"Barn-find Porsche 356" - Matt Hummel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Matt Hummel's love for vintage automobiles has led him to many interesting places, but no car has captured his imagination quite like his 1956 Porsche 356. Follow along as Matt attempts his most ambition adventure, going 20-miles off-road from Joshua Tree to Big Bear in a 60 year old classic.
After having the dilapidated Porsche for over a year, he decided to get it running in its current condition and hit the road. Since then, he hasn't looked back.
Much of California has been tamed by this NorCal barn-find, but one of the places he has yet to conquer is the 4x4 OHV trail from Yucca Valley to Big Bear, Burns Canyon Trail (2N02). That's all about to change as he attempts to complete the 20+mile off-road trail in his 60-year-old vintage sports car from Stuttgart.

Matt is showing the virtues of the fabulous torsion bar suspension. Just like a beetle it will go anywhere. Although this is thoroughly pissing off 356 enthusiasts somebody had to show you how tough these little hand made gems are.
It shouldn't, they rallied the hell out of them.
Love the 356 with quite a passion and seeing one in this condition isn't that painful.
Some people are out there using GT3 RS in rally when they're track weapons; it goes to show that no matter if it's a modern 911 or those old 356s, they can do anything you want them to do. Porsche is Porsche, they're a canvas, you do whatever you want to them, it's your car at the end of the day.
It's April 9, 2020 and the world is on fire with the CoronaVirus and we are all in quarantine. Watching this video got me out of my depression and made me feel good about life again. Two thumbs up!
At first i thought 23 minutes was too much but it just flew away. Absolutely stunning work!
+Emre Akcan Some stories are worth telling at length! Hummel's is one that we thought was worth an extended look. Glad you enjoyed it!
Couldn't agree more, a very 'different' take on how to treat a museum piece like this and a different take on life in general too. Great direction.
Cool car yes, museum piece, not by a long shot.
chefgiovanni
I think he means museum piece as the history of how this 356 has been used and enjoyed, used how it was ment to be, where it's been driven and capable of, out of the common car show, concourse type car that lives parked in a garage!!! Tons of money restoring them to then stare at them and afraid to get some scratches is pathedic unless you are an investor and have a collection of 10 cars or more to sell later at a profit!
Yeah that is one way of looking at it. It is cool to see it going off rod and being driven. I heard of a few of them Concourse 356 cars selling for 500k recently.
This is one of the coolest, most passionately made videos I've seen in a long time. Kudos!
That has to be one of the absolute best videos I've watched... Amazing! We have a '58 A Cab and it is really weird how you feel like that when you drive it. It captivates your sole and take you to a place you have never been. You want to go off and tour the whole world with it. It really is that good. If I was allowed only one possession in life, it would be that car. ...and I would be the happiest person ever! Thanks so much for such a special video! Franny
🙌🏼 it’s always amazing how quickly they get under your skin and into your soul! - Jeremy
This dude is my hero.
+Taylor Ray a real Desert Outlaw!
My hero too! He mentions giving the car a purpose by taking it out of the barn and then maybe it gives you a purpose. True, and well said.
saw this dude with his '56 356 on petrolicious. Like this longer video!
Me too, I was looking for another, longer video with him and has porsche ! Awesome !!
The thumbs down people have to be depressed, hate life or something!
Love everything about this - Living in the moment in your old porsche.... You're doing it right Matt! Very well made.
that was really cool, grass roots earthy car guy story, a true man and his machine story with simplicity and purpose.
Dude you are a champion. Your story put me in a very good mood - I admire your attitude towards your 356 ALOT
Bravo to one of the best films I've ever watched in my life. So many 'collectors' of cars bubble wrap them and hide them away in their cocoons, never to seen or used, hoping to make it safely to the next stingy owner. But here we have a young man who has figured it all out. Cars were meant to be driven, enjoyed, loved and, most importantly, used to create unforgettable memories. After all, we can't take the cars with us. Thank you for this film.
People want fresh cars so they work well and have few to no problems but that puts the value up. And then they are too scared to use them properly in fear of “devaluing” the car when the real value comes from the memories made in that vehicle
Terrific work! Inspiring and fascinating at the same time. I came here as a Porsche owner expecting to see a short film about a classic Porsche. What I found was so much more. I'm hooked.
