My father passed away last month and he had been working on restoring his 1967 912, fully stripped and painted Aga blue, engines&trans fully built and still going through every part restoring what he could. I’m 19 and I worked with him taking apart a sprite he’d had most of his life but now I’ll be taking over the 912 restoration. This brought me to tears.
dont lie.
Thanks for sharing. My condolences to you and your family. I’m sure he’d want you to finish the project. 🙏🏼
As a fellow dad, I am sure he will be very pleased and will remain with you in spirit and in your heart.
@@안사요안사-h3p aww :c sorry you didn't lose your dad at 19 years of age. What a disgrace you are
there’s always these kinds of sentimental comments looking for likes in any restoration video.
these 912s are my dream cars. not the 911s, not ferraris, or lamborghinis, not even a bugatti. these represent lots of thought in engineering, along with keeping more luxury vehicles at least in the sight of the middle class. truly beautiful cars, perfect lines.
Porsche lovers story, family story; good presentation. As a Porsche fan, it's living a dream. Enjoyed!
As grown up men we are all sons of fathers and there is that special connection. I remember when I bought my first Porsche 20 years ago how proud my father was back then. Life treated me well and I was able to buy additional Porsches since then. Unfortunately, I am not able to share the joy and excitement of a new Porsche with my father anymore since he passed away, which I miss tremendously.
However, your story runs so much deeper and expresses wonderfully the love for your father as well for the Porsche. Thanks so much for sharing this with the world!
And we are lucky that you shared this wonderful story with us. Congratulations and well done.
This is definitely the best Porsche vid I've ever seen on TH-cam. Great job! Thank you so much.
Great story. Glad you were able to restore it so beautifully! I’m sure your dad would have appreciated it as well 🤗
13:27 perfectly sums up the virtues that define a Porsche!
Looks like Weber IDF carburetors are installed instead of factory Solex PIIs. They work great on my 912. Some people say to use F7 emulsion tubes instead of the F11s that are likely installed in the Webers.
On the Porsche channel, wow. It's good to see that not everyone at Porsche these days is focused on minivans and money. There appear to be some still focused on tradition, humility, and propriety.
Such a great story and car. It’s beautiful!
Coming from someone looking and wanting a 912, this was a great story.
What a great story and Bahama Yellow is so much nicer that that red it was for a while.
My father dreamed all his life, with a 911 targa, from the same age. But for a reason or other, he never bought one.😕 However, I have inherited from my father, a Mercedes 450 SLC 1974. It's in good condition, but I never did, a full bare metal restoration. Maybe one day I will, as bought my Targa that my dad dindn't.
This man has clearly picked up a German attitude towards cars. 😉
Wow, I could totally relate to this story. Unfortunately, ours, now my 911 is still parked and waiting for restoration. Hopefully one day my 911 will have ending chapter like this story. Thanks for this video, very inspiring.
This man is like me. I like everything stock, if you need to modify it then why buy it? Good job Porsche!
What a super video. Better even than the old Petrolicious films. I prefer the car in red but restoring to its original colour was the right thing to do.
A labor of love, and I think your father is smiling
I love my Bahama yellow 67 912! Mine shows it’s age much more than this one but I still love it. Thanks for the great video!
I miss you, Dad.
I have a 912 Bahama yellow that was bought from my father. Did not have an idea of where to restore it. Now I know. Thanks !
Much respect, brother! You have a fan in Slidell, LA. Thank you for keeping this beautiful part of Porsche history alive and well! This is a lovely tribute to your father's legacy and your life.
What a nice video....Great car, great father, great family......great wisdom.
What a lovely car but even lovelier story and video. Nice job.
The colour is gorgeous. Enjoy.
Very cool! You are actually driving this in the back roads near my house. I have a 991.2 Turbo and grew up in the 70’s loving the 911’s. Congratulations on a perfect Restauration. I’m sorry to hear your father passed. I love the love you both had for cars and for each other. Enjoy the Munich and Oberbayern area! Peace out!
