David, the shot of the car (quite the 912!) with the leaves is tremendous.
thank you Gents. It is a good 20 footer right now that I am working on to make a good 5 footer.
They both look very nice.
My 2.7 RS 471 #385 just came out of restoration. Everything is original except the roll cage is a replica. Looking to find a factory one. The car delivered with 7+8". The engine is entirely built up on a NOS plain 7R case, because the first owner turned it into a 3.0 engine. The driver seat is a largeST style Italian seat, since I am very tall. Cannot wait to drive it.Attachment 212632Attachment 212633

Please find my Conda Green T, born 1 December 1969 2.2
Proudly re-headlinered by yours truely ( I know ... i forgot to take a picture -will do !). New seals all around.
At some point, will get a re-paint ... but that's in the future
TTG headlamps fitted, worked out the wiring with a kit (so simple) - but will upgrade with a proper relay that i've since bought
Stefan at GTS - sorry - still haven't mounted the new sports seat covers (with Green Houndstooth) as yet - but will 100% do this in the next quarter ... promise !
Today i started dismantling the engine bay of the 1955 Land Rover Series 1 ... bulkhead needs a little welding ... but it is a totally original and matching numbers car ... have collected a loft-ful of parts for it ... it's time !
Very nice Paul, kind of reminds me of the 1970E in my garage. Pics courtesy of Bob T and Jim (jloucks388). Do you have any pics of the slightly modified 69 TangerineT? I have a master plan that includes just such a car sometime hopefully in the not too distant future.

Marc, beautiful car, beautiful location! Roads and scenery in western Canada are the finest in North America IMHO. We don't get there often but Alberta and BC are my favorite places to road-trip. BTW, the Howe Sound Brewery below the Chief has great beer and food, and comfortable rooms. Nice spot to layover before heading back to Seattle... too bad it's nearly impossible to ship a car into Vancouver.
Can't wait to go back, maybe next year with the 356 since last time we took the 911... Sea to Sky, Gold Bridge, the Spring Thaw event... I love that area. :)
Some more shots - engine bay and interior. Note: What looks like overspray on the muffler isn't. I'm told that the coating will take time to cure with heat cycles. The change in colour so far is nearest to the exhaust manifold pipes. One of my favourite details on a 911 is that muffler sitting low below the bumper line with two straps holding it up. No modern car with chrome exhausts can touch this look IMHO.

Marc, simply beautiful that car. I am partial to blue and that color looks fantastic. And what I can see of the rest of the car - wow! Congrats on finishing it. Love British Columbia.
Very pretty car.
S tach to match RS spec engine- nice touch.
Nice Job! Curious you kept the E front leveling shocks?
No self-levelling shocks. In fact I've never seen a 911 with them. Mine came with torsion bars when it was bought. I've read that most self-levelling systems were changed out early on by their owners. Currently I've got the S set up - torsion bars and a sway bar.
Love the color and the stance...the complete job turned out great. Nice to see you are driving it and having a good time.

Does it have any other names? Seeblau, Oxford Blue, Dalmation Blue, twinpipeblue, all the same thing. I guess what you call it depends on the lighting too. :)
Bitchin' Blue.
They're all the same color, just different names for different markets. Bitchin' Blue was for the SoCal market. :D

Nice. (car, photo, and forest). :)
Yeah, nice. The flares look terrific. I may need to pick your brain on sources. :cool: My need for bigger rubber has exceeded my fenders' space.
Thanks guys.. its alot of fun .
it has the 7 x 9 15 fuchs and the flares are metal ST factory ones installed in 1972 at the dealer
No wonder they look so right.
Are the bumpers factory too?
yup they are trim too

John -
Your and your car were one of the big hits, John...wonderful to see you there.
What a great event for the Make-a-Wish kids. This event is NCR's premier event of the year, and it would be great if some of our local Early S'ers could find a way up for next year. We had 127 drivers registered for DE, and 330+ track passes issued...bottom line, over 200 Make-a-wish kids, families and friends. The kids get a chance to ride in the cars, on track, and it is tough to tell whether the kids or the drivers have a better time. Don't know about you John, but more than a few drivers need a minute or two to recover and recompose after letting one of these kids out of their car.
Not shillin' not sellin' just tellin'. An intensely moving experience.
Hank
True Hank - it was overwhelming.
I still haven't recovered, I am still there....
I told Ivy how the last little girl I took around sat there, lap after lap ( I would come in when they told me they had enough and she went to the end ) telling me about her school and the Shakespeare play she was in and anything and everything else in this soft little voice that I could barely hear over the revving engine and the roaring wind, on and on and me with an ear to ear grin thinking how she would have been just as content headed to the grocery store in a Ford Focus....precious, precious, priceless stuff.
All honors to Mrs Cheese and the rest that put it together ( again ).
Very moving. I'm in for next year.

