1966 Porsche 912 in Guards Red over Black 

VIN 451918

This 1966 SWB 3-guage dash 912 began life Bahama Yellow to later be resprayed in Guards Red. The paint was done in the late 80s and still maintains a nice shiny finish with expected dings and imperfections for the age. Interior was also redone at the time including front seat and jump seat upholstery, firewall panel, carpet, sun visors and carpet. The interior presents itself well with no rips or tears in the vinyl upholstery. 

Despite the number of years elapsed, the car appears to have been driven less than 20,000 miles since the cosmetic work. The odometer reads about 88,000 miles now (and counting). I have an extensive set of service receipts that begin in 1983 at about 28,000 miles and progressively accrue miles to the current figure without odometer rollover indicated which works out to about 2,000 miles per year over that 30 year period. 

The 912 was a CA car serviced by Charlie's Foreign Car in Encinitas until bought and driven to NC in 1987. The body is straight with minimal rust showing at base of front windshield gasket. Floor pans appear original and are excellent along with front suspension pan. New gas tank from Performance Porsche in 2005. Minor rust was properly repaired in the smuggler's box two years ago with a very small spot below battery treated Naval Jelly with no change since. Overall it's a terrific example of a fundamentally rust free 912. 

An extensive mechanical overhaul was completed in 2010 with an estimated 3000 miles driven since. This was a no expense spared rebuild of the engine and 5-speed transmission with receipts totaling about $11K. Work was completed by a reputable BMW and Porsche restoration shop in NC. New jugs, pistons, crank bearings, rod bearings, crank pulley, etc. New voltage regulator and Bosch blue coil. 5-Speed received new sync rings, 1/2, 3/4 sliders, rear bearing, gasket/seal kit, shift arm and shifter bushings. A CSP high performance oil cooler was installed at an additional cost of $858. Exhaust is through a $414 "Quiet Street" setup from Classic and Speed Parts. 40 IDF Weber carburetors bought new for the car in 2004 were rebuilt. Gauges recently calibrated. Receipts for all work will be included with sale. The folder of receipts is about 1" thick and dates back to 1982.

Recent oil and filter change with Brad Penn 20W50. Rear suspension bushings were just replaced with high quality Elephant Racing parts. Since photos, new Falken Ziex 912 tires have been installed and I lightly polished the wheel aluminum by hand.

This 912 is a beautiful, well sorted example of a very high driver quality car.  More pics are available upon request. $500 non refundable Paypal deposit due at end of auction with pickup within 10 days. Local inspection is welcome and encouraged

    Another cool projection vid, this time with a Porsche 911

    Fri, 28 Dec 2012

    Porsche has become the latest automaker to take advantage of clever projection technology. The automaker worked up a quick presentation for the 2013 911 Carrera 4S to show off a bit of "motionless driving." The display tracks the sports car from production to back-road caning and city-center cruising, displaying a variety of exterior color choices and wheel options without resorting to a two-dimensional video.
    This isn't the first time we've seen an automaker use its new product as a projection screen. Subaru, Hyundai, Lamborghini and others have all done the same, and the trick never fails to be visually interesting.
    As you may recall, we got to play with the 2013 911 Carrera 4S back in November and found the machine to be a better daily driver than its rear-wheel drive counterpart. You can check out the projection video below.

    Porsche 911 GT3 RS looks wicked, this way comes

    Thu, Dec 11 2014

    Those who didn't think Porsche went extreme enough with the latest 911 GT3 likely won't be disappointed when the more focused GT3 RS arrives. And as you can see from these latest spy shots, it looks like it's speeding right around the corner. Tipped to debut at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS is shaping up to be an enthusiast's dream - and with the prospect of a GT2 in doubt, could be the most hardcore Elfen in the range. Instead of the 3.8-liter flat-six in the current GT3, the new RS will pick up where the previous limited-edition GT3 RS 4.0 left off, with four naturally aspirated liters of unadulterated boxer power channeling a good 520 horses to the rear wheels. That will be a significant increase over the existing 475-hp GT3 and will match the 911 Turbo for output (if not the 560-hp Turbo S) and without any turbo lag to slow down the action, either. Whether it will keep the GT3's dual-clutch gearbox and four-wheel steering system, or ditch one or both for a more analog approach, remains to be seen, but we're holding out hope. Either way, the modifications to the bodywork ought to make the GT3 RS stand out even further and stay glued to the race track it will call home. Notice the deep front splitter scooping up snowflakes like a shovel, a massive rear wing (which may or may not be the final production version), the Turbo-spec rear end with air intakes ahead of the rear wheels, and a set of awesome-looking gills over the front wheels – all of which you can scope out in the gallery full of spy shots above.

    Porsche wins the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans

    Sun, Jun 14 2015

    The question going into this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans was whether or not the Porsche 919 Hybrid would be able to combine its qualifying pace with race reliability. After battling neck-and-neck with Audi's R18 for most of the race, the answer is a resounding yes. Not only did Porsche drivers climb the first two spots on the podium, they did so without any major mishaps on track. This win is the first overall trophy for Porsche since 1998. Audi previously won the last five races, and 13 of the last 15. Corvette also returned to the winner's circle, with the No. 64 C7.R taking winning the GTE Pro division. The victory is the first class win for Corvette since 2011. KCMG won the LMP2 class in ninth overall. With 45 minutes to go the No. 98 Aston Martin crashed out of first place in GTE Amateur, giving the class win to SMP Racing's Ferrari and second place to the Patrick Dempsey Racing Porsche 911 RSR. For the full list of official results, click here. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. For most of the race, the battle at the top went back and forth between the two German manufacturers. An tire puncture in the No. 7 Audi gave up the lead to Porsche, and moments later a crash forced the No. 8 into the garage. But a three-minute replacement of the front and rear bodywork kept the Audi in contention. As the race wore into the night, Porsche maintained a slightly faster pace than Audi. Nick Tandy took the lead on Lap 253 early Sunday morning, and car No. 19 never gave up the top position. The win is the first for all three drivers of the No. 19 – Nico Hulkenberg, Earl Bamber, and Nick Tandy. A lap behind in second was the No. 17 Porsche. The Audis fought reliability problems late in the race but still finished third with the No. 7 R18. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. As the Aston Martin cars dropped away, the lone Corvette Racing entry took over, followed by a charging AF Corse team Ferrari 458 Italia. The Corvette and Ferrari continued to trade places in the final hours until gearbox trouble forced the No. 51 Ferrari out of contention. It was eventually passed by the other AF Corse car, No. 71. Nissan experienced all the pain of a first-year effort with its front-wheel-drive GT-R LM Nismo.
