1967 Porsche 912 Coupe Bahama Yellow

This is a fantastic 912 Coupe, I purchased this 912 through a friend of the owner, who was selling due to illness, he'd apparently owned the Bahama Yellow 912 since the early 1970s and had kept the car in Southern California where he had a Porsche based business. This is an incredible car, just take your time to go through the Photobucket album and study the many pictures there. It is a true time capsule of Porsche engineering, the body shell is absolutely straight and lovely, all gaps are excellent, I can find no damage nor rust anywhere,  it is appointed with some lovely period accessories which are rare and valuable in their own right.
This car represents what I believe to be one of the finest 912 cars on the market, it ticks all of the right boxes, its rust free,its a great color "Bahama Yellow"  it retains its correct and original California issued black license plates front and rear, has some super rare factory parts, a rear seat delete luggage compartment, stainless steel trim above the exhaust on the lower rear valence, 4 spectacular original anodized 4 1/2 x 15" Fuchs wheels from a 1967 911S, a 1967 911S wood rim steering wheel, Cibie Rally Oscar lamps and a set of through the grille fog lights.

The body shell is superb, its appears all original apart from one repaint from the 1980s which was done to a very high standard, such is the age of the paint that it looks original, the gaps are superb and the doors clunk shut like no other 911 bodied car I've had in 10 years, the doors are incredible and have the lovely metal ring to them that you instantly notice, they shut easily and have perfect door gaps.
The trunk and engine lid too are straight and perfect and reflect the love and care that has been given to this car all the way through its life, when I bought it the 912 had just been taken out of ;long term storage due to the owners illness, the motor had been rebuilt at some stage with a big bore 1750cc kit and ws being detailed and refitted by a very competent and knowledgeable restorer, he had also "woken the 912 up" replacing the clutch and rebuilding the carbs and brakes.  At the same time all four tires were replaced with new and the black paint on the original anodized Fuchs wheels  was touched up.
The interior is a lesson in originality, the seats , rubber mats and perimeter carpets are like stepping back in time, they are superb, the 912 even retains its original Blaupunkt radio. The dash top speaker area is the only part showing any significant wear, it has a couple of small tears in the vinyl. The headlines, rear seat delete and the period seat belts are fantastic, it reminds you of a museum quality car.

The motor is very responsive and tight, it has benefitted from a rebuild with a big bore kit ad has lots of power and makes no smoke, the clutch is new and the motor compartment is very nicely detailed. The transmission shifts without problems both up and down the gate, the four speed 901 box works flawlessly.

The 912 is rapidly gaining on value, and rightly so, it is now seen properly as not a sub model to the 911 but a model all on its own, it has long been seen as a better handling act than its 6 cylinder brother and prices are rising. It is a great concept and the 356 SC motor propels it along nicely. This is a superb car and has to represent a blue chip investment today.


The 912 is being sold through my dealership, I am a licensed California car dealer therefore all sales to California residents are subject to CA Taxes and DMV fees, out of state buyers can avoid CA taxes by using a bonded and insured trucking company, overseas buyers, I have been working with a shipper for over 10 years and can offer competitive rates to all overseas destinations.

Shanghai debuts, Jeep's new Rubicon anniversary rigs | Autoblog Podcast # 777

Fri, Apr 21 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a recap of the past week's worldwide debuts along with some updates from their recent adventures. They start off discussing the rumors of a new Ford Mustang Raptor and what that means in the context of previous rumors of a Corvette SUV. Then it's time to talk Shanghai, where Polestar, Buick, Volkswagen, Porsche and Lincoln all had big reveals. After that, they segue to Byron's trip to Moab for the 2023 Easter Jeep Safari preview where he drove the AEV Level II Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 20th Anniversary Edition. From there, they reminisce about Mustangs in a nod to the nameplate's 59th anniversary, after which they stick to the theme with a sub-$15,000 RWD used-car discussion. Is there anything worth buying in this price bracket in today's economy?

Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller throws hat back in ring for VW CEO job

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Toward the end of February it got leaked that Porsche CEO Matthias Muller was being promoted to Volkswagen's supervisory board. Muller's credentials and his success over 36 years at the VW Group have, for observers, put his name in the pool of potential candidates to succeed current group CEO Martin Winterkorn when Winterkorn retires in two years. But the 61-year-old Muller told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung earlier in February, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen," and the statement was taken to mean he wasn't considering the job. Muller now says the quote was misunderstood. In a report in Automotive News, the newly minted board member says he was commenting on what it would mean for the supervisory board and the Group if they nominated a 63-year-old to replace a 69-year-old - that it wouldn't result in a "generation change." However, if that's what they choose to do, Muller feels great: "I stand ready to take over any assignment," he said. Muller's name re-enters the candidacy pool, but we still have no idea who leads the running for the role and Winterkorn isn't saying a word. It could be three years before we know: Winterkorn's contract concludes at the end of next year but there is speculation he'll re-up for two years to see out the end of the Strategy 2018 initiative.

Porsche Boxster spied in the buff

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Porsche is preparing a significant update to its entry level Boxster convertible, and while visually this might appear to be a simple refresh, the changes are more than skin deep. Following a number of rumors, Porsche will finally make the jump to turbocharged engines on a broad scale, and it starts with this new Boxster. According to our spies, it's the larger side intakes featured on this prototype that give away its smaller, force-induced flat-four engine. The dual exhaust pipes, meanwhile, say Boxster S to us, rather than just the basic model. Beyond the mechanical changes, this marks the first time we've seen the new Boxster completely free of camouflage. We can see that Porsche's stylists – famous for revolutionary designs slowly tweaking the same style for decads on end – adjusted the look of the front and rear fascias. We like the more aggressively canted headlights, which get the same four-pointed LEDs as its big brother, the 911. The slimmer taillights are a minor improvement on the inoffensive lamps fitted to the current car, and serve to take some attention off the all-plastic exhaust surround, which is much more simply styled than the current car's. It should also be noted that the aesthetics featured on the new Boxster are very, very likely to be transferred directly onto the new Cayman. You can check out our full gallery of shots of the all-new, totally undisguised Boxster in the gallery up top. Expect to see the new roadster around this time next year, with a debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show likely. Related Video:
