So dude has all these classic Porches, sweet house in the Ozarks, and we aren't even mentioning the 70 series Land Cruiser in the background. Dude's living the good life.
Honestly on the beck, just get a prebuilt "freeway flier" transmission from one of the VW performance shops. They come welded, with better gears, and you will enjoy it a LOT more.
On a smaller power scale, Fiat had a press fit ring gear on the transmission final drive (what the * were they thinking?) the fix is three Dutch dowels to lock the car to the differential housing.
You've gotta love the fact that you never really know what Hoovie will feature next in his videos! Such an eclectic mix makes for surprises and good times. Great work and high production value every time--I just wish my own self-deprecating humor could fuel the kind of results you have earned. ;)
I had the same issues with my VW. I went with a Rancho Performance Transaxle. Get the freeway flyer and tell them what you are putting behind it. They can build a transaxle to cope with the torque. I even had them install a Quaife limited slip.
Hoovie is like a mini Alan Greenspan. Trying to keep his mini economy going. We have to keep helping him and all those who depend on his crazy car spending with our eyeball “like” taxes. Thanks for a great channel, Hoovie.
@@GoldenCrocYou don't know what you're talking about. It's usually electrical issues that plague the 928. The 928 V8 is one of Porsche's most reliable engines, ever.
Sad to hear Apollo's feeling under the weather. As you said, hopefully, it's not the engine. That said, if that orange Porsche was mine, I'd keep it looking the way it is. I got to say, I love those whaletails.
Yeah I believe that front and rear bumper are time period correct race spec replicas/tuning items? I am all about that time period correct tuning, much better and more characterful than 100% original if you ask me. Looks and feels more like what a petrolhead would do to it back in the day.
I'm Arkansas based and I have a few photographer friends that have got to see Leonard's collection. So rad to see them in video format too. That's what I love about North West Arkansas, so many weird rare cars hidden in the hills.
Literally hidden lol, I used to go hiking and would always see an abandoned land cruiser, found out about Leonard’s page and saw him and his brother bought the thing
I love that Lenoard has a No Man's Land (1987) poster in the garage, which is an essential movie to watch for any air cooled Porsche enthusiast! I'm gonna go watch it again.
Must admit I like your eclectic Porsche collection. The Beck is beautiful. Appollo 911 is a hoot. The 928 is gorgeous. and the two old fellas are going to be so interesting and fun to drive. So much more interesting than a new GT3 that puts you in jail before a smile hits. I would be interested in a new Boxster GT4.0 with a stick. Of course, these are all dreams as I have no Porsche and only live vicariously through your goofy channel. Thanks... it is fun.
"Sure it's not gonna start as great and run perfect when you start it in the cold or hot, but who cares. This is a hotrod." Truth. Someone I know once told me "A hotrod is a device that turns money into noise". Sounds like this will do just that. Awesome. I
Right? I do this too. I'm just too excited to let it sit in the garage, I want to get it back on the road as fast as I can. At the time I'm restoring a bmw e36 which was sitting since 2015.
I absolutely adore the 928, and get excited every time I see one. I'm glad to see that yours is a manual. The Beck should have a Beetle or any air cooled Porsche engine in it. As a Subaru engine is down right sacrilegious. Thanks.
I’m just a young mexican stoner that smokes weed on my TH-cam channel, tryna me it out the hood One Day👌 When i look at the top where all the successful people are… there isn’t NO mexicans ):
928's were so under appreciated when they came out. Apples and oranges compared to a 911. 928's are finally starting to get their due and clean lower mileage models are appreciating 👍
Actually the zipped rear plastic windows were standard on the first Targas, so it would mimick a very rare combination. PS : on the Beck, the whine in 4th gear may be normal, not 100% sure but if I recall correctly the 4th gear has straight teeth which naturally tend to make this sound. Like the first gear on the old 3L80 on V12 Jags or the reverse gear on any manual car.
