Appearance:
You can’t help but notice the stunning look of the 1974 Porscharoo in its vibrant Olympic Blue and sharp contrast of the Orange Gulf Livery. The Targa top is smooth in a black gloss finish. Combined with the black 5 Lug Fuchs and custom front valence, the Porscharoo is an absolute stunner! Rating 9/10 Next up the 1973 2.0 is sporting a fresh bare metal repaint in its original Marathon Blue Metallic. The metallic blue looks awesome in the bright Southern Cali sunshine and really highlights the stock look. The absence of the targa top is perfect for today’s 66 degree and sunny day. Rating 9/10 |