Great job, the car looks fantastic.
Nice work, prez. 1973 911E, it just looks so "right".
Just finished putting together my 72T targa last week after a complete bare metal repaint to its original blutorange. Still working on the interior which Tony at Autobahn is helping me finish. Interior is original dark brown (tobacco), and the car was sold to me with non matching front seats. Will post more once it is completed.
Question for Prez. What is your wheel / tire combination? 7R & Deep 6? Deep 6 all around? Flat 6? Tire sizes? Very nice looking car. Steering wheel looks more elegant than "standard" Prototipo type wheel.

Is that your cave ? Really nice !
welcome Biancaneve.. very nice car... are you italian "snowwhite"?
Hi "LongRanger". Very recent purchase after a long and sometime painful research. The car was part of a collection and when the owner died some time ago the heirs decided to sell it to a dealer that ultimately sold it to me. I was able to track down the owners until 1973 or their heirs and I'm currently waiting for their contribution to reconstruct all the history. S/F stands for "S" model "F", i.e. MY 1973. The sports seats in the picture are modern replica I had installed for safety and comfort but I have the original ones in the storage.
Here some more pics:
The aftermarket stereo loudspeakers were installed in the 70's ... before deciding whether removing them I'd like to know when, who and how ... this is a part of my current enquiry with the previous owners.

Attachment 218905
I've noticed that Europeans (especially Germans) refer to the cars using their O-A-B-C... designation more than the year, which is what most in the USA do.
I think the confusion came from the use of abbreviations here. S/R can sometimes stand for "sunroof". Then there is the S/T racing model. So S/F was a little confusing. If you had said F series 911S we would have understood right away.
My white car is a 911 R/B.:D
Hahaha. :D
R/b 1 - s/f 0 ;)
Interesting. And I'm trying to track down some previous owners, as well
Also interesting --- thank you for that explanation
Looks like you have a wonderful car. Try to post some more 'travel' pics, if you can. I've never been to Italy --- it'd be fun to see where you take your car when you drive, over there

Rick, actually I've never driven it in Italy yet because I live abroad ... maybe in the future :rolleyes:
I have seen your gallery ... nice one you have ... I might be biased but I love Euro specs :D

The Italian Alps, and all the Alps, is what the Porsche car was built for. That is exactly the kind of driving that Dr. Porsche intended.

Thank you. The original color is Champagne Yellow. The black is in really nice shape and will stay black for now. When we restore the car, we'll go back to the yellow.
Looks great Christian. The clean rockers, without trim, is particularly effective with the black paint. Again, it's a great look!
I must agree, that is a great looking 65 911. The stance is just so right. Envy, envy, envy! I'd love to see more shots.

Nice Jim, I love that car. Hotrod? Hell yeah it is! I can testify from first hand behind the wheel.

Randy W. - I finally got rid of the Italian Turn Signal Lenses :)
Hi Sam, I saw the real RSR prototype R3 at the PNW Historics in July. It was a disappointing restoration - your car is so much better. For example, it had the wrong mirror, wrong finish on the wheels, wrong lenses, a plastic rear engine grill from a later 911, wrong interior...
The thing is....the car was badly wrecked at that last event (listed on the rear window) in Edmonton in Aug. 73 with Milt Minter driving, so that not much was left that was usable in a restoration. I agree with Randy, Sam's car is much closer to the original car as it raced in the 73 Daytona race...and it is an outstanding effort in recreating this historic RSR.
Yeah, Gib, I probably should have put "real" in quotes. Sam, you have the best "recreation" of RSR R3 in my mind.
Hi all, This is me driving my beloved 911, chased by a Alpine A110 Berlinette in june 2012, at Montlhery speed track. Such a souvenir.
Attachment 224661
Sam, brilliant car.
Randy, brilliant photograph. (thanks Gib)
Brakekiller (if that is your real name), terrific action shot. I love the historic banking in the background.
Thanks, this is a very well known track in France. Monthlery was very popular in the 20's to 70's with national races. The bank in the background is a half of another part from where you take on where we are the Alpine and I. You take 220 km/h, do not touché the wheel as you are in a 40 degrees bank and you have to look at the bottom of the track (sick) to watch the next chicane. Then you have a huge straight, big brake, 180 turn, few fast turn, another straight, big brake and a bizarre 90 degre curve, a long straight, the chicane and the bank....again and again, just like a funfair.
My real first name is Xavier.
Welcome to the Registry Xavier, and thanks for the description of the track. :) Sounds like a rich historied venue. I have to google it now!

Attachment 226784
A friend and Porsche fan locally found it after I expressed an interest in an early 911 (I had been considering a late 356B/C intially until I drove his '72T). He got a call from the original owner's wife that she was interested in selling it on since it's been driven very little since her husband's passing in the late '90's. I really lucked out as everything fell into place and I was able to buy at a pretty good price. It's got around 85,000 original miles with a supposed rebuild and an exterior respray (in a sightly darker shade than it's original Albert blue) right before the orginal owner passed away. It needs a few items since it's really been in storage, although it has been driven periodically, the last 13 years. I'll need to sort a few oil leaks and I've discovered a few electrical gremlins that seem to be related to dirty contacts and bad grounds. Overall it's a really solid car with no rust and only a few dings and scrapes. I'd love a set of deep-6's but otherwise I'll just leave it as is and enjoy.
