1969 Porsche 911E POV Drive - The Air Cooled Classic 2.0L Flat Six You Need To Hear (Binaural Audio)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лис 2020
- This 1969 911E is a great example of why the 911 made such an impact on the sports car market in the early days even with a small displacement air cooled flat six. In '69 the E and S received MFI and both engines were mated to the 901 "Dogleg" manual gearbox. This car originally came with the Sportomatic, a two pedal manual, but like most it was converted to a 3 pedal manual.

My favourite is a 964 Turbo 3.6 in Amazone Green, followed by a 991.2 GT3 in Signal Green 😍
I love different models from all generations. But the '72 911 S with the oil filler on the rear fender is something special.
I have had two 996 911 and a 986 boxster. They were all great cars, but the damn headlights always bothered me! With that said, the 987 boxster will some day be a forever car in the garage. The sound the handling (and the headlights lol) can't be beat.
The 70s 911s are my favorite. Specifically the RS and RSR racing variants. Of course clones are fine in fact because I love to drive so much a clone is preferred at this point.
993 love those. Thinking about selling my 997 and buy 993
It’s so appropriate that UA-cam captions engine noise as “[Music]”.
sooo true
Storytime: well after WWII my grandmother and grandfather took European delivery of a 911E and did a grand tour. As a young child interested in cars, they told me how the factory engineer took them up to triple digit speeds and then slammed on the brakes to display the stability of the chassis. Then then how my grandmother collected speeding fines in many languages as they traveled around Germany, France, Italy, Turkey and England etc. Their car was red, with chrome accents and a rear luggage rack, which was always piled with suitcases and regularly driven flat out. Grandma (even well into her 90s) would reminisce about how fun this car was to drive, and how much it goaded her to behave badly. My grandma was a badass, and I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video.
What an adventure!!!
That's so cool, long love your grandma
I worked for Porsche back in the day when the 911T, E, and S came out. They were ahead of their time I think. The mechanical fuel injection took an experienced Porsche mechanic to set up correctly. I did many of them and they all purred real nice when done. I'm not sure who you could find now to do that kind of work now. Those mechanical fuel injection pumps were very expensive and complicated. If I remember correctly they put out about 265 psi through mechanical injectors that would have to be pulled and bench tested with a special tool just to check even spray pattern.
Wow! That must have been an incredible job. Luckily in New England we have a few shops that can do the work, but unless you live in LA or Boston it must be very difficult to find a solid Porsche shop to service these cars.
I've got an old Chilton manual, and it describes in typical detail how to rebuild the engine, but when you get to the section on the MFI, there is basically a small paragraph that says "Here be dragons". Nowadays you can buy the factory manuals along with "Check, Measure, Adjust" which describe in detail how to tune and adjusts the system. There is also a ton of knowledge on forums like Pelican Parts. Also companies like Eurometrix and PMO can help with throttle bodies and hardware. Finally, having access to a dyno helps for the final set-up.
@@TedwardDrives There are little Porsche shops that are very knowledgeable all over. I lived in Anchorage and there is a shop called Culmination Motor Sports there that specialises in classic Porsches. They even employ their own metal worker who can make any classic body panel or dash from scratch the old school way. Had mine redone by them. The owner Ralphy does complete restorations and does amazing work. You wouldn't think that Alaska could support a shop like that but they are always very busy.
@@overbuiltlimitedmight be a long shot, but do you know any vintage Porsche shops in Western Europe? I want to get a 911 in the future, but I don't think it would be worth it without some proper shops in the area
@@nemrody7828 Sorry, I don't. Might try joining the local Porsche club and go to some meets before getting the car. The members will likely be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck!
This car is my ultimate goal! Too bad Porsche’s have skyrocketed in value.. love the ducktail
I know!! These were practically free not so long ago. Now the long nose cars are over 100k
@@TedwardDrives In 1995, I saw a Porsche 911S at 9k. No one wanted theses cars at that time.
You think 996’s will do something similar? I know they made lots of them, but still; even it is to a lesser degree
@@dr.lyleevans6915 yeah I think the 996 will eventually be the same way
@@dr.lyleevans6915 Not sure about the base model. But if you look on elferspot.com you see that some models in good condition are already highly priced
My Dad bought a '69 911E brand new when we lived in Germany. I was 6. It had all the German specs. I remember many trips on the Autobahn where he would tear it up, but other trips over the mountains through Bavaria, or along the Mosel valley on the backroad into Luxembourg and France. It was all about the sound, and how that thing handled through the curves. As a six-year old, it was a pretty exciting thing to watch that thing blast by trucks on the Autobahn doing 125...
They don’t make them this beautiful anymore.
