Omaha, Nebraska, United States
1968 Porsche 912 Coupe Background: The Porsche 912 was a sports car that was manufactured by a company by the name of Porsche between the years of 1965 and 1969. It was built as an entry level vehicle for those who craved a 911, but could not afford the cost. The 912 is a very well balanced vehicle, and would be considered a nimble-handling compact performance four-seat vehicle. The 912's flat four cylinder engine made 90 horsepower at 5800 rpm, and was capable of delivering 30 miles per gallon. This was due to the low weight, and low drag of the vehicle. Making the 912 the best of both worlds in terms of sports cars, the stylish look of a 911 and the gas mileage of modern day Prius. At one time the 912 grew so popular that it was able to out sell its counterpart, the 911!
The 912 is a great weekend cruising vehicle, it may not have a lot of power but it sure will capture the envy of all your neighbors! This 912 spent almost its entirelife in the southweastern part of the United States, and has been residing in Arizona since 1991 when the last owner purchased the car. It is a very, very solid car with all original sheet metal floor pans. The car was originally order in Tangerine (6809) with Black Leatherette interior. However, it was repainted in the 90's to the black that you see before you. This is a matching numbers car, and the mileage is actual at 62K. This 912 also features very rare option of air conditioning. Other options that were ordered at the time of purchase would be: Tinted Glass All Around, Bumper Horns-F/R, Antenna, 'Koni' Shock Absorbers, Ventilated Chrome Wheels, and Semperit Tires (165/15). However, the Chrome Wheels were switched to a factory set of Fuch wheels some time in the past. Recent work to the vehicle includes an engine rebuild, and a complete carb rebuild.

Porsche 5 Series fighter may be electric
Wed, May 6 2015We know that Porsche is developing a seventh model range for its lineup thanks to the March announcement from company boss Matthias Muller. The actual identity of this future vehicle remains a mystery, though. Autocar is coming down firmly on the side of the smaller Panamera, codenamed the Pajun, and speculates the new entry might be available in battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell versions based on recent patent filings. Porsche is famous for sticking with the rear-engine layout on the 911 for decades, even as the company moves the powertrain forward in other models. According to Autocar, the EV version of the Pajun might mark a return to these roots. The German brand is reportedly preparing a modified version of Volkswagen Group's MSB platform for the new vehicle. Called eMSB, the setup puts the batteries and electric motors at the back, and each rear wheel would receive power separately to allow for torque vectoring. The system is estimated to generate 420 horsepower, which is on par with the all-wheel-drive Tesla Model S 85D. The fuel cell Pajun would join the lineup later. The Pajun is rumored to take on the likes of the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but any luxury EV of that size must count the Tesla Model S as a competitor, too. According to Autocar, the styling takes cues from the Panamera Sport Turismo concept (pictured above) and could launch around 2018. Rumors of Porsche's Tesla-fighter were swirling for months before Muller's announcement, and talk of the Pajun has gone on even longer. Previous reports have suggested the possibility of a 300-mile range and an all-wheel-drive layout with 600 hp. While the actual design has remained ambiguous beyond the potential link to the Panamera, the model was possibly spied last year at the Porsche Design Tower in Florida.
Porsche 911 driven by McQueen on Le Mans set for auction
Mon, Oct 19 2015Another piece of Porsche memorabilia from the movie Le Mans is going up for auction with Christie's at The Exceptional Sale on Nov. 4 in Paris. This is a 1971 911 T that Steve McQueen used as his personal car during filming - it is not the 1970 911 S seen in the movie's opening sequence. It is one of the Porsches provided by two-time Le Mans winner and stunt driving double Jo Siffert. McQueen's production company CBS Solar Films bought the 911 T from Siffert, one of four 911s CBS Solar bought from the Swiss driver for use in and during filming. McQueen gifted the car to co-star and leading lady Elga Andersen. When she died in 1994 she willed it to her best friend, and the friend sold it to the current owner, who put it up for sale. None of them put the car to much use, as it has only 28,637 miles on the odometer, which is fewer than 55 miles per month for the last 44 years. The pre-sale estimate for this car is $284,000 to $397,000. By comparison, the 911 S used in the movie's opening sequence sold at auction in 2011 at Monterey for $1,375,000. In addition to being a relative bargain in that case, it comes with a scan of the original contract from Siffert to Anderson giving her the car, and a picture of McQueen and his son Chad with the coupe.
