Hello Everyone,

My apologies for no recent posts, but I have been super busy in my garage workshop to escape the pandemic. It was a beautiful Sunday morning today, so I couldn’t resist pulling out the cars (now that they are all running perfectly) for a little photoshoot in my driveway. Unfortunately, I don’t get to keep all of these, but it was nice to have them together in residence for a short time. The 1969 911S belongs a friend of mine and is leaving today as it's new owner is arriving from CA to pick it up and drive it home. I will be keeping the GT3, however the 1998 RUF Turbo R (1 of 14 “WO9” factory car) will have to go shortly, likely to auction.

FYI: The GT3 has been totally ignored (but will get some TLC soon), the 1969 911S received a full detail (inside and out) and very minor repairs, and the RUF received a full mechanical refresh with the help of some of the very best engine and transmission builders in the business.

Enjoy!

Here are a few more....(bumper shell going on this week!)

 

Great pics. Specifically like the GT3 and Ruf.

 

awesome !

 

that RUF...WOW

beautiful pics, absolutely love black

 

Awesome. That GT3 and RUF would be one sweet combo. I admire your forgelines every time I see them too.

 

those ruf wheels have always been my all time favorites

 

Looks good Doug! That Ruf is like a dream come true. Best of all worlds to date right there...

well done and thanks for sharing

 

.... A ha, you are a performance aficionado, like me!

....You are right....all unique in their own right.

.....It truly was a beautiful morning for photographing black cars, and I had two hours before the gent came to pick up his "new" 69S.....

.....Yes, I love my Forgelines! Indeed, the 997 GT3 is a Porsche pinnacle car, and the RUF Turbo R/CTR2 are perhaps the Porsche pinnacle for air-cooled turbos (tied with the factory GT2, IMHO).

. Yes, the classic RUF 5 spoke is one of my favorites too, for street wheels. These are new RUF Forged 19s (8.5F/10R) with 245/285 Michelin Supersports, the same wheel and tire combo used on the infamous 2016 RUF Turbo R Limited (only 7 cars made by RUF with 620HP)

. Thank you, I felt like I should be sharing instead of hiding in my garage with them. My RUF Turbo R has a rumored 520hp, I am looking forward to finding out, once the engine is run in progressively.

 

Awesome. Thanks for sharing

 

Well done! Great combo!

 

Awesome! That RUF is gorgeous. How many miles on it, and what is it worth?

 

Doug, life is good ;-)

 

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed!


Thank you Sir!

Thank you! 36904 miles with 2 miles on fresh mechanical rebuilds, Regarding the last question.........I will PM you.

Yes, it certainly is....I just play in my garage, and get my wife to recreate the treats and meals you post on Instagram.

 

Very cool. I especially like the pictures of the interiors. Amazing how similar they are after so many years.
