Join me on a walkaround of a clean, numbers matching Bahama Yellow 1969 Porsche 912.
If you're anything like me, you love learning about old school air cooled Porsche's, and what I enjoyed about shooting this video is that I was able to hear someone who is a pretty good authority on the Porsche 912 talk me through a short history on his father's 10-years-owned 1969 bahama yellow example.
It is a numbers matching, 5 speed car and apparently has a small upgrade to the engine.
While my channel - and my interests - have centered mainly on air cooled Porsche 911's, I have given some thought to potentially adding a Porsche 912 to my small collection at some point. So, this video was helpful for me in understanding broadly the in's and out's of the Porsche 912.
After talking with other people about the Porsche 912, though, I have been told they are painfully slow. In this video, however, I am told the car is really only as slow as you want it to be. My interpretation is that if you really wind the Porsche 912 engine up, it can be a good time.

About My Channel:
Rennthusiast (formerly Bavarian Enthusiast TV) is for the most part a Porsche 911 channel centering on experiencing air cooled Porsches, but will also feature other vintage, analog vehicles I add to the collection. The channel is the result of my deep passion for air cooled Porsches, my interest in the air cooled Porsche community, my obsession with modding, improving, buying and selling cars in general and my desire to put myself out there on YouTube and share these passions with other enthusiasts.
As I continue to build this channel, I'll be adding more cars to the mix, and will likely branch out beyond the German sports car genre as is the case with this video. Why? Because I LOVE cool collector cars and as my interests morph and change, so will this channel.
As of the date of this video, the collection includes a 1995 Porsche 911 993 Coupe, a 1986 Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Coupe, a 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo, a 2000 Toyota Landcruiser and....a 1993 Toyota Landcruiser FZJ80 (no they're not German but they've been bucket list vehicles for me so they're now in the collection).