Great to see the 928 is up and running again. As a fellow S4 owner it is great to see your enthusiasm with the car. It's also refreshing to see the Wizard come back around as well.

CIP1 had a bad batch of transmissions a few years ago. I lost my shirt on one from a trans shop. Had to rebuild it literally the day it was installed. Keep an eye out for aftermarket duds!
First off... Your Porsche collection is still better than most. I do have a friend who has managed to acquire more broken 924's and 928'stem anyone I know or have heard of. I think his German graveyard is up to 20 or 25. In truth he would make an interesting episode all on his own. Love the shows. Keep it up
Yeah but you still have the best garage / collector channel. They will be worth it some day, and you can't beat that original signal orange on the 74' Carrera. Stunning.
Put the Targa bar in w/plastic back window, still basically a convertible. Then put slant nose fenders on it. You would have the hardest 911! Also put the 80's recaro seats with the netted headrests in it! Dude Hoovie...Do It!
You should really make the red one gold again. I once saw an original gold targa over a decade ago and it is still one of the most beautiful porsches i've ever seen
Tyler, good call on the targa, it needs to go back to original. The '74 is absolutely beautiful, I wouldn't change a thing. The 928 is really cool and surprisingly sorted, most of them that I come across are ragged out. In any event great vid, thanks!!
8:45 I like the look of the black trim on these cars. This red targa with the black targa bar is great looking IMO. Too bad these cars cost so much $$$ and it is not going to get any more affordable.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Ummm I took extra time to note the spot in the video I was commenting on. Click on the 8:45 time stamp and you will see what car I was talking about. Not sure how you know that the maroon/dark red car with the black targa bar was originally gold. My car is guards red, and this car clearly isn't.
I am glad to see you getting so many Porsche since your channel really kicked off with the Apollo 911. I would really enjoy your channel to focus more on all the different generations and build, restore, and modify the best maybe from each decade.
AS I PREDICTED.... Tyler's 928, the car that the majority of Porschephiles actively hate, will turn out to be the best Porsche he owns, if not the best of all his cars.
@@GoldenCroc I drove mine for just over 19 years and it only stranded me one single time, and it did this when it was over 30 years old. And that is probably my fault for having a mechanic who didn't know what he was doing try to install a new shifter coupler on top of the transmission on the cheap. He got it wrong and 500 miles later it broke, leaving me with 2nd gear on the Bee Line highway near Orlando.
@@Flies2FLL Yeah, I dont doubt it. If you will allow me to go on a bit of a tangent here... Nothing personal about your post, but I find the American fascination of "stranded" quite curious. I have often read "never left me stranded" etc and so on in used car ads, and so on. I have heard other people say their cars have only left them stranded 2-3 times over 10 years ownership (from new), and that is supposedly considered not too bad at all? This, to me as a european, seems incredible. I have never owned a car that has left me stranded a single time, and that includes lots of sub 1000 dollar cars. I dont know anyone that has got a car that left them stranded. Just a different perspective. I can only assume it is a function of the quality of servicing and regularity of proper servicing being way, way less. And perhaps also interest in their car by the general owner. Cheers mate.
@@GoldenCroc Thank you "Golden Croc", I'm sure you would be welcome here in Florida. My spouse is from Belgium and I flew out of Brussels for a time all around Europe for DHL, so I understand the European perspective. I grew up in Michigan south of Detroit and my dad always kept his cars at least 7 years, but by that time the American cars were rust buckets. My first car was a '77 VW Golf [Rabbit] and it had rotted floorboards. When it was 7 years old it really wasn't safe anymore, because when I went 60 mph on one of Michigan's concrete roads, the failed floor pan started a harmonic situation that resulted in a loud "wuh wuh wuh" and the car started to go sideways! This taught me that cars need to be replaced at some point despite how they look. My girlfriend loved that bright Bali green Golf, but I had to sell it. As to the 928, it was the only car I have ever had to have towed. It was 30 years old at the time and had 160,000 miles on it, but the real problem wasn't the car, it was the stupid maintenance that I had done on it. To make a long story short, if you don't do proper maintenance on a car it will break down on you. But in the end, no matter how much maintenance you do, the car will die at some point: That Golf failed completely [I sat down in August of 1984, and the seat fell straight through the floor and hit my parent's driveway due to RUST~], and the 928 just failed a bit. Cars break, we just have to deal with it when it happens.
