This 1968 Porsche 911L Was Just A Dream

This is one of the rarest Porsche race car back in 67/68, the 911L 901/30 that made me love 911s. These 901/30 engines were available on 911L only, something around 20 units. That engine was delivering 185HP, and that same car had a race palmares like no other and competed until 1970. Bruce Wetanson, Bruce Jennings among others raced those 911L. as FIA group 2 back, as there was a breach in the FIA rules. Remember, it was often Porsche 911 were stock and raced by gentlemen. On top those 911L were benefiting parts from the infamous Sport Purpose manual,… Read more »

Does he read Word Up magazine though? Maybe some Salt’n’Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine…I’ll see myself out.

can you guys tell me the name of the first music? the main one i know, its a porsche 911 🙂

Really nice 911 and video. So Cal is always a great place to run and film these cars. One observation is that Spike over-clutched while shifting, early in the video. We have all done this at some point in our driving but spike did it on film!

I liked it quite a bit, so maybe it isn’t the rarest of rare Porsches, but a cool car, cool owner, interesting backstory, solid Petrolicious video! I think the comments on this one are indicating that as an audience we are getting pretty spoiled by this site, keep up the good work!

I enjoy these Petrolicious videos so much that I am never negative about any of the content. And this video really is lushly filmed with beautiful footage of an iconic 911 in the hills near Malibu. However, the narrative on this video I find, well, simply odd. This is an almost stock ‘luxury’ model 911, with a roll bar, and some very light modifications for stock racing, like the open exhaust. The car is not a 911 T/R. It is not even a 911S. So of course you can drive it to get groceries. It is almost a dead-stock car.… Read more »

Lovely video. Spike and Petrolicious are fantastic storytellers in both video and word. The provenance of the car helps too. Thanks.

double thumbs up for:
protoagonist + photography + sound+ setting + story

A great big HUH?
My first Porsche was a 911L
No 911Ss for 1968 went to the USA, it was the smogged (with backfiring air pump) for 1968 only 911L (luxury).
They are NOT race cars

Another great video – Petrolicious seems to excel when a Porsche is involved.

Yeah, great video and car.
I think its great that the best noise is just simply the engine performing.
No gimmicks required to make motoring music.

What a lucky lad. Spike buys a used car on a car lot.
It turns out to be something with huge provenance.
What are the odds of that ever happening again?
Nice production Valkyr/Petro
