Jared shows us what high competence without ego looks like.

Have hosted several 356 events and attended many others. Your “resurrected” car would garner as much interest as any of the best restored cars on the field. Much more interesting, you did the work where many owners would not dare to attempt such a feat, including me. Nicely done and this car will continue to gain in it’s notoriety and of course value as time goes on. Thanks for all the quality work you share on this channel.

Walter is now so famous that he can start his own KZfaq channel: "My life with Jared, the technician".

Apart from admiring your research, work and video creation and editing I also admire your sincerity and willingness to disclose sensitive information such as costs, etc.

Thank you for saving this german automotive icon! 👍🏻 Also nice to see Walther again.

Good update. This is the car that brought me to the channel and I stuck around for all the others. I figured it would be fairly expensive, but considering the surprises you found it sounds pretty good! Thanks, and Woof to Walter.

Thanks for the breakdown cost, interesting. The work you’ve performed has been outstanding. Looking forward to the Land Cruiser and others. “Hi to Walter”.

Hey Jared, You're a Star!!! All the experts say about cars. You do it for love, not for money!! The value of All your cars will only go up. Just dont stop! 🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸

I Purchased the 1998 TJ Jeep Sahara and it looks and runs like new.. Thank you Gabe

thoroughly enjoyed watching the complete series!

Putting it on you tube is the best thing to do it helps us learn as we go.

Thanks for that. Actually, I was surprised at your body work. Watching you use wood to pound out the fenders...and tweak the top...was incredibly entertaining. Great videos. I'm in the process of watching all the LandCruiser videos right now. Oh...and since you asked...I vote for blue.

that's just a beautiful car. Love the battle scars on that wonderful, creamy yellow color.

Jared: This was a very interesting video. I was curious how all of the costs would work out. I am sure you obtained decent deals; I know 356 parts are VERY expensive. So, thank you! BTW, if you are thinking about maximizing your revenue stream, be sure to include Walter in all your videos!! ::)) I know he is in many of them, but not all! Good luck on the next project....

Jerod - great video! Really like the cost and effort breakdown for the Porsche. The recap of the entire build was great too. Keep that Porsche!

Excellent series! Great job. Kudos not only on the work but on the sped up motion and no talking version. I have to take the doors and windows of my 64 SC and though I have done it once already, you did it with more finesse and aplomb than I did.

A labor of Love for sure! Thx for letting us all watch you wrench. Great job on the car!

A labor of love. Enjoy the ride.

Great video, sir!! Love the quality of all of your videos and the style you've developed. Quite relaxing and entertaining. As well, super interesting look into the channel and the revenue stream of it all. Thank you very much for posting this!!!

Thank you Jerod for taking so much trouble with your videos. Your explanation of the real world costs I find particularly fascinating. I to have a KZfaq channel (nothing to your scale) but I have never thought of the money side, but that does not mean I don't find it interesting. It is a real treat to see such skill and then as a bonus, an honest costing of the car and materials and parts. My channel is directed at the "how to" sector as I am trying to pass on some of my skills to others. Thanks again - Tony Hillyard

The last car I brought back from the dead was a 1986 Mercedes Benz 190E. The add said blown motor. It went on to say he lent the car to a friend and the friend returned the car with the motor blown up. Needless to say everything I came to with that car had something wrong with it. It was in poor condition. It took me about eight months to replace bad parts and make repairs so it would pass the state inspection. I drove it for 2 months and almost hated to get rid of it.

Your channel is SO much better than most out there

Nice job. Good to hear truth in KZfaq royalties!

Hello, Walter!

Love that car, my favorite of your series, also liked the Honda. The Porsche will certainly go up in value.

Thanks Jared, I really enjoyed the videos. Sort of shocking how little KZfaq pays...

Jared .. thank you very much for this video and for all the others that your channel has .. your honesty is appreciated by those of us who started on this path of repairing or restoring our vehicles .. greetings from Chile

Eye watering costs but a terrific effort. Fascinating to watch each episode. I'd HAVE to paint it though. But that's just me.

