1967 912 Soft Window
Targa Red Vin 550214 Car is located in Bend Oregon 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. 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 !! 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 |

Evo sets up duel of Porsche 911s
Thu, 20 Mar 2014What's better, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive? That question has occupied auto enthusiasts for years, and so far, we've not really had a solid answer one way or the other. Evo has opted to take another whack at this tough question by pairing a pair of Porsche 911s against each other for a track battle.
In one corner, we have the two-wheel-drive 911 Carrera S, complete with the lickity-split PDK transmission, a sports suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes. In the other corner, it's the all-wheel-drive 911 Carrera 4S in a much mellower spec, with a seven-speed manual, as well as standard brakes and suspension. While the results seem like they'd be a foregone conclusion, some very British weather is there to act as the great equalizer.
We've got the full video down below. Have a look, and let us know if you agree with Evo's results.
Porsche Cayman GT4 speeds back into view
Tue, 18 Nov 2014We're all familiar with the succession of numbers that follow the letters GT on a hard-core Porsche 911: the GT1 that was Stuttgart's Le Mans contender in the late 90s, the GT2 that packs turbochargers but without the Turbo's all-wheel drive and excess weight, and the naturally aspirated GT3 that's the enthusiast's choice. But a GT4? That's something new, and exactly what Porsche has in store.
Spied testing in Germany once again is the upcoming GT4 version of the Porsche Cayman, set to supersede the existing GTS and take the place of the previous Cayman R at the top of Porsche's junior sports car range. This latest batch of spy shots doesn't show us much more than the last crop, but gives us a much clearer view at what promises to be the most hardcore Cayman to date.
As you can see, the Cayman GT4 packs a much more aggressive aero kit and rolling stock than any version we've seen to date. It's got a lip spoiler, big air dam and GT3-style vent in front of the hood, deep air scoops along the flanks, a set of spindly alloys packing oversized brakes, a diffuser with twin central exhaust tips around back and a rear wing that's likely to be replaced with a sleeker unit before the GT4 reaches production.
Porsche 918 Spyder could lap the 'Ring even quicker [w/video]
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Porsche had a lot to crow about at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. Not only did it debut the new 50 Years edition and Turbo versions of the 911 and the new hybrid and diesel versions of the Panamera, but while unveiling the final production version of the new 918 Spyder, it revealed the record lap it set around the Nürburgring.
The 918 Spyder's 6:57 lap time makes it the fastest street-legal production car ever to lap the Nordschleife and the first to break the seven-minute barrier. But the driver who clocked the time thinks it can go even faster.
That driver was Marc Lieb, who has won the Nürburgring 24-hour race four times, making him something of an expert on the subject. In speaking with Australia's Drive TV, Lieb suggested that they could get even more out of the car, as you can hear for yourself in the video below.
