1965 Porsche 912 Very Rare and Desirable 3 Gauge Painted Dash 912! 

This 912 was undergoing restoration when the previous owner passed away. It needs very little sorting/finishing to be a strong driver. I have personally driven this 912 for a couple hundred miles since late January. I first showed the 912 at the Rolex 24 Hour in Daytona Beach. Even though I didn't have a Porsche Club reserved parking pass, the PCA Club waived me into their reserved parking area and made room for the 912 among other notable classics. I was absolutely flattered by the attention the 912 received and the amount of questions I had about the 912. This is definitely a 912 that gets a lot of attention and respect!

This car is the bridge between the 356 and 911 with the 356 engine and painted dash styling and 911 Chassis. Values continue to rise across the 912 spectrum; however, very few painted dash cars were built (likely less than 1,500 total) and remain today.

Resprayed in the Desirable Original Ruby Red Color. The windows and rubbers were removed during the respray. I would rate the paint quality as sufficient for a driver or local show. It polishes up very nicely but is not concours level.

The 912 was recently serviced by Kennedy Porsche in Daytona. The Original Solex Carbs (included in sale) need rebuilding so they were replaced with new Webers. At the same time, a new distributor was installed. The 912 runs very strong at this point. Engine starts right up, Transmission Shifts Smoothly, Drives Straight and Brakes firmly and straight! Please watch the video. I apologize for the quality. My GoPro is having issues so I had to use my iPhone. (you will note in the video I added the exhaust tail pipe since the pics were taken.)

This California 912 appears to have its Original Floor Pan! The Pan is solid and free of any significant rust issues.  The only issues I noticed was there may be some filler in the rocker panels and there's a small patch on the front pan. However, all things considered, this is about as solid a driver level 912 as you could hope to find.

All Original Dated Coded Rims, plus Spare Tire and Jack are Present!

Headlight and Taillights work! 

The Original Radio is Present although Disconnected.

Glass is all in great condition and the chrome and stainless trim present well!

The Interior is in nice condition and needs very little finishing. The dash mat was replaced but needs securing. The rear seats are serviceable and appear original. The front seats appear to have been recovered and are in nice condition. The seat back adjustment mechanisms will need attention as they don't always lock the seat back in place. Also, there are no seat belts included.

All things considered this is an excellent driver level 912 that not only is very original but can be enjoyed from day 1 and improved as time permits. With the increasing value of 912s, this is a great investment and the best of the 912s as it is a very early 3 Gauge, Painted Dash car!

Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.

Roger Rodas' Widow Suing Porsche Over Carrera GT Crash

Tue, May 13 2014

Investigations undertaken by local law enforcement may have vindicated Porsche from any wrongdoing in the crash that killed actor Paul Walker and racing driver Roger Rodas last year, but the latter's widow is apparently not convinced. According to emerging reports, Kristine Rodas has filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages from Porsche Cars North America. In her suit filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court, Rodas' attorney Mark Geragos reportedly disputes the findings of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which asserted that the vehicle was traveling at an unsafe speed of 90 miles per hour on city streets, identifying the speed as the cause of the accident. Instead the lawsuit claims that the vehicle was only going 55 mph and that the cause of the crash was improper equipment – namely a faulty right rear suspension and the lack of a crash cage and proper fuel tank. "The Carrera GT was unsafe for its intended use by reason of defects in its manufacture, design, testing, component and constituents, so that it would not safely serve its purpose," according to the specifics of the suit obtained by the Los Angeles Times. When reached for comment, Porsche Cars North America spokesman Nick Twork told Autoblog: We are very sorry for the Rodas and Walker family's loss. The crash was the subject of a detailed investigation by the proper authorities (L.A. County Sheriff and California Highway Patrol), and their investigation disproves the allegations in the lawsuit. The investigation found that driving at a high speed in a negligent manner caused the crash and concluded that there was no mechanical defect. The Carrera GT is known as a difficult car to drive. As the LA Times report points out, Jay Leno spun one at Talladega in 2005, and the following year, Porsche paid part of a multi-million-dollar settlement after two were killed on a track when their Carrera GT struck a slower-moving Ferrari. The Rodas lawsuit could very well point to that previous suit from San Diego Superior Court. Whether the court in LA will hand down a similar ruling remains to be seen.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS vs. Mercedes SLS AMG Black in battle of who can shred more rubber

Fri, 04 Apr 2014

We might be looking at the end of an era in European performance models. Mercedes-Benz is doing away with the SLS in favor of a rumored smaller and cheaper SLC, and Porsche has said that a new 911 GT2 isn't necessarily a sure thing, which means another 911 GT2 RS is even farther away. In its latest video, Evo's Jethro Bovingdon pits the ultimate versions of these German sports coupes against each other and finds two of the fastest cars the magazine has ever lapped around its track.
In one corner, there is the Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series that sits as the pinnacle of the company's halo model. It relies on the classic setup of a V8 mounted in front powering the rear wheels. On the other side, there is the 911 GT2 RS with a turbocharged flat-six mounted at the back, spinning the rear wheels. It was conceived to be Porsche's ultimate expression of a turbocharged 911, and while it's a few years old, Bovingdon shows that it's up to the task of racing a more modern rival.
Both of these rear-wheel-drive monsters are more than capable of some fantastically smoky power-slides, but they also show how great the last generation of sports cars was. Scroll down to check out the video.
