that interior color is beautiful

A great day with my son and enjoyed meeting Matt ..... and hey I'm a thrill seeker too you try restoring old German cars in the driveway and not run out of money

Well this was cool to wake up to. ☕️Thanks to Matt for the opportunity! If you watch these and think he seems like a nice dude, he's nicer than whatever you imagined. Fun fact, it pissed rain on the way home from the shoot and we hadn't put the wipers back on the car yet. FUN.

Didn't even notice the windows were open, since you were travelling at such low speeds until you went to whistle mode haha. Great car, great video

OH! ...my tea must be done!

The owner is one of the coolest cats on your show... nice car

Sounds like a tea kettle after the window went up. The first time windows down was actually better. xD All the cars in the background look amazing, can't wait to see them.

"They look like a 911 but they drive like this." 😂😂😂

Easily one of the most beautiful cars of all time. Instant like for sure.

I could look at that hood-line all day! Nothing like actually being able to see the front of a car as you motor through the bends. Very entertaining. Thanks guys!

Saw one of these rolling around where I live in rural New Hampshire. The guy drove it all the way down from quebec city! Fantastic!

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. The car, the conversation… having the right guest makes all the difference

Keep this guy on the show! Funny, interesting, communicative, you make a good pair!

Just pure beauty ❤️ Thanks for sharing, made me smile the whole way through!

Matt and Devin, Nice video and beautiful car! I know by modern standards they can feel a bit slow, but in the right set of roads, they are like nothing else. The trick (as you were doing) is to get close to red-line at every shift. With only four gears, it sets you up in the power band for the next gear. We take ours on lots of P-car runs and can keep up pretty well. It is a very different experience and you aren't in it just for speed and g-force, it is about connecting an developing a relationship. It makes you work a bit for what you want - like any quality relationship. It is still a P-car - reliable, easy to maintain, delivers the goods, and looks amazing. It is a car you feel honored to drive - totally what I got from your drive. Franny

I saw this car in the background at the end of your MR2 one-take, and I was *SO HOPING* that it was there for you to review it!!! YAY!!!!

Brings back my childhood playing Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed. They nailed the sound and it was my favorite car to drive. I have the biggest desire to build one now it looks like so much fun!

That paint is marvelous. Interior color is great too, wow!

This guy seems chill, I like his car. Good video.

might not be the fastest but certainly one of the coolest cars you've had on one take imo

Mildly Propahhhh !

love the video, the vibe and when the owner said "i got back in my miata and was like" 😂😂

That car is absolutely beautiful. Well done.

this is the only one take in which I actually noticed scenery, this car would probably be my ideal cruiser.

Cool car, looking good. And plugging his site is a nice touch.

Favorite part is when Matt actually pulls out and you get a sneak peak at the upcoming cars

I'm a Beetle owner... They're great to work on and the horribleness is a charm. I'm trying to tighten up the steering and suspension though

Finally, a owner telling Matt to keep the revs higher. More Honda guys need to do this

lol i like that he just committed to the window roll up even when the decision backfired terribly

The funniest thing about this video was raising the windows so that we could hear them, but it's as loud as it was before... If anything, the whistle made it worse haha! Love those old Porsches, they look amazing and seem to be a ton of fun to drive.

God damn that's a stunning little car

I've watch these one takes from day one hands down best looking car on here

what a treat! Car looks stunning too.

LMAO the part where he says "When you're driving this everyone lets you in." So f**in true. If I saw this car driving I'd act like a secret service agent to it 🤣

This is the Porsche I most want to own, so so cool!

Interesting video. I would like to see more classic car one take's.

Gotta love that car. Nice color combo.

What a sexy engine sound and classy lookin’ just loved it! Subscribed!!

That Merc looks so good, can't wait

3:20 "theyll hear uth better" lmaoo matt always got me dying

This is hilarious! It's looking like the dudes are riding on a loveseat! LMAO!!!

Good stuff, I learned to drive a manual on a 914 and now have that and a 356SC! Feels odd to me to drive a car w/o bottom hinge pedals.

It’s a pity Matt has no love for the VW Beetle, or as all Americans say; “VW Bug”. A well sorted Beetle, with a quality aircooled stroker motor & upgraded VW driveline may not ever reach the dizzying heights of a 993 RSR, but it sure as Hell will smoke the shit outta a stock (ish) 356 build like this! VW Beetles have been legendary performers at Californian dragstrips for decades, and many German Superbugs built with VW & VW based aftermarket components, are capable of lapping Nordschleife in times that a lot of 911 Carrera drivers can only aspire to replicate. Don’t get me wrong though, I love this build, which is why I’m watching it. Just don’t rag on Beetles until you’ve driven a truly fast one.

Love these cars, great vid. This is the sort of ride you take out on a long winding road and just settle into a nice rhythm. And he's right... I would totally let that car in. I would even sacrifice my car if it meant saving a 356 from a wreck.

As Matt says this model was produced parallel to the 911 from early '64 to the summer of'65. It is said that especially many lady drivers in Germany and other places were nervous that the leap from 75 bhp to 130 bhp was too big. Also the leap from 17.000 DEM (USD 3.900) to 23.950 DEM ( USD 5.200) kept some traditional Porsche drivers to stick to the 356. Especially the SC with 95 bhp was fast enough for 10,8 seconds to 60. So therefore Porsche presented the 912 with 90 hp in 1965 to keep those customers.

