    Early 911 Porsche in latest TOP GUN - Maverick movie

    Has anyone identified the model of early 911 driven by Mavericks girlfriend ? Its a silver, small bumper model which "might" be a 911S given it has an S front spoiler. It only appears in a couple of shots. Product placement in this movie is scarce with only fleeting glimpses of Tom's IWC TopGun wristwatch and later an IWC stopwatch. Anyone else spot any more ?

    The hero car of “Top Gun: Maverick”needed no such stand-in.

        C'mon Phil, a watch geek like you ... Tom is wearing the same Porsche Design Chronograph 7176s he wore in the original Top Gun movie 30 years ago !

          Craig, thanks for the correction. I watched it in a cinema so couldnt rewind and pause to get a better look at the watch and given the movie title, I was sure it was an IWC Top Gun model. The later shot of the IWC stopwatch tended to reinforce the idea that IWC had paid for some product placement.

            Belongs to Nick Psyllos (spelling prob wrong) I have never met him, Early S member but we have corresponded often for years as he built a 72ST clone too in tangerine. Scott Longbella did a resto on the silver car a year or so ago so bet it was looking sharp

              First of all, I hope everyone who participates on this forum (including families) is healthy and staying safe during this unprecedented time we find ourselves navigating through. Due to the new WFH mandate I have a bit more time to work on car projects and also goof off on the internet. As such, I thought I’d post on a major effort currently underway on my silver metallic 73 911S (#9113300964). As many of you may be aware, I went through a 4 year (2013-2017) ground up build of my tangerine
