1969 Porsche 911 T: Maximum Pleasure, Minimalist Package
Amazing machine!
I’m a Porsche enthusiast, a year ago I was thinking of creating the ultimate collectible piece for Porsche lovers and I come up with this idea: https://kck.st/2EhRWCV I decided to build a CNC Fuchs replica wheel for my self and now I’m sharing the project with the community. The project was posted on Kickstarter a few weeks ago to see the response from the community. You guys are free to check it out, thanks.
Pretty damn cool, Mr. Gerhardt. I am 80% done on a 4-year bare-metal full restoration of a ’69T, also tangerine. Mine required an engine rebuild, so we’re building to S-spec, which should jazz up the bottom and midrange quite a bit. Mine will be too pristine to take on the Beijing-Paris run, but you got me thinking about maybe refitting my ’67 911S racecar as a rally-car…
I was watching this week’s installment of “KEEP DREAMING” when it was done last weeks video was next up so I gave it another watch. This is by far in the top 5 videos I have had the pleasure to watch. The car and the man were perfectly paired in this relationship. I can’t even see that guy behind the wheel of any other. I believe the way he drives the damn thing has everything to do with the envy this is receiving. Keep on Keeping On Mr. Gerhardt
Great video, beautiful car, wonderful color. The paint is mentioned, but I couldn’t find the name either in the video or with the photo essay. Is it tangerine? It looks a bit different from the other tangerine Porsches I’ve seen, but time of day and other lighting conditions, camera equipment, and image processing methods can all affect how a color looks.
I would LOVE to know where they filmed that sequence in and around those industrial buildings in East L.A. Looks like a private racetrack on a Sunday morning. It feels impossible to find a place like that in L.A. I need to go do some searching for these sites, which are pretty close to where I live.
Of all the Petro films I’ve seen this one nearly made me lose my breath, or something similar?? Nailed it on the cornering. There hasn’t been any Petro, A N Y, Petro, that can touch that scene with the tight assed S curve. Don’t see those any more, at least in Northern CA. Very WPA era. Just sick. Daddy, where is the Director’s Cut??
Great film! My brother had a black ’68 911 T with a targa top. I still remember my first ride in it. I was probably 13 or 14 years-old at the time. Totally spoiled me for any other sports car brand. The feel of the wind overhead, and the wail of the flat six out back…heaven! Thanks for the memory!
Well done. I would say the best driving scenes outside of a Hollywood movie; better actually, because its real.
You guys are constantly pushing the limits of your craft, there’s only one thing missing to go to the next level and I’m sure, as innovative as you are, you’re already working on it.
.. well I don’t concur,for most of my kid-time at home,&thru my marriage it was typical of me to lift out of bed and strain my ear to catch the rev of an approaching neighbors Ducatti,Ferrari,Chevy Bel Air,Saab V-4,912-Abarth… if it was me curled up in my Sears bag under one of those bridges.. I’d be doing the same. Plus us peddle-biker’s prefer the canyons to our own huff’n and puff’n
First of all- its good to see that Glen Frey is still alive..
– Love how you know to drive that car, and throw it around the corners.. you should put a roll-cage in it, fuel cells, and go vintage racing.
– Never turn on the radio .!. just listen to that flat 6
– Love that you’re doing PtP rally.. good luck
– May I ask what vintage car you parted with to get the 2 P cars ?
all the best- Kurt
