  • I am selling my 1968 Porsche 912 coupe. I have owned this car for 25 years and it has always been garaged and has only been driven once in the rain since she has been mine. I had the exterior restored in 1991 and you can tell by the pictures that the paint on the car still looks like it just came from the body shop. The paint is in excellent condition. This is a rust free car as far as I know. The car was undercoated immediately after the car was restored and painted. The interior was never restored but everything inside is presentable. I always had seat covers on the front seat to cover some of the visible signs of wear so the seats need some attention. The mirrors are not original Porsche mirrors. The car runs and drives very well.


    • 4 cylinder 1582 cc , 1.6 Liter engine

    • 5 speed manual transmission

    • Dual Dellorto downdraft carburetors

    • Rear steel flares

    • Guards Red paint job

    • Short shifter kit and replaced linkage for easier shifting

    • 205/50 HR 15 BF Goodrich front tires

    • 225/50 R 15 BF Goodrich rear tires


    The engine was rebuilt approximately 2 years before I purchased it in 1991. The odometer reads 69,613 miles. I have no verification if has turned over or if that is original miles. I have only put on approximately 4,000 miles in 25 years. The car is very sharp and you won’t be disappointed. Please e-mail me with any questions. Thanks for looking.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

The mid-engine Porsche backstory

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

As an automaker's identity evolves over years, its signature becomes defined by any number of factors - heritage (Mercedes-Benz), image (Lamborghini), or market share (Toyota). In the case of Porsche, it was an engineering quirk that forged the German company's most enduring character trait.
Porsche would not have survived - let alone, thrived - in today's saturated landscape had it not been for the 911, and that slope-tailed sports car wouldn't have sprung to life without its predecessor, the 356. While phenomenal success of those rear-engine icons built the company, forays into the mid-engine configuration have played a significant part in establishing the brand's identity.
