Up for sale is a 1968 Porsche 911 USA Coupe. The car started off as a project and was going to be made into a race car but was in too good of shape to tear apart. Some restoration was started but still needs body and paint and some interior clean up. 11830157 Chassis Number Engine- 901/14 Engine Code *3280276*. The engine runs great and looks to be original, no knocks or ticks. There seems to be minimal oil leaks(only a couple drops on case). It has the updated tensioners installed. The power seems like it is all there. The carburetors are brand new out of the box(NOT rebuilt) PMO Webber carbs with pictures of box with specs. The exhaust has SS SSI Dansk Equal length heater box headers. All of the engine tins, air cleaner, plus extras were powder coated and looks great. Alternator fan was cleaned up and coated and belt adjusted. The carburetors were just installed and tuned, Oil was just changed, valve adjustment, along with dropping the sump plate at 88,765 Transmission- 236623 Code. The Trans looks to be original. The Transmission shifts fine once the engine is warmed up and back down to normal idle. The clutch feels nice and firm with no signs of slippage. The Gear Oil was just changed and wheel bearings adjusted at 88,765. Body- Overall the body is in pretty good shape. There are a few common spots that are rusting. The floor pans are solid. All suspension mounting points are solid. The paint is not original, nor does it look like it once did (clearcoat is flaking off on roof and hood). Most of the chrome is in good shape. The side mirrors are aftermarket and to be honest do not fit the cars look. All of the body panels seem to line up. Interior- The car has Era correct Recaro seats that were just re-finished by Classic 9 Leather in Dearborn. The rear seats are original but are in good shape. All the covers and plates inside the car were taken out, sandblasted and either powder coated or painted. The dash has a pad on top of it, ,meaning the dash needs to be replaced. The headliner is all there and intact however has discolored and should also be replaced. The carpet is clean but shows its age. Heat works great! (Currently 15* here) Overall the car is in pretty good shape and should really be in the hands of someone who will appreciate it more.

Porsche 911 hybrid could get green light after all

Wed, May 13 2015

The prospect of producing a hybrid version of the Porsche 911 has been on and off the table more times than we'd care to count. But before the year is up, the German automaker will make up its mind whether or not it will put the idea in motion. Porsche currently offers more plug-in hybrids than any other automaker. And according to Porsche CEO Matthias Muller in speaking with Automotive News, the opportunity exists to expand the powertrain technology to every model in the company's lineup, including the 911. The sports car would likely be the next in line for hybridization, said Muller, giving Porsche a direct competitor to the BMW i8. It wouldn't be the first time Zuffenhausen would slot a hybrid powertrain into the iconic rear-engined coupe, having previously raced the 911 GT3 R Hybrid (pictured above), but it would be the first road-going version available to customers. "That is a technique which we at Porsche are very familiar with," Muller told AN, "so we can suppose that we could have plug-ins all over the model range, not only to save fuel but also to boost the performance of these cars." Currently the E-Hybrid versions of the Cayenne and Panamera which Porsche offers account for roughly 15 and 11 percent of their respective model lines' sales in the US, while the 918 Spyder, of course, is offered only as a hybrid. If the 911 hybrid gets the green light, that would leave only the Macan, Boxster and Cayman without the option of electric assist. Related Video:
