1968 Porsche 912: Third Owner
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2020
- As a product manager for Porsche, Jonas Reinke’s career has taken him from Germany to Australia to the United States in an ongoing journey that has provided plenty of company cars to test along the way. He appreciates the modern machines and their mixture of history and cutting-edge capability, but his love for early Porsches goes all the way back to his childhood slot-car setup, along with a particularly memorable day of driving spent on the Great Ocean Road in a 1972 911E.
Between the slot cars and the real cars, it all led Jonas to the one featured in today’s film: his daily-driven 1968 Porsche 912. Between the classic design, the unique experience that comes with any analog car with an engine in the back, and the ability to perform the majority of the maintenance and optimizations on his own, Jonas has found a car that he can enjoy every day of the year, on the road or in the garage.

7:02 the “click”. Anyone who’s ever been in a 911 knows that “click”, followed by the scent of the interior and then followed by the thunk of closing the door and finally the sound of the engine firing up. It’s like a symphony of Porsche.
Since when has a cement mixer been a Symphony???
This is not nice, sold my 3.2 5 months ago. It hurts.
@@freliaz I'm so sorry to hear that. Due to health issues, I also had to sell my '88 Targa Carrera several years back. I still haven't gotten over it. I remember that "click" very well. And shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear was always a hoot.
Wonderful story, this is what makes Petrlicious so good to watch. Looks like the car found its rightful next owner.
First time I drove a classic Porsche was in a 356C with my dad in a rally. We came in first overall. Sadly he passed away earlier this year, but it has to be one of my favorite memories of him.
Truly a cherished memory. These are the types of memories that I hope to leave my son with. And they don’t even need to be that sexy. A day spent wrenching on a car together or just a quiet day fishing could end up being the best memory of your life.
@@overbuiltlimited So true :) Hope you and your son get to make great memories.
Mr.Reinke ....I would have to guess that Ferdinand would be proud to have you represent His legacy ! SALUTE !
Thank you, my first Porsche was a 68 912 5 speed in the same color as this one, Porsche red I think its called, great memory to see one driving. I purchased from Casey's Used Cars in Hermosa Beach across from Vasek Polak. All the best Petrolicious!
This guy is living my dream jobwise and car-wise. I’m so jealous
I know someone who lives in San Jose and her 912 just sat in the garage for 30 years. She only put 2600 miles on it in that time! Thank you for using yours!!!
Could watch Porsches and Alfa Romeos all day long
@Salvatore Caruso Lucky me, I have one of each! 😎🏁
Agree bro,but i hope have toyota 2000gt
I’ve had both two. And in my neighborhood are two of the same cars I had over 20 years ago. 1969 Porsche 911T and a
1973 Alfa Romeo 1750
Both cars are in my neighborhood waiting to be resurrected from sitting for years. Both owners are my friends. I’ll have them in my possession soon. 🙏
Agreed bro
And could ride them all day long, if I have the money of course.
Great to see a young person enthused with these older cars, 27 years ago when I was 20 I drove a 68 912 it was quite an experience. My father didn't buy the car opting for an 85 TVR 350i however a few years later he swapped it for an 88 9113.2 that's more like it!
What a car and beautiful piece of engineering.
The second owner was fortunate to have found a gentleman as passionate as he was about owning and continuing to care for the 912. And a German gentleman no less! :)
Right now, I’m at the, “One day I hope to own an early 70’s Porsche” stage as well as the, “One day I would like to live in California” stage too
You are the worthy third owner. This car is very lucky to have you as its owner. Porsche history is fortunate as well. I love it when survivor Porsche's wind up in the hands of people who appreciate and care for them. Thank you for sharing your life in this video.
You can drive an old Porsche on a regular basis, because they are designed to be simple and reliable.
That is the right car for coastal Cali, windows down instead of AC can work. The roads north of San Fran are awesome, especially 128.
I was born in Stuttgart in ‘47.....had a ‘73 914 in 1981 and finally in 1987 got a new Carrera cabriolet which I still own.
This car is so beautiful.... and you can tell the owner just loves it to bits.
Let's hope it remains whole!
There's something about these old Porsches for sure. Would love to try one of them one day. I'm more of a vintage BMW fan but this is a different world I'd love to experience.
