The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

This wonderful car sat covered in a garage since 1995 by its second owner. It was rescued in March 2012 by the third owner (me) and put back on the road after some minor mechanical work. The issues with this car are only cosmetic and minor mechanical.

If you have been watching the value of early 912 Targas (especially soft windows) then you know that the prices have been escalating year after year even in this down economy. Hagarty Insurance specializes in insuring classic cars and keeps an accurate database on Porsche values. Go to Hagerty directly and check it out car values.

You have seen all of the other 912 Targas on ebay - and a vast majority of them were POS cars with major flaws. You have seen rust buckets being bought with rusted out floorboards, leaking back windows that rusted out the back seat area, incomplete bodies, wrong interiors, wrong seats, damaged front and rear quarters, rusted out battery boxes, missing or torn soft windows, exposed wiring, cracked dashes, trashed paint, large poorly welded in sections to the front end etc. This car has none of that! AND IT’S PRICED RIGHT!

The Porsche 912 Soft Window Targa has done nothing but INCREASE in value year after year! If you have been waiting for “THE” car to either do a full restoration on or to simply fix the little bugs and drive then this is it! The terrific condition of this 45 year old classic is the single reason why I bought it - with the full intention of doing a full restoration and then the monthly drive to car shows. I love my Targa but unfortunately my garage is now too small for all my other projects. After some serious consideration, it is my Targa that must be sold. My loss is your gain. Restored 1967 Soft Windows are pushing $65K + restored and that number will just keep going up!

The car naturally will be sold “as is” with no guarantee on the drive train. I have posted the car on ebay but I have several NorCal collectors looking at it along with it being advertised locally so it may drop off of ebay if someone local decides to own it.

I do NOT have a ridiculous reserve on the car!!!

The wining bidder will be responsible for all arrangements and costs associated with pick up and transportation.

5. Under the front of the Porsche emblem you can see a crack in the paint most likely from a faulty repair prior to the 1980’s paint job.
6. Typical road rash on paint from being a driver and poorly touched up. The paint looks good from a few feet away and while driving down the road but there are a lot of small nicks and scrapes.

14. Drivers side front seat front tilt "locking" mechanism broken (typical). Slider and tilt work just fine though.
15. It is unknown if the 1st or 2cnd owner had any engine or transmission work done on the car. The tranny looks untouched. I cannot determine if the engine has been apart or not.
16. A few of the small dash lights are burnt out and will need to be replaced.
17. Missing cigarette lighter and tool kit.
18. Back seats have a few small 1" tears (see pics).

If local please email to arrange a test drive and check out the car in person! (thank you to you guys that came by and test drove it this past weekend - now bring some money)!!!

I have undercarriage pictures including underneath the doors - NO RUST. Email and I'll send them to you!

ALSO - I need more room in the garage so I will also throw in any and all spare 912 parts that I have that are not related to this particular car but may come in handy down the road (heater boxes, 1969 generator, extra engine tin, nuts & bolts, headlight glass, gaskets, hardware etc.)

Massive barn find auction with classic Lamborghinis, Porsches, Jaguars happening in France

Wed, Jan 16 2019

If it's the right make and model, a single classic car found in a barn can make headlines. This discovery was much bigger. Eighty cars bigger, and now they're going up for auction in France. Brought to our attention by Road & Track, this diverse collection of 81 classic cars from the 1950s, '60s, '70s, and '80s was originally found months ago. The cars were strewn about in the weeds, as seen in the weirdly calming and nicely filmed video seen below. It's not as shockingly impressive as the French barn find from a few years back, but the variety in the lot of rare vehicles is remarkable, nonetheless. Some of the most notable cars included in the auction are a highly coveted Lamborghini Miura P400, a Porsche 356 coupe, a Series 1 Jaguar E-Type coupe, and a Citroen 2CV. Other interesting vehicles include a Chrysler Imperial C14, an Autobianchi Bianchina 110FB, a C3 Corvette T-Top, a Ford Anglia, a Rolland Pilain B22, and a Stutz Speedway Six. The collection is nearly a dictionary of different auto makes: Renault, Alfa Romeo, Cadillac, Lancia, Simca, a Delage, Panhard, Lincoln, Packard, Oldmobile, a Hotchkiss, Graham Paige, Vauxhall, Opel, Peugeot, Trabant, Volkswagen, Audi, Buick, Fiat, Talbot, Mercedes-Benz, and a random Ferrari GTO body kit. There are also some random pieces and parts of cars, including some loose engines. Some of the cars can be secretly bid on right now, but the main auction will occur Sunday, January 20.

