1965 Porsche 912 No Reserve Early 3 Gauge Painted Dash California Survivor (911) on 2040-cars
Daytona Beach, Florida, United States
|
1965 Porsche 912 Very Rare and Desirable 3 Gauge Painted Dash 912! This 912 was undergoing restoration when the previous owner passed away. It needs very little sorting/finishing to be a strong driver. I have personally driven this 912 for a couple hundred miles since late January. I first showed the 912 at the Rolex 24 Hour in Daytona Beach. Even though I didn't have a Porsche Club reserved parking pass, the PCA Club waived me into their reserved parking area and made room for the 912 among other notable classics. I was absolutely flattered by the attention the 912 received and the amount of questions I had about the 912. This is definitely a 912 that gets a lot of attention and respect! This car is the bridge between the 356 and 911 with the 356 engine and painted dash styling and 911 Chassis. Values continue to rise across the 912 spectrum; however, very few painted dash cars were built (likely less than 1,500 total) and remain today. Resprayed in the Desirable Original Ruby Red Color. The windows and rubbers were removed during the respray. I would rate the paint quality as sufficient for a driver or local show. It polishes up very nicely but is not concours level. The 912 was recently serviced by Kennedy Porsche in Daytona. The Original Solex Carbs (included in sale) need rebuilding so they were replaced with new Webers. At the same time, a new distributor was installed. The 912 runs very strong at this point. Engine starts right up, Transmission Shifts Smoothly, Drives Straight and Brakes firmly and straight! Please watch the video. I apologize for the quality. My GoPro is having issues so I had to use my iPhone. (you will note in the video I added the exhaust tail pipe since the pics were taken.) This California 912 appears to have its Original Floor Pan! The Pan is solid and free of any significant rust issues. The only issues I noticed was there may be some filler in the rocker panels and there's a small patch on the front pan. However, all things considered, this is about as solid a driver level 912 as you could hope to find. All Original Dated Coded Rims, plus Spare Tire and Jack are Present! Headlight and Taillights work! The Original Radio is Present although Disconnected. Glass is all in great condition and the chrome and stainless trim present well! The Interior is in nice condition and needs very little finishing. The dash mat was replaced but needs securing. The rear seats are serviceable and appear original. The front seats appear to have been recovered and are in nice condition. The seat back adjustment mechanisms will need attention as they don't always lock the seat back in place. Also, there are no seat belts included. All things considered this is an excellent driver level 912 that not only is very original but can be enjoyed from day 1 and improved as time permits. With the increasing value of 912s, this is a great investment and the best of the 912s as it is a very early 3 Gauge, Painted Dash car! **I reserve the right to end auction early. 912 is advertised elsewhere.** **If you are serious about buying, bid early and let me know you're a serious buyer** WE HAVE OTHER CLASSIC MERCEDES AND PORSCHE AVAILABLE!

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.

NHTSA closes probe into 2011 Porsche 911 coolant leaks
Thu, 13 Mar 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that it will end its investigation into rapid coolant loss in 24,635 Porsche 911s built between 2001 and 2011. The models affected included the standard 911, GT2, GT3 and Turbo, as well as their variants (GT2 RS, GT3 RS and Turbo S).
NHTSA was investigating for "rapid coolant loss caused by coolant pipe-fitting failure, allegedly resulting in vehicle disablement and/or loss of vehicle control due to reduced traction for the affected vehicle or following traffic," according to the regulators website. "Most of the leak complaints did not appear to involve complete separation of the fittings and many were detected when the vehicle was parked," said NHTSA's statement.
There were 63 complaints and 336 warranty claims, although the investigation was initiated after ten complaints from customers. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries attributed to rapid coolant loss.
