Charles Damery Hey Charles, I got bitten by the Porsche bug nearly 3 years ago ( actually even as a kid with the wall posters & all that ) anyway I got my first Porsche & haven't looked back, it's a Sunday car for me but she's a beast, 1983 SC convertible ( guards red ) air cooled, flat six, no power steering, no ABS, no airbags, incredible exhaust note, anyone out who has dreams about owning one, you just have to do it, trust me you won't regret it.....

This is one of the best car stories I've ever heard. It's great that he has such a good sense of humor about the whole thing.

your guys video series is going to be legendary if not already.. i know 20+ years from now we can all look back and admire your guys work and aspire to it!! hope to see you guys around!

I've been reviewing new Porsche cars since 2010, but these old cars never get old. I have a deep passion for these cars...This is a wonderful video and a man with a lovely story. Greetings from germany, it's a german thing but not just for germans :) - TheGetawayer

What a cool guy

This car is beautiful, clean and understated, no stripes or spoilers or any of that other crap, perfect color, too..................

Many years ago when I was a teen maybe 12 or 13 I went to visit my uncle in California. He has a 1970's era, light blue metalflake, 911 SC Targa. I got to ride in it for a short trip and I was totally smitten and in love, and have been ever since. My memories of this car are very vivid and like it was yesterday. Its something I will never forget as long as I live. The glorious sound, and the sensation of speed, are absolutely intoxicating. I've owned a 76' 914/4 which comes close but still isn't quite as satisfying as a real air cooled 911.

steel wheels look excellent !

This is the first petrolicious video I have watched. I subscribed before the vieo was over. Geat shots of the cars with the narration in the background.

A very respected shop out in Long Beach. This video could be two hours long and probably still would not scratch the surface of all of Johns stories.

I wish this channel had millions of views so more people can enjoy these videos.

One of my favorites.

Correction: 911's appeal is a Universal thing...

Nice music, nice fellow, awesome cars. Yet another great work, Petrolicious. Thanks guys!

*300K fully restored?! GOH! Just get a new GT2RS for same price.*

Drive Fast...DRIVE HARD! that's what Make's the Porsche 'SMILE'!.....Cheers from Canada!

The most amazing thing to me is the fact that the original paint is still intact and looks that good. I would love to see some close-up images of it but from the video it looks really nice. They have all of the resources to make it perfect but felt that it was too important to have the original paint than a respray of the highest level. Original paint is precious and that was fully recognized.

A 5 minute ride after the guy beats the shit out of your car? That's so fucked up.

Wow. Porsche will always be Porsche, what tingle my ears is that plesant rough voice on top of the sweet music and sound of aircooled boxer six. True petrolhead, beautiful episode. Just wow. 💙

Miles fricken Davis. i love this song.

The best 7 minutes I have spent today. :)

he completely blew that STOP sign .........

Classic 911 look sweet man .this my dream car

Still one of the best owner vignettes you have produced - YET!

sounds like something by Miles Davis

Loved his stories! Nothing like driving a Porsche!

that is my favorite car I have seen on this program, once again..well done Petrolicious!

I like the way he talked about his experience...a true blue Porsche guy

perfect music, perfect filming... what a car. is has the perfect porsche stance and thst engine is a masterpiece. that man is old money and veerryy lucky. very fortunate.

It's like a poor man's Singer. Well done.

I can't believe how you guys don't have more subscribers. Every video is so interesting and just nicely put together

Terrific production in this feature. Another great spotlight!

Wow !!! great video as always. The footage is just beautiful. Top quality production.

Great film, loved the music as well!

I love the old air cooled cars. Don't think ill ever be lucky enough to own one but one can hope.

A very nice story, glad I found it.

I love the cinematography, the sound track but most of all I love the subject matter. After 6 years without a Porsche this, and Magnus Walker, have convinced me that the time has come again to invest in some 911 goodness. Air cooled naturally... Look forward to the next episode. P

Beautiful.

Wow! What a great story. Now that's what I call true love.

Great story and awesome looking 911

such a tasteful channel. seriously great work again guys. world class stuff.

Just sth magical about air cool 911. Love the music.

Beautiful film work total eye candy

This was awesome!

Awesome video, great story!

Thank you Mr. Wilhoit.

i clicked 'like' before the vid started. thats how much i like this channel

very nice story, I love how people put older cars on their feet to see the road again. Same happened to me back in 2000-2001 when i saw 996 turbo sitting at Auto show, my jaw dropped, I was still in school- Smiling and checking the car out, thinking I will never own one, only in dreams, BUT it did happen, after hard work and years of saving I finally bought one--- I'm sure this is the car-that i will never let it go.... I'm coming from bmw's and audi's - I also prefer German cars :)

Great story!