Porsche issues stop-sale on Cayenne Diesel in US

Wed, Nov 4 2015

As reported yesterday, the ongoing Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal has expanded to the VW Group's 3.0-liter TDI V6 engines. The Environmental Protection Agency's finding implicate many engines used by Audi and Porsche, including Porsche's only US domestic market diesel offering: the Cayenne. And after putting two and two together, Porsche has issued a stop-sale on its US-market Cayenne diesels. Porsche's statement is terse. They refer to the EPA's findings as "unexpected," and stress that its stop-sale order is "voluntary." And Porsche assures owners that they can continue to drive their Cayennes as per normal, like the rest of the VW Group vehicles called into question for NOx emissions. The stop-sale order will remain in place indefinitely, until Porsche can "resolve" the issue. No word as of yet as to what the fix will be for the 3.0-liter TDI engines. Porsche Cars North America Statement Regarding Voluntary Stop Sale of Porsche Cayenne Diesel Vehicles ATLANTA, Nov. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Porsche Cars North America, Inc. today decided, in view of the unexpected U.S. EPA notice received yesterday, to voluntarily discontinue sales of model year 2014 through 2016 Porsche Cayenne Diesel vehicles until further notice.

700 horsepower Porsche GT2 RS is the wildest 911 ever

Fri, Jun 30 2017

The Porsche 911 comes in a variety of flavors, each filling a certain taste for a certain customer. Sitting atop the range is the new 911 GT2 RS. In previous generations, the GT2 had a bit of a reputation as a widowmaker, a 911 with massive power that could snap and bite with the slightest agitation. Porsche says the new model has been civilized, but with 700 horsepower going to the rear wheels, we're sure it's going to be as mad as ever. Power comes from a highly massaged version of the 3.8-liter flat-six from the 911 Turbo S. The rear-mounted engine makes an outrageous 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Like we previously reported, the new car will use water injection to help keep things cool. The only transmission is Porsche's PDK. While enthusiasts may lament the loss of the manual, the RS models have always been about performance above all else. Simply put, the PDK is the better performance option. All that power translates to a 0-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph. The engine makes 80 more horsepower than the previous model. That makes it the most powerful road-going 911 ever built. In fact, the 887 horsepower 918 Spyder is the only road-going Porsche that makes more power. The fact that Porsche trusts all of that power to go to the rear is both thrilling and terrifying at the same time. In order to manage traction, the GT2 RS gets a number of upgrades. Rear-wheel steering has become commonplace in the 911 lineup, so it's no surprise to see it here. Sticky tires with 265/35 ZR 20 section rubber at the front and 325/30 ZR 21 section rubber at the rear keep things planted. That comically large rear wing adds downforce, adding to stability. The car gets standard carbon ceramic brakes. While some people prefer traditional rotors for the street, like the PDK, this is all about performance. A number of intakes and outlets complement the rear wing and maximize aerodynamic efficiency. It's a bit of a surprise that with all the focus on downforce, the GT2 RS still manages to top out at 211 mph. The hood, front wings, wheel housing vents, door mirrors, side air intakes, parts of the rear end, and a number of interior components are all made from carbon fiber. The roof has been made of magnesium. If you want to drop any pretense of civility and comfort in the pursuit of speed, Porsche is offering a Weissach package that shaves off another 40 pounds from the already impressive wet weight of 3,241.
