

You nailed it! I’ve done the dragon twice on my motorcycle and to me it’s nothing to come back to. I guess we can say we did it. Last time I was on my way to Bryson City. My favorite stay over on my yearly motorcycle trip. Maybe, next year I’ll take my 911. I’ve been all over where you are here. Yes, there’s so many other roads much better than the dragon. Your video is on while I write

[@Rennthusiast]

Scott Koehn if you dig these roads you should check out the Back of the Dragon in SW Virginia. Runs between Tazewell, VA and Marian, VA. I did it with 3 other 993 buddies a month or so ago. 32 miles, less traffic, stupendous views and equally if not more challenging than anything you’ll find in western NC. Hands down way better than the tail. Thanks for the support. 👍🏼

[@57eleven1]

@@Rennthusiast I did a lot of the roads in your video on my Triumph Bonneville. I come from Orange Beach, Al. to W.V. through Virginia. Last year 9 states 9 days but it was cool seeing you on many of the same roads I’ve ridden. Next time I’ll take the 911 from here to Bryson City

[@57eleven1]

[@Rennthusiast]

Scott Koehn there’s just something badass about striking out solo on a road trip in an air cooled. I do it several times a year to clear my head and just enjoy the car.

[@57eleven1]

@@Rennthusiast solo is the only way to go. “I think I’ll go this way ... and go”

[@andrewdowling]

I had an '84 Carrera 3.2. I loved the car. Would like an '88. Currently own a 2003 C4s. Amazing how similar the '03 is to the '84.

[@trevormacdougall9385]

Great video Will. Mine is the same color but black on the inside. 87 so has the G50 and now 30,000 miles. Also bought mine from PCA classifieds. Love the car. A friend has driven all 911 and has several incl GT3. Still, the 3.2 is his overall fave. Greetings from New Brunswick, Canada (border State of Maine)

[@toddadale]

I know the love - bought my 89' 2.3 7 years ago - had 53k on it. now at 100k and still loving it -

[@strauhans-peter780]

Just on the edge, Stuttgart Zuffenhausen is located in Baden Württemberg.

[@hectorsoy]

Love it! I almost bought an 88 Cabriolet years ago from a friend of mine, she offered it to me first for dirt cheap, the only reason I didn't get It was because I wanted a coupe, not a Cabriolet, I've been regretting not getting it ever since. I also love your 2002. I used to have a 72 2002, it was my first car. I wish I'd never sold her! Love your collection!

Nice! I just subscribed to your channel and have followed you from the beginning of your aircooled Porsche journey. Now you have another one! Welcome! you're on the slippery aircooled slope! (I've been on that slope for the last 15 years) :)

[@Rennthusiast]

Thanks. Building this channel one subscriber at a time. Glad I won you over. 👍🏼

[@stevegifford9463]

Love Guards Red!

[@flatsix-misfit3445]

Will, it looks awesome hope you take this to Targa Carolina 2020, I’ll be leaving my 993 behind and taking my SC next year.

[@Rennthusiast]

Porsche 305Bona-Fide you know I will be! I’ll be psyched to put on the hot rod exhaust and go vintage 911 all weekend. That meet was hands-down the most fun I’ve had at a car event. Can’t wait to check out your SC. I’m sure it’s amazing based on what you’ve done to your 993 👍🏼

[@donnyatkinsonhamilton9762]

I have a 87 Cab that was a total lemon and had to put way more then the cars worth to get it back to where the car deserves to be, now fighting Swiss DMV bureaucracy to get its Dansk exhaust approved, very long process. Dig your content, keep it up.

[@Rennthusiast]

Thanks for taking a moment to share your experience and frankly, that sucks. I’ve been putting out air cooled content for awhile now and you’re honestly the first person to tell me you’ve have a bad experience with these cars. That info doesn’t help with your current situation but maybe it does mean you could dump your current 3.2 and jump into another one? The good news is that statistically speaking it seems your chances of getting another lemon are low based on all of the people who rave about their legendary reliability. Again, man...sorry for your troubles, and thanks again for watching. Please subscribe if you haven’t already 👍🏼

[@cartoonking1063]

Curious what does the full paint correction entail and cost?