My Guards Red '68 912 Targa with Fuchs wheels was one of the finest cars I've ever owned. It looked great, ran like a top and didn't require anything but routine maintenance and the TLC any Porsche deserves. I eventually sold it to move up to a newer '73 Viper Green 911E Targa, which was also a fantastic car. I drove the 911E for years as my daily driver and I never tired of it, or the looks and "thumbs up" it always got out on the road. I regularly look at the pictures on my office walls of both cars sitting side by side, and dearly wish I had them back again. Each had its own character, its pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses (very few!) but, at the end of the day, they were both Porsches with that undeniable Porsche pedigree that sets them apart from any other car in the world. There truly is no substitute!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful story with us, very inspiring and what an end result the car is. Well done 👌🏼
that Bahama Yellow paint job is so much better than the red.
Such a moving bitter sweet story
So wonderful you share your father’s passion for cars and Porsche
He sits beside you 💛
Fantastic! We need more of these stories Porsche 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What a beautiful story. I have 3 boys, now grown men, and we shared a passion for cars. It makes me wonder how my boys will remember me.
You honor your father’s memory by embarking on this wonderful project. As you said, full of positive memories. Porsche’s are truly special.
This was amazing. Great video. Keep up the good work.
My dream car 911😪😍
Beautiful! Your dad would have loved that car. You restored your Porsche to a Porsche. Well done.
Really cool restoration and the color is amazing! I love the bahama yellow and mint green from back then.
At the moment I think about a Bahama Yellow 991.2 GT3 Touring with Wood/Alu-Steering Wheel and Wood inserts in the Dashboard... Pepita Seats... 20" Fuchs Rims... A complete retro-styled Porsche! That would be nice!😊
What an excellent journey! Thanx for sharing with us! 👍 all the best!
Wonderful story with much character.More of this please instead of the one minute videos.Thank you.
My buddy has a 1976 Porsche 912 in SoCal in Baby Smurf Blue. It has a VW Engine. I didn't realize that the 1960s and other 912s had an air cooled Porsche engine. Very nice 912 restoration. $$$$$$$
Sure miss my '69... absolute magic happened when both the tachometer and speedometer needles were perfectly vertical at 4000 RPM in 5th gear. Exactly 75 MPH. At that moment, everything clicked and you you could feel that all was good with the cam and transaxle and happiest to run all day like that. I also missed how well it stayed tuned compared to the 911's of that time. Maybe someday I'll find another....ivory white. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful story. This is such a great film to watch.
This beautiful heartwarming film is what Porsche is all about. Legacy !
I love the wooden dash and steering wheel. Really beautiful!
The picture in the meadow when the car was complete looked very similar to original Porsche advertising. Absolutely beautifully made video.
Perdón pensé que decía banana bahana perdón mis alemanes
Im hoping to buy also a yellow (Bahamas?) Porsche 912 in Germany. I live myself in the Netherlands so it takes some work . ❤
Just finished watching an old movie, Downhill Racer, with Robert Redford. A very similar looking 911 is in the movie. Mustard with steel wheels and small hub caps. Love the look.
Excellent video. Thanks for bringing us along and sharing your and your dad's story with the world. I'm a huge BMW gear head and drive and maintain them religiously. I recently drove a Porsche 911 (997.1) what an amazing machine it is. I look forward to adding a 911 to my small working man's collection soon.
Yo nací en el 68 al parecer era un auto y oy se que es un plátano con ruedas por su color forma e historia que buena historia mis alemanes
Beautiful story, beautiful Porsche.
And yes, one Porsche is enough, mine is a Black Carrera 4. A Porsche is unique, no need to have many.
Do Poche still manufacture or service old 911S/912 ? Its my dream to have one but the only worry i have is spare parts and proper servicing. Why dont they come out with a new model with same design but with improved engine. I think there is a real demand . Its a timeless design and frankly the new sports car style 911 does not look nearly as good. The aesthetic taste of people are changing and lot of people dont like the mid 90s sports car style aesthetic anymore. Its too tacky .
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful a dream machine to stroll on Saturday ❤️.
I could have bought a fairly mint 912 in B yellow not that many years ago for £8K. I didn't, and feel a bit sick now.
Great and deep story.....Thank you for sharing .....I could understand all
“As a lay person” brother, you have been a designer for BMW, in a video being uploaded by Porsche- you’re not a lay person.
Such a lovely story about a lovely car. What a feel good video. Thanks for sharing.