My first Porsche was a 69 911E! Loved that car! So much fun and the handling made me feel like a God! Thanks so much for the memories :) !!!
This has become my favourite car youtube channel! I feel like you are truly one of the very few people out there who really understands what sports cars are about. Not about showboating or 0-60 times, but about pure involvement and fun
Thank you! I'm thrilled that you can see and appreciate this part of the culture
All 911s are so special in their own way. I'm always drawn to the 964 generation, it's the perfect blend between the classic styling and the modernization of the design.
Ahh, me too. 993’s are my holy grail though, but both have rocketed up in value
Whats the difference between the 964 and 930?
"If you're gonna have an old 911, you might as well have a bright orange one"
Wise words my friend
Have to admit, I bought my 70 911E because of this awesome review! I love you
Wow what an amazing machine! That sound is intoxicating. There’s just something so special from older porsches that no other “older” car can match. Another great video man 🔥
Greatly appreciated
Those 911 videos that you make are the embodiement of "Driving a slow car fast is better than driving a fast car slow"!
Thanks for the great content! Lately my best lunch breaks are those that I can enjoy watching a new video of yours while I eat 😁
wow thats incredibly kind! Thank you
I love that color so much, and I had no idea cars even had fuel injection in 69.
C2 Corvettes had Fuel Injection i think in 1963! Kinda wild
Right? I was pretty surprised to find out mechanical fuel injection had been a thing for so many years.
@@TedwardDrives idk about cars, but even as early as the 1930s, some aircraft had fuel injection, and it was standard fuel system for nearly all german military aircraft during ww2, while almost all of the other major powers were mostly using carburetors of some form, barring some exceptions
II believe that the Mercedes 300 CSL was one of the first production cars with fuel injection -- a mechanical direct injection system no less. It came out maybe a year or so after the Corvette, but the system was in another league when it came to performance.
@@TedwardDrives The original 300SL gullwing mercedes was the had fuelinjection in 54. It was not the first car with injection but it could be the first production vehicle (except for diesel engines)
I can’t wait to drive my first Porsche 911 one day. Porsche has come a long way. Their refinement in their cars today is out of this world. I’m truly grateful Porsche didn’t let the 928 kill off the 911. Great review.
I wasn’t really a Porsche fan but not to long ago I fell in love with the 992 and after watching some of these Oldtimer Porsche Videos I fell in love with these too 😅 great video 👍🏼
We need more of these old 911s
What a gorgeous machine. Would love to drive it, even if it was for one day.
These classics are so underrated too. People often prefer a 3.0 930 or a 3.0 SC. But I think the 901 and 912 can be magical as well! Thank you for sharing this moment with us Ted!
Never get tired of seeing those fenders on the drivers point of view
Love the old generations of porsches
until you enter a corner too fast
this car never fails to make me smile😁
Man you are so lucky you get to drive these cars
Thanks, helps during winter months when the toy is hibernating. 77 911S TWB
I owned two 911’s an ‘83 and ‘87. It was like sacrilege to suggest the 915 gearbox was better of the two. I am totally in agreement with your comments, I really enjoyed the 915 much more. Sadly both have been out of my life for a few years now. I still regret parting ways with them. Thanks for a delightful drive in that beautiful sounding ‘69 911E.
This car's awesome!! I love the sound. The whole driving experience must be amazing :)
Back in the day(60s, 70s) my dad had a variety of cars from Corvettes to Mustangs, and the one the he seems to have the most notable stories about is his Austin Healy 3000. People have their own version of what 'sports car' means but small, nimble, and quick isn't a bad start.
I‘m so glad I got this video recommended by UA-cam. I‘m a huge Porsche Fan but I’ve only driven a G-Series Carrera 3.2, a 996 C4 and a 997 GT3 yet and this video gives me an example on how it would look and sound like to drive a B-Series 911. I really enjoy the camera perspective. Please do more Porsche videos.
Thanks for sharing this piece of art with us!
My pleasure!
Air cooled 911s are like handmade moccasins....classy and fit perfect
Never had any idea/appreciation for dog leg gearboxes until this video.
Thank you sir.
This one sound immensely tick-free for an old Porsche. And, opposite the newer Porsches, this one has less of a boom and more of a warble. :) Thank you, Tedward, my headset and I are very happy.
Wow. This thing makes the 992 look like an S Class Coupe by comparison😳
A little piece of the dream😍. Your dialogue absolutely nails it in this one. What a perfect car😍😍😍😍😍
YEEEESSSS, thaks tedward you always cheer up my days with your content!!, keep it coming!!
Great video as always. You put us at the wheel with you 😎 And great 911 too.
