I rarely post anything about my personal Porsche's but this car is so exciting to share as it's probably the nicest, most original mid-year 911 I have ever seen. It's just a joy to marvel at all the small details, like being transported back 45 years.

I have been working on my 1974 911 coupe for the past year, attempting to make the car as close as humanely possible to how it looked the day it was built in July of 1973, yet maintaining it as 100% original. I won't bore you with all the details, but suffice it to say we went thru the car in painstaking detail from top to bottom. After a year of sleepless nights and hours sweating the smallest of details I feel like it is complete and I thought I would share the car with my Rennlist friends. A few cool details about the car:

• Paint is Special Color HellGrun or Jade Green (as it was called in the US as they were worried the original name would offend people). Note the paint can in the photos, that is the original factory paint which was used on the car!
• Car has ~41k original miles
• I purchased it from the original owner, who is an amazing guy who loved this car for 44 years.
• Car is a very early build G-body, in fact it was completed prior to the final 1973 F-body cars coming off the line and as such has some unique transitional trim and detail type items
• Car is 100% original: all the paint, trim, lenses, glass, interior, etc...

Once we got the car done I have been able to take it to a few great shows:

• Porsche Parade 2018- Lake of the Ozarks
• 000 Magazine-Rare Shades at Canepa in Scotts Valley, CA
• Werks Reunion 2018- Carmel, CA

Now my job is just to get some miles on the engine rebuild, that will be the fun part!

If anyone needs photos of details, I painstakingly took photos of every nook and cranny during disassembly, detailing, etc so I have a record of what is original. A fun project for sure! Hope you all like it!

Sure wish I was but between the last few big shows (20 days gone in total) my marital car show "equity" account is depleted...

Thanks for bringing the car out, Nathan. The color, details, and attention to detail made it one of my favorites!

Thanks for putting together a great event, Pete! Even though there were lots of events during car week, your show was one of the most fun. More focused, low key with lots of true enthusiasts! I know it will only grow.

Lots of great cars at WERKS, and Tom and his team always do a great job. gets better and better each year.
