I am re-listing this car. The person who selected the buy it now option last Sunday never contacted me or provided any deposit even after I wrote him.


I have owned this car for 30 years. During all the years I used this car it took me during the week to work, got me countless dates on the weekends and transported me on many vacations trips all over California, Arizona and Nevada. It never let me down. It is the most fun to drive car I have owned. The car has always been stored in a garage in California since I have owned it. I am retiring, need space in my garage and it is now time for someone else to enjoy it. This is a 1969 912, the most desirable model year. It is distinguished from the other 912's because it was the last year they made these and has the longer wheel base, flared rear fenders and more modern interior. 


This car was my daily driver form 1983-2001. After that it sat in my garage. Every couple of weeks I would start it up and drive it around the block until about 3 years ago. The battery is now dead, the brakes frozen and the carburetor needs to be cleaned in order to start it. I semi restored the car in 1985. All the trim was removed, the bumpers dismantled and the car painted by Bob's Paint and Body in Orange, California. Bobs was featured in a Porsche magazine centerfold (not my car) and that is why I had him do the work. The color was changed from Orange to Guards Red (027)  I had a fiber glass "S" style bumper installed. I also have the original steel bumper with the trim (see picture). In the late 1990s I had the engine completely rebuilt by Cooper Automotive in Huntington Beach California. Cooper was the most respected 912 mechanic in the United States. The wheels are reproduction Fuchs. The ones on one side are a different brand than the other. They are slightly oversized for the car. I had the inside lip of the fenders bent upward to keep the tires from hitting the fenders when I went over large bumps. While backing out of a parking space another car was also backing out in reverse and we did not see each other and "touched" bumpers. The rear bumpers need to be bent up a little bit. The driver side door pocket is out. I have a replacement one (see pictures). Both door locking mechanisms need adjustment as well as the drivers side window regulator. The plastic piece that retains the passenger door handle has a small crack. There is a small stress crack on the inside of the drivers door you may want to repair. There is one small rust spot on the front inside of the trunk (front of car). The drivers seat naugahyde has a tear. The dash has a crack. You can see it in the picture. The car is available for your inspection by you or your mechanic in Redondo Beach, California. The white stuff on the hood is pieces of my acoustic garage ceiling that have fallen down. 


These cars (particularly 1969 912) are very rare and rapidly appreciating in value. Here is your chance to get one and restore it the way you want to. To often these cars are restored incorrectly, sold at a premium and the new owner either has to live with it or pay to have it restored again properly, essentially paying for the car twice. Due to the age of the car, it is exempt from smog certification in California.


This vehicle is sold where is, as is. I have the California Ownership Certificate (Pink Slip).

Jay Leno's Dodge Challenger raises $585k for USO in Scottsdale

Mon, Jan 19 2015

Of all the metal moved in Scottsdale, AZ, this holiday weekend, the one you see here was hardly the most expensive. But it's noteworthy for another reason: despite being a relatively humble, second-hand 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, raised an impressive $565,625. That's because, first of all, it belonged to Jay Leno, and secondly because the proceeds were going to the USO. Leno donated the modern muscle car from his collection to benefit our men and women in uniform, and was on hand to present the car on stage at the Gooding & Company auction, along with USO president J.D. Crouch II and former Army chief of staff General George W. Casey, Jr. After frenzied and patriotic bidding, the gavel ultimately dropped at $360,000, accompanied by over $200,000 in additional contributions, bringing the total amount donated to the USO to over half a million. Commendable though it was, of course the Challenger didn't garner the highest bids at the auction. A 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider sold for $7.7 million and a 1968 Ferrari 330 GTS fetched $2.4 million. A rare 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Series I Coupe Aerodinamico sold for over $4,070,000 – which, according to Sports Car Market, is the most ever paid at auction for a 400 Superamerica. And a 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6 also sold for a record $1.98 million.

Steve McQueen's last Porsche headed for auction

Tue, Jul 21 2015

Most people might be happy ordering a new car off a lot, but Steve McQueen was most definitely not "most people." The Hollywood icon was known to custom-order his cars. What you see here is the last car McQueen would ever order, and now it's going up for auction. This is a 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera (known to aficionados as the 930) that the actor had done up in Slate Gray, with sunroof, dual mirrors, a limited-slip differential, black sports seats, and a switch on the dashboard to kill the taillights in case he was being pursued at night. Chassis number 9306800408 is powered by a 3.0-liter flat six that's turbocharged but (in a rare early configuration) not intercooled. The air-cooled engine features Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and drives 234 horsepower through a four-speed to the rear wheels. McQueen ordered the 930 new from Bob Smith Porsche in Hollywood. He died a few years later, never having special-ordered another new car – making this the last of its kind. "This car is rich in history," said his son Chad McQueen. "This is the last of the McQueen cars, really. That's known. That's real." And it can be yours, if you place the right bid. Mecum Auctions has it on consignment for its upcoming event during Monterey Car Week, with a portion of the proceeds to benefit Boys Republic – McQueen's own alma mater. STEVE MCQUEEN'S LAST SPECIAL-ORDER PORSCHE TO BE OFFERED AT MECUM MONTEREY 1976 Porsche Turbo 930 Personalized by The King of Cool to Cross the Block Aug. 15 WALWORTH, Wis. – July 14, 2015 – The very last car special-ordered by The King of Cool—the late mega movie star Steve McQueen—will be offered for sale at the Mecum Daytime Auction in Monterey this Aug. 13-15 at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel and Spa – Del Monte Golf Course. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the 1976 Porsche 930 Turbo Carrera will be donated to McQueen's alma mater, the reform school Boys Republic. "This car is rich in history," says McQueen's son Chad. "This is the last of the McQueen cars, really. That's known. That's real." McQueen's untimely death in 1980 at age 50 made this 1976 Porsche 930, chassis 9306800408, the very last of his special-order cars. His insatiable and notorious need for speed and his affinity for fine automobiles meant always having the best sets of wheels, and his Porsche 930 is no exception.

Audi welcomes Porsche back to Le Mans like any sibling would

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Ah, sibling rivalry. It really is a beautiful thing. It's even more beautiful when said siblings are automakers with very, very well-known racing histories. That's how you get videos like this, which is Audi's way of welcoming Porsche back to the top flight of Le Mans racing.
Yes, Audi has taken its R18 E-Tron Quattro back onto public roads, wowing schoolboys and scaring farmers (who appear to be riding classic Porsche tractors), as it travels from Ingolstadt to Zuffenhausen, just to taunt its corporate frenemy.
Take a look below for a video to see just what that teasing looks like.
