I dare you to take it to the Porsche dealership for an “oil change” 😉
Nick Findley that's a good idea. That would make for a better video than the obligatory "I took my xxxxx to Carmax" video everyone is doing now.
billy mccabe Exactly!
That would be hilarious
You double dog date him?
Lol 😂
Doug DeMuro's next video: Here's Why the 2017 Apollo 911 is Worth About Three Fiddy.
the video we need
Seriously, he should let doug review it
Tree fitty
doug reviewing this car would be amazing
HA!! That would be *awesome* to see!!
That car graveyard broke my heart. Especially that Opel GT.
Please annoy more Porsche owners by transforming the front of it to a 997 Turbo.
FWD swap
Or annoy the 996 enthusiasts by adding vinyl stickers on the front headlights to make them look round.
nah... just twin turbo it
ANNOY ALL THE CAR GUYS
Add a ss badge
Look mom it’s doing it for dale had me dead asf
Cleetus McFarland reference?
DALE EARNHARDT MUTAHFUCCA MURRICA
C Biscuit Hell Yeah Brother!
i caught that too lmaooo
The purist mentality has no business here! I'm glad you spent all that money to entertain me!
JoshsWorld.com exactly
Word!
*That Porsche is not an iPhone to keep it as it is, it is more like pure Android full of pure shit where you need to waste life modifying just to make it work.*
Cody Slab
Found one!
Yeah. Agreed!
0:18 So sad to see a Opel GT on a junk yard :(
Noticed that too :(((((((
it's not that it's a good car or anything
[TECHNOLOGIC] it looks cool. Thats all what matters.
I feel bad for the E34 wagon too...
looks like it could use an LS Swap.
Love the doug impression 😂👌🏻
The intro made me soo sad, for seeing some "gems" in that scrapyard...
That 928....
Rafael_Santos that mercedes SEL ;(
0:19 What sportscar is this? Seems way too nice to be in a wrecking yard.
Seems to be a British sports car....
Those benzes:((
Opel GT
“Doin’ it for Dale” 😂😂😂
'rocket man' north korea confirmed
At first I was one of the purists revolting against it
Now I am totally sold, really nice 996
Let's not forget that RUF had similar idea before with the RGT-8.
"This porshe's doin it fer dale!"
Fucking died.
For the love of god...clean that back window!!! It's killing me! Lol!
Same here lol! I can't watch any of the in-car footage because it actually bothers me so much.
I have never cried at a youtube video... that is until this one and the intro segment of all those amazing cars left to rot in a scrapyard 😭
Jack Oliver Rob Ferretti did two videos, "Exotic Chop Shop" and "Ferrari Graveyard". Those were sad seeing all those cars that people wrecked or went up in flames, but at least they strip the usable parts and resell.
With all the weight over the rear wheels, makes this car a launch monster. I had a v8 pontiac fiero once, and it was insane how well it accelerated from a stop.
It actually has less weight on the back tires than the original engine.
You made a "modern" Tatra 700... Congratulations...
Carsten Langbo not true. Tatra was aircooled.
Pavel Sich I wrote modern as in "not like the old"
That Porche Curve looks So Nice with wide angle lens
X Blocky it absolutely does
I’m new to the channel, been watching from oldest to newest! Very entertaining. Nice to see a car enthusiast have so much fun. Keep giving us viewers what we want, high mileage cars, that you bring back to life, with lots of flair and entertainment.
"That Porsche is doing it for dale" 😂😂😂
Do it for dale
The quality of this channel gets better with every video. You should have way more subscribers.
Your car, your rules man! Right on!
I really love this car. It's a truly brilliant bit of kit.
It would be cool if you faced lifted the front to the newer Porsche 911 front clip.
Noor Fattah no
Definitely not. This is now a cool retro. Facelifting would make it a weird poser
04dram04 exactly
Put a Corvette emblem on the hood.
Also you need a sticker of a chevy making love to a Porsche.
Just the cid
this actually seems like a perfectly acceptable way to resurrect a clapped out 996
absolutely, I'd love one !
You are as weird and funny as you look. Keep up the good work and thanks for all the laughs. Do it for Doug!
Why not Dale?
3 videos in 5 days! Can't wait to see more about the Porsche. Well done!
this is the video we have been waiting for for 4 months
I thought we were at another Hoovie hooptie storage facility during the intro...
hh65flyer no we actually were ikr
Wow I can't even imagine, it must be nice to have 17 grand to blow.
he will make that money back with these videos he's posting! the advertisements pay well. It will pay for itself in no time.
He can write it off on his taxes thanks to these videos
I think Kramer said a similar thing once.
BLISSFUL FAPPER he isn't making all that much with the views he's getting. A few hundred a video if he's lucky I'm guessing.
they make around 2,000 dollars per million views. so if he gets around 200k per video after about 5 videos he makes like 2 grand or so. if he gets more views then he will even make more.
4:41 finally starts driving
This car is 100000 shades of freaking awesome. I love Porsche but this is the best 996 ever
The funniest parts about watching his videos is seeing where he is since we live in the same town
You need to buy a load of old cars from that junkyard and do a restoration video on all of em
0:17 - A Volvo E1800 an a Opel GT piled on top of each other. Thats an awesome scrap yard
Porvette
Corvorsche
Porsche z06
"chevy beetle"
I literally likes all these. Then bro killed all of em wit the Chevy beatle
I'm the 69th like of the main comment 😏
I LOVE that rev counter. Properly retro-cool. Keep it. I'd swap the exhaust to give it a nicer sound though. Great video as always.
your opening scene was great to see the Hoovie collection.
Dunno about that exhaust note under WOT. But the super quiet idle is pretty damn neat.
Now you need to LS swap the NSX. Imagine a Honda with torque.