@@Flies2FLL Wow, thanks for your nice reply. I would love to visit one day, I have never been in the US so far. I am in a quite severe rust territory myself, and it was probably the most common cause of scrapping cars up until the early 2000s. Rust protection have gotten a lot better over the years, and by the early 2000s, most cars had good enough protection to last at least 15-20 years even in this enviroment. This meant other failures took over. Since we have, as many/most european countries do, a quite strict yearly inspection, I would wager an illuminated airbag light is the most common reason for scrapping cars around here, since its an inspection fail. And often uneconomical to fix on old, low value cars unless you can do it yourself. But I realise now while I am typing this I maybe missed the forest for the trees, surely the yearly inspection is what is incentivizing most people to keep the vehicles in ok shape over here, hence a big part why they dont strand people as often.... Anyway, loved the stories; I believe I might be a bit younger than you, so this account of another place and another time I havent experienced myself is very interesting. Cheers mate.
2 of my favorite u tubers combined into 1 channel hoovies garage and the car wizard....these two r living the dream...one guy buys cars to fix up and flip and the other fixes the cars for him and I wouldn't trust anyone but wizard to work on these classic vintage and supercars he does it all. And when those porches r done you' ll have one of the best collection of porches
My 69' 912 has a slightly similar whine. I put in some high quality swepco transmission fluid and it improved. Usually the air cooled engine drowns out the noise.
That’s just too close to bad shades of brown for my taste, but hey, I only got an ‘06 Camry, lol 😂 (86,000 miles though !) my stepmom owned it from new so it’s a family heirloom ! Just put $1,600 into it with new tires 🛞, brakes, battery, full service. Drives like 👍 new, great highway 🛣 gas ⛽️ mileage !
Hoovie, you need Leonard to do your marketing on the next Car Trex when it comes time to set a value on your car. He’s sees nothing but the upside in all cars
@@The911Den I've lusted after a 930 since high school and I blame that movie! I have a 958.1 Turbo but I still have the dreams of my youth! :) Your experience, and dedication to these cars show. You're a true professional.
Geez, I remember when my brother basically gave away his 72 911 T Targa for only $2000 because no one wanted Porsches in the mid 80’s. The thing was 100% original, really clean, and ran great too.
A great video from Hoovie, made almost unwatchable by TH-cam putting 4 double adverts in 16 minutes. Shame on you TH-cam. I get that ad revenue is where it's at but 8 ads in 16 minutes is too much.
That 928 is super sweet. The Spyder is also a beaut. I'd have put much more than a poultry couple hundred miles on it in a year but I'm less spoiled for choice than Hoovie.
On the Beck, I would get a freeway flyer transmission made by "Rancho". I got one in my '70 Beetle that will be getting Subaru swapped. They are made to handle Over 500hp, unlike stock transmissions that are only really made to handle 100 horsepower. Just give Rancho a call, tell them what you want, and they will hook you up. My transmission was $1500.
Get the soft top on the Targa. I've owned both coupe and Targa. When u drive the Targa with the top off you will get the most annoying drumming from the wind. While driving, the air preasure will build up in the back and with no place to go will make you cazy. I bet driving the Targa with the top on would be great fun!
Subscribe to Leonard an the 911 den for Porsche updates. He also just uploaded a video that puts my low quality content to shame: th-cam.com/video/D3hkLXRhdOM/w-d-xo.html
The gear config on the Beck, is a VW "freeway flier" setup where they put a taller bus 4th gear in for freeway cruising. Its notoriously noisy in the 4.12 ring gear config. You need to swap to a 3.88 ring gear type freeway flier setup (and bus 4th gear) and it will be quiet and still have the taller gear set for normal highway speeds. A VW transaxle builder will know how to set this up... its common. Just tell em you want a 3.88
That Cassis Red metallic certainly is an interesting paint color. I remember around that time Mazda had a similar color that I believe they called Sunset Champagne metallic.
