The most famous 911S in the world

[cog]

I went to the "rabbit hole" and saw this car on the Internet Movie Cars Database. John Paul Sr asked me to build this car to wreck for a movie. We took the rusty Flintstone floor car and the gearbox that sang and the motor that smoked and made the car run. Of course it ran like a raped ape and turned out great. Try to make a bad one and it turns out good! John paul put the 935 body work on the car and it was actually attached to a thin cable that pulled all the bodywork off at the intended place of the accident. The car was acyually a 1971 911T. I love the scene where Dom DeLuise leans over into the engine bay with perfectly clean manicured hands with perfecly clean Snap on wrenches and the camera zooms in on the Zenith 40TIN carbs and Dom says " Let''s adjust that fuel injection"

Hey David,

I'm thinkin there are at least two of us with the Dirty mind...or is that dirty? Cotton does do a great job on any Pink surface.............the 1975 911 S that is! If I mention the Pink 911 S, then that one would be one of my favorites too! (trying to keep with the "Post" title)

Jeeze Randy, you sure make him look good... er I mean- Jeeze Chuck, Randy sure is lucky to have such a handsome subject!

Great Photograph of a great subject.

That's easy...

Gotta be the "Chuck Miller blue" 1973 911S featured in Excellence a couple of years ago.

Since we mustn't discuss headlight polishing, how about using a nice piece of cotton on a famous 911 windshield? Vic Elford pulling an all-nighter in his 911 Sporto, Marathon de la Route, Nordschleiffe, 1967 (it looks like he already did the lights):

Maybe someone else had already cleaned the lights??

Sometimes the lights had a "protective" rubber or very thin plastic cover on them, this kept things from "penetration" thus breaking the lights. Most of the racing 911 S's used this means of "protection" while in the "Heat" of the battle!

Cibie actually made them that "Protruded" the lens for better "Protection".

Its a really cool photo of Vic doing the front screen alone ! Of course the racing RSR's today have clear plastic sheets that are applied to the windshield. In a 24 hour race the team will install up to 4 clear sheets to really "protect" the glass. They tear them off as they need, during the race.

I don't know which trailer for the movie this one is , and it does not show the 911S. But of the trailers I've seen of this movie , it's my favorite.

(I can't figure out how to post a direct link . And even finding a search title that will make it pop up directly , seems to be hard. But if you start out at.... Videos - You Tube .

Search : Le Mans - Racing is Life - Steve McQueen

Also on the booklet -- There is no Ventura Blvd in Hollywood. I looked for that address and it is in Studio City in the Valley behind Hollywood. Chris
