    I want to personally thank you for referencing 6 inches as “huge”.

    Me: Mom, can we watch Doug DeMuro? Mom: No, we have Doug DeMuro at home. Doug DeMuro at home:

    To me, these are the 911's that made the most impact on me as a kid. Whenever I piture a 911 in my mind, this is the body type that I picture.

    Over the years, I owned six 911s. So while serving in Afghanistan in late 2010, I purchased my 3.2 over the phone right before the air-cooled market went up in price. Without seeing it in person, I paid $15k cash (no loan) for my 100% all original black/black 1987 3.2 coupe w/50k on it. I had the car shipped to me from GA to TX without a PPI and when I finally got home in late 2011, I couldn't be any happier! I still have it.

    You don’t remember the screwdriver stabbing so maybe you don’t remember that you really are a serial killer. Just something to ponder.

    Congratulations Hoovies, you've successfully fooled me for a second and mistook this as a video from Doug lol
  • @SliceyDicey
    When I heard $38k, I thought, "Wow. Not bad." I'm a crazy person.
  • @shahaan5307
    WTF I THOUGHT THIS VIDEO WAS BY DOUG DEMURO

    “This car isn’t that fast” I’ve had mine at 140mph... that’s fast to me
  • @johnwayne2103
    38k? Wow you got a great deal. I see them in the 70K range and they run up crazy from there.

    I remember when my dad first brought his black '78 911 SC home back in 1988. I was 5 years old and it was the most gorgeous thing I've ever laid my eyes on. We treated it like a family car; my two brothers and I all piled in the back and we took road trips in it (yes, there was seating for 5; my little brother had to sit in the middle on what I liked to call the "hump"). He eventually sold it to buy our house. Never knew what he got out of it, but man, those cars are special and I miss it to this day.

    With that transmission, they tend to need shift linkage adjustment. Very simple for someone with the right alignment tool. Then you'll be able to shift it like it came from the factory.

    This is a great video and took me back to a time in '88 when I bought an '87 wide-bodied Carrera 3.2 full convertible, complete with whale-tail, in guards red, black leather with red piping. What a car !!!!!! With the top down and 4500rpms the sound was just beautiful. Designed and built by engineers - NOT accountants !

    The 911 is the epitome of a true sports car. Not the prettiest, fastest or even most reliable sports car. But it is an example of great engineering and passion. A timex is cheaper and more reliable than a submariner while performing the same task, but there is passion or craftsmanship. Same thing with all 911’s.

    My Dad and I have the only air-cooled Porsche in our home country of Mozambique, an 82 Targa SC. Bought last year, the seller needed some cash quickly so we got a hell of a deal even though the car has over 200.000km on it, and was involved in a minor accident.
