1969 Porsche 912 Targa - One take 

best owner intro and best explination of the 912 ever. well done.

Thanks for having me and the cars on, I had a great time. Hopefully the backfire woke some viewers up

Why are people paying 50-60K for these...because the 911 Targa goes for 100K+ ....These cars are about the driving experience vs speed..pitty that does not shine through here. The 912 was another one of those cars that saved Porsche's behind back in the day so we can still enjoy 911's now....respect your elders!

I remember looking at 912s when I was in college in the mid 2000s, you could pick up decent driver cars for $5-8k and the very best ones were $18-$20k. Of course, decided to buy a new Golf TDI thinking there would be time for the fun old Porsche later...

hawks cheap ass watches, shows up in every clip with Rolex.. gotta love it.

As soon as I saw the car in the thumbnail a voice in my head shouted "LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL BOY" Yes my brain is weird but dude look at it this car is beautiful

That backfire sounds like a paintball Gun

I would love to see Porsche reintroduce the 912 again, at around $70,000. No options just a choice of transmission.

You should have a code word for the MPH you hit. Like, "$125 oil change! $128, $129, $130!"

What a delightfully pleasant guest!

That first backfire scared the shit out of me, sounded like a puncture at first

*This car is much more desirable than these Frankenstein vehicles on this channel, the owner is a VERY personable knowledgable likable soothing reassuring voice. He really should have some part of TheSomkingTire with his CHRIS HARRIS it factor or his individual channel I would subscribe!!!!!!!!*

I need a good time piece so I can know when to take care of my sack.

I know it’s your hustle, Matt but those Vincero watches are crap. Same goes for MVMT and Daniel Wellington. We know you only wear them for the ads. Buy a Seiko instead.

Everytime I get one of these Vincero watches I wear my Rolex

Sneaky little Petrolicious sticker on the back window, nice! He's probably one of the best owners, or at the very least, one of the most knowledgeable owners to have ever appeared in a One Take.

Great owner. Thanks for sharing with us. I have new appreciation for these now. On the right canyon road like this looks like a nice momentum car. And just awesome to cruise.

Don't buy a Vincero watch. They use cheap Chinese manufacturing and are really $15 dollar watches being sold for $200, like many dishonest watch brands such as Daniel Wellington and Michael kors to name a few.

Thanks for doing these vintage cars and accepting them for what they are instead of comparing them to contemporary cars. My boss drives a 1970s 912 with a whale tail.

love the interior shots in this video!

Looks amazing in this color! Good car to have an enjoyable drive.

The Owner a super cool dude

ahhh the 912. The car my dad sold because I was born (1973). Two kids in the back of a 912 was pushing it already but 3 was the deal-sealer...so I grew up in a Volvo (and later an Olds) wagon

Wow! $200 for a Vincero watch i'm shocked too...i'm thinkin' $40-$50.

That is a gorgeous green. Thanks for sharing your machine!

I would use a sundial over a Vincero watch.

I love those old 911/912 targas. They look so weird and awesome

Those backfires are awesome hahaha

I'm always taking a shit at work when you guys upload... y'all watching me??

Couldn't figure it out in the 356 video, finally got it. This dude sounds EXACTLY like Rob Dahm lol

Mine backfires, too, after changing to Webers IDF40s using intake adapter plates. I think those might be leaking air.

I really like this model. This was a car i had a picture of on my wall together with the countach.

Top video, Matt, keep'em up

That backfire is hilarious

Its a Porsche, it does everything you want it to, great filming Matt

seems like you shoot a series of these videos in a day and release them over time. would be fun just to hang out up there with you guys and chat about these special cars you get to drive.

The backfires are cartoonish, I love it

The targa roof is so nice because it keeps most of the iconic roofline

Good stuff per usual!

Great looking car!

Drive that 912 more, it won't backfire as much. It's not as much of a car as a pet. If you let the car sit for a week it will complain, loudly. Just like that Targa is doing. I (also) have a 69 912, my mother bought it new in San Fransisco in 1969.

Great video. Someone please bring a stockish 968. I'd love to see one of those!

The backfiring is likely a timing issue. Try lowering the idle speed and advance the timing ever so slightly- my guess is the car won't idle below 1200 as is... try getting it down around 8-900. It should pick up some power and prevent you from having to heel toe on down shifts. Speaking from experience with my 70T.

