For sale is a 1969 Porsche 912. I purchased car in Las Vegas in 2003.Car had been in storage for at least
6years. gas tank was cleaned prior to that storage. Car was taken apart & soda blasted. Car was painted in St. George Utah in 2007. Car was never rubbed out or color sanded ? Car in storage until Nov. 2012
in Mich. In Nov. 2012 car was taken to a German Auto service shop in Grand Rapids for inspection & repair. Car ran
rough Solexes could not be adjusted. A new set of Webers were installed. Valves were adjusted, plugs, points, oil were changed. ball joint was changed per suggestion as were the front wheel bearings. Car runs very strong. Not certain, but I was told that it did have a big bore kit. This car runs much stronger than the 912 I owned previously.
Car needs tlc and trim put on. I have most parts to finish. Seats are installed but appear loose. It came with RS door panels, but the originals come with car as do the pockets. car has original radio, no back seats. it is equipped with a gas heater but its not hooked up. Doors need to be adjusted, door locks work. The electrics need hook up. lights, horn, wipers, turn signals. car also needs healiner, which has hole above passenger visor.
After moving back to mich. I got ill. I dont have any energy to finish. Thanks for reading. If you need more info...Ask
If you need to speak to me I will include a phone# in response. And of course potential buyers can inspect personally.
please note that the Fuch wheels are not included. they are too wide to fit under the fenders.
thanks for looking.

Vintage 911 sacrificed in the name of fashion
Fri, Jul 31 2015People routinely suffer in the name of looking good, whether through a pair of uncomfortable, stylish shoes or a nice shirt that doesn't breathe in the summer heat. Rarely is a vintage sports car the recipient of this sartorial pain, though. In a bizarre, short video from the fashion label Rag & Bone, an old Porsche 911 is the one taking all of the damage in the name of being chic. And it's really painful to watch. Give this video a few seconds to get going because it starts very weird (fashion!). Black smoke billows up through a hole in a harshly lit white room, and a woman keeps switching outfits. If the attempt at being artsy isn't painful enough, things get really traumatic for Porsche fans once the 911 appears on screen. Seeing a classic car get destroyed hasn't been this harrowing since the government publicly destroyed an illegally imported, classic Mini last winter. Thankfully, this 911 was reportedly just a shell, according to Jalopnik. Although even if that's the case, the body looks to be in great shape, and from the tiny glimpse through the windows, the interior even looks largely intact. This coupe might have been a pretty good restoration candidate if not for the massive hunk of concrete crashing through the roof to make a fashion video.
Porsche finally moving ahead with flat four engine
Sun, 23 Mar 2014When Porsche released the first Boxster in 1996 and the first Cayman in 2005, the idea was to create an entry-level model for the German automaker's sports car range. The latest iterations of both closely related models, however, have begun to encroach dangerously on the 911's territory, particularly in their newest GTS specifications. That could be about to change, however, with the introduction of a four-cylinder engine for the compact mid-engined coupe and roadster.
According to Automotive News, Porsche is finally preparing to launch a new boxer four engine in the Boxster and Cayman, following years of speculation. The engine would be based on the same architecture as the company's famous flat six, but with two fewer cylinders to cut weight. Don't expect it to cut much in the way of performance, however: Porsche chief Matthias Muller indicates that the new engine could produce as much as 395 horsepower - significantly more than even the 340hp flat six in the Cayman GTS, suggesting that the engine could even find its way into the 911 as well.
It's no more clear which markets would get the four-cylinder engine, either. But wherever it is offered and in whichever form, it wouldn't be the first time we'd see a Porsche with a four-pot engine. Not by a long shot. Both the classic 912 and 356 were powered by boxer fours, as was the 914 - not to mention the 718 pictured above and the iconic 550 Spyder. The front-engined 924, 944 and 968 packed inline-four engines, but the last of those were discontinued in the 1990s. The prospect of a four-cylinder Boxster/Cayman has been rumored for many years now, most recently joined by the possibility of a four-pot Macan as well.
Race Recap: 2013 Petit Le Mans draws curtain on the ALMS [spoilers]
