This auction is for a 1968 Porsche 912 (last year for short wheel base). It has the original engine and transaxle. This is a California car with its entire life spent in California. It was a true barn find and we have had the Porsche since February 1996. It has been thoroughly restored. We are the 3rd owner. The engine machine work was accomplished by Competition Engineering in Lake Isabella, California and they are well known for the highest caliber of work.
The Engine was upgraded with 1750 cc pistons during the overhaul, and dual Weber's were installed for enhanced performance. All seals were replaced in the process and there are no leaks. The car has about 3000 miles on it since the complete restoration and the engine and gear box sound and perform with excellent power.
Steering and suspension all in excellent condition. New brake pads and rotors were turned. A complete four wheel alignment was accomplished to ensure proper tracking. The car was completely stripped of glass, trim, weather-stripping and gaskets and recently painted lemon yellow to match up as close to original color as possible. Porsche color code 1012 was original color. All new weather-stripping and gaskets were replaced. The glass is in good condition, free of any cracks and separations. Dash pad and upholstery redone using top quality materials. Door, deck lid and bonnet gaps are as original. The car comes with freshly polished wheels on all corners. All instrumentation was reconditioned at North Hollywood Speedometer and are functional and operating as they should. The radio has been replaced with a more updated one, with fresh speakers. This Porsche is ready to run and be driven. It is not concourse, but in great condition. It handles, shifts and drives well at freeway speeds, and is great fun to drive. The short wheel base Porsche 912's are fast becoming collectibles and those in good condition demand a premium price. A stack of receipts is available to the owner.
The car is available for viewing and inspection by appointment. Any further questions, please feel free to ask.

Auto journalist ordered to pay big money for blowing up Porsche 917 engine [UPDATE]
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Racecars blow engines all the time, but a Porsche 917 isn't just a run-of-the-mill racecar. British automotive writer Mark Hales reportedly borrowed a 917 from 82-year-old former Formula One racer David Piper for a magazine article, and mechanical tragedy ensued. Nobody is arguing that the engine failed after being spun to 8,200 rpm. However, Hales was warned not to exceed 7,000 rpm, says owner Piper, and the affair landed in English courts with Piper seeking £50,000 - over $79,000 US - in reimbursement funds for an engine rebuild and loss of use of the car while it was being repaired. Judge Simon Brown ruled in favor of car owner Piper, putting Hales on the hook for £110,000 ($174,000) including legal fees - a whole lot of money in any language.
Hales says the Porsche suffered a mechanical fault while lapping that allowed it to slip out of gear and over-rev. Piper wasn't convinced, and sought to have the repair paid for by the guy who broke the racer, saying "If you bend it, you mend it." It's not like Hales is a novice driver, having seat time in both professional and amateur races over 30 years, notching about 150 wins, but even the best drivers sometimes miss a shift, and that's what Piper contended happened to his car.
According to reports, Hales has had to sell most of his valuables to pay his lawyers and is now facing bankruptcy with the ruling against him. Members of the Pistonheads website are trying to coordinate a collection to help him out, as well.
1986 Porsche 959 Prototype at Barrett-Jackson sees gavel fall at $440,000 [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013Fans of Porsche in America have longed for the chance to buy a 959 ever since the German automaker produced and sold it (well, sold it everywhere but the United States...) in the 1980s. Well, they just had their chance. The car you see above is a Porsche 959 prototype built in 1986, and only one other running prototype still exists.
The 959 prototype can't be driven on public roads, as it carries no such certification. Somehow, we doubt that matters all that much to the new buyer - this one is probably going to be sitting in a collection. When the gavel finally fell, bidding had reached $400,000, plus a 10-percent buyer's fee.
Check out our high-res image gallery above to see this prototype up close, and scroll down below to watch a video of it crossing the auction block and for its official auction description.
Porsche Cayenne spied unconstrained by camouflage
Thu, 05 Jun 2014Meet the facelifted Porsche Cayenne. Our eagle-eyed spy shooters captured this example of Porsche's freshened SUV virtually devoid of camo, giving us our clearest look yet at what the eventual mid-cycle work will do to the strong-selling Cayenne.
The overall changes do, indeed, look minor, with a reprofiled intake being the most obvious item. The headlights are still covered, so we don't know what kind of jeweling has been done, but the shape does appear identical to the current model. Overall, the changes appear totally in line with a mid-cycle refresh.
As we explained previously, a plug-in Cayenne is on the way. It will join a crop of engines that is likely to be similar to what's on offer today, with naturally aspirated, turbocharged, hybrid and diesel variants released over time.