Killer stuff guys. Matt's Petrolicious piece is one of my favorites that they've done and his story definitely lends itself to this extended format. I'm really looking forward to what seeing more from you - keep up the great work!
Holy crap. That was so cool. Beautifully shot. Great message. Sweet car.
on humans and cars... or perhaps a homeopathic dosis of self-reflecting... such a great attitude! perhaps the right attitude, the important thing is not the object, but the subjective experience...
Wow Ive wanted to find a Porsche movie like this & its so well made & so much fun. Thanks guys a truly heart warming film :-)
356 might have been tested on these type roads, but they were not intended to be driven on it.
That was soo cool !!! Excellent story ! Excellent adventure !!! Excellent video !!! Thank you for sharing that !!!
I don't understand how is the pan not completely rusted. You'd do this once in europe and your car would morph into dust. Is this the low humidity?
I'm so glad Matt does what he does but I can't help but feel envious that he got into classic P-cars before the explosion in value. as someone who's grown up with them becoming pricier seemingly by the day, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to afford one, even in barnfind condition, so I'm grateful Matt shares his experiences with his online.
loved the video, excellent work!
I always want a 356 but now I really want one.
That was cool my man , I'm glad you did that video.
I wish I could smack the "Like" button 100,000,000,000,000 times. Congrats sir, you are living the life. Thank you for sharing.
would be cool to leave the car wherever it decides to rest, Porsche -"its been a good ride, see ya around"
Absolut yes!
real cool thought man, thanks for sharing it!
More people should adopt the spirit of exploration and discovery and appreciation of the twists and turns of life and self. Bravo..dude...great stuff
Thanks Matt, great segment. My father had one when I was a toddler. I still ahve pics of my sister and I in it.
Amazing video and story, keep it up y'all, maybe someday I can do something like this but not in my rx7 lol its too nice.
"This car and I started driving everywhere together" is a line that has come to mind dozens (or maybe hundreds) of times since I first watched this video about 5 years ago. Each time I remember, it reconnects me to my unique fascinations and the parts of myself that exist independent of any desire for status or acceptance from society. Thanks Matt for sharing some of your perspectives/interests/adventures, and Jeremy for crafting such an eloquent window to experience his story.
Nice work Matt and Jeremy! I always enjoy this car and Matt's a good dude. Fun to accompany you on this adventure.
"Maybe the person needed to be taken out of the barn more than the car did"
This is why I love cars. They give meaning to life.
This guy and his Porsche and just in general this channel are making me want to buy an old VW bug like I wanted to in high school (pre 67) and just drive it. I don't want a restored one, give me one with some patina and I'll be happy....this guy is loving life and his love for his Porsche is beautiful. I hope to be like him some day soon
This dude sounds like a surfer living in the hills ...I own a Porsche and I don’t baby it but I do take care of it cause it did cost me some hard earn $ ..I would like too think my son can have it some day ..but to each his own ...he can enjoy his the way he wants
This is such a good video, the first video i have seen on this channel. For a small channel like this, You guys have such good videos, Keep up the good work and i am looking for more videos like this!!!
That's well above mint condition in Illinois!!!!
Congratulations to everyone who is part of this beautiful production !!! inspiring to me. I want to know which camera you are using and the times you chose to record it was very beautiful.
A few People actualy can and live Like Matt ..I do
this is not a car story it's a love story......and I'm soooo happy for this amazing Porsche and his owner
hey Matt you should do a collab with Doug demuro
Um no.
What the heck are you babbling about???🤔🧐
This my favorite RUclips video of all times as of today :-)
Going on ebay to buy a 924 ...
Matt's tent has a hole, not surprising given his perchant for old and beat but useful and interesting things.
this makes me proud to be a car guy
The essence of the 356 is so eloquently captured by these visuals of it intimately in action, making tracks, plying the trail. Reminds me of the feeling I got playing with my matchboxes in the dirt.
I will watch this again and again and again love the car and the scenery is so lovely.
Wow, absolutely phenomenal story.
Off-roading in a Porsche...gotta love it!
356s are indestructible!