Great work m8's . I love this channel keep the good work.

Just wow, best job ever

My favorite car forever!

PERFECT! Absolutely perfect! I'll take mine in the same color please with all accompanying modifications in tact thank you very much! Incredible builder and restorer. Love when someone takes any Porsche and makes it better than Porsche themselves did but leaves it looking pretty much stock. If I had a Porsche hot rod, i'd want it to look stock on the outside, and be a hell raiser when you stepped on that accelerator......the ultimate "Sleeper" Porsche.

Great video!

Awesome Movie!

excellent soundtrack

you guys have the best channel on youtube!

Great guy Great story Great car

911's have gotten so expensive that they're out of my price range. I am, however, looking to pick up a first gen (986) Boxster. As someone who's owned and driven both I'd love to here your opinion and comparison of the two.

Love these videos keep it up!

Love it!

I would say that blue 911 and you sir are match made in heaven

Tuesdays are my favorite

Lovely car. Not crazy about some of the bits (color, wheels, steering wheel and seats), but mechanically (SS 3.2, 915, Boxter brakes), it's perfect.

I'm Lovin it

John is the coolest.. Liked my 912.

Great story and amazing restorations. Tho the fact that the gentlemen said you could drive his car after taking the Alfa for a joyride, and then backtracking on that, was not cool. Still, looks like it turned out ok in the end.

It's just a matter of taste! For me "Morning Ritual is unmatched... Anyway this is trully the best channel for car lovers Cheers

Overpowering of the suspension is a feature, not a bug. You'll never know the limits of any car without it.

tony mazzuchi Sure thing...and thanks for asking! When you stand on the throttle (gas) and the car starts to behave differently under acceleration, be it whether the car wants to push (understeer, or go in a straight(er) line) or to oversteer (the rearend stepping out and over-rotating...spinning), or maybe even squat, changing the weight bias from front to rear, effectively lightening the front end, will change the dynamic handling of the car, and not just turning of the wheel to steer into a corner. Being able to utilize this type of thing takes a LOT of experience behing the wheel, and the Porsche handles a bit differently than most other cars simply because of the rear-engined/rear-drive layout, so even more practice (and nerve) is necessary to push it to its limits. The more power you put to and given chassis, the more pronounces the effects of that power have on planting that power becomes. Does any of that make sense?

VTEC YO it's a vital part of getting the most out of a sports car. Breaking into a corner shifts the weight balance to the front and gives the front tyres more grip and reduces grip at the back helping rotate the car and cuts understeer. Lifting off mid corner however can reduce grip at the back due to the weight shifting forward and can cause snap oversteer and a spin. Putting your foot down will transfer the weight to the back and give the rear wheels more grip to most this seems counter intuitive Adding throttle as yo come round the apex gives more grip to the back and means you can accelerate a 911 earlier and harder out of a turn. If you drive any powerful car you will feel weight transfer but the feeling is exaggerated in a 911 due to the light front end and the heavy back end.

That was an awesome video! I want to own a 1987 Porsche 911 carrera coupe or cabriolet some day.

Great video

Der gefällt mir!

thank you:)

what man has made, man can make again.

i'm glad u don't mention prices and costs in all your videos, petrolicious, or i'd have stopped watching these having walked out of here with my tail between my legs ;p haha. I'm afraid 200 grand even before accepting the car for restoration is way out of my league. But a beautiful passion noticed, and masterful artwork! Huge respect! And thank you petrolicious for another brilliant video.

0:13 Anyone recognize the blurry sequence and sounds? Nice homage to McQueen's LeMans.

Porsche...there is no substitute!! " I had a German Shepard too" lol. That's funny!

I have always had a German thing too First car 1970 VW Beetle Second BMW 2002 Also owned a 1972 BMW 2002tii But my dream car has always been the Porsche 911 A 1971 911S would be so cool

His voice is relaxing

The guy with the 356 should have kept his word and let you drive!

There's just something about driving the 911 or even a Beetle. Really enjoy driving my Porsche, and making it better....

It makes sense depending on how much detail work they're going into. Singer charges twice as much. Plus if you really want one you can still get a very good 964 for less than 40k.

Holy fuck, those cars are beautiful.

I have almost definitely seen that blue 911 heading north on the PCH in San Luis Obispo.

Late Porsche 911 en mi alma!!!!!!!

I fucking love this channel.
