This 912 Porsche was an early model with several distinguishing features found on the early cars. It has the early flat closure panel for the engine deck lid and a 5 speed transmission as standard equipment. The four speed transmission was not yet available. It was ordered with 5 gauges and was completed September 6th,1965. Upon entering the United States, it was titled as a 1966 model year.
This is a Porsche/Reutter bodied car. It likely remained in Europe initially as it retains the European heater system. The transmission is the original per the C.O.A. and the engine was replaced at some point by a rebuilt engine #740625.The Solex carbs were replaced with Webers.The original color was Sand Beige with a Beige interior. It is presently silver with a black interior.The car is in excellent mechanical condition and accelerates briskly and holds its own in city traffic and on the highway. The front shocks are new and the rears were replaced 3 or 4 years old and are in like new condition. I have owned the car for over 2 years and driven it regularly in good weather. The front pan was replaced some time in the past and there is a bubble in the paint at the rear of the right front fender. The floor pan is original and seems to be in good condition. I had planned to restore the car back to its original configuration but its becoming obvious that it is not going to happen. I have included a picture of the C.O.A. which shows the car was equipped with Chrome Wheels, Clock, Outside Temperature Gauge, Signal Key (no, I do not know what that is), Antenna and Wood Steering Wheel. When I purchased the car it did not have a wood wheel.It presently has a new Nardi Wood Steering Wheel. I have since purchased a correct Porsche Wood Steering Wheel which was restored by Bruce Crawford. I will make it available to the buyer for an additional cost if desired. This car can be used as a daily driver but it would also be a good car to restore. The buyer is responsible for shipping.
Please contact me with any questions before bidding. The car is available for inspection by appointment. This car is advertised elsewhere. I reserve the right to close this auction if it is sold. The reserve price will not be divulged.

Porsche would have entered F1 if Audi had blocked its Le Mans program
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Go back a few years and you may have heard rumors of Porsche heading into Formula One. That never came to pass - or at least, it hasn't yet - but that doesn't mean that it wasn't close to happening. That's how committed to returning to top-level motorsport competition Porsche has become recently.
Autosport reports that just as Porsche was merging fully into the Volkswagen Group, Zuffenhausen was weighing its options for a factory racing program. Le Mans was its favorite, which makes sense, as it remains far and away the most successful constructor in the history of the famous endurance race. But the strategists at Porsche were worried that its new corporate overlords at Volkswagen wouldn't support two LMP1 programs and would favor Audi, which has positively dominated the modern era of endurance racing, coming second only to Porsche in the number of Le Mans victories it has scored to date.
Porsche's Plan B was reportedly to head into Formula One, although it isn't clear if the German automaker was intent on starting its own team, buying an existing one or merely providing engines to other teams. Porsche fielded its own cars in F1 in the late 1950s and early 60s, and returned as an engine supplier with TAG to power McLaren in the 1980s, powering Niki Lauda and Alain Prost to the World Championship in 1984 and 1985.
'Ring Queen Sabine Schmitz battles Ron Simons in Porsche vs Ferrari scrap
Tue, 04 Jun 2013We hope you have seven minutes to kill. RSR Nürburgring recently took the time to pit Sabine Schmitz and her slightly modified Porsche 911 GT3 RS against Ron Simons and his Ferrari 458 Italia in a sparring match around the infamous Green Hell. The clip begins with the two drivers engaging in a smidgeon of smack talk before the two get down to the business of beating each other's doors off around one of the most challenging courses in the world. Simons calls his car superior to Schmitz's 911, while Schmitz says she's up against nothing more than a Fiat driven by an old Dutch man.
Don't hold any punches, you two.
We won't spoil the finale for you, but we will say the tango is worth watching. At the end, the loser calls for a rematch. We can't wait to see that throwdown. Check out the clip below for yourself.
Porsche 918 Spyder debuts with new N"urburgring lap record [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013It's been a long time in the making, but Porsche has finally revealed the final production version of its long-awaited 918 Spyder here at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And yet that's not even the big news surrounding the hybrid hypercar.
No, the big news is that, while Porsche was preparing taking the wraps off the car here in Frankfurt, elsewhere in Germany a team was setting a blistering lap time at the Nürburgring. And not just any blistering lap time, but a new world record.
Porsche claims that, on the morning of September 4, a team of three drivers (including former rally champ Walter Röhrl and Porsche test drivers Timo Kluck and Marc Lieb) broke the Nordschleife lap record, Lieb finally setting the best time at 6:57 at an average of 111 miles per hour.
