“The End of the Fun” Porsches

in Cars, Bikes & Moving Things

This was a “portrait” I shot of a 1973 Porsche 911S, 2.4 liter, with sport seats & sunroof, matching numbers, restored but not “too much,” for an owner who was selling it. It sold for $240,000, I’d like to think that was because of my photography, but of course not. But I do think that a classic like this deserves the special attention I provided.

I wonder how many photographers would even know which end of this car has the motor? Would they know if it’s a motor or an engine? Would they have changed its oil? (I have).

They’re called “end of the fun” Porsches because, the next year, 1974, Porsche was forced to add safety bumpers, shortening the hood. Not that safe is no fun, but 1974 was about when governments began encumbering the liberty of driving what had been the most purely-engineered driving tool, with more & more bureaucratic dictates. Since then all cars, not just Porsches, are increasingly designed more by lawyers than engineers.
