    When did Dave Franco start working for Audrain? I keeed, I keeed! Love the video. Now I know why John Ficarra speaks of Bruce in hushed and reverent tones! Wow. I never realized what I found off-putting about most 911 restomods until Bruce nailed it in this video. I still love me some 911K though! But this is the 911 I need. A daily driver that is safe, balanced, and a blast to drive.

    I had a 3.2 Carrera in LA for many years. Never had a problem with the factory a/c. Still, agree this is a cool build. Let’s hope the days of backdating these cars are over. They should be appreciated as the great cars they are (middies, SCs, and 3,2s).

    Great driving video. Anywhere we can learn about the build? Be curious to hear what the suspension setup is as that seems to be the big differentiator. Did Canepa stick with torsion bars or is this a coil over car?
    And still would love to hear about the engine, transmission and all the details that make this so great.

      This is not ruining. This is a proper, period-inspired hotrod. Could've been built in the 80s. Gunter, Singer are ruining perfectly fine cars. Bruce rules and has more knowledge and history in the Porsche game than we can ever attain.

    BC has been around a looong time...he knows the product..Porsche.......but is it me or is he throwing jabs at Singer....I mean they are two different beasts!!!!!!! Singers were 300k or so new, a long time ago when they began...now over 800 ez for used "classics models".....newer ones are millions.......and so many others have jumped on the bandwagon........911's have been modified for decades but Singer created a whole new level.. This red targa is nice..but how much?....he may find a niche market here.......under 300k or so?......for a modded 911?.......for folks that cannot afford singer gunther etc etc... but still this car for 175-200 is nuts to me

      💯 not sure why he is punching up, maybe trying to attract customers? Just like the clickbait thumbnail. If you have to badmouth your competitors to make yourself look good, then your products are lacking substance. Work on that instead of focusing on others.

    I like what Bruce has done. The mirrors look goofy but other than that, this is what a period Porsche should look like. It's too bad the car is actually a rebuild and not a street survivor. Then again, older Porsche's don't age well so that is to be expected I guess.

      @@craigyirush3492 Then you would know Norbert Singer , where the name Singer comes has been one of the key Porsche engineers on most of the Porsche's that Bruce has been involved with ? Norbert Singer was also a consultant on the Singer DLS . So I'm sure Rob Dickinson listened to his input during the development process ! So for Bruce to say or imply that Singer vehicles are for show , and don't handle would just be jealousy !
      Sure Singer vehicles are not cheap but development cost money, and they are using some of the best people and companies in the business!
