Daytona Beach, Florida, United States
1976 Porsche 912E Please Review all 59 Pics in the Picassa Album and the YouTube Video, below. The Pics and Video tell the story of this excellent Survivor Class 912E that is turn key and ready to be enjoyed from your first day of ownership! Seriously, even the Clock and Fuel Gauge Work! Striking Color Combination of Silver over Black The paint shines up nicely and looks great! You can enter this 912E into a local show without hesitation. I estimate this to be the 1st repaint in correct, factory silver and likely some 10-15 years old. Of course, there is the occasional imperfection in the paint but nothing of concern for a driver level car. Engine Starts right up and Accelerates without any Hesitations, Transmission Shifts Properly, Steering is Tight and the 912 Drives and Brakes Properly and Straight Recently serviced by Kennedy Porsche in Daytona Beach. The previous owner drove this 912 from Daytona to Amelia Island for the Concours (1.5 hr drive each way). This 912E was part of the "Cars and Coffee" event Saturday before the Amelia Island Concours, see windshield event sticker. Desirable 5 Speed with Factory A/C (the a/c system appears complete but does not blow cold) and Sunroof! The undercarriage is very solid! See detailed pics in the Picassa Album, below. Nice Clean Trunk Compartment with Jack, Tow Pin, Lug Wrench and Spare Tire (I believe the Spare to be Original). Original Warranty Book and Owner's Manual with Protective Case is Present! The Interior is in great condition! I believe the Seats and Carpet to be Original. The Sport Bucket Seats are a highly desirable option and are incredibly comfortable! The CoCo Mats are an Excellent Upgrade! Glass is all in great condition and the chrome and stainless trim present well! I have driven this 912E for over 100 miles around town without issue. Candidly, I have not even detailed this 912E. It really presents well and, after a professional detail, should look stunning! WE HAVE OTHER CLASSIC MERCEDES AND PORSCHE AVAILABLE! I can assist with shipping worldwide (major European Ports $1,250-$1,500) . I will deliver to Jacksonville, FL Port for $175 or Miami Port for $375. Call Mike with any questions 386.334.0709.

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.
Are you the next Porsche 911 GT3 RS or GT2?
Thu, 17 Apr 2014Porsche typically keeps to a suitably fast schedule when it comes to rolling out increasingly hard-core performance versions of the 911. After the 997 Carrera debuted in 2004, the GT3 version followed in 2006, and by the end of the 2007, Porsche had rolled out both the GT3 RS and GT2 versions. Then the facelifted 997.5 came out in 2008 and it was back to the start: the GT3 came in 2009, the GT3 RS and GT2 RS in 2010, and the GT3 RS 4.0 in 2011. But things have slowed down some with the latest 991 generation.
The new Carrera came in 2011 and the GT3 followed in 2012. By recent history's example, we should have at least two more hardcore models by now, but we don't. Maybe the engineers in Zuffenhausen have had their hands full fixing the spontaneous-combustion issues with the existing GT3, or maybe their attentions have been focused elsewhere altogether. But if these spy shots are anything to go by, it seems like they're back on the job.
Now we don't know if this prototype foreshadows a new GT3 RS or a GT2, but it sure looks more hard-core than the existing GT3 that many purists have derided as too soft, what with its automatic transmission and four-wheel steering.
Porsche tuners 9ff, SpeedArt going bankrupt
Thu, 19 Sep 2013Times are tough in Europe right now, and that unfortunately has reaped disastrous consequences for some of its smallest niche automakers. Gumpert, Wiesmann, Artega and Lola have all filed for bankruptcy this year, and it appears that tuners are not immune to the tough times, either.
Word coming in from across the pond suggests that 9ff and SpeedArt - two of the biggest names in Porsche tuning - have filed for bankruptcy as well. 9ff is best known for the GT9, a radical hypercar barely based on the 911, while SpeedArt was once of the foremost tuners of Porsches.
Fortunately there are still plenty of tuners ready to take a wrench to your Elfen, but the reported demise of these two makes the market a little bit smaller and - for Porsche enthusiasts - maybe the world a little bit lonelier, too.
