By the way, nice to see your daughter on a Porsche event. Mine sees Porsche almost with disgust and when her mother drives her with the cabrio 997 to a place, she asks for discretion! She doesn't want to be seen in a Porsche! I don't give it up to change her mind, but it's a big challenge

Hello Maspirito,

My homely 73S. Originally Gemini Blue...why someone changed that over the years I'll never know. Probably the same guy that installed the late mirrors. Time is coming soon for restoration. Has Recaros, Sunroof, Limited Slip etc.
Jason, there's nothing homely about your car. The mirrors have got to go.
I know, I know...I've got the correct mirror here....somewhere!
Congratulations, looking forward to read the restoration chronicle :)Quote:

I like the color Jason, but if or when you do the restoration go back to Gemini Blue. You must know someone that can help you with parts. ;)
It'll definitely go back to Gemini....it just baffles me that someone would change it at some point. Yup, I've got a pretty good parts guy too!

I went to my mechanic to see a friend rebuilding his RS 2.7. He bought it about 30 years ago for 20'000 $ and should be able to sell it 400'000 $ soon. He already get some people interested in, it's too late guys…
It's a Touring version (he has to replace the front bumper), first series, (number 087), matching numbers for body, engine and gearbox! And she will be «état concours» in march. Just a dream.

Car was puchased new at Rittersbacher Porsche in Kaiserslautern Germany by a gentleman Don Stanton who was in the USA Airforce. Don owned the car up until 2003 when he passed away. The second owner did a partial restoration on it in 2004 . I purchased the car last year and have been working on it ever since. The car has almost 157000 original miles on it,5500 of which I have put on it. Car drives like new, just have to work a few MFI kinks out of it which I am learning is normal. Love driving it and the whine of the 2.Ltr. Hoping to rally all the Long noses in SW Ontario CDN for a get together in the Spring. I would really appreciate anyone knowing Don Stanton and or the car to contact me.

Oh-yeah . . . welcome aboard, Michael
Nice car, nice colour, more pics please.
Welcome more pics!!!
My 72 Targa 9112111017 was purchased in Maryland and now resides in TX.
It has been converted to PMO Carbs all original parts came with the car should I wish to convert back to MFI. Going to dive it for a while before I decide to keep as is or restore to MFI.
It has wonderful paperwork, including the original dealer invoice and every service doc from 1972 - 2013. This even includes the service documentation whilst it was in Germany. The original owner was military and took the car with him where ever he was stationed (I have the invoice from Maersk Shipping for the transport of the car to Germany).
I plan on returning more of the cosmetic details back to original (radio, remove speakers in door panel) and maintain the 911T for a weekend fun car for me and the family.

No issue, you get used to it. The only downside is passing trucks or vans where you cant see through, just hang back see the gap and then enjoy the sound of the exhaust ringing off the side of their vehicle.
This is my 1967 912 with a 1983 3.0 SC motor and 915 transmission.

I will definitely bring it or one of the others down to a cars and coffee in Sarasota. I took it back to The Creative Workshop in Dania for some fine tuning to hopefully make it a perfect car.
And thank you to everyone for the congrats and comments on my car. And if anyone is going to Amelia in 2 weeks, I will be showing the 1956 Cooper MKII "Bobtail" at the Amelia Island Concours and would love to say hello.
Reminds me a bit of the Arena Red used on the 993 and Boxster.

The Porsche is numbers matching 1970 911E, Australian delivered with S spoiler, sunroof, etc. in Light Ivory.

Attachment 285588 Took a friend's 912/6 out one Spring day (October) in Western Australia and blew a few of 2013's cobwebs away, including the funeral of my mother. I don't yet own a 911 and never considered an early model. I'm now a convert. Its rawness made me concentrate more on the car and the road and this, I think, makes the earlier cars almost a panacea to our busy lives. But, of course, you must find time for a few hours driving in the hills. This is a 1967 original right-hand drive VIN 354851 and has its 753027 912 engine safely crated away while it runs a slightly warmed 2.4. I must buy it ....

Currently I have a ’71 T which is in the photo and I have been saving up over the last 18 months to get her repaired. While she is not investment grade she is all metal, no sun roof and I intend to drive her daily. I am sure there will be those amongst you that think this is sacrilege but I love the smell, the sound and the whole experience of these early cars. I am hoping to get her back in 2/3 months.

Welcome! Set up a separate thread for the restoration. Can't wait to see it...
It has been a while since this car has been posted up here. I really missed driving it and it is almost done. I did, however, manage to do a little drive as an appetizer prior to completion. I forgot how much I like driving this and listening to that 2.2S motor sing...
Scott,
Car looks great, love the clean sano look.
Phil
Scott,
the rear view, with painted bumperettes and the louvered license plate panel is particularly striking.
Well done !
JZG
Looks great Scott
You would have thought with all the miles I have spent following you I would have remembered the louvered rear panel, but I honestly didn't remember this was on your hotrod. Looking good among the gigantic grain storage bins. Are those near the airport?
Looks really good Scott. Nice and clean. A style more should emulate instead of hanging Christmas tree ornaments all over the cars.
I like it, too. Nice Scott!
Scott, it's been too long since we've seen that pig at an event. Good to see it out on the road, looking good.
Newly improved
Attachment 287957
Sweet, Scott. That fresh muffler paint needs some heat cycles to patinate ;)
Thanks guys. This mayaswell project turned into way more time than I planned. Plus new job with lots of travel and this sh--y winter equals little forward progress. Rest assured, this will again be my road trip ride. That ought to patina the muffler for you Reza. Still fine tuning the carbs and ride height. Going to the Spring Grove Skunkwerks for that.
Bryan, louvred LP panel is a new addition from sithot through Gib. Or I could just say that you must be getting old to not remember it. I hesitated for a bit to install it due to louvres being another's signature mod, but in the end decided screw it, I had this long before all the postings about louvres on deck lids and drilled handles. I mounted it anyway. Yes, I found the grain bins out near the airport as I was out tearing up the countryside. Thought they might be a good backdrop for a silver 911.
Yep Dave, stickerless is the way to go for the silver car. Might add some color to the interior though.
Scott,
Very well done...I believe it's been a few years since you and your car traveled east....what do think, it's about time for a return visit to the east side,,, maybe add some of that "patina" Reza is talking about?
The new rear and exhaust looks "right"...as one would expect, very well done!:cool:
Thanks for sharing....
Mike
The car has balance Scott; just the right amount of forward rake, stance is damn near perfect, wheel/tire combo works great, the Urban In-Law rear panel looks right. Moreover, it allows more cooling airflow around the muffler = sports purposeful. ;)
It'll be back soon with fresh syncros, more compression and twin plugs

The problem I found with alternatives to Glasurit was that the metal flake was larger. For the paint to look right on my other '72 hot rod, I ponied up $1600 for a gallon of Glasurit.
Yes was pricey but worth it.no idea why the po would have wanted silver but it was his car then I guess

My car......work in progress. It's not numbers matching but I have a 1970T donor car for all the right stuff I need for the most part. So I have a question. Restore or make a fun lightweight daily driver. No air no sunroof 1970 Conda Green. "Oscar" is the exact car I was looking for. What would you do?
The trend and smart money seems to be into original restoration these days. And you've got such a cool color as a base for a resto. But at the end of the day, it's your car, your enjoyment, your call... regardless of any opinions - do whatever floats your boat ! ;-)
