1968 Porsche 912 Here is a rare opportunity to own a vintage Porsche. Drive away in this all stock, with 5 speed, 5 gauge dash. Engine is from a 1966 912. Original color was Sand/Beige. Runs very well, drives / handles very well. All suspension has been rebuilt. New brakes, new tires. Many new parts. I have owned since 2002. Previous owner was from Ohio, he was at least the second owner. This car has been rusty, and has undergone at least two significant restorations. It is very solid now, needs no body repairs, no rust as it is now. Mileage on odometer is 106,431 miles. (and I still drive it some, so the miles will increase.) The odometer works. Unknown miles on engine. The car has attended many car shows and has been to most of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix weekends during the past decade. Drive it away, it is ready to go. Most everything is complete and working, with a few minor exceptions. Much more details below. Videos and pictures at links below. Previous Owner restoration: During the late 1990’s he had significant body work completed. New rockers welded in, parts of the front pan were welded in. (not a complete pan replacement). The original floors are still in the car, with a few areas where there is a patch. The under body has other areas where he had patches welded in, it was done with good quality, but it is visible to the eye where the welding has taken place. The paint on the car looks very nice. Above body work is very good, smooth and nice looking. There is some filler on the body work, but appears that most of work was welded in and finished off with some filler. There are a few very small bubbles which have been there since I purchased it. Overall the body work and paint job is good, but getting old. There are minor chips around the gas filler, driver door, etc., no dents, no significant scratches in the paint. The inside of the door jambs, inside of the trunk and engine compartment were painted white. The engine had the top end rebuilt with new or refurbished heads. I don’t have receipts for this but it appears to be true. There is an electric fuel pump in the contraband box and a fuel pressure regulator in the engine compartment. The previous owner disabled the heating, I don’t know why, but I don’t drive it in cold weather so it was not a problem for me. I don’t know what all is missing regarding the heaters. There are no flex tubes under the car going from the heat exchanger to the body, the openings for the heater hoses in the engine compartment are blocked off.
During my ownership:
Not Working: Washers. Four way flashers. The temp gauge is very erratic. Sometimes it works, but this is why I installed the cyl head temp gauge. No clock – there is a non-working turbo boost pressure gauge instead. (No, there is not a turbo on the engine, and I don’t know why this gauge is there…) The horn button on steering wheel doesn’t work but there is an auxiliary button and it works. It is not the original horn. The reverse lights do not work.
Other general info: The interior is very nice and vintage looking. The car appears to have the original seats, headliner and door panels. The radio looks original, it is definitely old and working. I am not an expert on this car, but I think this is the original interior. The interior is old but very good condition. There is a crack in the dash. The driver seat bottom could use a new cushion. The back jump seat on the driver side has a burn mark, thanks to the dumb ass welder (me). The window crank on the driver side is missing the knob. The window vent on the passenger is complete and closed but doesn’t open. The driver window goes up and down with some difficulty. The wheels are painted silver, they aren’t pretty. I have the hubcaps which are in fair condition. All lights (except four way flashers) work. The rally fog lights work. I have the horn grills. The radio works. There are speaker grills in the doors, but no speakers. The speaker in the dash works. All dash gauges and knobs / switches work. The window seals, door rubber, trunk and hood rubber is old, but in fair condition, some better than others. The window rubber seems newer than the rest. Some rubber is missing on the passenger door. The pedal cluster could use new bushings. The shifter could use new bushings (I replaced one, and have the others but didn’t install them.) The rear tail lights have hair line cracks, the fronts are okay. The car has four aftermarket seat belts.
Other notes:
Overall: This is a very fun car to drive. I have driven the car about 500 miles per year, sometimes short hauls to work, other times long hauls on country roads. I have never had problems with it. The valves are adjusted, the timing is set, it runs good. I change the oil every year. (approx. 500 miles driven per year) Most things on the car that wear out have been replaced and only have minimal use. In the recent years I have just driven it and keep it tuned, no major work has been required.
The car is in Crafton PA, near Pittsburgh/Greentree/Carnegie.