One of my best memories of driving was when I was driving my MR2 across country (the Netherlands, small country) and about halfway, I was met with this beautiful classic 911 driving in the same direction. White with a blue stripe down the side with white letters "Carrera". Not sure if it was an actual 70's Carrera RS, but I love to imagine it was. We kind of interchanged who was in the lead a couple of times while driving normal speeds with a few quick sprints. Like the driving style in your videos. Great fun!
I love finding a road trip friend...its incredible to have an unspoken relationship with another driver on the road that really enhances the experience
Man that sounds great ! Love the MR2.
What gen MR2 do you have? I have been thinking about getting a last gen MR-2 Spyder (MR-S) and 2ZZ/6-speed swapping it. It would be an even lighter and more powerful Miata with mid-engine tossability.
I’ve owned Porsche’s, and may get another someday. I just can’t justify the prices anymore.
@@dr.lyleevans6915 SW20, so second generation.
A 2zz/6spd 3rd gen sounds like an incredible driver's car and will be amazing to drive!
That's Lotus Elise/Exige territory
@@dr.lyleevans6915 what Porsches did you have? I have an ‘81 911SC and love it. Definitely not the fastest car on the road (I think minivans today have more power!) but a ton of fun.
It's so fun to watch these videos, it's almost like being transported to another place in time. Also that orange is delightful!
I hadn’t even seen photos of the car before I drove it. I was thrilled when the owner pulled into the lot and I got to see it for the first time
Sounds so perfect! What an immersion!
Dang. What an awesome car. I've always appreciated the earlier 911s.
I love the color! There is something to be said for a car with usable speed.
Man those older 2.0 or 2.2 sound so much better than the later 3.0 and 3.2. So raw.
My first 911 was a '69 911S in that same colour, back in the eighties. My 4th 911 is now a '96 993 C2. There is nothing like them!
Old Porsches are so charming.
Wow this is my kind of ... everything. The color, the shape, the sound, and the mods, make it a little bit better without changing the original behaviour, but make it suits you a bit more. Time capsule like. I like this era because you're right, in the 80"s they started to make the cars a bit more ... 80's, technology started to appear, efi, abs etc, in the 70"s, you the steering, pedals, and the feel of living through every pore !
Tedward does it once again with them Porsches. Keep it up👍🏻
Thank you!
I have a 73 911E 2.4 MFI and a 93 Carrera C2 3.6 and though there are so many evolutionary similarities, the 2 cars are very different though, feel weirdly the same. That's what's so cool about Porsche and especially, the air cooled cars. Besides being their own unique design, being bespoke/ handmade gave each of these early air cooled 911s their own distinctive personalities.
These cars are like meeting an old friend after 20 years apart...you may look a little different but its still the same person under the new appearance. Just more experienced
@@TedwardDrives Perfect analogy!
These videos are perfect, thanks for making them and sharing
Thanks for watching! It's incredible that there's such a strong community who appreciate these cars
Special car and great review. Love those roads! Motivation to finish my '77! Keep em coming! Hope to have mine in NE Mass next summer. Lightly molded 2.7 ;)
Thank you!
I like the B roll shots of the exterior at the beginning, a nice little twist from the full POV videos
My videos used to be all these kinds of shots but they never got any attention 😂. All that money on cameras and drones and this little GoPro is what gets the attention. I’ll start blending here and there
Love the quality of this channel
Thanks JP!
Long day at work... see a notification from Tedward's channel for a classic sports car I can't wait to punch out a 5 to watch it!
Right on!
Holy shit this video was filmed in the town I live in, I recognize the roads and the gas station
Another great car another great video Ted!!!
About the 'Le Mans' ignition lock. Some say it's just to save on cable ... which has something to it, knowing that Porsches used to come from the sort of 'Scottish' part of southern Germany .. anyway, it's really nice to hear the US boy speak about that baby while over here I remember being totally blown away by a Big Block '71 Corvette convertible and its terrifying rectangular exhaust openings . ⚽⚾
Pure fun to drive the 60s 911.
I love those long shift throws
I'm a simple man, I just want an older Porsche (930, preferably) Also Thank you, Tedward! I watch your videos most mornings, makes me excited for the drive to work~
Awesome. I just drove my dad’s 1976 911S 2.7 with Weber carburetors and it sounds like a 917
Mildly jealous.
Haha I’m only 15 but I drove it about 2 hours at 85 on the highway and it rode pretty nice
Love your videos!
I recently bought a 1971 T with an S engine. I've been driving it a lot and even though it is a delight to drive, you do have to drive it hard to get the best out of it. Can't be lazy with it
Thank you and Keep those revs up!
There is something special about the small engines. A 914/6 with a stock engine is so small that you have to push it just to keep up with modern traffic. But guess what? It rewards you with that amazing sound screaming MORE. It is made for that.
Ahh what a gorgeous sounding car! I put in my earbuds just to appreciate it all the more. It's too bad that these are so expensive but with that kind of driving experience I can completely understand why. Also, that is probably the tightest old 911 I've seen yet. I didn't hear one interior rattle or squeak. I wonder what's been done to the interior to make it so solid and quiet?
If there's something you can't enough of in this world then it's 911s
These things are beautiful
When 160 bhp is more fun than a modern 600 bhp behemoth.
I love the old 911s.... as everyone else does too lol. Still looks and sounds great though
Driving a 911 - all eyes on you 💯
I think you really nailed the difference between the European and the American car: the joy of cornering the back roads. Especially in the northeast, nothing is better than taking an older car or motorcycle through the forested roads in the fall. Great video.
Thank you!
Awesome review thanks
Love this vid. Would like to see you drive a swb 912 someday and hear your thoughts
Hopefully one will pop up! I've heard a lot of mixed reviews of the 912 and I'd like to make up my own mind
Deep in thought with Commando.
What did you do with Sully?
Arnold: I let him go~
2:05 startup
2:39 let go
Aircooled Porsche sound is always incredible!!
👽🤡🙌🙌
I was waiting for you to go on the highway😅, but love the video bro
haha maybe next time!
What an awesome car. A go pro mounted next to the exhaust would be nice to appreciate the sound.
Eargasm has arrived
Tedward,
I'm a big fan of your videos. They are very well done, and you have certainly given me lots to think about with your stories and knowledge of cars, finance, and more. I especially love the videos where you discuss your choice to quit your job to pursue a more fulfilling journey, and your cautions of being financially conservative/not giving into "keeping up". As a younger person entering college and then the workforce, but also as an avid car enthusiast, I really love what you have done, and your past profession of mechanical engineering really speaks to me, as that is what I'd like to do with my life.
I'd love to hear from you. As someone with not a lot of income, unfortunately I cannot support you right now through patreon, but I hope my view and sub are enough.
Thank you for a new outlook,
Matt
Matt, I cannot thank you enough for this comment. It definitely helps me continue to inject my own life into some of the videos and keep it as real as possible
@@TedwardDrives Keep doing what you're doing, you have no idea what it means to some of us :)
astonishing job in the first 10 seconds of the video blurring the license plate lol
Beautiful video, thank you. Where are you driving ? Somewhere Eastcoast ? Greetings from Germany. I drive a 992 and took it to a roadtrip after watching your video 😁
Beautiful Machine !
In 1969, the Americans had far more power (this was the absolute peak of the small/big block “muscle car” era). Italians and the British may have had the looks, with their Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s, Maserati’s, Detamaso’s, etc. for Italy, and Jaguar with their XK.
America even had the Shelby Cobras (Daytona’s as well) with optional Ford 427’s, that smashed track records that stood for decades.
But Germany. Man... They just have that *something*
Great review of this beautiful classics 911. I have a 1979 928 which has limited slip and a dog leg 5 speed and wonder if it the same manual that the 911 used. I'm also curios as to how many 60's - 70's 911's have the limited slip option as their doesn't appear to be many with it.
I appreciate the air cooled Porsche, I've owned a 71, 914 and a 79, 911 SC
I have to say the 99, 996 is by far the best driving machine of them all. And the Affordable price makes it better.
Quit worrying about the troll’s comments! Great videos. If you’re not sure about something, don’t say it. look it up. Keep on doing these videos 😉
best porsche by date
wait i commented?
This is a timeless 911.
Oh man, that sound 🤩
Now this is a great car.
as a subaru owner i still recognize the sound of a boxer engine in this car. gear ratios are short too. in the 60's it was different
This car actually has longer 3, 4, 5 gears than stock. That’s why there’s a big gap in the 2-3 engine speed
Now that is a beauty!
My dream car to buy one day!
I wanna see more Kei cars, they’re awesome!
K-cars???
What a beauty
For various reasons the only thing i can say is:
Nice!.
😂 I’ll take it! #giggity
loved the car, do more vids on older 911s
Hoping I can source more of them! It’s a real treat to drive the long nose cars
This is how I feel in my 1.5T Civic hatchback six speed on the CT backroads
I love the color!!
Beautiful!
What a fantastic car.
Porsche NA H6 sound never gets old
I'm going to go ahead and like before watching this... Wow!
Haha what a legend
12:50 You should do a video explaining all of the different variation and changes, etc. I've always been very confused about all of the different models, both modern and vintage. I'd love to see a full guide, all the way from those older ones to modern 911's.
the porsche 911 story by Paul Frere is a great book to learn about it.
That dash style stayed the same well into the mid 90's
