Road Trip in a Porsche 911 SC during the Polar Vortex!

Published 2022-12-30
We hit the road in our old 1982 Porsche 911 SC during the Polar Vortex with morning temps below 13 degrees!!!! We'll check the MPG as well and see how the car performs under various driving conditions and speeds. Come ride with us!

  • Nothing NOTHING smells like the beautiful combination of leather and oil like an air cooled 911!

    Mate you just made my night ~ You brought back some great memories of my ol SC. Great vid love it thank you ! 😎👌👍
  • Looks great. Had a 1988 Carrera when I was in Germany with the Army and got it up to 150 on the autobahn. Regretfully I sold it when I got back and now drive a 2017 Carrera. Can’t beat the 911 at any age. Thanks 😎

    You are certainly braver than me, my SC is stored for up to six months to avoid the cold. Heat in the cab is great as you point out, maybe a few extra pre winter runs are in order. Well done video, and thanks for pointing out the Ferrari models, will help as I’m always asking the Ferrari guys which model theirs is…

    That easy cold start in those temps and the gas mileage blew me away. Im sure I get way less as my foot is always buried in it. 🤣

    Classic cars are just so much better aren’t they brother.
  • I have an 18 gt3. Be careful with cold temps. The rear tires like a little heat for proper grip. I only put non ethanol gas in my 911. I get 20 or less mpg in my 500 hp car

    nice video. who redid your seats? i'm about to put in some leather pole position ABEs and send my factory sports seats off to someone to refinish. who's the right guy?

    Shell or chevron 93, id never put QT gas in my tank unless it was an emergency. Maybe I’m crazy but I can feel chevron in the pedal. Beautiful car. Not a fan of silver gauge rings. Man, those Ferraris would be so cool if they had a manual transmission.
  • My neighbors would absolutely kill me if I got a warm up regulator
  • I'm sure running it hard at 85mph and 3000 plus rpm for at least part of the way made a huge difference in your fuel economy. The heating system on these, I think, is pretty much like the VW Beetle. It's been over 40 years since I've been around one but I think they just have ducting that gets heat off the side of the engine blown through by the cooling fan on the engine itself or does it have a blower up front on the Porsche? Where does that temp gauge read from? Is it reading the oil temp?
