Here are several somewhat unflattering photos of 'Patrick'. I was able to pick him up from the family of the longtime owner and drive it down to the R Gruppe Treffen in SLO. I think he was a well recieved by the guys.:)

Take a good look at the steering wheel. The car came with a pile of parts which included 2 old steering wheels wrapped in old newspaper. The wheel on the car now is the wheel that the PO called his 'concours' steering wheel. I was totally :eek: when I saw the part #.

Andrew check this out. The previous owners (4) have kept a running log book since 1971. This notebook was started in 1980 (there are copied pages from the first one) and is an interesting read about the mileage, repairs and even Auto X suspension setups from the owner I bought the car from. He wrote the most detailed notes of all the PO. Here is a sampling.:)

A generous Board member sent me a nice condition lens to put in the broken left side fog.:)

Raj, nice 914-6! Beautiful time capsule. I am really beginning to hanker for one of those. Speaking of time capsules, Brian's car is one in spades. That darn car has all the cool stuff that you don't get to see much anymore. How about a perfect set of factory fuses and seat extenders in addition to that RSR wheel.:eek: And that is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. You really gotta see this car - pictures don't do it justice. Oh, and it drives pretty good also.;)

Beautiful 914 Raj. Love the dogbone footrest.

I purchased this '71 couple of years ago, with some very nice updates. The PO installed a fresh 2 liter with Webbers, Bursch exhaust, '74 Fuchs, new carpet. I added a side shifter, upgraded headlights, seats redone, and a complete Elephant Racing suspension. The car is a blast in the twisties and feels so glued and sure footed, woe to me if it ever brakes loose.

Eddy graciously agreed to 'sell' the car.

I want one. Raj, why do you need two?

There are quite a few on this board that deserve my thanks for the endless emails and hours of questions about these outstanding early cars. After two long years of very patient (and sometimes frustrating) searching, I bought this car in September. I apologize for taking this long to post (I have been driving too much) but I wanted to take some shots of this original beauty in the mountains, but with crappy weather on the way, that has been put on hold. These shots are old but represents the car well. I have gotten her tuned for the higher elevation and she now runs like a top, but better than that -- two different shops as well as four paint/restoration shops have looked at her and have all verified the original, unmolested condition. It is really cool to have West German glass!! I have an outstanding painter lined up to respray this winter, so by the time Parade comes to my backyard, she will be looking spiffy. Thanks again to all that helped in my search!!

Raj, nice -6's! And you own two! I think you should sell the yellow one to me.:) :D ;) I already have made the decision to get a 914 before the prices go nuts. I just need to clear out the garage of a car to make room.

Raj,
I would love to!
Scott,
I'm w/ you.

Raj,
You are right, it is only original once and the decision to paint was a tough one. But the paint on the roof and some spots on the hood are down to bare metal. The clear coat in those areas broke down long ago and even though we are talking original paint, cosmetically it is detracting from the appearance from the car as a whole.

Just to give you an idea of what the roof looks like now

Raj,
I too love the patina'd look. If I had an original paint car, I would keep it that way regardless of the finish. My T has paint from '77 and although not original, is cool because of its age and patina. Those cars are way cool with patina galore. Love the Allard - J2X is my fav. And that 917 was/is way cool at RRIII. Oh BTW, your yellow six is totally the wrong color and I think I saw rust peeking out in various places. Isn't that an oil leak I spotted tool.:eek: I'll be over this weekend to haul it off to the junk yard.;)

I think this thread has gone a little far of field …. :rolleyes:
Somewhere after the beautiful 914 … :)

I think this thread was for members to post pics of their cars…… fist picture posts, welcomes, before and after, upgrades … etc.

I know when I, and others, log on to this thread we expect a new pic of a new member's car, a new pic of an old member's car... or even an old pic of a new or old member's car...... :D

I think the posts on patina and originality is GREAT … but might deserve it's own thread .... ;)

What'cha think lads ??????

Cheers

Chuck,

I think threads of this type tend to wander, and then find their way back on track. I think the originality conversation within the thread is just fine.

I'll be back on track pretty soon, certainly someone will show their original car that hasn't been seen here before, or an example of a repaint and a before and after for us to judge.

No issues to me!

But, MORE PICS please! Love seeing all the cars, particularly those wonderful 914/6's... wish I had kept one of them that I had, and wish I had bought one that I thought about "too long" and it got snapped up.

Raj Please do not take offense on the 914 postings. The 914-6 are maybe more of a heart stirring for me than the early 911's. I tought my self how to drive at the age of 14. There was both the 914-6 and the 71 911T both Blut orange in the garage at the time. Some how I still have the 911:rolleyes:.

Guess I should have been more clear. I tought myself how to drive a clutch in the 914-6 unbenonst to my father at the age of 14. And I'am now the owner of the 911T. My first car was a Ford, Lotus Cortina.

Well the old girl nicknamed Peaches by my niece & nephew has been undergoing a bit of a transformation recently....:D:eek:

Before and after shots

A few more, not the best light but I was in a bit of a hurry! I have since installed the black rubber strips between the rear bumper & the body which makes the fit look a little better :)

Other minor adjustments of spotlights etc tomorrow.

Nicely done Cam! The black hood really makes it.

NICE !!!!!!!! ......... ;)

Cheers mate

Very nice Cam! That black hood has me thinking about a new direction for my car down the road after I play with some other stuff first. Is that carbon fibre or fiberglass?

Very Cool Cam!

Cam:

Looks very Sports Purpose! I think it really transforms the car from a street ride to something that would look very much at home at any venue. Great job, Cam.

Thanks guys:D

Been hankering for something a little more extreme for a while now so I'm really happy with the result. The suspension is about to get a work-over before this years Classic Adelaide Rally which should hopefully improve the handling a bit more as well.

Scott the hood is fibreglass. From memory there was around 15kgs weight saving from the original.

Cam,

Looks really nice,

Do you have a better photo of the grill cover? Was this self made or purchased?

Where did you get those rear wheels? Are they Superlites?

Thanks,

Hey Max

I'm not sure if I have a better photo and the car is now on a truck heading south but yes just home made from expanded mesh. I sat mine on top of the lid because of a few paint imperfections. I used rubber grommets as spacers between the lid & grill.

Superlites it is! There are a couple of sources in the US, Pack Racing I think?

Cheers

Fear not Kenik they are in good hands!!

I have spent the last 10 months driving around on Atlas tires, which were sold through Standard Oil stations about a million years ago. I tried in vain to find a good deal on some ur Fuchs wheels, so I just broke down and found some steelies on Craigslist (4.5" in front and 5.5" in back), had them powdercoated at the local truck tire repair center for $30 a piece, and got some shiny new Vredstein Sprint skins (165 R 15 front and 185 70 R 15 back). New tires are 100% huge grins over the old worn out 14" rubber I had. Here is the before and after:

Here's mine. 1970 2.2E with 'S' pistons and cams.

Great camera work

Some Chicago area fall pix of my '68....with rear seat passenger on board....teach them young, :D

Mike, car looks great! I like it with the original style front valance! (cant believe you put a plate on it though..crooked nonetheless) :rolleyes:

Whats the plans for the winter?

Haha!

That plate is the law in IL...there were about 8 miscellaneous holes in the bumper before I had it redone......the body guy welded up all but the two stock holes...it could be easily taken off if need be....

Crooked, yea...I actually straightened it after I took these pics.....sometimes it brushes on the ground and "self adjusts"......notice the bottom of the plate is bent too....this is a driver LOL

Plans for this winter are:

1. New rubber bushings in entire suspension
2. Get carb throttle shafts rebushed and also rebuild carbs
3. Pull engine and install new throwout bearing (mine is noisy and I've put up with it for a year)

These three things should make the car more refined, meaning, less creaky, better idle, and less noise when clutch is pushed in.....

A few more pics (one taken after I straightened the plate!). That is original paint in the jambs, only the outside of the car has been repainted. Interior is all original.

I drove my car in the Targa Trophy rally yesterday. It was a great event with a lot of nice Porsches, but sadly I had the only vintage car.

just out of the oven...

I haven't posted any pics of my new old car (aka Wolf's old car) but figured as much as I like to check out everybody else's great cars on this forum, I should do my share.

Funny thing about these old 911s. I bought mine thinking a full resto would be fun and "putting around" in it would be all I'd do when it was finished. My first run to 7k in second and third gear really turned my whole world upside down though. I wish I could've seen my own face :eek:.

It took a little while to get used to actually trusting a 41 year old factory hot rod enough to get me to work and back, but it has and does just fine. It smoked a bit and smelled funny at first but a heavy right foot seems to have fixed that little trait as well. The quarter windows make A/C unnecessary (at least on reasonable days), and the sounds running up through the gears...well, you guys know.

I'm now thinking that a bit of work on a few rust bubbles on a door and some surface rust cleanup on the pan is probably going to be the extent of my "full resto" for a few years. A correct black 67 interior is on the list too (almost there) but the hell with tearing this thing down to the shell right now, It drives too nice as is (thanks again Wolf!)

I'm pretty lucky to have a modern version of an early S to compare the old car to. They're both great cars...twins separated by 37 years of development. I Have to include my two favorite pics of this one as well, early S or not. Enjoy...

Ryan, your car looks fantastic!
I thought I would continue the Australian flavor with a few updated pics of my 69't...

That looks like a Becker Mexico. Good Taste. I purchased one a year ago and had Becker go through it for a nominal fee. I put it in my 72 and fits great. I have seen that these were around a $1500 option in the day, but I have not seen any that were put into a Porsche and no reference to "Mexico's" in the option codes. Only Lamborghinis, Ferrari, and Mercedes seem to be originaly equipped with these. Was this a special option for this E?

Had car lowered, doesn't look like a 4x4 anymore.

Phil,
Looks great!

Phil:

What a neat picture. This could have been used by the factory to sell a few of them back in the day.

My 73T targa

Following Peter's request, I am including a picture and a few comments of my car.

Car is a 1967 S, #306998 S, European version. I don't know how or when it went to the US, but it does have a pink slip title from California dated 1988. My friend bought it from that person in 2002 and imported it into Mexico.

At some point of it's life, apparently while in California, the car was altered to get the 930 fat look. It was bought that way by my friend, who imported it into Mexico. I bought it a few months ago with the advise and help of another very good friend of mine, also a member of the forum. I became a paying member of the 911S registry and my intention is to get it completely back to what it could have been in 1967. Note that I said, "could have been" and not "the way it was". That is because I always like to do my cars as correctly as possible, but the way I would probably have bought them if I were back to the year their were built. That allows me to play with original colors and original options.

My car was widened and lots of parts changed, but the basics is still there, including the 911S shell, and 911S engine, both numbered very closely appart. I bought a 1965 912 as a parts car and have already been changing lots of parts, including several interior components, hood, front fenders and a few trim pieces and details. My bodyman will have to change rear fenders and a few other things.

As for options, I do have the gas heater, and the car originally had the rear wiper assembly, which was removed at some point. I already purchased one, together with the correct rear lid. I am also looking into purchasing a sunroof.

I am enclosing a couple ofs pic of how I got it, though the car was posted before at the forum by my friend, ( http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...ad.php?t=11828 ) who was considering buying it at that time, but then, graciously allowed me, or I could say, pushed me, into buying it. I am very enthusiastic about the project but will surely be needing tons of help. I am also including a picture of how it is looking today, after removal of all the incorrect parts, and just presenting some of the newer ones I will be using.

It will take some time, but with the help and advise of the board members, I am sure it will turn out to be a very decent looking 1967S.

Car is in Queretaro, Mexico.

Thanks,
Victor

Can't wait to see the outcome!

Here's the link you posted...

I recieved quite a nice surprise packageyesterday from the original owner of Patrick. He gave me his original log book which starts at the day he picked the car up at the Factory.

I am somewhat biased but I believe Canary Yellow and Irish Green were two of the nicest colors in 67; Just my 2cts worth; No I don't have an Irish Green car, but do have a 70T E Conda Green;

Peter,

That is one beautiful car! WOW!:eek:

very nice restauration! You have done a very tasteful work and the car looks very pure and essential as I see the Porsche spirit in 1967. excellent color.

Andreas

Flieger, nice car! :D Looks kind of like mine.

Peter A....lookin mighty fine. Ya gotta bring it out for a tour with a bunch of us this summer. :D

Thanks, Jens. I always like the photos I have seen of your car, also.:cool::)

Peter , looks great! Will you have it at Hershey this year?

Thanks for the compliments fellas; Yes, Dave, I will be at Hershey, but with my van, to cart things I probably don't really need home;

Peter - outstanding!

Found this ol' pic taken with my film camera from several years ago. Many changes made to the car...as they are never finished. ;)

Bob- I think I may have said this before but your car has to
be one my favorites. Very, very nice.

What great color on a beautiful car!

My '72 911E in action at Rennfest '08...

Vic

Great car Vic. Hey, what tires are you running there?

Running Hoosier race tires...

Vic

Here is my project...

Just had mine lowered, so took the opportunity to grab another shot of it....

Roadrunner - great shot, Your car is beautiful - ride height perfect

Just got the "Wench" back from from having the stripes done, wheel spacers installed and ride height adjusted.

My ride, 3.6 powered, 915 trans.....RS based styling.

Geez Paul....that car's quickly sinking into Sports Purpose syndrome. Looking great. Perhaps a pair of H1's next? :D

Paul
Yes, I have my eye on some H-4s', with chrome trim rim and get rid of the sugar scoops. However, I have also found stone guards that were made for sugar scoops - might grab those and instead of having them black, paint them the same anthracite grey - to many options, not enough time or money.

Ya, I know whatcha mean about time and money...none here. Maybe the summer will be good to both of us. :D

when I bought the car last year ..

2 days ago,.. "springbreak"
http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...PICT0001-1.jpg

This is my first drive after replacing the fuel pump and getting the rear sway bar mount fixed.

The 911S rotates much quicker into the turns. It is very lively through the twisties and very light on its feet. It quickly turns and pounces toward the apex now.

A little late to the party . . . but it's been a long year working on my car. Well worth it I think.

Hey, you washed it!;)

Cool car. It sounds great and runs through the curves like a scalded cat!:eek::cool:

Look'n good Tom......... :)

Thanks Chuck . . . I now have a whole new appreciation when honest people describe their cars as 'sorted'. As Flieger (Max) points out I've been so focused on getting it sorted I haven't even thought about washing it. Sometime soon, I'd like to do a write-up and send it to you for Esses consideration. Mostly because the car really represents the knowledge of many people on this forum. I'm just a couple small projects away from being done with it (famous last words). And I hope to show it off soon.

Here is a pic of my 69t I shot today, ready to go for an event on Sunday.

My favourite shot yet, of your car Matt:)

Beautiful pic of a beautiful car! Nice red detail.

Another nice 69 . . . looks great in green

Nice shot...and I like the "meatball".

John

Now look at zis:

(1973 1/2 911t targa 2.4 w/ K-Jetronic) color 8080 not to mistake with the 1972 gold, which is less yellow

Beautiful color! Gold is a nice color but yours is a knock out.

now that I finally figured out how to load a picture, here it is my 1973 911s targa with original motor upgraded to rs specs

Here is my Light Yellow (117) after a morning of cleaning. Wheels were done by Al Reed. The last shot is of Tony's refinished sport seats in houndstooth

Here comes a little report from Sweden:)

This is my S/T-project based on a 73T Coupé. My goal is to have a FIA homologated racecar finished this year. Engine is still in parts collecting stage but will be a shortstroke (66mm) 2.5 liter race engine.http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o.../Martini46.jpg

Recent Hill Country Rally

Out for a Saturday afternoon blast through the twisties:

This is Esther, one of my 72 S's. These were taken during judging at the San Diego parade. By the way the engine compartment judge wasn't able to find any dirt. (bless him!) She is a Euro market car with power windows, 22 gallon gas tank, rear wiper, and after restoration is now back to her original signal yellow. She's been mine for a little over ten years.

here is 9113300310 sold new in Genoa IT in early 73. I've been associated with the car since 1988.

It's finally targa time in MT.

First time under its own power in 15 months


Still lots to do - Interior - RS door panels, straps for widow lifts, new seats, harness bar and harnesses. Exterior - Talbot bullet mirror and drilled door handles in flat metalic gray like the rest of the trim.

Oh yea - its a 912 - sibling to Flo - a 69 912 Targa currently being repainted to Champagne Yellow.

Bravo, Don,

you have outdone yourself. It's beautiful, done in exquisitely good taste, and if the mechanicals are as good as the overall execution seems to be, it should be perform faithfully for a long time.

Love the wheels.......looks like the rear bumper has truly found a worthy home. ( are those Tilton's graphic stipes ? ).

Best of luck with "Jack"

JZG

Thanks John. Your car was some of the inspiration as well. The outside door handles are being painted and should be ready soon. Yes - those are Bob's graphics. I used a curved PORSCHE on the engine lid and I am not sure if I like it or am happy with it. I think I managed to get the P a bit out of line - but it depends on what angle you are looking at it from. The wheels are amazingly light and always have been my favorite ever since a friend of my brother put them on his 70 T back "in the day".

The brakes are upgraded to ventalated and cross drilled rotors. The suspension has all been redone with Elephant Racing components - including the Adjustable Spring Plates. It corners like it is on rails and also rides very nice on the highway. I am taking it down to Chuck's shop on Friday for a "massage" - alignment and corner balance since it has lost about 200 - 250# (or mabe more :D )since it was done before, the battery was relocated to the Smuggler's box and ER Quick Change Camber Plates installed.

A rebuild of the original engine from the car is on the schedule - hopefully next winter. I have been gathering parts. Meanwhile - as used one I purchased about 5 years ago runs very strong (but has a minor oil leak on one of the push rod tubes). The transmission is one of the best shifting I have ever driven - I'll probably just freshen the seals while it is out.

In a word: Wow.

I second the WOW!!!... and raise'ya a WHOA!!!!


I love those above shots...... makes the car look like a minature... ;)


Here's one I took some years ago from the bridge between 13 and 14 at Thunderhill... :)

Thanks, got lucky it came out ok. Beautiful car Chuck!

I tried to make the photograph look "vintage" by not including any contemporary elements into the frame, and adopt unusual angles inspired by flipping through old Christophorus magazines.

Proof that 911s look great from all views. We need more top view shots!

From last weekend.

Mr Tilton your car is without a doubt one of the most beautiful cars around:eek:

Here is mine. Nothing like these other great looking cars posted here, but I think it works. I waited for the exact time the train would make it's stop in my town of Martinez, CA. to take this shot. After this picture I decided to get rid of the black torsion covers and bumper lower light covers. What you don't see in this picture is the police car and cops behind me that threatened to tow my car for trespassing :D

Freddie, I like the train in the background...good light too. You should have got a pic of the cops.

Yeah, lose the cover plates, they just add weight...:)

Great cars & beautiful pictures.

Bob, you have raised the game again :). Love the photo's!!! Your car never ceases to impress me.

Rich, if you look closely on the door reflection you will make out the cop car. Cool cops they let me take one last picture before kicking me out. Later that week I came back to the same place with a permit given to me by a city official whom adores and owns a Porsche. He told me take as many as you want all day. He said I also I'm good friends with the police chieft whom loves these cars also....they won't bother you anymore. Love it. :cool:

Milou and Chuck .... great shots, of some of my favorite cars ...

Here is a shot from last fall, looking down on a lot of cars .... at TRE ...
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3sz7RF0sfV...3201%2Bbis.jpg

The Tangerine '73 S ended up with some doctors in Canada I hear. I still have the white one.

"I should have kept that one." How many times have I said that?! :(

for some reason it was not working .. trying again with link to pic

PHOTO EXPLORATION: I want to add motion shots to my bag of tricks. Went out and explored with panning and shutter speed today. Trying to find that balance of motion and sharpness. For the most part it was a FAILURE but a lesson learned for my next outing.

Car piloted by my good friend John Gray.

Balancing motion with subject is a tough deal with a digital camera. Probably all you can do is snap a million shots and save 'the one'. :D

Here are a couple shots from a new angle on the top turn of "the Snake"

Forgive the short hood, the previous owner did not know what he was doing.:rolleyes:

This car just keeps getting older :rolleyes:

Buttonwillow earlier this year :D

As purchased - about to get a bunch of parts stripped off and replaced with period correct items.

Hope you dont mind - not much you can do with it, but this may help. Great composition!

Curt,
It's funny,:eek: a pic of your car showed up the Rennlist 911 BB asking why anyone would need so many headlights.

Ok, finally signed up. I've had the pleasure of meeting many of you at Sherwood's "coffee meets" in the Pasadena/LA area over the last few months and thought it was about time to show my ride.

73 911T 3.2 in original color, gold metallic.

sorry, double post??

I like gold more everytime I see it, beautiful car!