I've been a Porsche fan most of my life. My boss used to let me drive his old school boxsters a couple of times. 97 and 2001. Both convertibles. Showed off to all my friends. Lied. It's mine. How you like me now.😂😆😁😅🤑😎
I'm thinking that promotion dried up after they got the exposure they wanted and is no longer an option. Plus the strong chance they spent 5x their normal job time to do the work for him.
No matter what color the Targa gets painted,the Black Targa bar would look better.I never cared for the stainless steel ones.They just show prints and every speck of dirt.
I think you might have a straight cut 4th gear in the Beck, and if that is the case then the noise is totally normal, just an annoying side effect of straight cut gears
Possibly my favorite video you have ever done! Take that with a grain o salt because I’m a Porsche guy. If your most reliable Porsche is a 928, you may be doing it wrong and I say that as a 928S4 owner, 😂.
@@The911Den My hats off to you. Also a great for your kids to see that a carrier can be made out of a passion or interest rather than just for a paycheck. A successful one at that. Who knows maybe they will start Tesla electric conversion shop and keep the legacy 911’s going on forever. Either way good on you and cheers to hard work paying off.
11:35 Tyler, you should contact CTEK or NOCO to get you several battery chargers on your garage. You should have those batteries connected all the time. We would learn new things about these car battery chargers.
How nice was that shed with all the porsche's in it and posters of films old style number plates that place had so much character in it get to hoovies grarage see only a few photos in there
We have you beat... 2017 Macan S (Dorean), 2010 Boxster (Girl Friend), 1999 Boxster (Mistress), 1987 944 Turbo (Ruby), 1982 924 Turbo (aka 931), 1983 944 (carcass) and 1987 924S (race car). Four are driveable, three not so much.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT HE HAS NO MAN'S LAND POSTER ON THE WALL. GREAT HIDDEN GEM FROM THE 80'S WITH CHARILE SHEEN AND D.B. SWEENEY. A MUST SEE FOR CAR FANS, ESPECIALLY PORSCHE FREEKS
That scooby engine sounds like the one I used to have which was an un-turbocharged sports wagon It had a low gear range and a standard gear range. When in the low gear range, it sounded great off the line…a bit like a rally car. Problem is, you wouldn’t want to keep it in that range to drive about in as it would drink fuel and max out on revs in no time flat…plus, it would have that kinda whine to it too
I still believe that the rebuilt NA engine should go in the Carrera and the turbo engine should go into the cabrio/targa. The NA engine works much better with the Carrera.

I am glad to see you getting so many Porsche since your channel really kicked off with the Apollo 911. I would really enjoy your channel to focus more on all the different generations and build, restore, and modify the best maybe from each decade.
AS I PREDICTED....
Tyler's 928, the car that the majority of Porschephiles actively hate, will turn out to be the best Porsche he owns, if not the best of all his cars.
928:s certainly are nice cars when they work...
@@GoldenCroc I drove mine for just over 19 years and it only stranded me one single time, and it did this when it was over 30 years old. And that is probably my fault for having a mechanic who didn't know what he was doing try to install a new shifter coupler on top of the transmission on the cheap. He got it wrong and 500 miles later it broke, leaving me with 2nd gear on the Bee Line highway near Orlando.
@@Flies2FLL Yeah, I dont doubt it. If you will allow me to go on a bit of a tangent here...
Nothing personal about your post, but I find the American fascination of "stranded" quite curious. I have often read "never left me stranded" etc and so on in used car ads, and so on. I have heard other people say their cars have only left them stranded 2-3 times over 10 years ownership (from new), and that is supposedly considered not too bad at all? This, to me as a european, seems incredible. I have never owned a car that has left me stranded a single time, and that includes lots of sub 1000 dollar cars. I dont know anyone that has got a car that left them stranded. Just a different perspective.
