Purposefully situated in central England, 1 hour, and 30 minutes from over 50% of the UK’s entire population and only 30 minutes from Silverstone Circuit and ‘Motorsport Valley’, Boxengasse is the one-stop destination for all things Porsche.
I have two of these. A pumpkin orange 68, unrestored all original. I've done what l needed to do, had the paint "refreshed", new headliner, seats restitched etc. With 117k miles it still runs and looks great. The 67 came without running gear so now it has a 2.3 litre Penrose engine. The plan is to have a fully restored 912, all stock except for the engine so now it's apart to get painted. I have a 356 and some 911s but my first Porsche was a dark blue 66 912 that l bought in 75 for $3,000. I've loved them ever since
This guy is a legend, probably the best you’ve ever had on your show. Wow, a definitive old school hardcore petrol head. Love it very much 👊🏿👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏿
That osr wheel and tyre is looking a a bit dodgy with bulge in the wheel and split tyre wall , hope he’s spotted that , the car looks absolutely amazing and he’s done some serious good looking work there
@@bobbyball5081 Love your practical details like the sockets in the frunk. I have a similar car with a 3.4 liter Carrera engine. So much fun in a small package. I used a Cyanoacrolyt adhesive named HB Fuller Cyberbond CB 2245 to glue the ends of the center filler rubber gasket.
Albeit you stated you were a do you type of guy. Bro you chastised him a bit about some of the mods he did to his car. Quite frankly I think it's beautiful.
Have the same in midnight blue. Fantastic car. Instead of the K&N the preowner of mine put a double sided airbox for better air flow in, which makes a good sound….
I have a 991.1 GTS but these 964s are really the ones! What a channel this is though. Boxengasse. I love the dig into the stories behind these delights and their owners.
Nice car. Have seen that car for sale at various times over the years. It’s in amazing condition now. Would remove the turbo badge above the glovebox but other than that it’s great. Can’t remember exactly what but previous owner had something in the ashtray.
Totally agree about the interior...much nicer place to be than a 997 or a 993 , simple but works and it wears really well too. That Blue/Black tartan would look fabulous in the seats.
Am I right in saying a low temp thermostat is not going to make the engine run any cooler for instance on a hot day in a traffic jam ? I understand it opens earlier than a normal one but the engine will still heat up to the same temp if conditions prevail , the 3rd radiator on the other hand adds to the ability to cool the coolant and keep the engine cooler (if possible) . It's the fans that kick in when even 3 rads are not enough to dissipate the heat. Can you have these kick in sooner in a traffic jam? The low temp thermostat will allow the engine to run cooler on say a cool day when on the motorway at a steady speed and there is more than enough radiators to "get rid" of the heat. ..correct?
The attention to detail on this Guards Red 964 is legendary. How I wish I could see it up close. Amazing finished result. I also love how you both totally geek out on every detail! Great story and car, Greg!
Enjoyed that. Have seen this car around several times but haven’t seen it up close. Incredible attention to detail. You could tell Frank was impressed!
One of the things I can say about Greg, is that he will always over deliver! A picky/nightmare client is never an issue, as Greg’s expectations will always be higher! Happy to see him in his zone here… ALMOST going full Geek! Respect 😉👍🇬🇧