Watched it at 2X speed...................100% HP gain! I had a bit of time on my hands, Thanks ;D

I have a 66 912 Porsche slicktop. Such a beautiful car.

I wonder if all the backfiring might be part altitude- mixture... (didn’t seem to start till they got higher)?

Such an awesome car.

damn matt, i liked the sweaty balls ad at the beginning more

My dad had a customer who had one of these when I was a kid, it was repainted Robin's egg blue, and had the Fuchs wheels. I used to try to scam on the girls when I was in middle School, by telling them it was the car my dad got me for when I got my license. It had some really skinny ass tires on it, and the wipers weren't worth a damn. Dude put an Alpine cassette deck in it with a bazooka tube and a CD changer in the front. Lights weren't worth a damn till my dad talked dude into putting some Hellas on the front.

Pure good looks

Have you done a 968 yet? Also love the free firecrackers

that's a beautiful car..

that face matt made when he did his first 1st to 2nd shift was him definitely thinking he went into 4th by accident but it was just that slow hahahahaha

I purchased my 1968 Targa in 1996 for 3k cash. In the last year, I haven't seen one sell for under 30k. At the time of this post, there is a near-concourse '68 on eBay for 105k.

what a cool car.

Was this the one at SCS yesterday?

1:09 actual review

@11:30 - That's the key, my mechanic always tells me to drive like it's a race car. Happy between 3000-5500. Get that car a carb rebuild/tune and a trans refresh and it'd be an amazing car!

When is the type r?

912s still win the PCA autocross trophies because it is 200lbs lighter in the rear and therefore handles better in tight corners than the 911. Solex carbs wear and leak gas into the intakes that is likely the source of the backfires.

Are there any cosmetic differences between the 911 and 912?

i just searched 356 and that looks pretty cool.

Is this where the term elbow rubbing comes from?

I watched this while on the toilet and got nervous when I heard the backfires.

Not sure why, but slowing the video down to 0.5 at 6:06 to 6:20 made me LOL.

Can't tell who's show it is. New co-host?

That was the first ad I didn't find cringy or annoying (unrelaed to whether the advertised item is crap or not). I prefer the normal speaking Matt Farah over the overly hyped, ball sweating sponsored Matt Farah.

Nice car. But I think something needs to be done about that backfiring... I maybe wrong, but won't that burn up the exhaust valves?

*Bring back green cars!*

U should do a giveaway for those watches since we all know you prefer rockin the rolex

1:07 start of video

Ya gotta do a 919 now lol

Vintage 911s are always in green.

I want that shirt !!!

The backfires grew on me, too - my 356 in Forza Horizon 3 behaves the same, in that a drive in it sounds like a gunfight...

He said quirks. He just trolled us all

backfire would kill me lol

Out here getting that watch money wearing vintage rolexes 😂😂😂

Dare I say it? Slower than an NA miata?

Fun damn cars. Slow as shit but fun.

Has anyone turbocharged one of these?

The car that sneezes

The backfiring is excessive...embarrassing for owner and Matt i’m sure. Excellent car though I’m sure its an easy fix...nice guys, made the best of the noisy ride!

Such a beautiful car, but the sound and power are so dissapointing

My ass makes those noises after eating a bunch of beans. :D

where are the jeeps?!?

the rich man's VW Bug. :) (just kidding guys)

The fly by passes could have been skipped. When I wasn't looking at the screen, it sounds like a Beetle.

To Andrew (the owner of this 912): Did you get what you wanted out of this experience?

People are paying $50K for a 912 because a 911 of the same vintage is $75K - and that’s not even one in good shape.

This things wants a 2 liter with an EFI kit.

He said "on center steering" every one take a shot

Shoulda kept original color and used a wrap..

A corvette of the same year would eat this.

Seems a lot slower than my 1800 cc MG

Lol. He said worm & ball.

launch task reservation eight audience flip imagine signal else indeed alone.

How come Matt never wears a Vincero in the one take?

Shame, shame, shame...... A Sony head unit, instead of a Blaupunkt, in a Porsche?

If I was a millionaire. I'd buy an rv , three garages throughout the u.s. Who doesn't love driving ?