I can only assume it is a function of the quality of servicing and regularity of proper servicing being way, way less. And perhaps also interest in their car by the general owner. Cheers mate.
@@GoldenCroc Thank you "Golden Croc", I'm sure you would be welcome here in Florida. My spouse is from Belgium and I flew out of Brussels for a time all around Europe for DHL, so I understand the European perspective. I grew up in Michigan south of Detroit and my dad always kept his cars at least 7 years, but by that time the American cars were rust buckets. My first car was a '77 VW Golf [Rabbit] and it had rotted floorboards. When it was 7 years old it really wasn't safe anymore, because when I went 60 mph on one of Michigan's concrete roads, the failed floor pan started a harmonic situation that resulted in a loud "wuh wuh wuh" and the car started to go sideways! This taught me that cars need to be replaced at some point despite how they look. My girlfriend loved that bright Bali green Golf, but I had to sell it. As to the 928, it was the only car I have ever had to have towed. It was 30 years old at the time and had 160,000 miles on it, but the real problem wasn't the car, it was the stupid maintenance that I had done on it.
To make a long story short, if you don't do proper maintenance on a car it will break down on you. But in the end, no matter how much maintenance you do, the car will die at some point: That Golf failed completely [I sat down in August of 1984, and the seat fell straight through the floor and hit my parent's driveway due to RUST~], and the 928 just failed a bit. Cars break, we just have to deal with it when it happens.
@@Flies2FLL Wow, thanks for your nice reply. I would love to visit one day, I have never been in the US so far.
I am in a quite severe rust territory myself, and it was probably the most common cause of scrapping cars up until the early 2000s. Rust protection have gotten a lot better over the years, and by the early 2000s, most cars had good enough protection to last at least 15-20 years even in this enviroment. This meant other failures took over. Since we have, as many/most european countries do, a quite strict yearly inspection, I would wager an illuminated airbag light is the most common reason for scrapping cars around here, since its an inspection fail. And often uneconomical to fix on old, low value cars unless you can do it yourself.
But I realise now while I am typing this I maybe missed the forest for the trees, surely the yearly inspection is what is incentivizing most people to keep the vehicles in ok shape over here, hence a big part why they dont strand people as often....
Anyway, loved the stories; I believe I might be a bit younger than you, so this account of another place and another time I havent experienced myself is very interesting. Cheers mate.
2 of my favorite u tubers combined into 1 channel hoovies garage and the car wizard....these two r living the dream...one guy buys cars to fix up and flip and the other fixes the cars for him and I wouldn't trust anyone but wizard to work on these classic vintage and supercars he does it all. And when those porches r done you' ll have one of the best collection of porches
That Porsche collection is awesome and love the garages Leonard has. Could hang out there all day.
My 69' 912 has a slightly similar whine. I put in some high quality swepco transmission fluid and it improved. Usually the air cooled engine drowns out the noise.
Great Porsche centered video!
Leonard’s shop and museum are any P-Car lover’s dream!
I think he’s my new hero.
Does he have his own TH-cam channel?
♥
Bro!! Your at the ozarks. I live here too and I never would have imagined in that house is the best collection on the lake.
That’s just too close to bad shades of brown for my taste, but hey, I only got an ‘06 Camry, lol 😂 (86,000 miles though !) my stepmom owned it from new so it’s a family heirloom ! Just put $1,600 into it with new tires 🛞, brakes, battery, full service. Drives like 👍 new, great highway 🛣 gas ⛽️ mileage !
I believe that the Beck 550 Spider is one of the coolest cars in the fleet. Definitely a keeper.
Try a highway flyer type 2 vw transaxle for the speedster. Drop in , fresh, and geared for driving.
The 996 you painted purple and this 928 are pretty damn good to me. 2 out of 5 is a good thing in Hoovie's world.
