This car technically belongs to my mom, but I purchased it originally in July 2006. I picked the car up in Fort Wayne, Indiana for $6,500 and drove it 13 hours straight to Richmond, Va. Incredible experience! We had a fantastic first year together, in which I had the pedal assembly rebuilt with a new master cylinder and updated brake cables etc. Had zero issues.
In 2007, I decided to "reward" the faithful 912 with a motor rebuild. I picked the wrong guys to do the engine work (took 3x as long as promised, $1,000+ additional, etc). So I had a different mechanic install a rebuilt transmission. All of this put us without the car for almost the entire year. Horrible. When I finally picked it up with the new motor and transmission, we made it only about 2 hours before the motor seized (no oil!). I could never prove which mechanic was ultimately to blame. Out of money and frustrated, we parked it.
For the next couple of years or so, we slowly replaced and/or repaired the damaged parts (with mechanics' consultation) and gathered what I believe to be all of the necessary pieces to rebuild the motor. Simultaneously, we took the car to a guy in Martinsville, VA to repair rust etc and paint the 912. It has barely seen the light of day since the body work. Until January, we kept it in a storage unit. It has been in my parking lot under a car cover for the past few months.
The interior would be ok with a good cleaning, but there are a few scratches and such as I have only done "necessary" repairs. We will include some updated seatbelts, still in the box. Also cool, is that I had a cd player concealed in the glove box back in 2006 with some MB Quart speakers in the doors.
Today, the 912 is physically in solid shape. The motor is somewhat if not completely "all there", with ASSEMBLY REQUIRED. The transmission has only a couple of hours on it. Wipers, motor, transmission, exhaust, are out of the car, but will be included. Heater boxes are rusted out, but I'll include them for whatever that is worth. Actual mileage is unknown.
Selling this car breaks my heart after everything we've been through. Not to mention that we will never recover the time and money invested. But we are out of time and money (at least for now), and must sell. I sincerely hope our 912 finds a good home.
Best,
-Curtis

50th Anniversary Porsche 911 vs. Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a battle of beauty, brawn
Fri, 13 Jun 2014There can't really be a loser between the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R and the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition. One might be better than the other, but if you're behind the wheel of either of them, you can't complain. In a new video, Motor Trend takes on the difficult task of determining which one of these European powerhouses is the best, not just in terms of raw performance, but also how they actually feel to drive.
The Porsche 911 is one of the perennial favorites of the motoring world. It just doesn't go away and always seems capable of challenging the top vehicles in its class. In this video, Motor Trend takes a look at the 50th Anniversary Edition model that celebrates that heritage while boosting power somewhat over the standard version.
The F-Type Coupe is an incredibly masculine car, MT describing it as "a British Corvette." The coupe's exterior lines are tautly stretched over its athletic body, and it's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 sounds like a demon's growl. Jaguar seems to have things right with its latest sports car.
Will Roegge makes 4K art of Jeff Zwart's 911 build and run up Pikes Peak
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Will Roegge has turned his camera on Jeff Zwart and provided another gem, this time documenting Zwart's run up Pikes Peak and BBI Autosport. Bertim Besha dropped out of high school, then worked his way up to founding his own shop, BBI, that gathers a crew of tuners who are just as fastidious about their work as the customers are about their cars.
They prepped the 991-series Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Turbo, the product of combining a 911 GT2 that was the most powerful car Zwart drove up the mountain with a GT3 Cup that Zwart thought had the best handling. Two TiAL turbos and a lot of fettling make for a 3.8-liter flat-six with 700 horsepower, 700 pound-feet of torque and a 7,800-rpm redline. Zwart drove it to a heartbreaking second place this year, finishing less than 1.2 seconds behind the Time Attack 1 class winner when his car suffered its first mechanical issue of the week.
The first video below covers Besha, BBI and the build, the second is Zwart's run. As if the visuals weren't enough, sit back and enjoy the shrieking of the "Hill Climb Special," which is what the constellation Sirius would sound like if it could bark.
Porsche Macan spied, all lit up and dodging flurries
Thu, 17 Jan 2013We've seen the upcoming Porsche Macan testing on surface roads and even on the Nürburgring, but here we have our first spy shots showing a disguised prototype doing some winter testing in snowy conditions. Still obscured by plenty of camouflage attempting to mimic its larger Cayenne sibling, we still can't get a clear look at what the Macan's face and rump are going to look like, although it does appear that some details for the front lighting are starting to emerge.
Below the headlights, those are obviously decals trying to look like turn signal lenses, but it appears that there is still some sort of lighting being hidden judging by the small circles cut into the camo. Lower in the fascia, we can also see there are LED running lights not revealed on past prototypes. The entire rear end of this Macan prototype still appears to be tacked-on camo, but the side view appears to be in production form save for the poorly disguised rear quarter windows.
As we've seen in the past, Porsche engineers are still testing the Macan alongside the Audi Q5 with which it shares its platform. There has been no word as to when we could expect to see the Macan in production or concept form, but we'd have to guess that this compact crossover is getting ready to shed its camo very soon.
