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.
@@user-uh5im5vd9o 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.
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!
I miss you, Dad.
What a great story and Bahama Yellow is so much nicer that that red it was for a while.
13:27 perfectly sums up the virtues that define a Porsche!
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 !
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.
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!
And we are lucky that you shared this wonderful story with us. Congratulations and well done.
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.
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. $$$$$$$
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.
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.
Great story. Glad you were able to restore it so beautifully! I’m sure your dad would have appreciated it as well 🤗
Coming from someone looking and wanting a 912, this was a great story.
Such a moving bitter sweet story
So wonderful you share your father’s passion for cars and Porsche
He sits beside you 💛
The picture in the meadow when the car was complete looked very similar to original Porsche advertising. Absolutely beautifully made video.
This beautiful heartwarming film is what Porsche is all about. Legacy !
Very emotional story…goose pimples!
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.
A very Beautiful & Sad Story ! Your Father must have been very proud of you
Beautiful! Your dad would have loved that car. You restored your Porsche to a Porsche. Well done.
Porsche lovers story, family story; good presentation. As a Porsche fan, it's living a dream. Enjoyed!
What a nice video....Great car, great father, great family......great wisdom.
This is definitely the best Porsche vid I've ever seen on UA-cam. Great job! Thank you so much.
A labor of love, and I think your father is smiling
another beautiful story about a father, a son and a car. love it.
Great family storyline and what a result!
Such a wonderful Story about people and Porsche 😀❤
Traumhaft schön ..
Die Farbe gehört zu diesem Auto 👌🏻
What a beautiful story.
Awesome, wonderful, what a beauty
What beautiful story, what a beautiful car.
The baby in the front seat is priceless! The car looks gorgeous! You’re living the dream ....
Nice to watch a video about the time a Porsche was a car, not marketing.
This is a statement from me as to why kids and adults love Porsche. I had a poster of the 928 in my garage , which was a dream to strive for, I got one and now I am looking for my 5th 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.
Such a great story and car. It’s beautiful!
Really cool restoration and the color is amazing! I love the bahama yellow and mint green from back then.
Such a lovely story about a lovely car. What a feel good video. Thanks for sharing.
To me he was lucky to have you as a son, not only for having a porch. Great Job!
A beautiful story and tribute to your Dad.
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.
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!
that Bahama Yellow paint job is so much better than the red.
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.
That color is amazing
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.
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
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.
Nice to see the respect for the practical 912. Handles like a dream. Great every day driver car. I miss the one I had.
This is going to sound crazy, but this is the exact same reason that I LOVE the 924, so cool, not trying too hard
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!
One of the greatest Porsche love stories I have even seen. It resonates so much how I feel about the Porsche passion. Thanks for sharing your story and I hope you continue to enjoy your 912 for a very long time.
agreed. my dad recently passed away and he had a 53 year love affair with his 1967 912 Porsche. he ordered it from the Stuttgart factory and picked it up back on June 16, 1967. the car turns 54 next week! all original still... refurbished engine in 2019. oh how he loved his grey "old fox' and what adventures he had with it (the car has over 200K miles). I'd love to put a video together about his story. one day!
@@pecanthecat Please do
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.
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.
I love the wooden dash and steering wheel. Really beautiful!
I have the same 912 Bahama Yellow but 1968
I feel the same love - same passion - same emotion than you.
Congrats for your movie - it’s makes me shiver
❤️ 912
Beautifully done
Beautiful Story, Thank you
Wonderful story with much character.More of this please instead of the one minute videos.Thank you.
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!
Beautiful story, touching approach of people and their cars.... Far beyond metal, stories of love and continuity... Congratulations!
Great and deep story.....Thank you for sharing .....I could understand all
a beautiful father and son story ... and an art piece yellow Porsche car ... kudos
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful a dream machine to stroll on Saturday ❤️.
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!
A great man your dear father.
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
Fantastic! We need more of these stories Porsche 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
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?
LOVE💛
Thank you for generously sharing your story.
Porsche makes the best roofs
Such a great story and a car that evokes so may memories for me. My father had a 1967 Bahama Yellow 912 from some time around 1967 to 1970. We lived in the San Francisco Bay Area so I cant help wonder if this could be his car! I remember when he traded is for a 1970 Audi 100 LS i was sad to see it go. I love this story because my dads love for so may things shaped who I became and even though he, and I, have had many wonderful cars over the years since, the 912 has always been the favorite in my memories.
"Ich liebe dich"😊
What a nice story!
Life is wonderful, isn't it?🙂
Very Beautiful Story
Best looking 912,I’ve seen the dipping of the chassis. The Germans. Don’t mess around when they restore. Quite impressive. Great story!
What a nice story , the connection and relation with your father , a true honer . And finally the gorgeous original colour restauration . Also fantastic to see the passion from this man , a designer himself for this car , Fantastic !
What a lovely car but even lovelier story and video. Nice job.
The colour is gorgeous. Enjoy.
Was für eine schöne Geschichte❣️
What a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing.
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.
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful story. This is such a great film to watch.
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
Super cool!
Wonderful story.
Wunderbar ! From where he is now, be sure your father must feel proud of what you've done with this car !
it’s all about the passion… beautiful to have a car with a soul… driving in loving memory of your fahrer … i have an 1965 elfenbein 912 😃again beautiful story, told with true passion, congratz
Superb cinematic experience, great story telling, top class car and a really nice guy. Loved this 🤙🛞🏁
What an excellent journey! Thanx for sharing with us! 👍 all the best!
Condolences to your father
Thanks to you recommended, aagain! Great video for car enthusiasts.
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 a great video, and I sure you’ve made your father proud 👍
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.
This man is like me. I like everything stock, if you need to modify it then why buy it? Good job Porsche!
Wonderful story, unbelievable restoration. Your dad would be proud of you 👍 THANKS
