Oh the Chaddites should be in a huff over this sacrilege by their saviors. Talk about not practicing what he preaches. Chad won't be even allowed to sit in it once Jolene takes it home. They have all those cars in the museum, but Jolene doesn't want any of that garbage. Great Chad: Are you flexible on the price? Gentleman: Yeah, now I'm asking $10 grand more. Put the camera in their face and try and intimidate the price down because we're big You Tubers. You don't want to look bad saying no to us. Baloney. Jolene's getting her own garage just you see!
Thanks for taking us along on your purchase. Congratulations Jolene on getting your dream car! You are starting to get your own car collection going now all you need is the Bugatti finished and you will have quite the collection Jolene! You know what they say Chad, happy wife happy life and that is a very true statement. I really had to hold my breath for a second or two when the previous owner was pulling it around to your trailer I thought that he was going to take out Fina thank God he did not! Once again have fun Jolene!
@@trentdawg2832 that’s because it is a glorified Volkswagen engine. Anybody who has had Porsches and VW’s can tell you the difference not a hell of a lot.
I'm sure it's been worked .. would make sense with the full cage and race fuel cell etc. sounds exactly like a raced up flat air-cooled early engine...
There is a ton of literature on the 912 and its power plant and the rust tendencies of these cars. It's worth researching before you do anything with it. It's a great resource. Most other cars do not have such a wealth of information to fall back on. You need not operate in the dark when you are figuring out what to do with it.
I had a 912E. It was like driving a mildly tuned Beetle. I have 3 air-cooled 911s and they are a whole different experience. Has mounts on the shock towers for a Monte Carlo bar. My smuggler's boxes are filled with A/C components. I know these cars inside/out and I have rebuilt several rust buckets. The toughest area to fix, for me, was the rear seat, heel panel and wheelhouse area. The front latch panel, suspension pan, and battery tray are comparatively easy.
I would bet the cam is wore out on 1 lobe. Very common on these motors. You can get a beast of an aftermarket motor for this. I had a 71 914 it would corner vrty well until the tires lost grip. Those skinny bias ply just did not stick. Very fun car not fast at all.
The cylinder came around with a little temp . The car has been sitting . Nothing a tune up and some road time won’t clear up . Absolutely gorgeous car !! Love it !! So happy for y’all !!
As a porsche enthusiast for over 45 years i have some advice for you Chad. You are out of your area of expertise here. You havent checked any of the necessary points of interest on this car. So you need to get a qualified Porsche specialist to check it out. These cars are problematic with a weak reverse gear ( popping out of reverse while backing up). Also you need to check the crankshaft end play( this shows engine case and bearing wear). And this is only the beginning of the things you need to check. If you get burnt don't complain because you don't know what you are doing here. There are also wiring and rust areas that need checked.
@@alpeach9480 they backed it out of the garage . They should have backed it up a hill under a little load to see if it would jump out of gear. That is how you check it.
❤❤❤ outstanding! I own a 2008 911 997.1. It’s gorgeous and runs like a scalded cat . There are plenty of nay sayer’s out there so trust your instincts and enjoy the car. They are a blast to drive. Every model is unique.
That is one heck of a good buy. I have an 81 Carrera SC 3.0 ...... goes like a rocket. And not just "the Germans" call the wheels Fuchs, because they are !
Best purchase i ever seen you buy man 👏👏👏 this car is worth 200k here in japan. If the race engine is rebuild back to race mode. Get it professionally rebuild to race mode. Hold on to it and sell it for 150-200k American later ☝️🥰 what a purchase bro. Envy
You can't grab the flywheel with the engine in the car. Ya need to grab the crank pulley and try to move it back and forth. End play should be only about 6 thousand's this will show excessive case and bearing wear which if excessive will mean engine overhaul and align boring the case
i was a vw/porsche mechanic in the 70's and picked up a 356 with bad motor and put in a relatively stock vw motor in it (before all the new aftermarket big bore kits available) and it ran so well hard to know the difference. Seems much of feel is in suspension and transmission gearing
Chad + Jolene, nice clean rust-free unit! The previous owner apparently enjoyed replacing throw-out bearings, he never let up on the clutch! Beautiful condition though and running great! Congrats and Mega Cheers!
Engine is definitely problematic, sounded reasonable first time round but not as good the second time just about made it on the trailer without grenadine itself
Cage out, race mods out. Fresh engine in and check every other critical part. Keep it stock and use it well. I have a '73T 911 6 cylinder since 1988; there is a lot to learn! Good luck getting it to a sweet spot.
So very happy for you bad Chad and Queen Jolene !! The two of you work so hard and work every single day, and any good that comes your way you definitely deserve it because it was not given to you !! I love your RUclips channel and what you and Jolene stand for !! Good luck with everything and God bless !!
@@mr.m325 Definitely. Much less weight behind the rear axle, so handling and balance was much better. Gearing suited the power band, so not actually much slower. Oh, and the 76 2.7 only had 148bhp, where the 912 had 102, so not double, but the 911 weighed an extra 106kg (over 11% increase) that was mostly at the rear of the car.
68 was the first year of smog pumps. I wonder if that’s still on there 2:11 That’s got the 67 912 emblem in the 67 motor cradle. That’s not a 68 motor cradle. 6:05
LOL, I had my 70 Z28 painted factory cranberry red but in Centari with a clear coat in 1985 and it still looks fresh and I drive the car alot. No bubbles cracks or blisters, so I don’t know what you’re talking about with the sun and red paint.
I passed on two of these in the late 90s for $1200 each! What a mistake on my part. Who knew that they would have gone stratosphereic price wise? I had a bipolar wife at the time otherwise they would have been mine. Oh well, NA Miatas are what I'm focusing on now. My Porsche days are behind me due to their prices, going stratosphereic. I hope Jolene enjoys her new acquisition. They are special cars.
Sounds really sick. Was leaking from the rear passenger as he backed out of the garage to the trailer, looks like fuel or oil. Still a sweet car though
WOW WOW Jolene, that is awesome. Please don't do a thing to it. Leave the small amount of patina it has. This will be awesome for track day events and road rallies. Congratulations 🎊 ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
I would have Nate put the engine in the front, chop the roof, paint it brown and extend the front and rear tail lights, there would not be one like it in the world. Just having fun which ya pal... nice buy for Jolene.😁