Hello Jared! I hope all is well. I have been watching your channel for quite awhile and the running theme, to me; is the "Challenge". I know, you already have an estimated idea of costs when you do your projects but it's the thrill of knowing if you can do the project to it's entirety, is your challenge. You are extremely knowledgeable and you put it to use. You have dedicated followers who tune in just to watch you work, I know because I do. The absolute love of what you are doing to get to the end goal is apparent as we watch you problem solve and accomplish that goal to move to the next. I really appreciate what you do, I respect your talent in doing it and acknowledge your charity for sharing. Thanks again a true fan.🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏🎆🎆🎆

I made a similar decision. I bought an Alfa from BHCC for $13K versus buying much better examples for $65-80. I’m building for historic long distance car rallies and I have no intention of restoring to original. I wanted a 356 but I couldn’t justify the cost of the project car. I like your channel very much- anthony

The cost of parts is definitely higher but now you have almost a new car with a really unique patina :) If it were mine, I'd probably make up a variety of increasingly imaginative stories when people asked about the body. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the breakdown costs Jarred. Love your work Mate. Billy J..... Queensland, Australia.

Series great fun for me in Indiana and my brother in Oregon. He watched the videos on the Model T and I found the Porsche. Neither knew both watched your show. Totally not surprised about the cost. My car is a trashed TR6 now in good shape not concours. Love the car and could never get back the money I spent but do not care. My Bert says hi to Walter.

Jared. Realy appreciate the time you've taken to make this series. I bought one last year and loved watching your genuine videos

Give Walter a big hug for me

Making money is not my goal, you really are one great petrol head, your work amaze me especially on the S600 which made me subscribe to your channel, keep it up, you are one of my favorites

Thanks for the information . I too build cars because I like the feeling of accomplishment and the pleasure of driving them . Unless you own a shop and can defer the cost you are lucky if you break even when you sell them .

I really like your channel. Thank you for your video and you interest in restoring these old vehicles. My Dad owned a wrecking yard many years ago and I remember seeing some early Porsches coming in in the 1960's. Thanks for your honesty.

Jared great video series. Thank for discussing the cost of the car, I always wonder what people pay for some of these cars, and what KZfaq pays you. You're the first KZfaqr iv'e seen discuss that. Some people view talking about money issues more taboo than anything else in their lives. Thanks.

thnks man great video crazy how much parts cost now..im in around 30k on my 69 911 and not done...keep em coming great work..i personally love the open scars on the car and its kinda known now and cool to show like is is..its so perfect as it sits next to you..

Love the channel. Thanks for all of the content and sharing your experience and journey.

Thank you for all your hard work! Have lotsa fun!

Thank you for sharing this - I really appreciate the transparency as it answers a lot of questions.

Car is fantastic. I like that you left it with battle scars. Must drive some enthusiasts crazy. Thanks also for sharing price and costs. Helps to get an idea about work like yours and general prices of stuff. I dont understand why people are so weird when it comes declaring prices. Much appreciated.

thx for the cost breakdown...very interesting to hear and not something a lot of other channels will share. Have enjoyed this series and its why I subbed. having the piece of mind of a rust free porsche is priceless...buying a turnkey car, you just never know unless you blow it apart, which is not the point of buying a turnkey. and agreed, the scars tell its story, and this car def has a story...lots of people would understand that. excellent job

Absolutely my favorite build, but the VW Beetle is a close second in that contest. I rebuilt my 1964 Beetle engine after rear-end collision accident in 1974, and later I sold the car after discovering rust breakthrough behind the driver's seat. It had Porsche chrome 5 bolt wheels (made in West Germany) that I bought new in boxes for $10 each in 1974. Sold it in 1978, which is my biggest regret. But, we must move on, despite the bad decisions that we made in the past. Still looking for a Classic Beetle that I can afford that I can work on and restore.

Great videos I did not know the values, makes sense they way you did the project. Very interesting video, thanks for sharing. Cheers Love the color 😊

Awesome vids. New subscriber and gave you a thumbs up. I think my favorite vid so far was the S600 engine rebuild where you were having issues with pistons / rings. That was very funny but I can completely understand the frustration. Rock on dude!!!

