About this listen

On this week’s Full Throttle Talk, the gloves come off in a cross-generational showdown: Is the juice still worth the squeeze on classic 911 restorations—or have Porsche’s new RS models made old-school collecting obsolete? Tim Harris, Greg Stanley, and Paul Kramer are joined by special guest Dave Van Epps, owner of Sunderwerks in North Carolina, for a raw, wrench-turning look at what it really costs to resurrect a vintage Porsche 911. From hidden bodywork disasters to six-figure rebuilds, this episode is a must-listen for anyone considering a restoration. Then we fast-forward to today’s modern heroes: the 911 ST, 718 Spyder RS, and the incoming 911 RS. Are these turn-key, limited-run legends the smarter, safer bet? Or are they just tomorrow’s overpriced auction fodder? We also break down the latest auction results—what’s selling, what’s stalling, and what might be heading for a correction. Whether you’re eyeing a barn find or a Bring-a-Trailer bidding war, this episode gives you the edge. Real talk. No fluff. All throttle.