I hate yellow cars- but this yellow is very nice. I also have a 67 - it’s red- but should be gulf blue. 😂
My kids can fix it.
he raves about the great design of the 912, and how it looks so good and yet he designs disgusting cars such as this disgusting driving vodkabar at 3:59 🤢🤢🤮🤮
You sir have no say anymore in what is beautiful and not
Very emotional story…goose pimples!
Thanks to you recommended, aagain! Great video for car enthusiasts.
A very Beautiful & Sad Story ! Your Father must have been very proud of you
I'm curious.. what would that sell on the market today? thx!
Porsche goes Petrolicious!
This job was clearly contracted out to Petrolicious. And this is why it's good 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Bro, I'm crying :'' (
😪↗️😊
Beautiful story, touching approach of people and their cars.... Far beyond metal, stories of love and continuity... Congratulations!
My ‘68 912 was the favorite. My father, who had a Karmann Ghia, never understood Porsches until he had to drive my 1960 Drauz Super Roadster from Lexington, KY to Dahlonega, GA. He loved driving it. It was kind of a thrill to see him cruising onto the college campus.
Traumhaft schön ..
Die Farbe gehört zu diesem Auto 👌🏻
Such a wonderful Story about people and Porsche 😀❤
i had a porshe 912 nice but to hard to drive ! no pleasure was like a WV lol
My first ride in a Porsche was in a red 912 similar to the car in this story. I was age 13 and became an instant convert to the Porsche mystique. Now I own two Porsches.
Nice to see the respect for the practical 912. Handles like a dream. Great every day driver car. I miss the one I had.
I absolutely loved this video. My father loved cars, sadly he passed away before we could work on anything together. Now I have my own son, who is really into Porsches, and my dream is to work on a project car together with him.
Wish I had produced a video like this when I had my 912. It was a 69 tangerine. Last year 0f the 912. Most evolved of the engine and the chassis. Won my local PCA region auto cross with it. 310 point car at Monterey. And still beat most of the 911s in the autocross... Will forever miss that car...
What happened to it?
Nice to watch a video about the time a Porsche was a car, not marketing.
Love your video. My dad and I loved cars and restored a couple through the years. My father past away 31 years ago. This video brought back some really cool memories. Thank you for showing your amazing Porsche and telling the story about you and your father. God Bless!
Was für ein tolles video. In many thoughts I feel like your father: I want to drive a Porsche once in my life. Der 912 in „orange“ ist der Wahnsinn. Vielen Dank für diese herzliche Reportage. And it‘s so much bettet than watching Netflix. Grüße aus Straubing
Freut mich sehr! Grüsse zurück AW
A beautiful story and tribute to your Dad.
What beautiful story, what a beautiful car.
What a moving story. It's more than a car. It's a history for many families. Can't think of any other brand would fit in a position like this.
To me he was lucky to have you as a son, not only for having a porch. Great Job!
Great family storyline and what a result!
I'm an electric car engineer fixing up my 912 - just got back from a test run. My dad and I worked on his Lincoln Continental as I was growing up, but same concept... and carburetors!
Banana yellow!! 🍌😂
Ausgezeichnet.This story rings home to me about my German father and I (an Aussie boy ) and projects we did together. Thank you for your storey brought a tear to my eye remembering my dad
Superb cinematic experience, great story telling, top class car and a really nice guy. Loved this 🤙🛞🏁
Wonderful story, unbelievable restoration. Your dad would be proud of you 👍 THANKS
This is going to sound crazy, but this is the exact same reason that I LOVE the 924, so cool, not trying too hard
Thank you for preserving the history of such a motoring icon, a humble beginning of the Porsche 911 era! Your dad would have been proud.
Anders - are you related to Bent and Elsa Warming?
Awesome video 📹 🙏🏽😇 Air cool life 😎
Thank you for preserving the history of such a motoring icon, a humble beginning of the Porsche 911 era! Your dad would have been proud.
Awesome, wonderful, what a beauty
Absolutely beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. I love how the car looks to be smiling at :12:10 after it's been loving restored. Bravo!
Porsche makes the best roofs
Are you at liberty to disclose the resto cost of the beauty?
I have a 65/66 912... your passion has reignited my need to compete this project started in 09.. Great history as well.. thank you
I passed one of these the same color last weekend on the Illinios Tollway
What a great video, and I sure you’ve made your father proud 👍