You do a great job your workmanship and your video are well worth watching, hang in there it takes time to build up a loyal following

Your channel is my favorite. Your trip to Monterey and Mecum would make a great video. Out of curiosity how does the 356 drive compared to your 912. Thanks a lot.

You are a gentleman Jared.

Great job on the car! Great video! Very cool car...I like that it shows its history!

I love the car as is. I had a couple of really rough 356's that I wish I still had.

you are spot on everything is more then it ever was to restore, Ive had 2 356's and have reluctantly sold them by todays prices Id be retired and living well in Belair ! (well almost) Ive enjoyed the 356 series and looking forward to more good luck !

Really loved this build Jared well done sir !! I wouldn’t change one bit snd just enjoy it . Build costs wasn’t too bad and you saved it !! Hi Walter 👍

Really good job. You are a master 👏👏

To be fair regarding the cost of parts and such, you did find some expensive surprises regarding the transaxle, brakes, and piston and cylinders. I still think you are sitting pretty good on it. Plus, you own a 356, so....

Love your work mate

Can’t wait to see more driving videos!

Thank you for this video!! I learned a lot from you with the body work. I hope to see you at Pelican Parts Cars and Coffee !! I live not to far from the Mall in Palos Verdes

Enjoy your trip Jarod. Look forward to a video. Joe

Gran trabajo,te felicito!

Like your channel very much! Keep going.

Some cars have a delicious curious patina: this isn't one of them

Enjoyed it immensely

I find it interesting when someone discusses “costs” of a car restoration project and limit the cost to out-of-pocket payments directly associated with the project. So many indirect costs are not included to give a true picture of the total cost. For example, someone’s time spent on the project is always a cost, use of shared resources is a cost (like electricity, heating and cooling), depreciation of all the assets used to assist in completing the project is a cost, lost opportunities to invest in other assets that would generate a return on investment is a cost, etc. A better analysis of a car restoration project’s cost might just be the enjoyment and fulfillment of doing something you’re good at and being able to keep paying your bills. I enjoyed watching the videos on this build, but the cost analysis really seems like a weak explanation to rationalize the project.

Great job!!

Great job. Greetings from Germany.

Really great information, Jared. Like some other commenters here, I too have looked at some project cars at BHCC, and wondered how the whole thing could price out, and yet still make sense. I mean... no problem having to put 40-50k (all-in) into a car, if you buy that car for $10,000 (hypothetical). But I can't understand how to make it work buying a beat-up car for $45,000 that needs $45,000 worth of work just to get it up to a daily driver. (I've been looking at SCs). It's all just getting crazy. (Has been for a while now)

Great one!

Good job dude the money will get back to you on that one for sure:)

Stay safe!

It's only $7,000 over what you expected and that's really not that bad with the way everything is priced these days

Interesting details...

a 356 is a trophy asset, value only can go up with time! 10 years from now would be $150K as is!

this probably would have become someone's parts car if you hadn't saved it. It's my favorite era for Porsche and saving another of a rare breed is totally worth it. Are you doing anything to keep that exposed metal from rusting?

Nice video

I'd love to know what happened to make all that damage. Looks like a tree fell on it. Good job getting it back on the road and enjoying it's original patina.

I have just purchased a 64 356C and the 74 Fj land cruiser im supposed to pick up in a week. What a coincidence lol

Groetjes uit Holland 🥰👋🏼🌹🌹🌹🌹

Very informative. Nice work! Does there need to be consideration for loss of value having being wrecked and Salvage title?

Hey, great video and beautiful 356. How was your Beverly Hills Car Club experience? They have a 356 that I’m looking closely at.

REALITIES OF PORSCHE BUILDS.......you NEVER win the parts EAT YOU ALIVE.....

How many hours would you estimate it took you? Would you recommend where you got the car as a good place to source project Porsches?

👍👍✌️

salvage title?

💗🐶💗

IMHO comparing prices but not counting your time spent does not make much sense.

Wabi sabi

Jared, I enjoyed the rebuild series, great job !! Keep up the good work !! I enjoyed watching your channel BTW I bought the other yellow 356 you can see the videos just google NUEVAJ100 Cheers

Thats a 356..keep it, it's value appraise..
