The Most Original Porsche 904 on the PLANET!

[@MrGrentch]

The Donster never fails to deliver in enthusiasm and the passing on of knowledge. 🙂👍🏻

[@paulsweet7867]

This IS actually one of the cars that made me realize I was a “car person”. Wonderful presentation Donald!

[@stuffhappens5681]

Donald Osborne is so wonderfully articulate. I could listen to him talk about cars all day. The chemistry between he and Leno is priceless.

[@327365hp]

Fabulous presentation Donald! Fantastic car, hopefully it gets to stretch its legs more often now.

[@Huskrrrr]

Watching this remarkable video is second only to owning this very special car.

[@thereisnospoon52]

Today your bowtie looks like the picture of the puppy with the one ear folded down. Thanks for all the Car Joy you bring us Donald.

[@mosca3289]

The originality is so much more exciting than a micron perfect restoration. Great content.

[@graycav56]

Awesome production values on this episode! Bravo!

[@renanjardim86]

Watching this video also puts a smile on my face. The 904 is one of my favorite cars and Mr. Osborn clearly speaks with sincere passion. I hope one day to be able to visit the museum.

[@75YBA]

All the best from Canada! You’re always a great host Donald and have amazing pipes!

[@TheMasterg39]

Mr. Osborne, You and your enthusiasm and passion never fail to deliver. Well done..!

[@richardbehrends3128]

Anytime you get to drive a Porsche 4 Cam is special. Keep on Smiling 🙂

[@miguelguimaraes4211]

Didn't know nothing about this car, I think it's the first time I see a 904. Thank you guys

[@automotivemuseumguide]

Can't wait to visit you guys!

[@johndavey72]

Hello Donald. I've listened to your appraisals on many motorcars. However, l don't recall you ever talking so passionately about one car . I believe this may be the most desireable motorcar you've driven and commented on . A euphoric and seminal moment in your motoring life l think Mr. Osbourne . ? I read the letter from Dr. Porsche , fabulous ! Thankyou very much Donald .

[@mikepelz7004]

Donald, your Clip on Sunglasses are so Classic!

[@matthewgallant3622]

I visited the Audrain with my fiancé during the women in cars exhibit, it’s a great museum and the people there are so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the cars. Was a little disappointed to not meet Donald there but I’m sure eventually I’ll shake his hand and talk cars with him.

[@DetroitMicroSound]

One of my favorite cars, in my favorite color, Donald!!! I have an Austrian Kromag - Steyr - Puch moped painted in the exact same color, made by the same paint maker.

[@craigyirush3492]

Wonderful opening line from the best-dressed car enthusiast!

[@TheSinkingGarage]

Most excellent way to have my morning coffee. Great work by all. Thanks!

[@gerarddion4859]

Great video presentation of such a rare car. Thank you and well done Mr. Osbourne! I can't wait to see it when I visit the Audrain!

[@ИбрагимИсламов555]

One of the most beautiful and fascinating cars ever made in history. It has something magic misterious in its essence.

[@FunAtDisney]

This is a perfect example of something you will never get in an electric car: The sounds and sensations you get from an internal-combustion engine!

[@mohmoudfarah1897]

Informative; thank you from Mogadishu.

[@fredericrike5974]

A truly awesome car, Donald. It is so many firsts for Porsche and at the same time some purely Porsche that is was born and lives in much of a class by itself. Glad this 904 has come to the Audrain's stewardship! Presently, one of my most cherished "bucket" items is Chuck Beck's homage to this car- at $80 K to $150 K I might find a bank foolish enough to let me play. Thank you, and Jay for "spotting" this treasure. FR

[@jeffreygagnon1852]

Great job Donald

[@owenlawson2416]

Beautiful car.

[@stephenstuart159]

Wow... what a great video of an amazing car...

[@nicks9707]

Donald is awesome. So is the car.

[@L3Trip]

Phenomenal video, and car, from start to finish!

[@kickinbackinOC]

That is so freeking cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@michaelwelschmidt9338]

“To live in history by driving a car” is a fantastic statement to explain those of us who prefer our daily driver to be a 20 year-old “modern classic” like a Porsche Boxster, Toyota Tacoma, or a Volvo 240 vs a new $45,000+ vehicle that comes with the burden of the payment, high insurance, and depreciation.

[@TRUE-WORSHIPPER952]

What a greatly informative video and narrative! also the music adds to the overall video rather than detract! Bravo!

[@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869]

It looks wonderfully modern today

[@derekspace]

Donald has forgotten more about cars than I'll ever know! Most excellent presentation dude! Every time I see he is on Leno's show I know it will be great. What a car tho! I been wanting one since the 80s when I read about them in Road and Track. Maybe the reason I drive a 2nd Gen MR2 now?

