1966 Porsche 912. Immaculate condition. Only 61k miles. I am only the third owner. The original owner had it garaged for over 20 years. The second owner did most of the restoration and improvements, and I have owned it for the past 13 years. It has always been garaged and covered. The body is in perfect shape. Absolutely no rust, dents, or major dings. The paint is in beautiful condition (the 2nd owner had it repainted).

The interior is also in beautiful condition. The carpet, upholstery, and headliner, were all replaced and are in great condition. The seats are high backs from a 1970s 911, but were re-upholstered to match. I added a Sony 50w x 4 detachable face cd deck with 4 Infinity speakers. It sounds great. I also added a Clifford alarm. All gauges are in working order (although I think the speedometer is a little fast and not sure how totally accurate the odometer is/was). The weather-striping was replaced and is also in excellent condition. All windows, wind-wings, door handles, seat adjustments, lamps, lights, etc. are all in good working order.

The engine is solid and strong. The 2nd owner added the dual weber carbs and the MSD electronic ignition. It is an original 5 speed, and the clutch and transmission are in good order and have been recently maintained. The brakes, shocks, ball-joints, and suspension have also been recently maintained. I have also added a trickle charger for the battery, because unfortunately, i haven't been driving it enough (hence the sale). All work during my past 13 years of ownership have been handled by Dieters in San Diego. They are the best in town (www.dieters.com). I have a lot of the documentation and records even dating back to the original owner in the 1960's, including the original Owner's Manual.

It 's not perfect, but all-in-all, it's in amazing shape for a 48 year-old car. Literally, every time I drive it, I get compliments, thumbs-ups, smiles, and people coming over to look and ask questions. It's really a great car.

I am very sorry to see it go, but a change in family life dynamics means that it has to go. Please e-mail me directly at 1966porsche912@gmail.com to see more pictures and videos, or come by in person to visit.

Please see attached terms and conditions. Thanks.

Motor Trend hits Laguna Seca with Ferrari F12, Chevy Corvette, Porsche 911

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

According to the crew at Motor Trend, we should think of the video below "as an addendum to Best Driver's Car," a test the magazine put together that elevated the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S above all others in the category of driving joy. It seems the brand-new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray wasn't able to take part in the magazine's official test, and neither was the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.
And so Motor Trend did the only logical thing: It procured both the 'Vette and Prancing Horse as soon as it could, and put them both on track with the Driver's Car-winning 911. Of course, these cars don't actually compete against each other - the Ferrari offers up 731 horsepower and wears an asking price of $434,144 as tested, which means you could buy four loaded Corvettes for the price of one F12, and still have money left for a garage to store them in - but that's not the point of this particular test.
The point of this test isn't to listen to the beautiful sounds coming from the Porsche's flat-six-cylinder, the Corvette's pushrod V8 or the Ferrari's luscious V12, either, but the video below is worth watching for those three reasons alone. You know what to do.

Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911 with some excellent pics

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

The Porsche 911 is one of the most iconic sports cars of all time, and to celebrate the car's first 50 years, Porsche has released a stunning set of photos showing how far the 911 has come from the original back in 1963 to its current 991 generation. Unlike the recent 60-year photo spread that Chevrolet put together for the Corvette, though, Porsche's gallery only shows the original 911 and the current car.
Each time the 911 is redesigned, the car's front fenders, roofline and the shape of the side windows are key focal points. Even some of the interior cues have remained the same over the years, including the positioning of the ignition key on the left of the steering column and the five-gauge instrument cluster layout.
Scroll down for Porsche's press release breaking down the seven generations of the 911, and be sure to check out our gallery with plenty of high-res pics for you to download as a desktop wallpaper. In fact, we're providing these at 1920-pixels-wide instead of our usual 1280 wide. Enjoy!

Porsche sees error of ways, next 911 GT3 to offer manual transmission

Fri, Mar 4 2016

Consider this Porsche's mea culpa. After creating an uproar over selling a new 911 GT3 without a manual transmission, the automaker introduced the limited-edition, manual-equipped 911 R in Geneva. That car is just a stopgap, though. It's meant to hold 911 drivers over until the next GT3 arrives with the same six-speed manual transmission. Yes, the next-gen GT3 will get an old-fashioned six-speed manual, according to a new report from Autocar (but the GT3 RS will still be PDK-only). In fact, the same report claims Porsche will make sure that the 911 GT3 remains the car for the brand's most ardent purists. While the rest of the Porsche range moves to turbocharged engines, the GT3 will stick to its naturally aspirated guns. That comes direct from the big boss behind the GT3, Andreas Preuninger, who told the magazine this would be the case "for the foreseeable future." According to Preuninger, the only member of Porsche's GT line that will go turbocharged is the one that's been that way all along – the GT2 and GT2 RS, which we'll see next year. And yes, Preuninger's statement about limited turbocharging applies to the Cayman GT4, too, even though the model that high-performer is based on has moved to a line of turbocharged engines. When the next GT4 arrives, it'll be with a flat-six in the middle. Related Video:
