1969 Porsche 912 Base 1.6l on 2040-cars
Coatesville, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for auction is a matching numbers 1969 Porsche 912 Karmann Coupe. Vin number, 129022865 and engine number is 4096003. No COA, but I called Christine at Porsche of America and she said it was matching. This car just came from California and the suspension pan and floors are nearly perfect. Rockers are solid as well as jack points and torsion tube areas. The car was originally painted in desirable sand beige. At some point in time it had been painted chocolate brown. Now its been semi prepped for paint and as you can see from the photos, it has some more small spots to go. I really don't know much about the motor then what previous owner told me. He told me in 2011 he had it rebuilt with a big bore kit and installed weber carbs. He said it still needed a valve grind, and a battery to run.. He lost interest in the project and installed the motor to sell the project. For some reason installed in the engine compartment are two electric fuel pumps and a gas line lope on the mechanical fuel pump. I never tried to start it but I might this week. Has four nice fuchs and brakes seem to be in working order. I bought the car in a package deal and really wanted to keep both but I just cant pull it of so I have to part with it. Ebay will only let me list 24 photos and I have a ton taken already and will take and email any requested shots or areas. $500 non refundable paypal deposit required at the end of auction with the balance to be payed in cash, cashiers check or bank transfer. I will assist with the shipping. thanks and good luck.

Porsche Macan to get four-cylinder engines
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Porsche hasn't offered a four-cylinder engine since the 968 went out of production in 1995 - the better part of two decades ago. There'd been talk of a four-pot Boxster or an even smaller model to slot in below it, but while the latest intel indicates that Porsche is moving ahead with its four-cylinder plans, it's a different kind of vehicle that will get it first.
That, of course, would be the new Macan. Just revealed a few weeks ago at the LA Auto Show, the Macan crossover is being launched with a pair of twin-turbocharged V6 engines (a 3.0 with 340 horsepower and a 3.6 with 400 hp) and a six-cylinder turbodiesel with 258 hp. But smaller engines, according to emerging reports from Autocar and Auto Express, are on their way.
Word has it that Porsche is preparing a 2.0-liter turbo four with 280 horsepower and a diesel with the same displacement and cylinder count, engines that will power new entry-level Macan models that will slot in beneath the existing Macan S, Macan S Diesel and Macan Turbo. While the diesel is tipped to be ported over from the Volkswagen parts bin, the four-cylinder gasoline engine is said to be under development by Porsche itself, which could mean it will have a boxer layout.

McQueen's Porsche 917 from Le Mans races to the auction block
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Steve McQueen may have been the headline actor of the motorsport cult classic film Le Mans, but we all know who the real star was. Or rather, what: the Porsche 917. More specifically, it was the Gulf-liveried #22 - not McQueen's #21 - that won the race, making it one of the most iconic cars ever to drive across the silver screen. And now it's going up for auction.
This 1969 Porsche 917K, chassis 917-024, has a storied history both on and off the screen, even if it didn't win any (off-screen) races of note. This example was the first 917 to be campaigned in an actual race when Porsche handed it to Jo Siffert to drive against the Ferrari 312P and Ford GT40 at the Spa-Francorchamps 1000 Km race in 1969. Siffert found the early example too unstable and ultimately drove an earlier 908 to the checkered flag, but after 917-024 set the fastest time at the following year's Le Mans test day, Siffert acquired it outright.
The Swiss racing driver loaned the car to Solar Productions for use in the film, after which it returned to Siffert's collection until he was killed in an F1 exposition race at Brands Hatch in 1971. In a testament to how much he loved the car, it was 917-024 that lead the funeral procession. The car subsequently fell off the radar until it resurfaced in 2001 as one of the greatest barn finds of the new millennium. Now fully restored and resplendent in its original baby blue and orange, 917-024 is headed to the auction block at Pebble Beach where you can be sure that Gooding & Company will bring in a suitably high price for arguably the most iconic example of one of the most iconic Porsches of all time.
