This 1968 Porsche 911L Was Just A Dream

[@m.n.6822]

This is by far the best car channel on youtube. The production value and content is top notch. Great moves. Keep it up, proud of you.

[@omarbuhagiar4814]

true. great videos editing places and cars

[@pakruojezieds]

it's SLAAAAAMIN

[@justin6378]

Petrolicious is truly one of a kind! their videos are allways top notch and refreshingly it's not just about pure horsepower but about the pure enjoyment of these fantastic machines! you don't need 1,000 + bhp to have fun! keep it up guys!

[@nunomc2815]

Petrolicious and a classic aircooled 911 ! What more can we ask for ? 😊👍👌

[@michaelmeliambro5117]

Oh, IDK.........a better car, for a change?????

[@supernovachampions]

From minute 7:31 you captured the "essence" of driving for me. I really appreciate the sentiment of these videos. Man and machine on the open road = everything is right in the world, ableit only in our minds.

[@120bpm_music]

Each your video is masterpeace.

[@ArrogantStump]

You guys are killing it with the soundtrack. Please, I beg you to share song titles in future videos!

[@phoebegoesvroom]

Fantastic car. The sound is intoxicating and the Minilites actually look really nice on a vintage Porsche.

[@MrScottiedub]

The super high production value of these videos is amazing! Thank you so much for making these videos. I enjoy every car and story.

[@JustinJaiC.]

Modern cars suck. Long live the classics.

[@HoldFastFilms]

all classics were modern cars once

[@JustinJaiC.]

+Hold Fast Films Sliced bread was "modern" once. Your point?

[@Dgannt]

Maybe some people back then also said "modern cars suck. Long live the classics". And some people will say the same in 30 years time. Many of the "classics" from that era were nothing but very unsafe and almost dangerous to drive. So were most of that times muscle cars. It's only when they get a touch of modern tech (modern suspension, tires, brakes, etc) that they become cool and nice to drive. Or drive very occasionally, like this 911.

[@jiffjiffernson7292]

Jai my boy, you and I differ on the driving experience of both a 997-991 GTS Cabriolet, 997-991 GT3, Panamera Turbo and Turbo S, Late 80's 911's. if modern, Audi R8, among others. A Honda V6 coupe 6sp is fun too. Jai, you have to get back to your cars now. We won't bother you anymore.

[@martinschofield5465]

Yep, you need a new car for the daily but for the weekend....? what new car would you buy? Old car option always better!

[@Pulsonar]

Only Petrolicious quality could have profiled a guy with the same life, mindset and goals that I’ve been striving for decades to hit. Fantastic, so much more than just about the car!

[@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm]

you have a guardian angle and he led you to your dream = must be a good person !

[@pope400]

You know, I'll be honest... I was almost reluctant to click on this video. Not because I doubted the quality, but because I honestly didn't know how else Petrolicious would do a 911 video. I mean, there are quite a few on the channel so I just doubted how.... fresh... It would be. Less than a minute in and I laughed knowing damn well I should never second guess the people at Petrolicious. This is a FANTASTIC video. Well done.

[@trevorhayes5414]

Just beautiful.

[@AndyRRR0791]

What a sublime car! That's simply wonderful!

[@virgilrytaar9083]

perfect film......there is no better channel for petrolheads

[@billrbca]

never get tired of watching the one :)

[@finnblu3002]

. . . " ...used car lot..." seconds after this revelation, I fell off my chair ... . . nice one P. . . .

[@dgarage9]

Beautiful car and great story.

[@GrandpaSStudio]

Soooo coool!!! I Love the edit, colour and quality of yours videos

[@automobiliac]

Fantastic work! One of the best

[@golfo0011]

Petrolious vids never disappoints me. Great one again !!.

[@TheStevemcqueen68]

Don't ever sell it, Great story, thanks for sharing it,

[@wolfalshehri6200]

Sir you are one of the lucky few to drive such a brilliant machine ... one day i will own a classic Porsche 🇩🇪

[@jankeymunter]

very nice garage!

[@nrs6956]

"Petrolicious" sorely missed. Thanks for memories.

[@Rich_Lambert]

Great story and awesome car!

[@joeluden]

From one writer to another - you Sir, have good taste.

[@Frankmejor]

This one is particularly good.

[@mcbullman5444]

Wow! That car is my dream car. One day - one day !! :)

[@kc7305]

Beautiful videos as always

[@thetreblerebel]

A replica antique Porsche 911 or an equivalent or a real rear engine Porsche from the 60s or 70s is on my bucket list to own build or drive.

[@klasseact6663]

Great video again Petrolicious!

