I’ve never given that any thought but I agree with you on that.

Likely one of the the first sets of Sterns done in gold some 20 years ago. It sets the car apart.

I’m a HUGE fan of the 993 twin turbo. The next level of that is a RUF. And unless I win the lottery I’ll always be a spectator in that sport. To me, those 911’s are go-carts on steroids. What a joy it must be to curate one. Best of all of it without the ownership pains and Porsche tax.

@PuristMotorsports I've been following Alois Ruf and his company since 1984 they are my all-time hands-down favorite performance car there's no better car the net what they were able to accomplish is just truly extraordinary and it was a Stars aligned type thing that will never happen again you obviously have impeccable taste. I'm trying to get my brother to either do a turbo or conversion or sell his 993 because it's too valuable to enjoy you buy a Porsche because you want to drive it it's tripled in price from what he paid for it so it's no longer a viable driver in his eyes but I told him if you wanted to keep it at least do something unique with it at least do the Turbo R bumpers and wheels is it because you can turn that back to stock pretty easily

@@gregoryfranks7347 same here. The Yellowbird set the world on fire for me. Easy to find the video now but back when you had to know someone with the VHS tape. What you are pushing your brother to do is exactly what I would do to a turbo. RUF is now making the 993 cladding and bumpers again along with OZ Racing making a version of the Speedline wheels used in the 90's. If I had a money tree I'd be buying a higher mile twin turbo and making it into the RUF styled Turbo. My IG and social media feeds are littered with Porsches along with the Saleen's. I do have plans to use an old school twin turbo kit for a fox and infuse some of the RUF and Singer details into it for a custom build. I've got a line on an abandoned Saleen fox project that will be the subject. Cheers man! You now have me digging through RUF videos online. LOL!

@PuristMotorsports oh I like you. I'm all about Porsche tuning. Back in 1991 a professional skater who now is a professional and a professional rally car driver and I were Associates and we had the first two custom Honda Civics in Baltimore Maryland. He just went on to a much better and nicer cars and now he drives for Subaru but I've been into tuning cars ever since then. I've got 5000 magazines I've been into mini trucks sport trucks off road sport compact JDM always loved Exotics and I've always loved prerunner trucks on Mustangs but Porsche has always been my number one favorite. Since 1985 I've got every Magazine with a article on Ruf that I could find. When Porsche gives you their best product and takes everything off and throws it in the garbage because they think you can do it better that says all I've ever needed to know about that company but just the fact that they've done so much I mean they had an electric Porsche before the Prius 10 years before the Prius they also own hydroelectric dams just a very humble friendly and absolute kind-hearted people that saved you into their family wants to buy one of their cars. I just can't understand how people buy those cars and have them specially built for them in their spec and then they sell them. I understand the one of 8 993 Turbo R tributes selling for 2 million but I don't know how you could have went through the process of expecting it going out to the factory meeting the family having the car and fitted to you and then selling it. Yes I'm I'm All About 80s tuning as well, gemballa DPmotorsport strokes premerger AMG. I'm a PCA member I'll give up my KISS Army before I give up my PCA membership LOL that was great to talk to you you just seemed like a true true fan of of the cars and I love your channel cuz I'm a Mustang fanatic too you have outstanding content you guys obviously work very very hard to produce it so outstanding job sir. Cheers

I couldn’t agree more.

Man!! Go get that done! Would be an awesome looking and driving car.

Oh man…. Rabbit hole ignited!! New style gas cans are a joke for sure. I spill out more than I ever did with any of the previous simple designs.

All my buddies who are into European cars love the SVO and no other Mustang save for early Shelby Mustangs or a Saleen or two. The SVO was about 10-15 years too soon. The Millenial love for small turbo cars came into vogue around the late 90’s. Large fart can exhaust and all. I think the SVO would have scored larger sales at that time. Ford can be a bit hard headed at times. I mean they were going to replace the Mustang with a FWD platform in 89-90. That would have been a certain death for the Mustang name.

Yeah. Same style that was used in the fox Saleen’s. Different headrests and slightly different design in the covers.

@ with the damn drop top on them things. imma spend every last dime, its dangerous for me to styart viewing this channel. u know the man built that aint want nothing to do with them damn ford people drifting and wreck they own damn cars. workin on everything the night before. if it wasnt for saleen s7 in silver fast than the berlinetta

but they all in the same place. and it rains over there at least every other week.

And it didn’t matter how it was driven. Mileage didn’t change.

Thanks Chet! It’s always nice to go down memory lane.

Those were cool cars too! You’re right that the tech was very cutting edge. Not to mention that the wheel design of the T-bird ended up being what made it onto the 1993 cobra too. Albeit in a larger version.

Awesome! Calypso is another color that is highly sought after these days. I didn’t like it much back when it was new but now it’s one of my favorites. Interesting how time changes our likes/dislikes. Drive yours and enjoy them.

@ I’ve heard about that and I can’t believe it. By far one of my favorites colors along side twilight blue. Might I add the 93 Lightning in this video is a beautiful example of a survivor

@93Kalypslow yeah… twilight blue!! 🤤❤️ I really dig that color.

It isn’t. Offers of $350k have been declined as of 2024.

It doesn’t. The seats have their full range of movement.

Close. The cars used in the movie were this body style.

Yup! This was just the poster car. Look up the lawsuit where Pepsi was “not” giving away a harrier jet.

Great to meet you too sir. Keep doing what you do. Your build is coming along quick!

priorities in order. lol

It’s a separate piece. There are three hex head screws on the underside that hold it to the fuel rail.

@PuristMotorsports did you put a factory one back on

Yeah. I did.

I think your misusing the term

The build was in excess of $150k. It was done by a shop that’s akin to Jay Leno’s. They don’t do any work on client cars. Just the cars and projects in the owners collection.

That’s not a bad thought at all. Removing the fuel pump relay and turning it over to get oil back into the top of the engine is something I have done. It’s something I do on fresh built motors or ones where the motor has been pulled out for a restoration. But I have a distributor adapted to a. 1/4” drive socket to be able to spin the oil pump driveshaft and push oil through the motor before starting it.

@@PuristMotorsports Read some references that holding the gas peddle to the floor on some modern fuel injected cars will essentially achieve the same thing? Appreciate the response.

Which generation Cobra R?

Agreed Mike. It’s called a hobby for a reason. Because it doesn’t make money. If it makes money, it’s a business. A lot of guys got into the flipping during the peak and it was easy. Just like a lot of people I know who became realtors and they were basically order takers. Times have swiftly changed and the sales don’t come as easy. So a lot of those guys who got into flipping are getting a little dose of how the market shifts. I will say that I have tried to be smart with my purchases in my hobbies. Doesn’t matter who you are, we all want a good deal.

Im with you. I’m just a spectator in the sport of buying low mile collector cars. Merely sitting in the stands cheering people on.

Yeah! Devil is in those small details. The 03-04 Saleen cobra kept the OE Ford hood. That’s one way to spot those Saleen cobras. A quick way to spot the earlier ones is the front brakes. Saleen didn’t change the front cobra brakes on most of them. Saleen didn’t convert many Cobras.
