This man gets it. Singer builds amazing cars. True works of art. But when you tweak something to perfection as much as they do, you begin to lose the original soul of the car. Taking an early 911 and upgrading it, while still exercising a level of restraint, is truly the way to go.
@@allensaunders449 It just depends what you want. Singer is awesome but if you want an updated car that feels like an early 911, this is the way to go. Singers are essentially modern cars in an early style body shell. And there is nothing wrong with that either.
I'm back from the future it's Feb 2022. And this guy has the Enthusiasm you want all car guys to have no matter what they drive. But especially, a Kick Ass 911
Go to the 911 guy channel driving two. Reimagined 911s from wurks not gunther. Sorry forget the first name of the company great sound great cars. It will pop up for you
The dream car IMO Thank you especially for the part from 4:00 to about 4:34 for that glorious and visceral engine noise Keep it up Just found out about this channel and i look forward to viewing further content
Hi Tom! Very cool video. I have an outlaw style 84 and I was just wondering if you had the specs on the wheel/tire combo on this car? Seems like it's sitting just right. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Great to see an owner who loves his car...I would love to have a Singer (wouldn’t we all that are watching this!) but I get him.... I have an Alfa 105 backdated to a 105 GTA....I love it...could I get an Alfaholics one? Well yes..but I am being honest....a 250k+ car that I would worry about...my one..well...I drive it... Oh and he mentioned fibreglass...well I know some would turn their nose up at that material now that we have carbon fibre....BUT...in my opinion...it’s just as authentic (if not more) because glass fibre etc in all its composites...WAS the carbon fibre of the 1960’s (and even now in many cars) Well done on this chap...plus I agree with another commenter here..Petrolicious has gone down another (although still enjoyable to watch) route.... Enjoy your car.....
People who really know cars will appreciate the price for what you are getting. I would not hesitate to buy at that price if I had the money. Others would just splash it out on a modern all guizmo's software data microchip computer on wheels that does everything for you. Not me. Old really is gold.
That’s the problem when you have half a million plus to blow on a single car. It’s tough to just stop and be satisfied. Have to keep looking for that unicorn. Seen that happen to several wealthy car guys.
The only way to restore a Porsche, is to your own liking. It’s your foot and hands that are in sync with the machine. You have to feel it like it’s your heart. Owner of a 72 911t
2:28 The car was originally modified by who in Germany? Was it Auto Knoll just outside of Munich? Just curious as I worked there while going to school at the LMU (Uni) in Munich...
Nice ride. I have a 71 St clone and was interested to know the displacement of your motor as you stated it was around 330hp? We an only run 2.3 litres in historics in Australia?
I believe he stated it is a 3 liter. I'd take that 330+ HP claim with a whole shaker of salt, especially since he obviously hasn't dynoed the car. I have a full house hotrod with a 3.5 liter. Cost no object build. ITB's, twinplug, modern FI, Motec, custom everything- wiring harness, cams, pistons, headers, exhaust etc. Each part chosen with the idea of how they will work with one another. Not a single part on the car was chosen arbitrarily. Full custom mapping tune by a shop that really knows Motec. My motor has 330 HP.
@Darren Hill Sure anytime. The headaches of my build were significant. It took nearly three years because of supply chain issues as well as major issues with the wiring harness from Rassant. The harness was all wrong. Several connections were misswired which created a cascade of other issues. Not knowing that the harness was incorrectly built, my shop hooked it up and the first time they started the motor, the custom Motec controller blew. That required us to have a new one burned from Motec in Australia (a six month wait). My shop and another even more specialised shop had to spend 120+ hours tediously testing rewiring each pin on the harness. Pretty ridiculous for a $24K harness that should have been perfect from Rassant. We received poor support from Rassant. Luckily we managed to get the wiring diagram and some other key info from one of their techs. As luck would have it, at exactly this time Rassant's shop went out of business. They stopped answering our phone calls even before that. When we received the new controller, we didn't have anyone to get baseline parameters for it in order to tune the car to a drivable level. It all had to be programmed from scratch by an electrical engineer that specialises in Motec programming. Lots of dyno time. To add insult to injury, the car had to be shipped halfway across the country to the second shop. There wasn't anyone with that kind of know-how anywhere close to us. Those are just some of the problems we encountered. I think there are only a few shops in the US that have the skill set to pull off a build like this. It simply isn't something that someone could do in their garage with some help from the forums. I tell you, the first person that gives me the "bought not built" line is going to get an earfull. Lol. It's an amazing car now with an amazing motor, but if I had to do it all over again I would have built a really rowdy 2 liter cup car with good ol' fashioned carbs. It wouldn't be as quick, but there's a lot to be said for a car that you can tune yourself; and you don't lose so much hair along the way. Take care and good luck. Sorry for the book.
@@overbuiltlimited same issues in Aus, specialist mechanics are rare, just put my twin plug weber carb 3lt in my 76 Carrera till find mechanic to rebuild original motor.
A true 911 Classic, as an ST recreation for example, will never be less beautiful or less interesting than a Singer… the 1st pencil stroke has been the best for good… proportions, style, glam, efficiency, smell, character, and above all timeless… I’m not so convinced that Singers cars will…
* * * THIS GUY SAID EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING * * * I COULDNT OWN A SINGER BECAUSE ITS TOOOO PERFECT..... i am the same way ! ! ! i need something with some patina , some starches , swirls in the paint. maybe a ding or two ( some rock chips , etc ) .... need something i can take out in the canyons alone and not be afraid of coming back home with some more rock chips etc.
It's appropriate. I have a 75 carerra with a 2.7 rs motor, carburetors , 8k redline, etc. When the engine is warm and you come on the cam at 3500, it is visceral just like a muscle car.
GREAT car- and yes 911's sound magnificent - but honestly that sounded like it desperately needed oil to me- super mechanical clatter- not a normal air-cooled sound at all to my ears.

Now that petrolicious has moved to a new format, I’m glad to know I can find that classic owner narrated style here!
Slowly but surely finding the owners to the most beautiful classics possible!
She's a beauty, she's one in a million cars! Got one, too. And erverytime we film a new one, it's amazing, too...
The ultimate someday car, in my opinion. Lovely film!

Love when a new video pops up from this channel, especially this one. great story.
James - love the stance of this 911 and the sound of that Flat-Six! Amazing. Great video!

Beautiful car.
Am I the only one that noticed the Porsche letters on the doors are different style on the left door?
Sounds good!
I like cars with some character 🏎️🔥
Dream car. I own a 993, used to own a 997. I seem to keep wanting an older Porsche every time I buy one. How much do these sell for?
The old ones are so lovely and timeless. A proper ST rep, similar to this, would land somewhere around the 2-300k range I'd suspect.

OEM on a ‘73. flares were added tho. both front and rear i believe.
