Hi Kennan, great video again. This is what you can call a MINT condition classic and probably if not the most, one of the most pretty designed Porsches, completely ruined with the stupid front lights of the next generation, no matter what Doug has to say 🙂. You probably know better but I think I remember this was one if not the first 911 offered with forged magnesium wheels, which were offered with several models afterwards.This is certainly a fast sports car even for today's standards, and with the legendary air cooled engine and in this condition, sure as hell the next owner is gonna be a really happy dude. Thanks for the great work man. Much love from West Spain!!

Back in 2005 I was driving my 911 SC around Southern California doing break in miles after a full restoration. I was on The PCH and saw one of these Turbo S street parked outside a bar. I parked behind it and starting looking around it and kinda freaking out. At the time a guy was walking into the bar and stopped to talk to me. He knew the owner of the S but couldn't understand why I was so excited to see that car and said what's the difference between the Turbo S and my SC! Yes my SC was extremely nice and looked great with new paint job and great bodywork but to me I just didn't even comprehend that someone wouldn't understand the difference but as I've learned even driving a 996 that I have now to the non car person a Porsche is a Porsche 🤦♂️. I wish I could afford a 993 Turbo S because it's among my top 3 or 4 cars of all time!!