Amazing 911 Porsche I drove a 1972 911 2.4 S Targa 190 HP in the 80‘s for 5 years I loved it !
912.
🙈yep a 4 Zylinder 912 😉
I owned a SWB '66 912 and upgraded to a SWB 911 and have to say the 911 feels more special, however the 912 has a sweeter balance as the engine is much lighter than the 2.0lt unit. I will definitely be looking to add another 912 to the family at some point. They are great cars!
Ok .....if you notice the way the button clicks when you open the door. You know that the car bug has bitten hard.....love it.
Great car indeed! I see you are a good coffee lover: La Pavoni coffee machine at 5:00 ... something else in common: Porsche lover (356 being reworked). Recently bought a MG TF youngtimer, a British underdog.
The person and the car are lucky to have each other. This is a good one.
Of the six running Porsches I’ve owned, my ‘68 4-speed in this same ruby red is my favorite. Handling was out of this world - like my 944 - and I would pretend I was in a 935 even when driving slow. I took it to the Chattanooga Porsche dealer where a service manager asked me to take it to a private shop because they couldn’t justify their labor rate for such old technology.
Great memories. !n 1967 I owned a Speedster, then a 356B, got married and my wife and I bought a 1969 912 Targa. in 1969. Car cost us $144 a month, and our apartment cost $125 per month, but we had fun in that car.
Had the chance to see a Porsche 901, the handbuilt prototype. It looked a lot like this car, but the funny part was none of its parts were interchangeable. Everything was a completely different size. They didn’t stick with the 901 designation because Peugeot sued them, claiming the 0 in the middle of a number set was their trademark
Great story, enjoyable to see someone appreciate a classic automobile!!!
Sehr cool! Halt ihn in Ehren und bring ihn mit, wenn du wieder nach Dtl kommst. Bis dahin, viel Freude damit. Übrigens: der 101 nach Norden lohnt sich auch!!
yup 101 n
Thank you Jonas for sharing your beautiful car. I wish you many happy years of safe and enjoyable motoring.
I've said it before but it's really nice to see Petrolicious doing pieces on the "average" car guy who has a dream and he works hard to get it. even if it's the "base" model I'd happily watch this all day over the people that have 7, 911's because they have a ridiculous amount of money. and good on him for driving it. they're meant to be used, not hidden away to appreciate value
Agreed!
I had a 68 912 back before I had kids.......lol
Wish I still had it.
The 912 is my dream car and has been since I was a young boy. Every time an owner of one is on Petrolicious my passion for Porsche really does grow. Jonas you're living the dream !
This is shot on Westcliff Drive in Santa Cruz, awesome video.
I drove my Jaguar XE on this road and thought I was cool, but man, this dude has me beat by a mile. I haven't driven many classic cars, but it seems like it'd be very enjoyable.
It is appropriate that Jonas, from Germany working for a German car company becomes the third owner. The seller cared about who would be the next owner and he found the perfect buyer in Jonas.
Beautiful SWB 912! I have a "work in progress" '69 912 that is now a '73RS tribute car with 2.4E engine. I just came across a non matching # '67 912 for sale and I'm thinking of making the buy. I've always loved the 912 because it has an engine that I know and can work on myself. You have inspired me to make the 912 my daily driver...if I end up making the purchase. Thanks for posting!!!
Fantastic purchase for exploring the 1. Fortunate young man!
What a stylish car. The man is so humble. So down to earth. Yes indeed it feels always like you are on top of the world when you achieve your dream. It must be such a pleasure to be a Porsche engineer and then go and get one of these old classic Porsches. In fact that would apply to any car...
Dreaming of owning one or two someday. I just love Porsche 911's!
The previous owner was hunting for a proper custodian and this guy fits in perfectly
I'm so lucky to have a '69 912. I love that car so much, way the best purchase I ever made. Of the 1960's typ A the 912's had the best balance.
Don't you find it super slow? I mean do you honestly enjoy driving the 912 with so little power or have you modified the engine?
My Father has the same back in 1968 . he choose to travel from Belgium to Germany & buy it at the factory . Than coming back with it & journeying 500 miles enjoying it . IT was in navy Blue color one .....too bad he did not pass it on to me . It had the little 4 cylinder 1.6 i think - before they came with the fact 6 in the 911 .