[@cecilwilson5442]

Truly a fantastic story something is for you it won't go by you that's this porsche with the guy in the video awesome viewing true car custodian and its a life worth living thank you for the video 😁🌍🍀

[@ManikandanVR-VedanticStoic]

I can just smell that old NFS Porsche Unleashed in the music that you have put for this video. So apt for a Porsche! And the guy is awesome as well. Should I ever comment on the car or your videography? this time its more than a magnum opus

[@perez5249]

I was surprised to see Spike on Petrolicious. Spike is a true car guy with impeccable car taste. Love his show Car Matchmaker Where he tries to match people with cars. If you haven't watched it, check it out. I believe it's on Esquire network and Amazon video.

[@YachtReport]

Excellent car sir! Love it. I'd love an old 911 but they are so expensive (in the UK at least).

[@akjones9909]

Everywhere

[@TheRuVedicChannel]

This channel got really great really quick. Wish the vids were longer though - yes id pay for it.

[@batbawls]

Bad ass. They don't make them this simple anymore.

[@thorandmoljnir]

Cool video as usual.Was anyone else waiting for the bass line of Stevie Wonders 'Superstitious" to kick in near the beginning?

[@147258GS]

Fuckin brilliant! Cinematography amazing.

[@mcbullman5444]

Is this the very same actual red 911 L (no 8) car that was photographed by Porche`s photographer at Sebring in the late 60`s which later appeared in the advertisement, posters and brochures etc? wow!!

[@mcbullman5444]

Photos of no 8 here, www.flickr.com/photos/smuckatelli/6818134728/ and here (in the back) www.flickr.com/photos/smuckatelli/17302417031/

[@spykesta]

Yes it is Spike says so in the video and has talked about it on his podcast.

[@justintian1218]

Hmm that talbot mirrors!

[@beanman550]

Spike come pick me up; I need a ride.

[@TheMatthieudu06]

Someone know the name of the song at the beginning ? Love it !

[@IanFleming808]

"Too loud" this guy married the wrong girl

[@haraldfranck9]

This guy fucking wrote Seinfeld AND THE BEE MOVIE

[@AkatarawaJapan]

Anyone else have the sound go mute on iPads halfway through these vids? Only happens on the delicious Petrolicious. Haven't found a fix yet.

[@shreddedtyres2824]

Great vid! Dislikes? Whats that about?

[@andyrowe5758]

Do you still own it?

[@ConfusedShelf]

Does anyone know the name of the song used in the beginning of this video?

[@tulskiy5653]

Looked this guy up on IMDB. He wrote the Bee Movie. Not joking.

[@andreatomasella2125]

when the Lancia Delta integrale???

[@pope400]

What's the opening song?

[@saintpreferred9223]

Well, if you still have the car, hopefully you replaced those wheels with Fuchs.

[@carlosaguirre9643]

I visualize you driving this car and slamming those brakes every 5 or 15 seconds coming to a halt due to traffic jams on that PCH...

[@RAWSHIFTERS]

:)

[@blueskylite]

Lets be honest: Some American petrolheads are as boring as Germans. Using this car to "driving around, have a coffee and talk about this experience" is lame. Go on track, challenge some other guys with similar cars! Thats what this machine is build for! For the rest there are Ferraris and Aston Martins.

[@cicci0salsicci0]

Open message to all the car content creator on KZbin: Can you please stop making videos about 911s and M3s/M5s?? We got it. Great cars! But please, give as something different. Thank you.

[@joaolima16]

Agree! Lately, it is only German cars

[@ryanm3797]

Nah, keep them coming. You don't tell your grandfather to stop telling you stories on the same subject. Just appreciate that the man is telling a damn good story and let him be!

[@raserx63]

Wait ...this is the joker that would infuriate me on “Car Matchmaker” Client-“My old white Camry isn’t cool , I want something sporty” Ferenstein- “Here’s a white Prius with cool black hubcaps”. Gosh that show sucked and he sucked in it..sorry.

[@TheKaffeeKlatsch]

I'm happy this guy has this car.

[@mikeyerke3920]

"I'm not a golfer..." I like this guy! Gearhead!

[@evanboyer5928]

just discovered this channel recently, arguably the best one I've come across...

[@Gasinduced]

The stories they put together are beautiful.

[@TheOMGWTFBBQ777]

NEVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS

[@thhall459]

I am absolutely captivated by your work! I can't adequately convey to you how much I love this channel. Your subjects are exquisitely wonderful car people. It is fantastic that these folks lovingly use and care for their amazing pieces of automotive history. Live long and prosper.

[@lettersfromhelen]

That's my Porsche; No Soup For You!!! Come back, One Year!!

[@litearmr]

I literally just finished watching that Seinfeld episode lol.

[@SupercarAdvocates]

FTW... #rare & collectible whilst being that old school raw car. Porsche fever!!!

[@MindDezign]

Cinemaphotography was ...."RIPE" Classic Cars find new owners... New owners dont find classic cars Im happy for this guy.

