1966 Porsche 912 in Guards Red over Black

VIN 451918

This 1966 SWB 3-guage dash 912 began life Bahama Yellow to later be resprayed in Guards Red. The paint was done in the late 80s and still maintains a nice shiny finish with expected dings and imperfections for the age. Interior was also redone at the time including front seat and jump seat upholstery, firewall panel, carpet, sun visors and carpet. The interior presents itself well with no rips or tears in the vinyl upholstery.

Despite the number of years elapsed, the car appears to have been driven less than 20,000 miles since the cosmetic work. The odometer reads about 88,000 miles now (and counting). I have an extensive set of service receipts that begin in 1983 at about 28,000 miles and progressively accrue miles to the current figure without odometer rollover indicated which works out to about 2,000 miles per year over that 30 year period.

The 912 was a CA car serviced by Charlie's Foreign Car in Encinitas until bought and driven to NC in 1987. The body is straight with minimal rust showing at base of front windshield gasket. Floor pans appear original and are excellent along with front suspension pan. New gas tank from Performance Porsche in 2005. Minor rust was properly repaired in the smuggler's box two years ago with a very small spot below battery treated Naval Jelly with no change since. Overall it's a terrific example of a fundamentally rust free 912.

An extensive mechanical overhaul was completed in 2010 with an estimated 3000 miles driven since. This was a no expense spared rebuild of the engine and 5-speed transmission with receipts totaling about $11K. Work was completed by a reputable BMW and Porsche restoration shop in NC. New jugs, pistons, crank bearings, rod bearings, crank pulley, etc. New voltage regulator and Bosch blue coil. 5-Speed received new sync rings, 1/2, 3/4 sliders, rear bearing, gasket/seal kit, shift arm and shifter bushings. A CSP high performance oil cooler was installed at an additional cost of $858. Exhaust is through a $414 "Quiet Street" setup from Classic and Speed Parts. 40 IDF Weber carburetors bought new for the car in 2004 were rebuilt. Gauges recently calibrated. Receipts for all work will be included with sale. The folder of receipts is about 1" thick and dates back to 1982.

Recent oil and filter change with Brad Penn 20W50. Rear suspension bushings were just replaced with high quality Elephant Racing parts. Since photos, new Falken Ziex 912 tires have been installed and I lightly polished the wheel aluminum by hand.

This 912 is a beautiful, well sorted example of a very high driver quality car. More pics are available upon request. $500 non refundable Paypal deposit due at end of auction with pickup within 10 days. Local inspection is welcome and encouraged

VW, Mobileye to bring new automated tech to series production

Wed, Mar 20 2024

Volkswagen will bring new automated driving technologies to series production as it deepens its partnership with Mobileye in automotive driving technologies, Europe's biggest carmaker said on Wednesday. Israeli automotive tech company Mobileye will provide driving assistance software based on its SuperVision and Chauffeur platforms to VW's luxury brands such as Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini and Porsche. The technologies, which later will be integrated by VW's software unit Cariad, include assistance systems for highway and urban driving, such as automated overtaking on multilane highways, automatic stopping at red lights and stop signs, and support in intersections and roundabouts. "New automated driving functions will significantly boost convenience and safety," VW Chief Executive Oliver Blume said. Mobileye is also set to supply further automated driving software to Volkswagen's commercial vehicles unit. In future, the German carmaker aims to rely on its own complete in-house software system.

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.

Porsche Museum highlights history of the 911 RSR

Sat, 12 Jan 2013

Porsche has amassed quite an impressive trophy case in just about every racing series it has ever entered, and one of its most dominant machines has to be the 911 RSR from the 1970s. Taking part in various GT-class competitions, the 911 RSR managed to take home three international and seven German victories in 1973, its very first year of competition.
Not one to downplay its racing successes, Porsche has released an informative video detailing the 911 RSR's impressive heritage. The 1973 RSR model owned by the Porsche Museum is detailed beautifully on video, and we have to say it looks absolutely stunning in its vintage Martini Racing livery.
Have a look at the video below for some historic racing action, along with static shots of one of our favorite Porsche models ever created.
