Wow that was a nice thorough PPI from someone who knows their way around a 911. This car is an amazing survivor. Likely needing $8-10K+ right out off the top if you needed to take it to a shop. PPI SO important! Clean, example and lots of fun projects for someone. My very first 911 experience was a 87' Gbody car--white with burgandy! Beautiful.

I purchased a 1972 911S sunroof coupe in 1983 with 70,000 miles Cali car, silver black leather with factory sport seats, paid $8,750, had the engine rebuilt to 2.7L RS specs, rebuilt everything including the TBs, mechanical injection with the RS space cam, cad plated and powder coated everything, went through all the other mechanicals, car was close to concourse, sold it in 1991 one of my biggest mistakes of many, also had a 964 and sold that before they exploded in price, I now have a 2008 E60 M5 that is close to perfect with a fully built 5.8L stroker motor that I will not sell, hopefully learned my lesson, still love Porsches…

Really nice comprehensive video! I’ve had my 2016 F82 Competition for 6 trouble-free years. I’m at 54000 miles and I change my oil at around 5000 miles (plus other maintenance ahead of schedule). Love the car and I still get a big smile every time the garage door goes up. I know there will be some maintenance expenses soon but it’s worth it, in my opinion. I plan on keeping this car for many years since it is simply the best car I’ve ever owned! Still turns heads and super fun to drive! 👍🏁😊

You’ve obviously never owned one. “They aren’t particularly great cars” is one of the dumbest comments I’ve ever seen. There’s nothing else like them. And there aren’t a million of them. There are a million water cooled 996’s and beyond (if you even know what that means). Leave the air cooled classics to the big boys and stick with your Kia.

Air cooled 911's are so expensive that there aren't many neglected examples out there anymore. This has dramatically changed in the last 10 years after the prices skyrocketed. It was completetly different when you could buy an air cooled for 25K. Those days are long gone.

Bought an 89' coupe fron a small P car dealer in late 2019. Paid $68K which was good money for one of these at that time. Car appeared to be a high level driver. Zero rust, pristine interior, nice paint. Had a PPI done at a reputable So Cal shop. Was told solid car that is ready to be driven. Put a few hundred miles on it over the next month. It started smoking on start up for extended periods. Took it to my local P car shop thinking that the runners were going to need to be replaced. I was right. Bad runners. As he opened up the engine though he found there was wide spread corrosion inside the engine. Pistons, valves, cam, heads, timing chain... Essentially everything on the inside was shot. Full engine rebuild. That is making a very long story very short but the point is that you are still taking a chance even when you pay good money for a nice car. No one is going to disassemble an engine for a PPI. Would be too expensive. No owner would ever allow that anyway. You never know what is inside the engine until you open it up, and you may have to write a big check when you do. A full engine rebuild on an old 911 is much more expensive than an old muscle car rebuild. Maybe not Ferrari levels in price but getting there.

@@detonator2112 The car came with a big binder of receipts. It had a lot of maintenance over the years. The owners didn't skimp. What we found was that the owner who the dealer bought it from drove the car very little. That guy owned it for six years and only drove it a few hundred miles a year. We think he was using it for very short trips that did not allow the engine to get up to temp. Also, the car would sit for months so there was probably water in the engine caused by fuel breakdown. The water went to town on the internals and corroded everything.

@@overbuiltlimited Ok. I understand it if it had been in the road salt areas. That kills the cars because the salt goes everywhere. I live in Scandinavia and pretty much only Volvos are built for these conditions. Old Volvos better as they are not so full of electronics. No sane person drives their air cooled 911's during the winter here.

I'm at mid-60 K on my 2018 F80. It's a beast of an engine. I keep up on all the maintenance oil changes roughly every 2000 mi. Running it on flex-fuel stage 2 tune this thing is a blast to drive. I put it through hell daily driving it taking it to the drift track and the road course track and it just keeps on going, bro. There are people at this point running this engine up to 200,000 mi with maybe 1 or two of the issues you mentioned like PCV valve etc. which is really better than a lot of other commuter cars out there which is surprising considering all the abuse these cars can handle and keep running fine. Hats off to BMW on the S55.

I have f80 and have replace every single item on this video except the oil pan and cooler. 105,000 miles with ps2 turbo with bolt ons, driving hard 60k on tune. Most oem parts were upgraded to aftermarket for more reliability. It’s fair to say you will have touch on everything on this video and more by 100k. Upgrade to eu5 injector if you can and stick with stock intake. It will save misfire and hesitation on startup. Sick video FCP