[@DrivingDallas214]

he's hanging out in sienfield's garage? feel like i missed something lol

[@lettersfromhelen]

Was a writer on Seinfeld

[@TheBIGJake111]

until you realize theyre socialist and hate everything to do with cars and want us all to ride buses.

[@Skydrag.V60]

Lol he's not smiling when he's driving in the beginning

[@thermonuclearwarfare]

Great upload. Porsches from this era are pure and so much fun to drive. I have a 1968 Targa which I've owned since 1996 and will never sell.

[@Archer335]

This is one of the best car stories that I've ever heard! Excellent production by Petrolicious - as always.

[@sergeysukhanov1173]

Excellent review and owner!

[@courier007]

truly an irresistible car. Nice video

[@rockgin]

Wow! Feresten and "Dickie" Smothers just upped their street cred by a couple of notches... You're funny and talented, but you needed this one, Feresten.

[@SMCca]

What's up with the upside down 8? Is it an optical illusion? Am I going crazy?

[@SCR917]

Spike here. Since the car was delivered to the track in '68. There was no time to prep it properly. The store that sold number stickers was out of 8's so they used two "O's" It looked upside down in 68, so we did the same thing to this car. Authentic livery recreation.

[@kobenoyashi3394]

Haha I was wondering the same thing. Very cool car man!

[@James-hb6ee]

Beautiful car and wonderful video. Thanks to Spike for restoring this car and to Petrolicious for this superb video.

[@BlueL1n3]

This guy seems like one of the most fun guys to just go for a drive with, that Porsche and his love for it would make for a very memorable drive. Spike I'm sure I'm in a very long line, but just tell me when it's my day to go for a ride with you in your 911, because that would be amazing!

[@DaviLu]

I have subscribed to this channel a long time ago. Now I came back and I'm really surprised that this channel *still* has _only_ 500k subs! I mean the quality of the videos have always been like a 5M sub channel! They really deserve more!

[@DaviLu]

or does this "petrolicious" stuff appear somewhere else? How do they make money?

[@s.gossett5966]

This is the KZbin channel for a great website. Lots of great stuff there, you won't be disappointed. petrolicious.com/

[@petercerdenia4880]

“I’m not a golfer, I can’t stand it” I thought I liked Spike from his Hodinkee video, now I absolutely adore him

[@studid55]

I must say, I love all of these old cars that petrolicious has up on their channel but the problem is that I am 17 and can't afford any of these. When he was talking about how the race cars were worth nothing towards the end it made me feel a bit screwed over by the previous generation of car people. By the time I have an education and am making enough money to buy an old 356 or something, or something along those lines, they will all be worth so much that I will always be behind on cash. I see how little these things sold just a few years before I was born and it makes me quite sad. I know there will be future classics but currently they just don't hit the spot like 1960s sports cars :/

[@mattadrev471]

actually how you should look at things is like this....if you really like those cars you should work hard and try and make enough to buy one. Second, the fact they have gone up in price means there will be more surviving examples by the time you are old enough to buy one. No one buys their dream car while they are still a teen ;)

[@billrbca]

watched it again :)

[@sotirisnikolaidis4835]

another great video✌✌🖒🖒🚗🚗

[@pw_jc]

I like how celebrities and regular folks are treated the same on this channel.

[@SailBeforeSunset]

This is the charm that keeps me returning to this channel over, and over again.

[@beautifulfouse]

I have always said that if you hav'nt spent time on the Autobahn in Germany (especially in the 70s but anytime is acceptable) you do not have any awareness of the real world of Porsche,,,But this 68 911L makes the exception, it screams the Heart of Porsche.

[@coliban]

What a beauty! And what an incredible story, You bought a car which you had for ten years on a photo and realized it afterwards...Thank you for sharing!

[@zapher007]

No soup for you!

[@hieroglyph321]

The wonderful decision is living in that sunshine state with glorious driving roads! ❤

[@EnriqueReyesJrREALTOR]

The reasons that were expressed about the early air cooled Porsche is the reason why I opened my Independent Porsche Shop in 1980. Most if not all my customers were like this.

[@joaopauloluzzi5080]

Congrats! Besides of my Porsche passion, every video are even getting better!

[@Startshine01]

Thanks again Petrolicious !! GREAT !!!

[@ΙωάνναΤουτουντζίδου]

very nice video

[@bretd.6781]

Great story Spike! Petrolicious is the best way to tell it. Keep it up!

[@adam872]

What a great car and what a great story. This is what I love about Petrolicious.

[@karespratt5131]

Good man, keep revving that baby as long as you can!

[@JeraCravoMyself]

You guys nailed it! Thanks for that!

@Spike I have watching this video many-a-time. Still love it and your authenticity. It's why I am a SCR fan.