This guys talks way too much.. Verry nice saying all this dreamy stuff, but like most people, I got to work... Can't just leave everything and go just like that...
That's your opinion, and i respect it. But you can just go.
Well u can't but he can, so get over it
Bad outlook on life man.
You can, but you’re too comfortable where you are to risk anything. A meaningless life
I thought it would be way too long at 23 mins as well. But after watching it 3 times I don't think it's long enough. Beautiful film, and I don't even like cars that much.
I have a 1963 356 Super 90 that's in parts right now. This motivates me to put it back together. All I need is time and a pile of cash!
I think i have commented before....but what a great happy video......watching in Leighton Buzzard Bedfordshire UK. Whilst cooking and drinking Brewdog Lost larger (breaking the no alcohol Monday to Friday Rule) after a long day .....the video is like the therapy to unwind to for a few minutes... forget the crappy UK weather all the global unrest.....drift into planet 356 California.....
"Maybe the person needed to be taken out of the barn more than the car did." Thank you!
this is everything I love about older Porches and German cars... love it.
Matt is living life to the fullest. I envy that.
You can do it too!
@@jamesdunn9714 I wish I could, but I can't. I am married, baby is on the way soon. How can I enjoy going for long drives in my bug when I have so many damn responsibilities at home. Or if my wife comes along, then it ain't the same as going solo, or having a buddy. When I try to work on it in the garage, she comes out and bugs me. I wish I was single. My old bug days of fun and carefree are long gone. Is this guy single I wonder ? Seems like single guys get to live the best. My life stopped at 37
@@bugnut82 Marriage can be a challenge. Matt is single as am I. Sometimes I just wander off usually on a motorcycle with no particular destination in mind.
I ride motorcycles and just go sometimes. Camp in odd places and drink beer when the sun goes down. I have newer rides but my ride of choice is a '86 BMW R80RT. I want something older and funky. A friend bought an old Guzzi once for twenty bucks, patina with good mechanics, rode it forever. Purchased at a yard sale. Love this video.
Back in the 80s I took my 66 Java green beetle on many similar adventures. By removing all but the driver seat and constructing a long low platform on the passenger side I was able to sleep comfortably in the car. With a Coleman two burner stove it was pretty luxurious “camping”. I worked on a reforestation crew and for months drove nothing but logging roads. On several occasions I was the only vehicle to make it through a bad section that lifted four-wheel-drive trucks were unable to navigate. I wonder if the beetle has slightly better clearance than the Porsche?
When you said porsche tested the original ones on dirt Well, you then said what kind of car company does a Porsche's is a engineering and design company? Not a car company. Look it up, they just happen to make cars DAMN FOOS CARS
Question I own a 356a 1958 using original yellow plate from ca 1956 if your car is a 1956 why is it that you have a black plate from the 60s.
Ok. The car and footage are stunning. The background music doesn’t match up and oversteers the engine beats … the amazing thing about the sound is you pretty much hear the special high ratio of the 4 speed manual which totally unique to the 356 even on idling it might resemble a bug but at soon as it accelerates it is a different story and sounds totally cool and characteristic …
I did these types of things often when I was 18, great times to some requiring rescue . Unfortunately life requires each of us react to what comes to us. But i will always have those memories to share with friends. Turn your lights off!
Another way to enjoy your fun beater cars is to make them available to property masters for production studios. They’ll pay you for the use of your cars and you get to show them off in movies and tv shows.
I believe I saw this guy on Petrolicious! My biggest question would be how does he pass California Emissions inspection?
I had a 1972 targa 911T in Colorado and used to drive it on forest trails, high dirt roads and Jeep trails., Way too much fun.
Well Done Guys !!!
A real car for a real guy. Kind of sad when these cars get restored to the point where owners are afraid to drive them. Driving them is kind of like walking around in a white tuxedo. To each is own but to me that is missing the point.
I used to own ratty CJ7 Jeeps, I could go anywhere and not worry about it, now I have a new Mustang Convertible, worry.
The whole time watching this all I thought was this dude is if Ed Sheeran was a car guy.
A great story and gets to the essence of why you might own an old car like this .
I think you've mixed up this thing (Porsche) with a Kübelwagen???
Super RAD Hummel! Good work Jeremy, Valkyr & Praemio!
