Check Out This Secret Collection Of Pristine Porsches

Nov. 29, 2021 1:01 PM ET by Sebastian Cenizo Video / 2 Comments It's practically a private museum of excellence. To many, Porsche makes one car, and it's just "a fast Beetle." However, to those in the know, the German automaker is the finest producer of sports cars that this world has ever seen.

Every decade since its inception, the Stuttgart-based manufacturer has created something special, and choosing just one Porsche to own and enjoy is nearly impossible. For a lucky few though, that choice never needs to be made.

One such individual is Todd Blue, an entrepreneur who has worked tirelessly to build an empire from scratch after Porsche gave him a shot by letting him take ownership of a small dealership many years ago. The Petersen Automotive Museum has now decided to shine a spotlight on the cars that the businessman and enthusiast has collected, and you&#39;ll find that they (almost) all have two things in common: they&#39;re Porsches and they&#39;re blue. Petersen Automotive Museum/YouTube Petersen Automotive Museum/YouTube The first car is one that any hardcore Porsche fan would kill to have in their collection - the 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS.

Approximately 1500 examples of the RS were produced, with 500 of these being &#39;lightweight&#39; models. The first 200 of these were called &#39;thin-metal lightweights.&#39; The one you see here is just such an example, but what makes it even rarer is that only 18 of the original 1500-strong production run were finished in Gulf Blue.

Only four of those were lightweight models, and this is one of two thin-metal, Gulf Blue, lightweights with all matching numbers. Unrestored yet in mint condition, this car alone is worth more than our entire office will earn in a lifetime. Petersen Automotive Museum/YouTube Petersen Automotive Museum/YouTube Going through each and every car in detail is something that is made so much more enjoyable by Blue&#39;s clear love for the brand and his knowledge of each car&#39;s history, and choosing just one is nearly impossible, despite the fact that Blue doesn&#39;t even discuss every car in this garage.

We really think you should take half an hour out of your day and watch this video, but if you can&#39;t do that right now, let&#39;s give you an overview of some of the stand-out models that caught our eye and made us dream of greater financial fluidity. Each is special in its own way, showing how much love Porsche has for creating special cars that outperform just about anything else on the road.

Petersen Automotive Museum/YouTube Petersen Automotive Museum/YouTube Petersen Automotive Museum/YouTube There&#39;s a 964-generation 911 Turbo S lightweight (that&#39;s the shape you saw in the first Bad Boys film), of which just 87 are said to have been built, sitting alongside a 996-generation Turbo S. Both of these cars are finished in Sunoco Blue, a paint-to-sample offering. There&#39;s also a 911 Turbo slantnose from 1989, a Polar Ice Blue 911 Turbo from 1976, and even the super scarce 968 Turbo S, of which just 14 examples were produced.

Another rarity is seen in the 916 before we get a look at Blue&#39;s Porsche 935 racecar, a 904 racer from 1964, and a 1955 Jagdwagen, the only car in the collection without any blue paint or components. This was part of a little-known Porsche project where the automaker tried to win a contract for military vehicles.

Only 71 were made, and only about 50 are said to exist today, but with this being produced alongside the 550 Spyder racer and with the engine of the 356, it&#39;s a proper piece of Porsche pub trivia.<br> Petersen Automotive Museum/YouTube Petersen Automotive Museum/YouTube We could rattle on for hours poring over the history of the 911 Speedster, the brilliance of the 959 supercar, the noise of the Carrera GT, and the technical excellence of the 918 Spyder, but choosing any of those above a 911 GT2 RS, a 356 SC, or a 911 R is impossible for us. Todd Blue&#39;s favorite is the V10-powered Carrera GT, and his reasons for choosing it as his favorite as good as any, but while we may not be able to experience all of these cars as readily as someone like Blue can, we&#39;re just thankful that Porsche is still around and will be for many more decades. Here&#39;s to the Porsche 911 and every other car that has come out of Weissach: you&#39;re all legends.