To come across a mint shape 912 ,that we only made 5 years would never be cheap and of course the cleaner it is the bigger the dollar to take it home. You want mint, you will need a mint.

Most people in us would only buy as salvage because it would cost so much for repair motor and fix paint. And possibly remove roll bars if they want to drive around town and not be hindered getting in and out…that’s my opinion
True, these Weber carburetors do not have chokes. From the carbs down thru the intakes to the heads are a straight shot. Just give it a pump, then let off and crank the motor. It will need to warm up tho.
It’s beautiful. Please keep Chad and his tools away from it!

When you adjust passenger side door you will find the right side has been wrecked …it sounds just like vw that needs a motor !
Glad to see Chad getting under Jolenes soon to be Porshe with a flashlight. No more surprises when it comes to rust and missing bolts. She's a beaut!
I was thinking that too. He's not buying any more cars without looking underneath.

Since Nate knows so much about mechanical issues you should take him along for his advice before buying.

Very cool, Porsche. Go, Jolene!!!
Could be a money pit !!
I hope not for Jolene's sake.
Isn't every car?
Simple engine test. Grab the flywheel with both hands. Push it fwd and backwards. Any movement indicates engine wear/problems...

So put it on a dyno
its top end ?? guess

a complete ignition replacement
strip & service te carbs
new exhaust & manifold
its an engine out for sure
my thoughts
paint is linked to the primer
I have repinted my VW t2 three or four times
so
cut a deal
this guy is not dumb
my guess is he knows the problem :-))
trailer it home
make a start
keep 5k for the engine rebuild
then sort out the bare mental paint job
its a long term project
its a labour of love
or hate :-))
Beautiful color for racing
Grats to Queen Jolene, I think it's a wonderful investment. Get it running top notch and fix the paint, done deal. And you might just have a painter in your pocket. GL
It's off to the chop shop.
Motor sounds rough and probably would stall on a low rev, ( not a mechanic but not to my liking) js Hopefully a good mechanic would top shape it. tc
doesnt sound like its running on all the cylinders.
Idel is to fast probably set to keep it running because of dead cilinders.
I think it has a larger camshaft in it.
To come across a mint shape 912 ,that we only made 5 years would never be cheap and of course the cleaner it is the bigger the dollar to take it home. You want mint, you will need a mint.

Chad get a adjustable telescoping stick with a swivel mirror and a good flash lite and no laying in the dirt and no jacking
Never heard of a 912 before. 911 6 cylinder 912 4 cylinder. Probably rarer as most people would want a 6 cylinder, at least in Australia
912’s were sold into Australia around 1968-70.
Cool ride but a little loud.
Should let Jolene look it over and negotiate a price .
Anybody hear what the final price was?

Awesome chad and jolene for sharing time and time again Love it
you should have towed the car backwards on the trailer!
To start, just put your foot to the floor one and off. This sets the butterflies and then just turn the key, and she will start

Certainly a very clean older Porsche, so after a Oil change, just wash it, wax it, and drive it.
