There had been murmurs in the Porsche community of a highly modified, highly customized, 964 named the “America GS”, commissioned by a gentleman who had a very close relationship with the Porsche Exclusive and “Special Wishes” department. No one really knew much about the backstory of this incredible piece of Porsche history until the owner revealed his identity on...you guessed it....Instagram a few months ago. Robert Linton, an avid (to say the least) Porsche enthusiast has had a rapport with the Porsche factory ever since he sat down to order his 1989 Flachbau 930 Turbo Cabriolet. Since that project, Linton took the words “one of one” to a new extreme. Not only was his 930 Turbo the last to leave the factory after two years of production, but his cars that would follow would adhere to the 930’s ethos: lighten everything, stiffen everything, source materials from the bowels of the periodic table, and add a lot of leather. Eli and Sam have a chat with Robert Linton to discuss his obsession with Porsche and his thought processes behind some of his unbelievable builds. Tune in!
