Porsche 912 Karmann Coupe, burgundy with a black interior, 5 speed gearbox.
110,000 miles on the odometer. The car just came out of a long term ownership.
It was off the road for a while. I was told by the previous owner that the
engine was completely rebuilt some years ago, although I do not have any
records to back up this claim. The front
floors look good but there is rust holes on the rear area including the floors
as you can see in the pictures. There are some rust bubbles by the top of the
drivers’ side fender and the passenger side rear fender. The paint has some
blemishes. Glass is good all the way around. The interior
seems to be all original but there are cracks on the seats and it is showing
its age. 1968 Porsche
912 factory paint code reads 15163-L. This is not only a unique and special
order color for this 912 but is a rare and unique car since Porsche didn't have
a paint code of 15163 in 1968. The COA states that it was Champagne Yellow, a
special ordered paint with paint code 16153. Since this was a special ordered
paint, when they stamped the factory paint plate "kunstharzlack" they
transposed the numbers. This is a unique mistake and one that never seemed to
happen at the Porsche factory nor go un-noticed at the Porsche production
facility. With our research, this seems to be the only car we have found that
has this unique characteristic. You can still see the original Champagne Yellow
color through many spots on the car. Mechanically,
we just got the car running and driving but it is not roadworthy. Comes with spare
tire and jack. An excellent
candidate for cosmetic restoration. These 912 SWB’s are appreciating in value
rapidly. Any questions welcome. For more pictures please visit us at http://mbvintagecars.com/default.php or call Frank Sajjad at 2166452100. (We can help to make arrangements for worldwide shipping.)

Porsche (finally) unleashes full, official details on 918 Spyder
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Porsche has finally let released all of the details on the 918 Spyder, the German brand's challenger to the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari, after months of leading our poor, performance-loving hearts on. The covers were lifted at the Volkswagen Group night, an enormous precursor to the Frankfurt Motor Show, and include a massive, 11,000-word press release that's attached at the bottom of this page.
The 918 Spyder features a mid-mounted, dry-sump-lubricated, 4.6-liter V8 engine that generates 608 horsepower when left to its own devices. Combined with a trio of electric motors, which produce 286 hp, the total system horsepower for the 918 Spyder rests at 887 ponies. That's less than the McLaren P1 (903 hp) and the LaFerrari (949 hp), but the Porsche is also likely to be a bit cheaper, starting at $845,000, while the McLaren will be in the seven-figure range for certain, and it will more than likely be joined by the LaFezza.
The 918 Spyder counters with a 2.8-second jog to 62, a 7.7-second run to 124 and it will hit 186 in 22 seconds.
Porsche stalls on Ferrari 458 rival
Mon, 17 Nov 2014A few years ago, reports surfaced that Porsche was planning a new supercar. But the latest intel suggests that the plan has been put indefinitely on the back burner.
The project alternately referred to as 960 or 988 was put forth by CEO Matthias Müller shortly after he assumed control of the German automaker. It called for a mid-engined V8 supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder to take on the likes of the Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren 650S and sister-company Lamborghini's Gallardo and subsequent Huracán.
Now three years since the idea was first mooted, the vehicle has yet to materialize. According to Autocar, Porsche is putting a greater emphasis on refreshing its existing lineup. Which is probably just as well, because the mid-engined supercar would have a heck of a challenge on its hands to differentiate itself in terms of performance from the 911 GT3 and 911 Turbo, which already give the 458 and company a run for their money.
Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
