What was your lighting?. Last car looks green not yellow.You need to control exposure so background is black. Current Background is disturbing.

That looks like a 73 European version 2.7 liter Carreara RS (or it’s an American car fitted with Euro headlights). Porsche brought these cars into the US in late 73/early 74 in some interesting colors (bright green, yellow and orange) with the Carrera logo and Fuchs wheels (6x15 front, 7x15 rear if I recall correctly). You could have bought that car for 15-16K$ at the time (which was an expensive car), but today early air cooled 911s are VERY collectible (and expensive) and the 2.7L 911 Carrera RS is one of the best. Thanks for this trip down memory lane (I owned two 2.4L 73 911Es, but not a Carrera, although they had several for sale at the dealer after I bought mine)

For helpful advice and review, it's always important to store the image files for detailed review.

Sorry these don't work for me. Try some different angles. Get down lower or up higher. Try filling the frame. Use fill lighting (cards, lights, speed lights) to open up the shadows on the car. You want people to see the car in a way that they normally don't see it but is still aestheticly pleasing.

Highlights blown and excess contrast. Not sure what color is the car. Over processed?

The location you are shooting, where you place the vehicle within that location, even 5 feet forward or 5 feet back, will make a massive difference to basically everything in your photographs.
First bit of advice to improve "everything," take the car outside.

Taking the car outside was not an option as the yard outside was full of visual distractions.
Thanks for your input.

The DuPont Registry has a nice looking 1973 lightweight version for a mere $895,000.

The price for air cooled 911s has gone crazy. To be fair, they were great cars. If I were to do it over (and could afford to), I would opt for something a few years later with wider back wheels/tires even if I had to deal with (or change) the “safety” bumpers. The older cars with equal front and rears can be a REAL handful if you get it out of shape at high speed. If you get an early 911 sideways at >100 mph, you’re in trouble boy...🙀. You MAY catch it, but you’re gonna need about 4 lanes, and if you don’t have the room, you’re going for an “interesting” ride.

Not just a 1911, but a Ford Falcon at a MUCH lower speed...don't ask how I know this!
I realize a lot of car shots are "take it how/where it is", but the background clutter does not add to the beautiful car!

Still miss my Porsche. To expensive to maintain in retirement (or so the wife said).