Wandering the Chopard Heritage Tent at Rennsport Reunion V
Sun, Sep 27 2015Porsche has a ton to celebrate at its Rennsport Reunion V being held at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca this weekend. While some other luxury carmakers are hurting, Porsche sales are up. The 919 Hybrid won Le Mans in only its second year of competition, then came to America and won the World Endurance Championship race at Lone Star Le Mans in Austin, Texas the weekend before Rennsport Reunion. It just introduced its 2017 911 Carrera with a turbocharged engine for the first time ever for the line, and our initial impressions from the passenger's seat are that it's pretty good. And humor us while we have this out for the conspiracy theorists, but one can imagine some back-room celebrations since with Porsche Chairman Matthias Muller's promotion on Friday, September 26, Porsche completed its takeover of Volkswagen. Remember when that was a thing, when 16-year Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking tried to work the stock market to get control of VW but failed, so VW swallowed up Porsche instead? More concretely, around 50,000 people have come to the Reunion, and there are 1,400 Porsches parked in all the corrals. This year's event is devoted to Le Mans, with eight of the brand's 17 winners in attendance. We spent most of our time on the penultimate day in the Chopard Heritage Display, though, wandering through four rows of vintage machinery. The vehicles were even more instructive than they were beautiful - the Spyders, the RS editions, the Abarth-bodied racers, the company's first flat-eight race car, the 911 SCRS rally cars that led to the shows-topping 959, all help explain in metal what Porsche is referring to in its press releases and when it puts out special editions. They teach the history of personnel inside and outside of Porsche, too: like that Ferdinand Piech led the team that created the famous-on-sight 1968 917K at the same time as he was leading development of the Porsche 914; and that one of our own colleagues, the late Denise McCluggage, drove to victory in the 1957 Watkins Glen Grand Prix in a 1954 Porsche 550 Spyder 1500RS. There's a huge, captioned gallery above of just some of the wares parked in the Chopard Heritage Display. Have a look and a read, and the next time a Porsche rolls out a commemorative limited edition, one of these could be the car they're looking back at. Related Video:
Steve McQueen's last Porsche headed for auction
Tue, Jul 21 2015Most people might be happy ordering a new car off a lot, but Steve McQueen was most definitely not "most people." The Hollywood icon was known to custom-order his cars. What you see here is the last car McQueen would ever order, and now it's going up for auction. This is a 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera (known to aficionados as the 930) that the actor had done up in Slate Gray, with sunroof, dual mirrors, a limited-slip differential, black sports seats, and a switch on the dashboard to kill the taillights in case he was being pursued at night. Chassis number 9306800408 is powered by a 3.0-liter flat six that's turbocharged but (in a rare early configuration) not intercooled. The air-cooled engine features Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and drives 234 horsepower through a four-speed to the rear wheels. McQueen ordered the 930 new from Bob Smith Porsche in Hollywood. He died a few years later, never having special-ordered another new car – making this the last of its kind. "This car is rich in history," said his son Chad McQueen. "This is the last of the McQueen cars, really. That's known. That's real." And it can be yours, if you place the right bid. Mecum Auctions has it on consignment for its upcoming event during Monterey Car Week, with a portion of the proceeds to benefit Boys Republic – McQueen's own alma mater. STEVE MCQUEEN'S LAST SPECIAL-ORDER PORSCHE TO BE OFFERED AT MECUM MONTEREY 1976 Porsche Turbo 930 Personalized by The King of Cool to Cross the Block Aug. 15 WALWORTH, Wis. – July 14, 2015 – The very last car special-ordered by The King of Cool—the late mega movie star Steve McQueen—will be offered for sale at the Mecum Daytime Auction in Monterey this Aug. 13-15 at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel and Spa – Del Monte Golf Course. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the 1976 Porsche 930 Turbo Carrera will be donated to McQueen's alma mater, the reform school Boys Republic. "This car is rich in history," says McQueen's son Chad. "This is the last of the McQueen cars, really. That's known. That's real." McQueen's untimely death in 1980 at age 50 made this 1976 Porsche 930, chassis 9306800408, the very last of his special-order cars. His insatiable and notorious need for speed and his affinity for fine automobiles meant always having the best sets of wheels, and his Porsche 930 is no exception.
Recharge Wrap-up: Porsche Mission E charging for Tesla, net zero energy Toyota dealership
Wed, Oct 5 2016Porsche has confirmed that its Mission E charging infrastructure will also work with Tesla vehicles. The ultra-fast, 800-volt charging system will recharge the Mission E to 80 percent in about 15 minutes, and will also service new EVs from Volkswagen and Audi. Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Top Gear that development of the charging infrastructure "sounds easy but getting the details agreed is hard. We already have the clear technical concept. It can even work with Teslas, with an adapter." Dieter Zetsche, Head of Mercedes-Benz, also tells Top Gear that they are "in talks" with Porsche regarding charging infrastructure. Read more at Top Gear, or from Electrek. An Oregon Toyota dealership is set to be the world's first net zero energy automotive dealership. The newly constructed, LEED Platinum certified Toyota of Corvallis produces more energy than it consumes, for which it is expected to receive Net Zero Energy certification. The 34,800-square-foot building is equipped with enough solar panels to produce as much energy that the dealership will use, with excess being put back into the grid, which will help during hours of peak demand. Toyota Motor Sales regional manager Steve Haag calls Toyota of Corvallis, "a first-of-its-kind template for the auto dealership of the future." Read more from Toyota. Valeo has introduced a new 48-volt hybrid system. The 48V e4Sport, as it is called, uses a 48-volt battery, electric starter-generator, electric supercharger, and eRAD electric rear axle drive for all-wheel drive. It maximizes regenerative braking and stores that energy for increasing torque with the starter-generator, and increasing acceleration with the electric supercharger. The system also supports all-electric driving modes. Valeo says the system is applicable across all vehicle segments, and works with both gasoline and diesel engines. Read more at Green Car Congress. PSA Group has created its own mobility solutions brand, called Free2Move. Free2Move will handle programs like car sharing, connected services, corporate fleet services, and affordable leasing programs for Peugeot, Citroen, DS, and other PSA partners. "For the PSA Group, mobility means not only making and selling excellent cars, but also offering a full range of mobility solutions," says PSA Group VP of Mobility Services Gregoire Olivier.