Awesome car. Enjoyed the video. The 356 is my dream car.
I have a 1971 Karmann Ghia, this is how I drive my car every day...! It’s mechanically perfect, and it is my only car...
Thanks for the video I don’t feel so bad about my Karmann Ghia not being perfectly restored....!
Best video Ive watched in a long time!!!!
Thanks Kody!
Your vids are the truth bro, production value all over, and dont think I didnt notice the drone shots, if you ever need an intern or assistant im here.
well who needs a 4wd when you have a porsche 356!
This video could have been longer. Engaging. You all captured magic here.
I wish it would never end
It has the vintage futuristic look. Really cool.
Wonderful filming work!!!!
Great channel. Really unique.
All the best!!!!!!
+molekulaTV 🍻🍻
22:10 Well, that's a nice chap you're talking to
Hi . Can you make a new video with wearing vintage outfit driving this cool 😜🙏
That is a very nice story, I restored 3 356 a beautiful thing to do
What's the music at the beginning of your video ? I love it !!
Ok, she survived 70 yrs and the kid beats it to death in no time by going off road
the car deserves not to be driven thru a mud puddle,... being so very rare, it needs saving
hi im you just a few steps n years back can you help me id like to pick your brain
Only thing I would do different is convert it to an alternator and add a gas gauge.
Excellent video.
This reminds me of my 1953 Bent window coupe, 1500 Normal I bought in Big Sur ( $100... yes one hundred dollars) in 1965. I would go anywhere, anytime.
I just saw your video and I am pumped! I have a 59 356A am im currently finishing a 13 year long restoration, I ran it without oil back in 04 and have been scrounging to buy the parts since then, but now it will be ready with new paint and and interior in a few months and I'm going to do exactly what you are doing, paint be damned! I live in calexico ca and know where that road is. I never intended to have it as a trailer queen but i wasnt thinking of using it daily but i used to drive it daily and I will from now on, thanks.
Great! Will you at least fix the rust so that it can live another lifetime 😢🎉
I did some of this similar, in 64 Volvo 122, in the seventies
Thanks for this. You've made me feel a little better about the giant spider crack I got in the hood of my Alfa Romeo from the shock of hitting the sump guard on an unmarked asphalt hump in a construction zone. I now understand that what mistook for a blemish is actually a character mark. But now I have ground-clearance envy. ;^)
HI MATT I LIKE TO PAINT MY CAR SAME COLOR OF YOUR. SEND ME INFORMATION. THANK
Awesome video! He enjoys his Porsche his way, but i feel sorry for the garage queens that only see car shows and PCA meetings! Thats ok i guess if you are an investor collector type of guy! But not to enjoy and drive your car because you are afraid to get it scratched or chipped? Show cars are driven like an old lady drives her Crown Victoria. Thumbs down here are from owners who never get to drive their cars like they wish they could. Porsches were built to be driven, on the track, street, off road, endurance, rally racing,etc ! A great perspective on life ! Living for today, tomorrow is not promised, it may never come. Enjoy and appreciate the journey you are taking today, no matter where it leads you !
Cool..A "Sanford & Son" type of 356! 👍
I have a 74 VW BUG. All original.
Engine and gearbox its never been rebuilt. California car. Still running.
I am going to do the same thing what he's doing on his Porsche 356. Driving on the dirt roads in
California. I live in L.A.
Best video I've seen on RUclips. It spoke to me and let me know I am not alone. I just spent the weekend "adventure driving" on forest roads open only during hunting season in my Mazda Miata NA. It's in mint condition but I'd like the car even if it wasn't. Point is that even though it's mint I'm not afraid to go off road with it. And I have a Chevy C10 truck similar to Matt's too with very Patina'd paint and would hate to paint it. I love the character and the truck has a novel of service records that read more like a diary as the PO wrote not only his service items but his thoughts at the time.
Beautiful film! Great narrative, shots, and Porsche, especially.
Mate..youve got a screw lose..lol that video is the best I've watched in a bloody long time. Well done you!! Narration is well thought of and presented.. Well done. I hope you keep her forever.
Amazing video. My dream car, but can't afford it. I'll work on restoring my Grandpa's 1969 VW Westfalia.
