@@hagestad gotta disagree, Ferdinands first super light weight coupe the type 64 he entered in racing was beautiful, really shows where the style, and where Porsche ethos and functions originated. To this day the 911 is still the only rear engine axle layout car being manufactured… chris Harris did a wonderful high short video on it, it’s a must see, you well not be disappointed.
20 or 30 years ago a replica was just for someone who couldn't afford the real thing. Now the real things are worth so much money most who can afford them will never drive them anyway. I am just glad there are a few replica manufacturers who produce well made cars and kits for those of us with more modest incomes.
Silly game, isn't it? Never did understand people who own a car they don't drive. Had a friend who's rich dad's original ferrari 308 never saw anything but the garage.
I was actually happy to see this was a Beck which makes it much more relatable than if it were an original 904. I stopped by the Special Editions shop in Bremen (in the middle of Nowhere Indiana by the way) a few years ago and they had a few 904s in the shop but none to actually sit in as they were at different stages of completion. Chuck Beck's son was working on a GTS up on a lift at the time. Got the grand tour and they were very accommodating.
Ahh beck is in Baldwin park calif..his bodies come from bajia calf...friends often see them cross early mornings...and 904 there's enough parts out there to build a original from different clubs
Thanks Magnus ,for just a great detail view of this 904 .There is also Barry in the UK who has been making these 904 replicas for as long as Beck Has, The company is called Martin & Walker, and they are at Thurston race track in England , he only builds one car at a time , his cars are as good as the real 904 , he use the 3.0 litre Porsche engine, worth checking out,
This is how a car video should be made! So many TH-camrs have terrible camera work - they show the host and the guy interviewing and very little car. Very professional video. Awesome car, love it. Had the pleasure of meeting Chuck Beck at Sebring many moons ago. Have the same Quick Release on my 911. Love that 904
I was just at the Petersen Museum in January, and they had a Magnus display in the basement. It was cool to get up close with his cars. On the way out, who comes walking in but Magnus, excitedly leading a young kid and his family while telling some (non-Porsche) car tidbit. It was cool to see his enthusiasm. Lucky kid! I would have had a million questions for Magnus but it was the kid's day that day.
The 904 is as beautiful a body style as Porsche has ever built, in my opinion. I remember pulling up to a traffic light in my van right next to one in 1972 in my hometown of Fort Lauderdale. From my elevated perch the 904 seemed to be part of the road itself. One of the most beautiful car designs ever.
904 is my favorite of all time! I like the Beck and would like to own one, if not the real thing. One thing about replica/homage cars, they are never driven by fakers but rather true enthusiasts! Great video
I love this replica. I doubt that there are many 904’s that have been hot rod like this Beck. I bet back in the day the 904 transmission wasn’t a pleasure to shift.
Absolutely gorgeous machine. What has me distracted is David's voice. He reminds me of Stephen Russell, the voice actor for a lot of Bethesda characters (particularly Mercer Frey from Skyrim or Nick Valentine from Fallout 4). I can't help but hear one of those two characters standing here talking about a Porsche. 😆
A customer of the shop I worked for in Canoga Park, CA from 2017 to 2021 had one of these with a 964 engine. I changed all the hemispherical joints in the suspension on that car in 2018 I believe. It has a true lightweight race suspension, you DO NOT want to engage with potholes for the life of you. A Wevo transmission rear cover can help a lot with shifting when converting the tranny to mid engine car.
What a great design. Being a Ford fan in the '60s I looked at the Porsche entries as field fillers but they always won their class and finished pretty high up overall. They also had the Targa Florio which they were pretty good at too. People always critisize Ford for the amount of money they spent to win LeMans, but considering how long Porsche raced before their first LeMans win, their cost had to make Ford's effort look like a drop in a bucket.
The 904 has always been one of my favorites. A lot of people will say they wish they were wealthy enough to afford one. I say, I wish for a time before things changed so much and these were just cheap old race cars that nobody except real hard core car guys wanted.
That motor sounds amazing! This would be such a great run-about car, I would not spare the miles, especially in California. Although I think it's snowing around CA today...a real beauty that one is.
Nice video of 904. Can see what attempt was. As a purist though, its silly to mess with the original. Was well sorted already as stock. Interesting 🤔 conversion. But I'd take the totally stock version as it rolled off factory floor.
Sh!t, I’d be overjoyed to just ride shotgun with Mr Keens! What an awesome car. Even if Ihad the money I’d always prefer a well done replica over an original. Sports cars are for driving not hording.
Be careful going up, "The Hill". I got a ticked there going a bit too fast. Great road though, if a bit short. I can hear the sport bikes ripping up the hill from my house.
I have a 73 914 with a 3.2 and a 915 trans with a Vellios side shift kit. And it is an amazing car. But I think I would trade for a 904. It's just so special and really beautiful.
A Broadley Lola T73b would be an interesting comparison once you have driven one of these as the 904/6 is a road racer. Scared the shit out of me just how fast they are
The 904 has such a timeless look
Porsche is good at timeless looks.
@@Holmesson that's Lola mk6 looks not porsche. Porsche made more ugly cars than good looking in its entire history before VW merger.
@@hagestad Porsche родил VW по сути. Volks Wagon Kaiser это первый автомобиль Porsche.
@@hagestad кроме 914, уродливый здесь только ты.

The stance, wheels and tires look absolutely ace. Just perfect.

my grandpa used to race this car in rallys during the late 60's here in Ecuador. Very cool

Those HRBB steel wheels look amazing. Time to get a set for my 944!
David Keens has a garage only dreams are made of! Good lord does this thing just sound sooooo epic!
my alltime favorite Porsche
The filming is sooo Magnus signature ❗️David must be pleased ❗️I love it❗️👌

I met him once in passing at Amelia Island. Super cool guy.
Everytime I think I've seen my favourite porsche, I stumble across a video like this...
Closest ever got to the 904 was a slot car...built 1/32 scale...loved it!
Great car David! Thanks for the ride Magnus!

