My 1968 Porsche 912 is back on the road. In this video you'll see a few driving clips of the car and hear how the story unfolded when I was stranded in the canyon the last time you saw me.
This restoration took a lot of time, money, and effort. It's difficult to put into words how cool it feels to be here. Thank you for following this little series.

Another great video Michael. The guy that never made any mistakes never did any work! You’ve done a great job with Duffy. Can’t wait to see more of it. Lovin’ the orange 912💥🍊

You did it, Michael!! I know that it had to have been a LOT of work bringing Duffy back. He's living his best life back on the road now, and I think that's awesome. My dad had an absolutely beautiful '68 Bahama yellow 912 back in the 1980's. He got it by trading his '54 Austin Healey 100-4 that he had installed a stage III 426 max wedge into. Lol I sure sure wish he would have kept that 912 though!! It was stunning. He eventually traded it for a 280Z 😂 I know.. ouch.. 😬🥴

Very cool to see the 912 running Mike, sounds magic. It's been a good bit of work for you but surely it's all worthwhile now mate. In that condition it's a rare little gem that's only going to get better with each tickle that you give it. Keep us in the picture as you carry on enjoying her.

Congratulations - cool little motor….. a friend of mine had a 912 and what it lacked in power against my early 911 - it made up with character and on the back roads once I had momentum it was such a great drive. Personally, I do prefer having the confidence of the power of the 911 - just so I can get past slower traffic when needed. Great content keep it up👌👌

I will never be able to afford a new Porsche let alone a restomod (Singer/Sportec), my only option is to buy a project 911/912 and fix it up. Videos like this give me some hope that it is possible with older aircoolers and a home garage.

Great video, Mike! As I've said before, I love the SWB 912 and you listed all the reasons why, light handling, clutch and ease of use. I've been a motorcycle guy all my life and love the small bore motorcycles, you just feel like you're riding them and not them riding you. I really hope to one day own such a special car, love my SC but my heart is with a SWB 912. Good to see you and I hope life is treating you well!
@michaelgideon6422
@michaelgideon6422 6 месяцев назад
Steve! Comparing to a small bore Moto is exactly right. They're all fun truthfully. If you had a 912 you'd want an SC. Just a different experience. Hope you're well man!

Hey Michael. You're doing it right! Keep it up. Small note; you might want to talk to someone who knows racing config and safety belt dynamics to look at your over-the-shoulder belt rig. That's actually a not safe configuration of the shoulder belt anchor points. It's always something, isn't it?
@michaelgideon6422
@michaelgideon6422 6 месяцев назад
Thanks! I know it's not consider safe. Appreciate the concern. I'll eventually change the mounting points to a higher location. Cheers!

Think I did hear "favorite car" - drive a slower car harder or a fast car at a fraction of the potential. The first one seems more appealing almost always (unless you're on a track). Great to see your 912 up and running :). Have you ever driven a 914?
@michaelgideon6422
@michaelgideon6422 6 месяцев назад
With majority of driving being around town and quick drives, the slower car is more fun..unless on track..very true. Thanks Jack! I have driven a 914, loved it

Loved following the journey of this build! Makes me reconsider the plans I have for my 69’ 912. I was planning on putting a flat six in it. After hearing it’s your favorite car, I think I’m gonna keep it as is. Is your engine stock or did you install a big bore kit?
@michaelgideon6422
@michaelgideon6422 7 месяцев назад
If you plan on driving it as a regular car, I'd leave the 4 cylinder. I kept it stock, just a mild cam. It feels plenty quick unless you're on a hill climb
