This 912 Porsche was an early model with several distinguishing features found on the early cars. It has the early flat closure panel for the engine deck lid and a 5 speed transmission as standard equipment. The four speed transmission was not yet available. It was ordered with 5 gauges and was completed September 6th,1965. Upon entering the United States, it was titled as a 1966 model year.
This is a Porsche/Reutter bodied car. It likely remained in Europe initially as it retains the European heater system. The transmission is the original per the C.O.A. and the engine was replaced at some point by a rebuilt engine #740625.The Solex carbs were replaced with Webers.The original color was Sand Beige with a Beige interior. It is presently silver with a black interior.The car is in excellent mechanical condition and accelerates briskly and holds its own in city traffic and on the highway. The front shocks are new and the rears were replaced 3 or 4 years old and are in like new condition. I have owned the car for over 2 years and driven it regularly in good weather. The front pan was replaced some time in the past and there is a bubble in the paint at the rear of the right front fender. The floor pan is original and seems to be in good condition. I had planned to restore the car back to its original configuration but its becoming obvious that it is not going to happen. I have included a picture of the C.O.A. which shows the car was equipped with Chrome Wheels, Clock, Outside Temperature Gauge, Signal Key (no, I do not know what that is), Antenna and Wood Steering Wheel. When I purchased the car it did not have a wood wheel.It presently has a new Nardi Wood Steering Wheel. I have since purchased a correct Porsche Wood Steering Wheel which was restored by Bruce Crawford. I will make it available to the buyer for an additional cost if desired. This car can be used as a daily driver but it would also be a good car to restore. The buyer is responsible for shipping.
Please contact me with any questions before bidding. The car is available for inspection by appointment. This car is advertised elsewhere. I reserve the right to close this auction if it is sold. The reserve price will not be divulged.

Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.
Porsche digitally dissects its 918 Spyder for your viewing pleasure
Wed, 02 Oct 2013At this point, you'd think we'd know all there is to know about the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder - except what it's like to drive - but Porsche has released a new video giving us a more in-depth look at its new plug-in hypercar all the same. The animated video gives us numerous cutaway looks at the 918 Spyder while giving a visual demonstration of the car's four hybrid driving modes.
Though nowhere near as exciting as watching the 918 blast around the Nürburgring in record time, this new video is nonetheless both interesting and informative. Scroll down to watch the video yourself, and be sure to check out our live gallery of the production version of the car along with a stock gallery.
Corvette gets slidey with Britain's best performance cars
Sat, 18 Oct 2014Autocar wants to find Britain's best driver's car, and it's challenging a murderers' row of some of the world's best performance vehicles to find out, including the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. All of them were therefore assembled at the Castle Combe Circuit to find a winner.
If it wants to take the crown from this pack of mostly European competitors, the 'Vette has to beat some steep competition. Its challengers include monsters like the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ariel Atom 3.5R and Jaguar F-Type Coupe. As a further hurdle for the winner to clear, Autocar also has last year's champ among the fighters - the Porsche 911 GT3.
Even if you're not at all interested in the C7, there's still something here for practically any fan of fast cars. The competitors include relative oddities among the pack like the Renault Mégane RS Trophy and Alfa Romeo 4C. Plus, Autocar has some well-positioned microphones that let you hear the Atom wailing like a banshee and the roar of the 458 Speciale. Check out the video to see which one of these all-stars takes home the award this year.