The others are fine as well. To me at least.
Hoovie, you need Leonard to do your marketing on the next Car Trex when it comes time to set a value on your car. He’s sees nothing but the upside in all cars
Love the 'No Man's Land' poster on the wall! a Classic for a true Porsche lover!
good eye!
@@The911Den I've lusted after a 930 since high school and I blame that movie! I have a 958.1 Turbo but I still have the dreams of my youth! :) Your experience, and dedication to these cars show. You're a true professional.
@@Pipers Keep looking for that 930. They are still out there! Thank you
Even a tour of this guys work shop would be great 👍
I agree. Also, he needs to take Hoovie (and us) out in all of those cars.
I really wanted them to walk around the truck and Bug as I love that style 'hauler'.
You got it! 😀
Geez, I remember when my brother basically gave away his 72 911 T Targa for only $2000 because no one wanted Porsches in the mid 80’s. The thing was 100% original, really clean, and ran great too.
A great video from Hoovie, made almost unwatchable by TH-cam putting 4 double adverts in 16 minutes. Shame on you TH-cam. I get that ad revenue is where it's at but 8 ads in 16 minutes is too much.
Hoovie OKs the ads
Just get TH-cam Premium...
I got 0 ads? 🤷♂️
I didn’t get any either, apart from Hoovies insurance ad or whatever it was.
Think u get more ads the more TH-cam u watch
That 928 is super sweet. The Spyder is also a beaut. I'd have put much more than a poultry couple hundred miles on it in a year but I'm less spoiled for choice than Hoovie.
Would love to see the 911 sc back in champagne paint with a stainless targa. In my opinion, the best combo!
On the Beck, I would get a freeway flyer transmission made by "Rancho". I got one in my '70 Beetle that will be getting Subaru swapped. They are made to handle Over 500hp, unlike stock transmissions that are only really made to handle 100 horsepower. Just give Rancho a call, tell them what you want, and they will hook you up. My transmission was $1500.
I've been wondering why we haven't seen the Beck in action. I hope we can see a lot more of it.
Because the car wizard can’t fix them. He takes the same cars back time and time again with the same problems and they come out.. well, the same.
Get the soft top on the Targa. I've owned both coupe and Targa. When u drive the Targa with the top off you will get the most annoying drumming from the wind. While driving, the air preasure will build up in the back and with no place to go will make you cazy. I bet driving the Targa with the top on would be great fun!
Subscribe to Leonard an the 911 den for Porsche updates. He also just uploaded a video that puts my low quality content to shame: th-cam.com/video/D3hkLXRhdOM/w-d-xo.html
get a better microphone bud
@@thekaiitlin8744 Make less asinine comments bud...
The gear config on the Beck, is a VW "freeway flier" setup where they put a taller bus 4th gear in for freeway cruising. Its notoriously noisy in the 4.12 ring gear config. You need to swap to a 3.88 ring gear type freeway flier setup (and bus 4th gear) and it will be quiet and still have the taller gear set for normal highway speeds. A VW transaxle builder will know how to set this up... its common. Just tell em you want a 3.88
You should take someone's barn car and fix it. Then give it back to them. I got a 1984 944 that I can't afford to fix, at this time in my life.😒
That No Man's Land poster in the garage! True Porsche Enthusiast!
you know it
That Cassis Red metallic certainly is an interesting paint color. I remember around that time Mazda had a similar color that I believe they called Sunset Champagne metallic.
I've been a Porsche fan most of my life. My boss used to let me drive his old school boxsters a couple of times. 97 and 2001. Both convertibles. Showed off to all my friends. Lied. It's mine. How you like me now.😂😆😁😅🤑😎
Love this guy, " sure it's not gunna start great and run perfect in the cold but who cares it's a hotrod, it's for run." LOL man gets it.
♥
How hard would it be to convince Tyler to get another Maaco paintjob for the no-longer-gold 911?
