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.

[@user-uh5im5vd9o]

dont lie.

[@SF_Native]

Thanks for sharing. My condolences to you and your family. I’m sure he’d want you to finish the project. 🙏🏼

[@JK-yu7hj]

As a fellow dad, I am sure he will be very pleased and will remain with you in spirit and in your heart.

[@thecop2482]

@@user-uh5im5vd9o aww :c sorry you didn't lose your dad at 19 years of age. What a disgrace you are

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

there’s always these kinds of sentimental comments looking for likes in any restoration video.

[@Guccimanny]

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.

[@richierich800]

I miss you, Dad.

[@cujoocujo]

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 !

[@udogrunhoff5936]

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!

[@DrCitrixmeister]

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.

[@LEJapproach]

13:27 perfectly sums up the virtues that define a Porsche!

[@nycshelbygt500]

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. $$$$$$$

[@joconnell3473]

The picture in the meadow when the car was complete looked very similar to original Porsche advertising. Absolutely beautifully made video.

[@ddaye1969]

A very Beautiful & Sad Story ! Your Father must have been very proud of you

[@deltazeesolutions7016]

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.

[@martinschillbach7386]

This is definitely the best Porsche vid I've ever seen on KZbin. Great job! Thank you so much.

[@macbookpro-991.1]

Very emotional story…goose pimples!

[@jockellis]

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.

[@stephenelder2783]

Such a moving bitter sweet story So wonderful you share your father’s passion for cars and Porsche He sits beside you 💛

[@nogroove3819]

Beautiful! Your dad would have loved that car. You restored your Porsche to a Porsche. Well done.

[@wizofoz7523]

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.

[@quietenglishman4179]

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.

[@IronmanS4]

This beautiful heartwarming film is what Porsche is all about. Legacy !

[@MichaelBath]

Coming from someone looking and wanting a 912, this was a great story.

Great story. Glad you were able to restore it so beautifully! I’m sure your dad would have appreciated it as well 🤗

[@billchurch1145]

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!

[@MsKita964]

Porsche lovers story, family story; good presentation. As a Porsche fan, it's living a dream. Enjoyed!

[@Sentosaman]

Great family storyline and what a result!

[@NLBassist]

What a great story and Bahama Yellow is so much nicer that that red it was for a while.

[@mookie714]

that Bahama Yellow paint job is so much better than the red.

[@SF_Native]

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.

[@amansaptrm5389]

What a beautiful story.

[@oscarxms]

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.

[@yueibm]

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.

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.

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.

Nice to see the respect for the practical 912. Handles like a dream. Great every day driver car. I miss the one I had.

[@jc87930]

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...

[@toptiermango2122]

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.

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.

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 !

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.

[@pecanthecat]

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!

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.

[@einautofan6685]

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!😊
