I purchased the car to restore and keep in my collection. The original owner sold me his car in 2010, and I have just recently completed the comprehensive restoration. The car was purchased on the European delivery program, driven in Europe, shipped to New York, and driven to California. The owner was an Engineer who drove the car sparingly for about 10 years. He then took what was to be a temporary job in Asia, and ended up staying for 30 years. The car sat unused for the 30 years.

This original black plate California car never had any rust, accidents, or was ever taken apart before I began the restoration in 2011. In my 30 years of Porsche Restorations I have never seen such a straight rust free example. Unfortunately the rubber, trim, lights, lenses, and interior did not fare so well sitting in the California sun. The following is a list of most of the things I have done:

• The car was disassembled, stripped to bare metal and resprayed with Glassurit paint in the original color of Light Ivory. The paint was all original on the whole car. The paint work was done by Legacy paint in Mission Viejo, CA and is flawless.
• The interior work was done by K and H Interiors of Garden Grove in Red vinyl. They have won numerous awards from Porsche shows. The seats were rebuilt, restuffed, and covered in the correct basket weave. New correct 68 only door panels were installed also in red. The two part black dash was recovered. New door tops, quarter panel interior panels, and tops were installed. The armrests were recovered in red. The interior was completed with red German square weave carpeting. The rear seats were also recovered in red
• A new complete rear window assembly from Autos International was installed
• New Targa top seals, side seals, Targa bar seals, windshield seal, door seals, hood seals, bumper to body seals, fender to cowl seals, license panel seal, and door threshold trim was installed.
• The bumper guards, bumper moldings (narrow trim), rocker moldings, turn signal lenses, license plate lights, and rear view mirror are new
• The window frames were rechromed, and the windshield trim is new
• The H4 headlights and gaskets are new
• Correct new Michellin XZX 165 SR 15 tires were installed
• The master cylinder, brake lines, and brake pads are new. the calipers were rebuilt.
• The gas tank was removed, cleaned, and resealed. The fuel lines and filter are new.
• The rear cooling tin was powder coated
• The carburetors were rebuilt, and a major service was performed to make the car completely road worthy
• A new Speedometer cable was installed along with new motor mounts, and shifter bushings front and rear.
• The sound pad and the front trunk carpet are new
• The battery, hood shocks, windshield trim, gas cap, oil cap, door strikers and window crank are new.
• The car was originally sold as a radio delete car with no radio, antennae, or speaker in the dash.....very cool!
• Original paperwork comes with the car. Including: Owners manual, maintenance record book, annex to drivers manual, Porsche service locations, and US distributors and dealers book

A 35K mile 912 does not drive like a tired 40 year old one. It is an absolute pleasure to drive, running, shifting, and braking like a new 912 would have. When will another 912 with this kind of history and work done to it ever become available again? I unfortunately need to sell one car from my collection. I also have for sale a 1985 911 Carrera M491 car. When one sells the other will be taken off the market.

This car does not smoke and does not drip oil and is ready for 50 more years of driving enjoyment.

I have been selling Porsche cars on ebay for 15 years and have over 190 positive feedbacks and one negative. The negative came from a buyer clicking on the buy it now without doing any inspection or even asking questions and was unhappy that a 30 year old 911 was not mechanically perfect. Please ask your questions before bidding. I can take any other picture you may request. Reputable shops are available to perform a PPI at the buyers expense

The car is advertised locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time