I'm thinking that promotion dried up after they got the exposure they wanted and is no longer an option. Plus the strong chance they spent 5x their normal job time to do the work for him.
That whine is from straight cut gears. Not abnormal at all... If you want a silent drive, get another transmission.
Leonard rules! You're okay too Tyler.
🤣
No matter what color the Targa gets painted,the Black Targa bar would look better.I never cared for the stainless steel ones.They just show prints and every speck of dirt.
You should totally put a Subaru 6 speed cable shifted transmission in the beck Spyder! They can easily be converted to only drive the "front" wheels
I think you might have a straight cut 4th gear in the Beck, and if that is the case then the noise is totally normal, just an annoying side effect of straight cut gears
Love this guy. Super positive and knows his stuff
♥
Possibly my favorite video you have ever done! Take that with a grain o salt because I’m a Porsche guy. If your most reliable Porsche is a 928, you may be doing it wrong and I say that as a 928S4 owner, 😂.
😀
That is a pretty dreamy garage!😍
❤❤
Lenard is my life goal. I mean seriously he has made good life choices. Wrenching Porsches next to a lake. That’s a dream
Its been a long road. ❤💙🖤
@@The911Den My hats off to you. Also a great for your kids to see that a carrier can be made out of a passion or interest rather than just for a paycheck. A successful one at that. Who knows maybe they will start Tesla electric conversion shop and keep the legacy 911’s going on forever. Either way good on you and cheers to hard work paying off.
@@suddendilemma5137 thank you kindly
Its ready for a EV kit for it .Go electric!
I've had a number of VW transaxles in my dune buggies over the years. Aftermarket 4th gears have always whined. Always.
Definitely Targa-tize the red 911. The G series convertibles are shatty looking even new.
If it were me, return the paint to gold remove the whale tail and fit teledials. European headlights as well. Maybe a brown interior.
11:35 Tyler, you should contact CTEK or NOCO to get you several battery chargers on your garage.
You should have those batteries connected all the time.
We would learn new things about these car battery chargers.
How nice was that shed with all the porsche's in it and posters of films old style number plates that place had so much character in it get to hoovies grarage see only a few photos in there
We have you beat... 2017 Macan S (Dorean), 2010 Boxster (Girl Friend), 1999 Boxster (Mistress), 1987 944 Turbo (Ruby), 1982 924 Turbo (aka 931), 1983 944 (carcass) and 1987 924S (race car). Four are driveable, three not so much.
I like your Porsche guy, he seems like a real honest, easy to deal with kind of man. I'm sure he will do a great job on your porsches
😊
7:40 God, that blue and yellow porsche looks so damn awesome.
💙💛
I LOVE THE FACT THAT HE HAS NO MAN'S LAND POSTER ON THE WALL. GREAT HIDDEN GEM FROM THE 80'S WITH CHARILE SHEEN AND D.B. SWEENEY. A MUST SEE FOR CAR FANS, ESPECIALLY PORSCHE FREEKS
That movie should have won an Academy Award!
The targa rear glass window is just so sexy 😁
Spending for what you love is never a bad idea. =)
Only Hoovie would call that beautiful ‘74 Porsche ‘ratty’.
Keep up the Porsche content, nobody would complain if you kept it Porsche content only.
That scooby engine sounds like the one I used to have which was an un-turbocharged sports wagon
It had a low gear range and a standard gear range. When in the low gear range, it sounded great off the line…a bit like a rally car.
Problem is, you wouldn’t want to keep it in that range to drive about in as it would drink fuel and max out on revs in no time flat…plus, it would have that kinda whine to it too
Rancho trans with side plates. Add a bergfive speed. That will make that transmission perfect
I still believe that the rebuilt NA engine should go in the Carrera and the turbo engine should go into the cabrio/targa. The NA engine works much better with the Carrera.
The collective name for Hoovie's 5 cars is "a disappointment of Porsches"
One doesn’t experience self transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates 🎈
WOW......that burgundy Targa....BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Ruby Red Metallic
