      Agreed! Much more entertaining.

    Heater controls are likely to open vents to the heat tubes, like the VW beetle - there is no heater core since it's air cooled. AC is likely an entirely different system and I suspect you could have the heater and AC working at the same time.

    That car has a Tea Tray tail, slightly different from the Whale tail.

    When I was a teen in the 80's I got to detail a customer's 1983 911 convertible. They purchased it for $33,000 as a used car. It is interesting that almost 40 years later the car is still priced nearly the same.

    The most beautiful shape 911. Very cool

    I love the 911, but a convertible top is the worst thing you could ever do to one.

    Great car and design. They're a solidly made vehicle.

    can't the valet get into the locked frtrunk since they have the keys to park it? hence they could unlock the frtrunk knob?

    • @badgerpa9
      @badgerpa9 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Valet key will not unlock it.

  • @OnkelPHMagee

    Remember that the heater and defroster were designed in the early 1960s for use in Europe. A/C??? NEIN!!

    You guys at TFL do have a real knack for buying quirky cars with a never ending list of problems for your mechanic buddies ( making no wonder they are your 'buddies' )
    In the meantime,... I love those quirky cars of yours. Yes, I'd buy them too.
    That 911 Porsche is simply terrific!

    My mom's Saab had a light on the key... It never worked either... even when we replaced the battery.

    That’s a tea tray. Not a whale tail.

    That's not a rear seat. It's an insurance deduction;)

    Nice era of the 911 and the best part no Turbo no Nannies just proper drivers car, though, prefer a hardtop. Still have to smog this and maintaining it in California would be a handful. A 1975 or older wouldn't have to worry about the smog and just maintain it to run safely 🏎🏁👦🏻👍🏻

  • @jeep2003
    @jeep2003 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    better loosen up that tail release or you will be in for a bad day when the cable breaks. Wipers rest on the driver side because they were too lazy to switch them over from euro cars.

  • @burningbarnavit

    It's not just Tesla people bro.. it's just called a frunk. Also, it's called a bonnet, not a hood and the back cover is called either a.. engine cover or hatch.

      a bonnet is something my Amish neighbor lady wears.

    On my 84', if the front trunk won't close, push the handle all the way forward and it will close first try.

    Good job Tommy ..but when you checked the Porsche 911 oil there was none on the dip stick you guys better make sure there is oil in it..

    • @jeep2003
      @jeep2003 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Wrong you check it when at idle warm on flat ground. Dry sump so the oil goes down into the engine when its not running.
