The 912 is regarded by an increasing faction of Porsche enthusiasts as a very much worthwhile alternative to a more powerful 911. With its lighter 356-style mechanical components and inherently better weight distribution, the 912 is regarded by many as a more balanced driver's car than the 911. Offered here a very desirable short wheelbase, soft-window Targa in Blue over original Beige leatherette upholstery on correct silver vented wheels and optioned with fog lights, electric fan, bumper horns and RF suppression. The car comes from 38 years of single family ownership out of New York State and is accompanied by the original 1976 Bill of Sale from Glen Porsche-Audi Corp, along with servicing records dating to 1976. Today, the Porsche displays older paintwork over the factory Bahama Yellow, while the interior's upholstery, front/rear compartments and underside remain very original. Additionally, the Targa is complete with ALL books, supplements, tools and accessories - including: Maintenance Record Booklet, Driver's Manual, Targa Supplement, Emissions Annex, '68/'69 Distributors & Dealers reference, stamped Blaupunkt Warranty Card and User's Manual. According to the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the motor and transmission are original to the car. Last registered for road use in 2004 this car will need attention to both the cosmetics and mechanicals as it has been in storage for the last 10 years, the motor turns freely and was in running condition not too long ago. Also of note: there IS rust on this car that will have to be repaired we have pictured it and have priced it accordingly. Nevertheless, this Targa serves as an excellent entry into classic SWB Porsche ownership and offers great potential for someone looking to restore just the right early Porsche whether for show or driver quality. The 912 Targa's sporty accommodations and peppy engine produce thrilling tours in 4 optional roof configurations, and with only 2,562 early 912 Targas produced in total (according to the 912 Registry), here is a rare opportunity to acquire such an example with strong continuous collectability.

Driving the million-mile Porsche 356
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Maybe you've seen or heard about the Porsche 356 with almost one-million miles (though it doesn't look like it), but Petrolicious finally has produced a video to show us what it's like to drive the 982,000-mile car. Guy Newmark's beautiful, dark-blue 1964 356C looks great in motion - much better than in photos - and serves to remind us not only what meticulous car care can do for old classics, but that old Porsches were built to last.
So how fastidious is Newmark about maintaining it? He takes the car to his mechanic of 40 years every 3,000 miles for an oil change and to fix anything that needs attention.
Newmark says his 356 "is everything you could want," and that he finds errands to do just to go drive it. We would, too. The next-best thing is to watch the inspiring video below of the well-traveled Porsche.
Mysterious Porsche 911 Cabriolet spied, could be GTS
Mon, 10 Mar 2014While Porsche's designers can jokingly be accused of being some of the laziest in the industry due to the incremental changes to the 911's iconic design, no such charge can be leveled against the engineers and product planning folks. That's because it seems like each week arrives with news of a new variation of the marque's iconic rear-engined sports car. So, for this week, we've brought you images of what we think is the new 911 GTS Cabriolet, undergoing testing in a thawing winter wonderland.
Now, what is it that gives this 911 away, compared to standard convertible? Well, the big thing is the new offset, center-mounted exhausts. Borrowing a page from the last Volkswagen R32, these exhaust tips are unlike anything we've seen from Porsche. Only the GT3 wears center pipes, and unlike these spy photos, the twin pipes on the track-minded 911 are stacked neatly alongside each other. The other change spotted by our spies is the set of active-aerodynamic flaps in the front bumper, which can automatically channel air toward the brakes for increased cooling, or close off to reduce drag, as needed.
Those exhausts are a pretty big design detail, and so far as we can tell is the only differentiator between the other 911s in this car's posse. Our spies speculate that this could be a 911 Speedster, but point out that both the canvas roof and windshield remain unchanged - the rumored Speedster model would almost certainly feature a different roof assembly along with a steeply raked windshield.
Porsche close to fix for 911 GT3 engine fires
Sun, 16 Mar 2014It looks like 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 drivers might actually get to drive their cars again soon. Reports of fires affecting the track-ready Germans first began about a month ago. Then, a few days later, the automaker confirmed two of the five alleged blazes and said owners shouldn't drive their cars until further notice. Porsche then went so far as to offer to pick up the GT3s and transport them to the nearest dealer until the problem was identified and a fix was found. Finally, there appears to be a repair.
"We know the reason and the problem-solving measures. We're testing them," said Porsche CEO Matthias Müller to Bloomberg. The technical fix will be released to owners shortly.
The recall affects all 785 GT3s that have been sold so far, but there have been no reported injuries caused by the fires. When it first announced the safety campaign, Porsche said: "Internal studies to determine the cause of the engine damage have not been completed yet."