Nooo, that junkyard is gut wrenching. It's like all the cars I love but they've been scrapped for parts
First 30 seconds of this video is Hoovie's REAL garage.
Two R129's in that junkyard? Hoovie, I'm crying.
3:53 sec "look momma it says corvette down there...........
😂😂😂
Hoovie you are hands down the best car youtuber. Never change please
"This Porsches doing it for Dale" :D
Just ls swapped my Dodge Ram. It's a beast! 700lbs lighter and double the horsepower. 23 mpg
MrPland1992 you ls swapped it or something else?
I LOVE it. What a wonderful Frankenstein car. Keep it, keep it, keep it.
Beautiful roar ofA Kentucky v-8!
Your story is a great example of what.not to do but entertaining
Bet ya that volvo on the begining still works like a charm
Cleetus McFarland will be pleased to hear you 'Doin it for Dale'. *Bald Eagle squawk*
YES...it will turn out better than a 911 turbo and C6.....Folks this death trap Hoovie just built is actually a MILD LS swap/tune. I personally would have shat thyself behind the wheel of just this mild LS 911 swap. Awesome job Hooovie...
People upset that he's spending money on a high mile project... Have you ever bought a low mile vehicle? 90% of the time it just means old parts and old rubber esp seals which means just as much chasing problems. Once y'all get it through your head that driving cars means spending money you'll be a lot less upset.
Facelifting the front of the car and the tail lights would go a long way, I'd love to see that done
Love the Jim Carrey reference.
Man, that thing would be lethal when cornering at high speeds
one moment you're on the road the next "i believe i can fly, i believe i can touch the sky"...tree!...SPLAT
That junkyard made me cry real tears
hoovies > doug, i say this everytime
In Czeckia the have put Tatra V8 in Škoda 120.
Some said that Škoda 135 Rapid (the coupe version of Škoda 120) was Eastern block 911.
A mate of mine did he’s got a 1984 911 running a k20 two dealerships told him to get lost haha one loved it
LMAO "This Porsche's doin' it for Dale!"
Choked on my lunch when he said he was going to give Apollo 911 a "Doug Score".
Please get Doug to review you car, Thank You! 😍
There is a lovely exhaust note of that car, far better than standard
I recall Porsche themselves trying to replace the 911 with the 928. It seems that you just did what they should have done. I'm wondering if anyone has been mad enough to throw a 928 engine in the 911? Keep the comedy coming Hoovster.
Awesome build and awesome video ❤🌹😎
The audio in this was sublime 👌
Hey Boss, personally i think it was worth it and you don’t let the haters get to you. Keep up the great content!
The first clip almost brought a tear to my eye after seeing once beautiful cars in a junkyard with removed parts 😢
Dammit that poor R129 Mercedes.
I own a R170 and it's sad to see her cousins like that.
And the w112
😢😢 my favorite era of Mercedes
I own a 95 r129 with 50k on it and I cried when I saw that lol
Porsche should have give you an engin for the 996......you are giving them a lot of free marketing. BUT....and a big BUT, you have proven your point.....Amazing Grace!
Please don't put a body kit on the NSX, it looks great as is. You should put a body kit on the Porsche, some crazy wide body. You don't see that everyday
Joe U RWB
New sub, so excited to see what happens to the Bentley!!!
Maybe you should talk to Haltech about the electrical stuff, they are pretty good at making all the original stuff work with other engines (as seen on MCM)
Aaaaaaaactually....... You can get cruise control by attaching the wiring from the TAC (Throttle actuator control, the little box the throttle pedal plugs into) to some buttons. This engine is throttle by wire, and all you have to do is attach the proper wires and the TAC controls cruise.
Oh- Maintainence on that motor is going to be a LOT cheaper than the Porsche mill, too.
TYLERRR We need more of Apollo 911!! We need an update! I know you bought it back please tell me you didn’t sell it back off we need a cam and some turbos on it to finish it! 😂❤
I love that tac hoovie man
Great Job on this video series, entertaining and informative. Fun to watch. Thank you
Shame you can't get the DeMuro bossman to come, give it a Doug score and run off again in some lighthearted comedic way this car deserves.
Ooo! Ooo! Just saw an Opel GT in that scrap yard!! V cool.
No regrets... come on Tyler, let’s be serious here. You’d rather have a nice 996 Turbo or 997. It does make for good content so that’s the top priority!
You need a loud exhaust so everyone knows it has the heart of a vette
WAY back HOT ROD Mag. did a Special Issue that highlighted some of the cars that didn't make the regular monthly issues. None of the in depth articles but enough to wet the appetite. The one that stood out to me the most was pure insanity. From the front it looked like a good looking Red 911 but WTH is that peeking over the roof? From the back all your attention was drawn to the Blown BBC straight off a Drag Strip somewhere. For the time it was built, it had some pretty impressive numbers and laid down some decent times as long as you were going straight. Times have changed tremendously since then. My favorite Porsche is still the 914 and NOW Hybrid makes a kit to give it the power that even Race Cars didn't have when they were new. I'd really like to see a modern Stinger Corvair.
Rocket man? Rock it man.
Love the channel mate been watching from the beginning all the way from Western Australia and it keeps getting better. Keep it up.. :)
I love the tach!
I bet the wizard's tinder profile is epic.
Kim and Elton are rocketmen
BRO! TOTALLY WORTH IT!! :)
Great video, should get new headlamps soon, HIDs to anything with a better beam !
I didn't know Doug owned an LS Swapped Porsche.
Great video. Guess your detailer must have missed the back window (geez)? Wizard's insight and brilliance shows. Impressive conversion.
Amazing grace.
You're a perfect example for children not to always cheap out
Man, is it me or does the 996 really starting to look good? I want one.
I would love to drive this car!!
The tach is the best!
