 1969 Porsche 912 for sale.

All original. All records from new, including original bill of sale. One key. This 912 was driven in Washington State and California before coming to PA in the 70's. It was driven until 1982 and has been sitting in a garage in Bucks County since. You will be the 3rd owner of this adorable, air cooled sports car. The title is free and clear. This was the 400th car built by Porsche in 1969 (per Dr. B Johnson in his book "The 911 & 912 Porsche. A Restorers Guide to Authenticity"). All numbers matching. The car has only 50,281 original miles (documented with all original receipts). This 912 is a 5 speed manual coupe. The VIN is 129020491.

Awesome original interior. Needs some minor work- new headliner, new springs in driver's seat, door panels need gluing. Backseats are minty. Floorboards are in great condition and are NOT rusted through. The shift linkage is in excellent condition (not loose) and is not rusted.

The exterior is what makes this a project. This is an excellent candidate for a restoration. The car needs new rocker panels, door sills, a suspension pan and the front bar, as a minimum. The body panels are straight and mostly rust-free, with the exception of a few quarter sized dots of rust here and there (passenger front panel, for example). It could use a paint job, too, if you are so inclined (though I like the patina myself). The hubcaps and wheels are in very good condition with just a little surface rust. This car needs new tires. The original spare is included. The gas tank holds gas- it does not leak and is not rusted. All glass is minty- no cracks or chips. All gaskets are very good.

We have not checked the condition of the brakes at this time. The e-brake is functioning. The car turns and rolls (the wheels are not seized).

We have owned this car just a few weeks and gently worked on it. We installed a new battery, new spark plugs, new rotor, new distributor cap, new coil, new fuel filter, cleaned the carbs and got it running. We recommend draining the gas tank (we ran off an auxiliary tank) and rebuilding the carbs.

This is a beautiful Porsche. We're Porsche nuts and we're smitten with this 912 and wish we had the time to restore her ourselves. Take advantage of our busy schedules and add her to your collection! Please email me to set up a visit. Cash or bank check in person, please. Happy to help facilitate transport. Thanks, Kara.

Driving 50 years of Porsche 911 history

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Raiding The Porsche Museum For A Fun Track Day
It seems everyone is celebrating anniversaries this year: it's Aston's hundredth, Lamborghini's fiftieth, Ford Mustang's fiftieth, Chevy Corvette's sixtieth - and Tesla just turned ten or something. It's been a little out of hand, frankly, all these forced marketing festivities, but if we had to pick one milestone to really celebrate hard and party all night, the Porsche 911 would be at the top of our list.
Get ready for a major 911 blowout bash at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show. It was on September 12 back in 1963 at this very show where Porsche unveiled its "901" painted in a rather boring shade of beige. Though drably finished, the car caused a worldwide frenzy in the budding German sports car sphere.

Why you must buy an air-cooled Porsche 911 now

Fri, 14 Feb 2014

"Because" might be a good response to our headline, but as a vintage (purists might call 'proper') Porsche 911 is hardly cheap, we suspect you'll need a better explanation than that. Enter Drive editor Mike Spinelli.
Spinelli sits down with Zac Moseley and Mick Prichinello from Classic Car Club Manhattan to first explain why the market for old, air-cooled 911s has gotten so hot over the past few years, and to discuss if it's a bubble that's about to burst. Following that, this video is really is just three guys sitting around talking about old Porsches for 35 minutes. Which, you know, we're pretty onboard with.
Scroll down and have a look at the latest episode of After/Drive, from Drive.

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
