1965 Porsche 912, Very Early, Painted Dash, 3-gauge, 450xxx Vin, Irish Green on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
|
Porsche 912/450186 is one of the earliest know, 912's in existence. The Porsche 912 Registry lists approximately 10 known 912's with a build date older than this one. Though it's exact build date is unknown, production was likely completed in April of 1965. My research has shown that three gauge, painted dash 912's were only made for the first 1500 units of 912 production. This coupled with the direct link to the 356 model range and the 911, make this a rare and unique vehicle. 912's of this era are the "missing link" from the transition of 356 to the 911, arguably the most significant sports car in history.
This particular Porsche is farm-fresh and ripe for restoration. Delivered in paint code 213, Irish Green, this will be a stunning car when restored. As with many Porsches of this era, it will require floor pans, rockers, suspension pan and some additional rust repair. All of the panels needed for this car are readily sourced from Restoration Design for a reasonable cost. Though much of the interior remains, it is missing a radio or block-off plate, the gauges and the steering wheel has been replaced with what appears to be a period unit. The drive train is missing as well with both engine and trans gone when I acquire it. Though not included in the price, I have available an engine from a 68 912 which had under 70K on the odometer. The engine is currently disassembled, measures standard on the case and crank and includes an NOS set of main bearings for a .010 under crank and standard case. Additionally, I may be able to make available the matching, 5-speed trans for this motor. It was sold awhile back, though it's going unused and I have dibs on getting it back. The Porsche is located in Colorado Springs at my shop, Bulli Klinik. Though I will not arrange transportation for the car, I will do what I can to assist an out of state/country buyer. Additionally, I'll be happy to take more and detailed photos of the car once we get a break in the weather. This Porsche is not currently titled and as a result, will be sold with a bill of sale only. $12,500.00 |

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
2014 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet spotted testing in the nude
Tue, 16 Jul 2013The Porsche 911 wouldn't be the Porsche 911 unless there were twenty-something different models to choose from (note: we are not complaining), and the latest one was just spied by our trusty photographers out on Germany's Nürburgring. Feast your eyes on the 911 Turbo Cabriolet - the droptop version of the new Turbo wonder that debuted in May - looking all sorts of stealth in its black-on-black-on-black prototype scheme.
Mechanically, the 911 Turbo Cab should be identical to the fixed-roof version, meaning a twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six engine will live in the car's rump, putting out something like 520 horsepower. Of course, there's also the hotter Turbo S version of the coupe, and we expect that to get the droptop treatment, as well, with 560 horsepower on tap. The added weight of the folding top and additional structural supports will likely make for slightly slower 0-60 times for both cars, though considering the base Turbo will hit 60 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds, "slower" is a very relative term indeed. All that force will run to the ground via all-wheel drive, managed by Porsche's seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission.
The wide stance of the 911 Turbo Coupe carries over to the Cabriolet, no doubt fitted with the same (standard) 20-inch wheels. Inside, the usual luxury amenities will be on hand, along with nearly endless customization options.
