LOVE this car


Boise, Idaho? . . . who 'd 've known?





.................

I'm pretty fond of it also.

Changed the seats to these Deser leather sports seats with houndstooth inserts on the great reproduction tilts and sliders from Joost in Holland.

Not cheap to marry the two but the result is seats identical to an original recaro package at a bit over half the price of a set or recaros.

Believe it or not, I bought this one right before Halloween.

Some more orange.

The 2nd one has actually been in 2 magazines.

A few more orange 911’s for everyone’s viewing pleasure.... Here’s “Chester” (named after “Chester Cheetoh” given the similar orange hue from that timeless snack food) , my 1968 911L slumming it at the dealership with a MUCH younger GT3 RS (not mine, sadly...). A fascinating study in automotive evolution :)

Purists please ignore this item. Several years ago my '69 Karmann coupe required a small touch-up to the front bumper. Testor's Spray Enamel #1628 Gloss Orange or Competition Orange was (and remains today) indistinguishable from the 68-6809-H paint as applied to my car. For a myriad of reasons your results may vary, but it is something to keep in mind.

Here's "Orangello". Featured in the Spring 2018 issue of Esses.

Hey! I know that car.... ;)

I'm partial to Signal Orange...

Here is my 72 Tangerine SR cpe. Customer cars always interfere with my plans but. When I bought the car the glove box was full of original documents that the prior owner had never seen, including the window sticker and build sheet. It had every S option. Except the engine/cooler and it was a T, no AC. Unfortunately over the years prior to me owning the car, it had a couple of upsets and all the options were lost or sold, engine/transmission sold but still a very solid car. We benched the car for some minor variations, have repaired the upsets and attempting to secure "original" optioned parts although some will be eliminated for a more sanitary look. Yeah, it wasn't supposed to be body color underneath but that is my preference. The remaining orange paint to be removed is original. Long way to go. (door not latched....)

Here is my recently restored 1969 911 T in Signal Orange.

Special Order Gulf Orange 81SC with original paint. Per CofA: special order color, sport seats, front and rear spoilers, and limited slip.

Hi Chuck,
Happy to contribute if anyone wants to see it. Think I might finish the resto project first... but that's "imminent". Mind you, it's been "imminent" for quite a while now!
Cheers, Richard.

Another incredible story !! This forum rocks !!

Wonderful Rick!

Thanks Joe !

That is a beautiful RS. I'll bet it runs as good as it looks.

It does run well, it should, as everything is new. have not done much of a road test as I have not registered it yet. That will be soon.

Then the fun begins....

Gorgeous Rick. My dream car.

The original owner had it from new until his death in 2005 and it has had just two owners since then (one being the first owner's son to whom it was bequeathed but he didn't want it!?! and the second being a German collector who had an identical car and decided he didn't need two!) . . .

My Dad’s ‘69 911E back when it was brand new…have always wondered where it ended up.

Here’s “Chester”, my 1968 911 L that I bought from my uncle in 1992 who had bought it as the second owner in 1972. I wrapped up major body and paint work 18 months ago and have been happily driving him from April-October here in Chicago where this is a seasonal driver. With the warmer and drier weather we’ve been having, I’ve been having a blast communing in him for my 50-mile round trip journey where Chester can really stretch his legs :).

Here's a friend's '76 Continental Orange (original color) backdated ex-sunroof coupe. Over the top job. Totally rust free tub he bought from a gentleman who had planned to turn it into a race car. No doors, no hood, no rear deck lid, no bumpers etc. The body/chassis was straight as a ruler. The underside photo tells a lot. This car also has the cleanest electric air conditioning setup I've seen.

wow !!!!!!!

Just purchased this Tangerine Porsche 912 hot rod. I am expecting delivery before the eom.
