Madison, Connecticut, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Porsche
Drive Type: Rear
Model: 912
Mileage: 0
Trim: Black
This Car has engine #741281, trans #160389 and color 6402 Ruby Red. The car was built 9/3/1965 These are matching numbers as verified by Porsche and a COA will go with the car. This car was owned by a body shop owner as a long term restoration project. It has not been touched for some years.
The engine was split and inspected and found to be good. I can tell you that it spins smoothly. The bores look good in my opinion. One piston was partially installed when I came to terms to purchase and all work was stopped. I would assume the engine will be torn down by the next owner. The remaining pistons, push rods,etc are present..The transmission is a 902 four speed. The brakes are on the car and need to be overhauled. There is a distributor, fuel pump, clutch and pedal assembly. I believe there is only one wheel with the proper date code.
Please study the photos of the body. There are some gaps between removed rust and replaced metal primarily around the jack spurs on the driver's side. It might have been caused by less than perfect welding heat. The front pan has been replaced. It looks very good but a battery bracket needs to be sourced. The floors and longitudals appear to be original. The fenders are for two hole horn grills. The original four hole grills are included and fitting them to these fenders is done regularly by different methods. Please note that there are paint blisters on the drivers door and roof as well as some slight rust bubbling around door latch areas. Once these areas are addressed it will be up to the owner to repaint these areas or the entire car. That being said, this car is very straight and the paint is very good. The doors and fenders are hung loosely and in no way represent final panel fit.
The pictures show loose parts. Not shown is the chrome/brass window frame for the passenger side. Besides the frame and some minor "orphans" like one SWB parking light assembly, exterior door handle and one open window winder, if it is not shown it does not go with the car. There are some boxes of stuff but there are no rear bumpers, seats, quarter windows or other obvious missing parts.
I have included as many pictures as allowed. Please contact me for any info or extra pictures. My phone # is 203 675 1343. The car can be viewed in Madison, Ct. before auction's end. This car is local pick up only;just way too much stuff to box and ship. This car comes with a notarized bill of sale only.
This 912 has the features of the first produced and is very rare.

Porsche 356 Outlaw is the other Continental
Wed, 25 Jun 2014In Porsche parlance, 'outlaw' basically means 'hot rod,' and that definition can vary from person to person. For Jack Griffin and his 1955 Porsche 356 Continental, it means taking a great car to start with and reworking it to become a classic coupe that fits its driver perfectly. The latest video from Petrolicious highlights Griffin's 356 and all of the personalization he has in the beautiful ride.
Griffin acquired this 356 in 1994, but it came in rough shape. That made it the perfect canvas to transform the coupe into the Porsche of his dreams. On the outside, only things like the hood-mounted fuel filler, louvered decklid and Fuchs wheels give it away as something special, but underneath, it is modernized to be a faster, more robust car. Griffin considers it "a piece of art on wheels."
Hearing the Continental name associated with Griffin's Porsche might be throwing you, since it's normally more associated with Lincoln, but Griffin tells the whole story of what makes it so special on his '55 in the video. Scroll down to get an automotive history lesson and check out this fantastic 356 hot rod.
Porsche rolls out new 919 Hybrid at racing gala
Mon, 16 Dec 2013That Porsche is returning to Le Mans next year with a top-tier LMP1 entry is no news - we've known that for some time. We've even seen pictures of the car in question undergoing testing at various racetracks across Europe, been told who'll be driving it and given some basic parameters of what will make it go. We just haven't known what to call it, but now we do.
In detailing its full endurance racing program for next year at its Night of Champions in Weissach, Porsche has revealed that its new LMP1 racecar will be called the 919 Hybrid. So, something like the 918 Spyder, only one faster. With a four-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motors, the 919 Hybrid will be taking on the top class at Le Mans next year, with a compelling roster of drivers on the docket: along with Mark Webber, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani, Porsche has assigned its works driver Marc Lieb and F1 test driver Brendon Hartley to the effort. But that's not all Porsche has in store.
The factory is also supporting teams that will campaign the 911 RSR in the FIA World Endurance Championship as well as the United SportsCar Championship here in the US, taking Porsche off the pit wall and right in the race seat for next year as part of a comprehensive new racing program, details of which you can read in the press release below.
Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits
Wed, 15 May 2013The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
