PorscheCooled Owner Stories #82 - Harv 1983 911SC

PorscheCooled Podcast

In today’s PorscheCooled Podcast Michael presents episode 82 of Owner Stories with Harv from Toronto, Canada. For Harv it all started at around 13 years of age when his mum bought him an 80’s style Porsche print of a Guards Red 911, from that point on Harv knew he wanted one. The Porsche print hangs in his garage today. Harv is a filmmaker and Executive Creative director and Artist. He is a collector of many things especially vintage skateboard decks.

Harv, like most of us, didn’t get his first Porsche until later in life. Harv mentions ‘that driving everything but a Porsche’ was in a way the catalyst for getting one. He has owned American and Japanese cars along the way, cars he liked but not one that he really wanted. What Harv always wanted was a 911 but moving around a lot as a Filmmaker meant it didn’t happen until recently.

During the pandemic his interest pique and although he missed out on a couple of 911s he eventually found the right one. At the end of 2020 Harv purchased his first 911, a 1983 911SC in Platinum Metallic a ROW version sold in Germany in 1983. A car he wanted since a kid and a very special and fully documented example. Harv hasn’t stopped there. He has now decided to go all in and has now become a Porsche hot rod builder. Harv is building 911 STs on original long hood bodies under his new venture – ‘History Projects’. Harv describes it as his version of what a modern day 911 should feel like.