[@emkyue]

Same color as mine, enjoy your ride.....!

[@Rennthusiast]

Edward Yue GR is a classic Porsche color and stands out. While not as rare, it’s still a great color. Not sure if you saw this video but you may be interested! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYTWgZWCadGhq6M

[@likebossman]

Great video!! What are the songs you have in your video? Great songs!!

[@geminiman7069]

Had 3 back in the early 2000's. 1 red 911 SC 3.0 with a whale tail. 1 red 911 Carrera 3.2. 1 black 911 Carrera 3.2 A white 928 S1 V8 4.7 litre, and a burgundy 944, 2.4 litre. The 911's were excellent but not without many age related problems. Water leakage and mechanical woes. Gearbox failure. All my cars came with a full folder or history. £1000's spent on them, but don't be fooled, you'll soon be adding to that portfolio!

[@Rennthusiast]

My 86 has been trouble free aside from some initial work and tires. The 993 has needed a fair amount of sorting but has been great for over a year. I did a lot of elective modding to it which is no fault of the car’s. The 964….well, that remains to be seen. The good news? The joy makes it all worth it.

[@kenlakin2572]

I could not find your Facebook group. I want to be member 2! If anyone asks why I would ever buy 2 of the “same” cars, I just refer them to this video! I would not mind adding an older M3 to my garage some day.

[@Rennthusiast]

Ken Lakin it’s a group called Air Cooled 911 Fanatics. Transparently I haven’t spent much time learning about managing a group on FB so if you can’t find it it’s probably my fault in some way. What vintage M3 are you thinking? Hopefully not e30! They’re likely at the top of the appreciation range currently, I believe. I have an e36 M3 for track purposes. Fun car but I greatly prefer my air cooled Porsche’s.

[@57eleven1]

Just curious, and I’m not asking what you paid but, what do you believe an ‘86 like yours with mileage similar to yours in great condition, not excellent, would sell for? If you don’t mind me asking? In this video- I Love the red. I wish that’s what mine was. And, love the 2002, tho I know you’re a Porsche guy all the way these days. It’s sweet! Thx, man

[@Rennthusiast]

No problem at all. These days, I think a clean, well documented sub-100,000 mile 915 3.2 should be between $44,000 - $50,000. Broad range but I think it would be about number of prior owners and how much preventative maintenance had been done. G50 cars of the same condition I’ve seen listed at $55,000 - $65,000. I got lucky with mine as I got some really choice extras included in the sale: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH-ppZ6Di7OKoas

@@Rennthusiast thx! I got an unbelievable deal with those numbers. I’ll take it! . I didn’t buy it to make money but I don’t like losing money and a great deal is always a plus. Thx for getting back to me

That's a beautiful car, I enjoy your videos, but I hope your done now, have some consideration for other people looking for these cars, and yes, I will be giving my two cents worth to Urban Cowboy next, then ultimately have it out with Jerry. That's my opinion.

[@nineelevensouth]

Good one. Hit me up next time you’re in ATL so we can meet up!

[@Rennthusiast]

For sure. We need to connect anyway as we’re basically working on very similar content. It’s funny, I was actually BACK down there weekend before last after having bought the 3.2 to pick up some items that came with the car. Had to fly back down, rent a truck and drive it home. I’m planning on doing a short video about the interesting goodies that came with the car.

[@nineelevensouth]

Bavarian Enthusiast TV sounds good. Yea we should def get together and trade notes and/or consider some collaboration content.

[@bigbird7838]

[@TBGaels32]

The 911’s from the 80’s are cool. But I really like the look of the 911’s with the ‘whale’ tail better.

[@Rennthusiast]

You’re not alone. Many guys who have commented here and who I’ve spoken with really, really prefer the whale tail. I personally prefer the unbroken line across the rear deck lid. Thanks for watching, commenting, and I hope you subscribe.
