I am very Familiar with Porsche Cars , as I have been collecting them for 25 years, I arely sell one of my own vehicles so I am picky about representing it honestly,  I know the cars and have a good reputation, I am not a casual collector, and I will represent the car accurately. If you are serious and don't plan to lo ball or play a scam. We can set up a phone conversation.

I bought this car many years ago and have stored it inside, with all my other cars I have many other Early P-Cars and haven’t had the time to drive it much so it is time to go to a caring home.

 Car was originally Irish green and is painted completely Guards red, you have to search to see the green and I mean really search

 A Lot of money was thrown at this car by the previous owner any rust issues  were dealt with, All the welding in floors, pans etc. was not perfectly ground down or painted the correct Wurth colors. Any rust is gone period 

that existed are gone, the tub is solid but not a 50K Job It is better than many shops turn out and is not a bondo fix (Nor is it a Porsche Classic Body panel alignment) Seats were replaced with an original set with factory headrests,  Soft window is near new  Car comes with a tonneau for the rear window 

Engine was rebuilt  and pulls very strong . I am guessing it might have 20-25 hours on the motor Compression is 130-138 on all cylinders. The previous owner stamped the motor kind of funky so I will not say its original, it  puts out significantly more power than a stock motor and has a new Bursch muffler and headers. It sounds awesome 

The car has had a complete service, all fluids etc. have been changed

New Battery and all lights checked etc.

Fuel system drained flushed and Carbs cleaned and rebuilt

Brake lines re -done (brakes are at 85 percent plus)

4  new Konis all the way around, bushing and suspension including

alignment and a quick corner balance

5 Speed 901 shifts well with no wacky noises I little tough going into first at speed but not at rest

It had a bad set of pitted Brazilians so I replaced with knock off 5.5x15 Fuchs

I can put on Steel wheels or 5.5 Fuchs or 6 Inch Fuchs

So new Yokohama sports were fitted. these fuch look a likes really look nice and handle well.

I do not remember about the clock but everything else but the radio is working 

All locks are keyed correctly 

I would rate this car as a  3+ great 2-3 foot driver, If a Porsche expert wants to find it’s faults well there are always ones that are better. Soft Window Targa’s are rare and I have owned ( and still own other examples ) they are going to appreciate as they will cruise at 80 and handles very well. To me the targa on and back window down on a hot day is blast and more fun than most open cars !!

 I have no doubts that passing TUV after changing the tail headlight covers would be a breeze. I live much of the year in Germany and am very familiar So I do not mind an overseas buyer if car is paid for up front and you arrange your own shipping No I WILL NOT FORGE A LOW BILL OF SALE

The guys who did the work are well respected and I have no problem giving you references and put you in contact with them for more info

The 80 or so pics are a good indication of the car flaws and all. At 47 Yrs old it get a huge amount of attention and get thumbs up and questions every time its driven

I am not a dealer but a hobbiest and have way too many cars, I will never have time to drive this much.

With College coming up for my kids I am thinning the herd a bit , If you are looking for a driver quality car that brings a smile to your face this is it, the 912 soft window is like driving a Speedster/356 cab without spending $150K This same car in a 911 would command over $120K 

Yes It has taken peoples choice and other awards at shows, but the Guys who did the refresh have worked on Pebble Beach show cars that have sold for over $250K  

Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the Auction Early

Porsche updates 919 Hybrid LMP1 for 2015 assault [w/video]

Fri, Mar 27 2015

Last season, Porsche returned to the top level of endurance racing with the 919 Hybrid, picking up a mantle that has seen the German marque win the 24 Hours of Le Mans a record sixteen times – more than any other manufacturer ever to compete at the legendary French race. Of course, Porsche didn't beat its sister company Audi right out of the box, but managed to win the last race in the FIA World Endurance Championship in Brazil before the season was done. This year it undoubtedly hopes to do even better, and this is the machine with which it will endeavor to take the top honors. Newly revised and optimized for the 2015 season, the new 919 Hybrid was just revealed on the eve of the first test session of the season at the Paul Ricard test track in the South of France. It may look largely the same as the model it succeeds, but benefits from numerous advancements made to help Porsche catch up with Audi and Toyota. For starters, Zuffenhausen has opted to step up to the eight-megajoule category, favoring the electric side of its hybrid powertrain over the internal combustion engine. So the compact 2.0-liter turbocharged V4 now drives in excess of 500 horsepower to the rear wheels, and the electric motor – powered by two energy recovery systems and a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery – kicks in upwards of 400 hp to the front wheels. The rest of the package has been comprehensively updated as well, giving it a lower weight, improved rigidity, revised suspension and reshaped aerodynamic elements. Porsche will field two cars at most of the races this season, but will increase its team to three cars for certain races – one in black, one in white and one in red. Following the "prologue" test session at Paul Ricard this weekend, the season kicks off with the 6 Hours of Silverstone on April 12, when the new Porsche 919 Hybrid will take on the similarly revised Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro and Toyota TS040 Hybrid for the first time in earnest.