[@scottallen6664]

It may sound amusing and childlike. But by looking at the lines of this car, I can see it being the inspiration for the animators of the Mach 5. Just an observation, lol. This is a beautiful automobile.

[@jfk64kennedy95]

You have discovered Hanging Rock road and fallen in love, it sadly too short, but for that short run, you've discovered what the island youth for decades have discovered, it a fun lil road.....

[@williameichner7177]

Mr Osborne the car and yourself are a 10!!!

[@mikesiurua5677]

Thank you for the vid. Wow!!!!!!!

[@oms1972]

Wow!! Incredible story

[@paulgallagher3122]

[@clayfarnet970]

Perfection

[@tedsmart5539]

Butzi Porsche was a great designer. The 904 was his work.

[@henryhol8538]

Thanks for sharing! A mid engined car with buttresses that predates the Dino, love the look, now its at the Audrain, its going to get driven!👍🏾

[@carlmclelland7624]

In 1966-67, before going into the Army, I worked part-time for Al Cadrobbi (VP Engineering, Van Nuys, CA). One of the several racing Porsche's we maintained in the shop was 904-012. The car was owned at the time by Steve Berg and raced by Denny Harrison. Porsche announced the 906 (Carrera 6), and Steve put the car up for sale, for $6,000.00, intending to buy a 906. I told Steve... "If I had the money, IT BE MINE!" He replied, $5,500.00 CASH, and it's yours. I spoke to my (very rich) grandmother, and promised her my soul if she would loan me the $5,500.00. She wouldn't do it (I wasn't a favored grandson), but I came that Friggin' close to owning the car of my dreams..................

[@TheLambo123254]

good one

[@johnthorpe1349]

Guess this is were alot of Jay Lenos cars might end up great legacy 🚗💯❤️

[@timlarsen1597]

My 2nd favorite sports car of all time. (1rst is the Ferrari 250lm)

[@TNPTVconnect]

What is the beautiful violin music in the intro?

[@SB-kw6oo]

Beautiful ❤️

[@peaktraveller]

Cool.

[@farcohollis1369]

Donald: We call that smile SEG! S**t Eating Grin! 😁😁

[@BryceLovesTech]

Donald is a national treasure

[@telequacker-9529]

"Anyone can afford to buy the Mona Lisa." -Donald

[@jpkatz1435]

Could that be "If any one can buy..."

[@peruface]

Imagine a Singer 904

[@michaeljordan6008]

The most original is silver/black and owned by Ed Mueller. John and Ray Paterek did a bit of work on it.

[@chrismckay8349]

Literally

[@pcar5]

Key is on the wrong side???

[@danam0228]

Did this predate similar looking Ferraris and other similar looking race and sports cars of the time?

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.

[@gustavoflorio5383]

Donald doesn't loves us anymore? I want to hear him saying 😤

[@ricobobe]

😎❤

[@HoratioHoodoo]

More about the driving experience when you’re in car next time Don.

[@ezghthrt7733]

Just 3k miles? Did he actually race it?

[@bennyhannover9361]

3k Kilometers which is about 1.9 k miles. The 904 presented in Oktober ‚ 63 was used by works only in 1964 and 1965. For works use a six cylinder with 210 hp and a eight cylinders from the late Großmutter Spider was used 220 hp

[@bennyhannover9361]

I want to say the Four cylinder Clubsport Version was only Short time competitive for victory

[@glockparaastra]

Less than 3000km! Well I hope whoever owns it actually gets to drive and enjoy it. Otherwise a waste.

[@bennyhannover9361]

Design by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche under the Construction Race Chief Ferdinand Piëch his Cousin what more can you get

[@krazyhorse448]

Why buy a car like this and not drive it until the wheels fell off? Was the car more man than the owner? Did they think they could double the money invested in 5 years? Who knows? Cars like this were like a Egg, Saving it in the fridge only makes it rotten! You have to drive them to keep it fresh!

[@donaldosborne9565]

Nick Begovich had a collection of many amazing cars, but also was very busy in his work and also lived a mile away from his office. He drove each of his cars but not as much as I'm sure he wanted or intended to. For reasons we'll never know for sure he stopped driving his 'special' cars around 1980. But loved them and preserved them for us to enjoy and appreciate now!

[@maximoarturoarevaloperez5545]

No Porsche badge

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Not all of them came with a Porsche badge!

[@lesizmor9079]

Yes, cool antique, but that engine sounds like a very weak VW. 0-60 measured in minutes..... The excitement here is the nostalgia and the feel, not the performance.