Another lovely, evocative, atmospheric video. Thank you, Petrolicious! 🙂
IM 😎
This is how Porsche and every Company should choose their employees. No silly assessment center and stupid questions. Just find out their pure passion for the job
Oh what a lucky man he was!
You must be an ELP fan :-)
Amazing car! But most of all....i love the stories behind every single oldtimer car... :)
Awesome car, awesome guy, awesome life story, awesome video.
Thumbs up 👍
Very nice video! Thanks to this lucky guy!
I think there may be more 912 vids on Petrolicious than 911 vids now...
Although I am a Ferrari lover, the vintage 911s are so beautiful 😍
Such a great video/story. Thank you.
Awesome, another Porsche video. Gorgeous car.
I think this car recently. Very cool. Love the 912
Great respect for you driving it everyday, kudos.
and keeping it so clean
Yet another delightful film. I don't know what it is about old Porsches. They're not beautiful cars in the way most Ferraris are. The engines are in the wrong place and sound horrible, like an expensive VW Beetle and the handling is borderline lethal in the wet. And yet... and yet... I'd love one.
A gem.
Very nice video. Beautiful colour!
I owned a fire engine red '68 Targa that died in '89. It sat for the next 9 years in two different homes til I sold it. I sure hope it's being driven proudly today, by somebody who treats it better than I did.
love it, great video once again. Lovely 912 with its passionate owner
Schoenes Auto! Liebe Gruesse aus Campbell, California. Take care of your beautiful car and enjoy driving it.
Best Volkswagen ever. . .and my favorite car of all time
Heavy duty VW. I had an opportunity to purchase a 912 at a good price back in 1990, but it needed a clutch and I gave it a pass. I should have bought the 912. I did buy a 911 at a good price but eventually sold it. I'd love to have the 911 back. Regrets!
My favourite cars are the old Volkswagens and Porsches.
Nice clip!
Feelgood all over this video 😁
Very emotional episode 💔
What a beauty
Now we're talking
Ravinas Herath q
He needs to tighten that fan belt! Other than that, perfect car.
😍So Inlove with Porches, especially the 911.
Porschilicious???
Why not though?
Marque mythique ^^
I have no problems with this
Hi Petrolicious, we love your video contents and perspectives that are related with automobiles. We aim to produce the most quality video contents in Turkey to can see everyone who loves cars like you! Thanks to inspire us!
Always a joy!
Awesome car.
Porsche is the kind of car that you'll pass your house just to enjoy it that much more.
Beautiful video 👍🇬🇧
Super video. Super Farbe. Super Einstellung. 🙏
It’s not a new Porsche but a new Driver! I own a 01 996
Congrats!!!
Beautiful.....
Jonas is now Rivian's VP of Product Management under former President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America, Kjell Gruner.
I have the chance to drive one every day as well. A dream come true. The sound of the engine is not at all realistic in the video. Although not a 6, it nevertheless has a fabulous music of its own, powerful and promising. Cheers
This is amazing! However, please can we have a video of a vintage 911 with no voiceover, just the cars very own symphony 😁
Great job, great car, living the dream!
Daily driver, as it should be. Good for you!
Wooden steering ❣️
I love that car
porshe point 912.,., klasik retro.,.
Awesome Maybe if I buy a Vintage Porsche I can get a video made too!!!!!!
Denn Fahrzeug kommt von Fahren - klasse!
Absolutely beautiful
5:36 there is a small dent 😬
Did he mention that he drives the car every day?
The video is beautiful, and this car, my god...
Wish I could afford one.
I’m sure you will one day 👍
Mr. Petrolicius please something about Alfaholics, Superformance or Guntherwerks.
Bin von Melbourne nach Stuttgart umgezogen. Hoffe es funktioniert genauso anders rum xD
I am missing new videos from Petrolicious :(
Has anyone else noticed the Apple Watch strap? It looks great! Do you know which one is it?
Does he drive it much?
Petrolicious needs to check out Jay Aldeguer aka "aircooledph" here in the Philippines. He is one of the biggest Porsche heads here in the country.
Applaus - sicherlich genug Ärsche geleckt bei Porsche - um jetzt da zu stehen - wo du stehst.
Wow!!!🚗