Was fortunate enough to drive alongside this car last Friday on the 110!
My most beautiful holy grail car…the 904 is it for me….i love all of them and the 917 is right up there but the 904 ticks all my box for a classic!
The visuals of these videos 😮💨👌🏾
David is one of the best guys you can meet!
Exhilarating to say the least. Miss my days with my 550 spyder tribute repro...the scenery and filming were fantastic. Thanks for the awesome content.
You’re living the dream, David. 👌
Yesss, OPP!!! 904 is such a timeless design - great film!!🔥
David built a really nice car and he seems to be a really nice guy. Thanks for showing the car, cheers from Germany :)
That thing is beautiful. I love the wheels too.
I never knew about this model. It's got all the right lines in all the right places.
Same until I got a hotwheel model of it and then I did a research
Cheers to the sound/sync-guy, and David Keens.
my fave content on YT right now, cannot believe this is free
904 is my favorite of all time! I like the Beck and would like to own one, if not the real thing.

A bloody nice pair of blokes with a bloody nice car 😎
Oh man, you gotta love the Classics!
I love this replica. I doubt that there are many 904’s that have been hot rod like this Beck. I bet back in the day the 904 transmission wasn’t a pleasure to shift.
that's badass brother, wicked wicked wicked dream

Enjoyed From The Caribbean 🇻🇨
I see one of these around the neighborhood every now and then. I thought it was a Dino the first time I saw it.
I love that 904 I love the rims even more. That is more fun then a real one for sure.
Absolutely gorgeous machine. What has me distracted is David's voice.

Keep this series up! ❤
Really enjoying this content , living my dream on owning a Porsche through these videos 👍🏻
Well done video! This is exactly what I was hoping to see on your OPP channel.
I love that car and San Pedro.
Great video Magnus
I met you at Brands Hatch in 2018.
True gent to my son and I 👍
Excellent episode!!!
Super cool video. I’m a car geek and just learning of this channel. You gota a new sub!!
Great, our senses are warmed up now- ready for some Bozzy laps in a 917K.👍
stunning design , very beautifull !

Awesome car! Thanks for the review.
Reminds me of a Dino. Beautiful car!
Fantastic car..And it's cool to see how in the US you guys love to improve always something on a Porsche..that's pretty outlawish ;)
Such a beautiful car!! New to the channel and enjoying it very much, thanks! Throttle down from Chicago ✌️
Nice work David!
This car has such a beautiful profile.

I was lucky to work on one of them that made first in class at pebble beach.
A dream car forsure.. love it.
Such a beautiful car and video! 👌
Love it!Great car.Love to see this in person soon😍
The 904 has always been one of my favorites.
A lot of people will say they wish they were wealthy enough to afford one. I say, I wish for a time before things changed so much and these were just cheap old race cars that nobody except real hard core car guys wanted.
That's pretty , cars from this era are just the greatest .
Gorgeous car!! Beautiful
Una auténtica obra de arte,hecha por una marca que lo es todo en la automoción deportiva!!!!!
love the visual!
Reminds me a bit of my old Lotus Europa Twincam, delicate, vague shifter feel, weak transaxle. But when everything is working, it's all nice.
Great sounding engine.
Beautiful car
Such a wonderful car.
That car sounds amazing, one day I'm going to get me some kind of porsche
Magnus demonstrating how to get in and out, priceless
Beautiful car. Thank you
That motor sounds amazing! This would be such a great run-about car, I would not spare the miles, especially in California. Although I think it's snowing around CA today...a real beauty that one is.
Ahh those Volvo door latches,, those are good for custom work.
Nice video of 904. Can see what attempt was. As a purist though, its silly to mess with the original. Was well sorted already as stock. Interesting 🤔 conversion. But I'd take the totally stock version as it rolled off factory floor.
Awesome car,cool vid 💪😎
Simply gorgeous.
Astounding! 💯💯❤️❤️🤙🤙
Such a cool hotrod
It’s my unicorn. Like the Cayman’s cool grandfather
Magnus is the man!
Amazing car!
Of all the Porsche models, my first pick would be this and then a 914, of course with a 6.
Such a beautiful car.
Does the beck gave the steel center bar if the original
Got to drive an original in the 70's
No 2.9, a 3 liter
Man I remember this dude way back when I was playing need for speed
What do you think about the 904 Beck recreation?
Or is there a better company doing recreated 904s?
I truly am interested.
For me is fantastic 😎🏁
Stunningly beautiful. But why is the ignition lock on the right side? Were 904s like that?
Lol rocking those sbs
Sh!t, I’d be overjoyed to just ride shotgun with Mr Keens! What an awesome car. Even if Ihad the money I’d always prefer a well done replica over an original. Sports cars are for driving not hording.
Very nice 👌🏻
What a dream car !
Be careful going up, "The Hill". I got a ticked there going a bit too fast. Great road though, if a bit short. I can hear the sport bikes ripping up the hill from my house.
A close second to the 914.
914 - There is no substitute.
917
I have a 73 914 with a 3.2 and a 915 trans with a Vellios side shift kit. And it is an amazing car. But I think I would trade for a 904. It's just so special and really beautiful.
Hello Magnus
I saw your interview on Worn & Wound, thought I'd check out your channel ☮️
It's beautiful
A Broadley Lola T73b would be an interesting comparison once you have driven one of these as the 904/6 is a road racer. Scared the shit out of me just how fast they are
