This is our final week of December featuring some of our favorite episodes through out the years. Last up is Ra Shaffer.  We talk with Ray Shaffer inside the Porsche Classic workshop where old cars become new again.  The availability of original special tools, direct access to technical documentation, and connection to the historic archive, set Porsche Classic Factory Restoration in a class of our own. We will walk you through the unique work plan for your vehicle to get you and your Classic out on the road.

Join at www.Patreon.com/pcartalk Pcar Talk Podcast Show Notes Segment 1: Rezvani Retro Style Porsche   Rezvani, known for its tank-like SUVs, is building a retro-style Porsche based on the 992 chassis.   The Porsche will be available in three lines: Carrera S, GT3, and TurboS, with only 50 examples to be built.   These Porsches won't be bulletproof like their SUVs, and the base kit starts at $150k, requiring the buyer to supply the car.   The design is a modern take on the classic 935, and initial renderings look interesting.   Discussion Point: Despite not personally associating with the market for Rezvani's SUVs, the high starting price and exclusivity of the retro-style Porsche may attract buyers. Is this a cool concept or just a gimmick, and why?   Segment 2: Porsche's Performance at Long Beach   Porsche took 3rd place at Long Beach, securing another podium but not a win.   The nature of the track made it challenging to make overtakes, with Porsche holding 3rd and 4th positions for most of the race.   Discussion Point: Thoughts on Porsche's performance at Long Beach, considering the difficulty of making moves on the track and the team's ability to secure points.   Segment 3: Gunther Werks 1995 911 Carrera and the Second-Hand Market   Gunther Werks' 1995 911 Carrera, with only 2,289 miles, is for sale at $1.5 million, showcasing the high values of air-cooled Porsches in the second-hand market.   This pricing demonstrates the significant second-hand value of these cars, emphasizing the potential for original buyers to make good money.   The market for heavily modded/custom-built Porsches is growing, with numerous well-known and lesser-known builders entering the scene. Discussing the sustainability of this market and whether the younger generation will value these custom builds as the current market does.   Discussion Point: Considering the growing number of builders and modifications, will these other builders be looked at as the RUF of our generation in 20 or 30 years, and why or why not?