I kind of wish my dad did something like this as a build between us. Awesome car.

This is awesome!

Very, very nice. Thank you men.

This is just lovely!!

Hey Matt you're looking slim , keep at it!

They are called "Sebring Gears". 2nd for hair pins and 3rd & 4th down the runways (South then West).

SWEET RIDE!!!

My dad had maybe 10 356s when I was a kid. Seemed decently fast back in the early 80s. He had some nice ones, including a late model "super 90", and none cost more than $20 grand back in the day.

Devin & Matt look like best of buddies ...but looked really nervous ,please be careful with our $150k motor

These cars are absolutely beautiful, I loved Need For Speed Porsche Unleashed, it really turned me on to vintage Porsche.

Beautiful classy machine, prefer to see some chrome on the wheels though.

Lmaoo "Where do you get tires for this thing?", "The Mountain Bike Store"

Excited to see that Merkur!

This kettle is black, it whistles, and it has no opinions of the other kitchenware.

Beautiful machine!!!

Dammit Matt, now I want one, and you tell me they're expensive now! Guess the dream of a lightweight, minimalistic classic Porsche is un-doable.

One of my most favorite cars ever. The C is so much prettier than the earlier models.

NICE! Adam Sandler "The Buffoon" reference much appreciated!!!

Matt, quit pulling the windows up and worrying about wind noise. I personally hear you clearly even if you have the roof and windows down. You just deprive us of engine noise when you do that. Test it for yourself if you don't believe me, you have a good mic I think and you must be placing it well. Awesome videos. Keep 'em coming.

porsche was simply beautiful and pure fun back then

Love that classic!!

a fresh coat of paint can really make a car look fresh and new, damn that girl shines

Wait so bumping the displacement from 1600 to almost 1800 only resulted in 3 more hp? Seems like a lot of work for that. I hope there is some considerable torque gain at least. Beautiful car though!

A nice car good job!

Damn, would love for you to drive my 65 vw notchback! Just finished it. Will keep an eye out if you come to Seattle.

4.0 rs motor swap?

Glorious car!

"Learned to drive a stick on a Porsche." I'm jealous

That is a thing of beauty!

glad to be here before anyone has finished the video

I saw one at the local dealership. It was in great condition, not cheap.

Looks like a dope W114 in the background

Had to check if I was brewing some tea. Lol

I never understood the hate for outlaws

Sippin coffee every time to " on center'

Beautiful car with the classic formula. Quality build, lightweight, low power, and skinny tires. E=MCsq. Fun=(weight/hp)-((COG)coefficient of grip)+reliabilty. Biggest # wins. Fun is not an absolute, is subjective, and subject to opinion. I made that formula up. Light, low powered, skinny tired, cars are awesome. Ask James May. Love this car. (I'd have gone for 150 hp LOL).

Honest question, what's the difference between this Porsche engine and the VW Beetle engine? Are the engines interchangeable??

Wow, watching more of these classic cars being driven makes me want to finish my 71 mgb project running. There's just too much rust and the whole front end needs to get chopped off, my price for getting it from Texas.

Matt, Ive got a 130hp 356 Speedster your welcome to review if your ever in Virginia...

lets be honest here... how fast did you get to in this one take?

912's are great cars. I love my '66. Still a bit undervalued.

One of the best cars that I ever owned!

I'd love to have ensurance I can drive around in! ;)

this thing is sick af hahah love it

Just curious, have you ever driven a Super Beetle, Matt? They made them from 71-79 but they have McPherson struts in the front and 75s and up had rack and pinion steering... totally different beast from the 60s bugs.

Farrah, you should really upload on Friday. Maybe save the weird stuff for it

Beautiful! :0)

That sweet turbo whistle... XD

The owner of this car is fantastic. If you were to have a second contributor, I support him

Haulin' class!

have you ever tested a 1983 celica supra matt? i own one and it was a great 80'z sprorts car...not the fastest but an fun car to drive bud

Not my cup of tea, but what a sweet little car. Glad to see a special classic being loved.

Is it only running on three? It just doesn't sound right for a flat four.

Dude I drive my ‘71 911T, everyone smiles, I drive my ‘70 914-6, most look at me weird or laugh ... I drive my boosted 930 Turbo and I get the “bird”! For some reason I did not enjoy my test drive of a 996 GT3, kept the heat be 930!

For those wondering, driving a 356SC or even C is not as underwhelming (performance wise) as this video make it seem. I actually recently came into possession of a ruby red 356sc from my grandfather. Having driven my own, which is tuned to perfection, I can say there is something wrong with this one. I will admit that mine has slightly north of 100hp with a big bore installed by my grandfather in the 70’s but even a normal C shouldn’t be this “slow”. In my experience the normal C or SC engine has enough torque to get up hills and overall feel pretty quick in such a light car. This engine does sound off to my ears, perhaps it’s running on 3 cylinders or something. It’s not just pretty to look at because if in proper shape, it’s a blast to drive (even compared to my modern cars). You just can’t beat that flat 4 induction noise at WOT.
