1976 Porsche 912e In Excellent Cond!! 1 Of 2092 Made; 1 Of 10 In Talbot Yellow on 2040-cars
Charlottesville, Virginia, United States
FOR SALE: 1976 Porsche 912E in Talbot Yellow on Brown/Orange Interior in EXCELLENT condition For sale is this wonderful 1976 Porsche 912E. It is a lovely car in Talbot Yellow (1 of only 10 Talbot Yellow 912's ever registered http://www.912registry.org/restore/rare912colors.htm ) over a brown/ orange interior. This car is very "period" and has only one option that I can see: air conditioning. No sunroof. No tinted windows. No Fuchs. No passnger side mirrior. Just a simple yellow 911 with a 4 cylinder motor... It's called a 912E, has a unique place in Porsche history and offers a very pure driving experience. Many of you know the history of the 912E. It was made in the model year 1976 only and was an interim offering to bridge between the outgoing 914 and the 924 which was not finished and ready for production. Only 2092 examples of the 912E were made and this is number 2033 (so late in the run). Porsche needed an "entry level" and fuel efficient model in addition to the 911 and so the 912E was born. http://www.porsche912e.com/docs/about.html Unlike the 912 of the late 1960's which used the 356 motor and had a different rear subframe to the 911 of that time, the 912E has a 1976 911 chasis and rear subframe which is modified to house the 914 4-cylinder motor. As such, dropping a 6-cylinder in the 912E is not too challenging. However, the extra power of a flat six may take away from the charm and unique nature of the 912E. Here is an example of how intoxicating they are: http://www.aircooledtechnology.com/index.php/porsche-912e And they hold their own on the track with a 4-cylinder!! It is a full Porsche 911 chasis after all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCY3hv_qbGo This car has been fully inspected, sorted, restored and repaired. It is fully functioning in all major areas and is a joy to drive. All of the things this car offers, has and does not have will be outlined here so you will have a complete picture of the car. I bought this 912E from the son of the owner for the last 20+ years who was no longer able to drive the car. It was used to commute around Washington DC for the last two decades and was garage kept - and well loved! I did a full cosmetic and mechanical overhaul to flush out and address hidden probelms and bring the car back to its' full glory. Mechanicals: 4 cylinder motor in excellent mechanical condition. Starts impeccably with no smoke and revs freely. Responsive and smooth. 5 speed manual gear box. Enagages properly with smooth action. Clutch has excellent grab and no slippage at all. Tires in excellent condition with 85+% tread Rotors and pads 75+% life remaining. Excellent braking! Upgraded Bosch H4 headlamps - very good light at night! Factory air conditioning option installed. The compressor is not installed but is present (as are all lines) and air flow systems work very well. In fact, the factory a/c fan system installed along the lower aspect of the dash blows air VERY well through out the cabin and is awesome!!! Heater fan works well and head unit was just renovated. All wiring under dash renovated or replaced. I uncovered a significant safety issue and had it sorted out PROPERLY. All electronics function. All windows roll up and down correctly. All door handles and latches operate properly. Cosmetics: This is a TOTALLY RUST FREE CAR. All of the critical areas are completely free of any rust. The car has been garage kept and it shows. Talbot Yellow exterior. Previously repainted to a high quality using factory paint and in excellent condition. Very few stone chips. GREAT appearance. Brown/ orange interior. Previously refurbished interior to a high quality. My only complaint is that the material around the dashboard above the gauges is not fully adhesed any longer and has some saggy creases. Repairing this requires removal of the dashboard and windshield - too risky for such a small return. Bummer really but the creases are not too noticeable. Steel wheels powder coated black with original hub caps with authentic Porsche sheilds. GREAT condition. Authentic (and period) "Coco Mats" in excellent condition. Sweet Porsche shift knob. All seals and rubber in excellent condition! Binder of papers from the last 10-20 years. Tool kit, jack, etc. This car has wonderful road presence and gets thumbs up and comments every where it goes! Here is the photobucket with far too many pcitures: http://s1294.photobucket.com/user/993-for-life/library/1976%20Porsche%20912E#/user/993-for-life/library/1976%20Porsche%20912E?sort=3&page=1&_suid=140384145321805628721095565511 Also, here is a video I made of the car so you can see how it moves on the road: http://youtu.be/a00mHA1WxnU If you have any questions please let me know via email or call me at 434-825-8899. I have started the bidding at $0.01 and set a reserve price. If you are interested in this car and want to discuss a "buy-it-now" price please call me to discuss. Thank- you and happy bidding! Jim

Lots of new cars were unveiled in Munich this week. Here's what you might've missed
Thu, Sep 9 2021The 2021 Munich Auto Show is happening this week and due to ongoing corporate travel restrictions, we remained firmly planted on this continent. So, although we can't tell you exactly what it's like inside the futuristic new Mercedes EQE electric sedan or fully appreciate the funky Volkswagen ID.Life concept, there's no shortage of details and analysis to provide. Obviously, as Germany's premier auto show in 2021, the cars unveiled were primarily from the German brands. We also focused mostly on the cars that might actually make their way to the United States, or at least inspire those that will. 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE is an electric alternative to the E-Class While the EQS paved the way for Mercedes' electrified future, much like the S-Class before it, the EQE stands to be the car that will move in far greater numbers -- much like the E-Class before it. Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 View 12 Photos Mercedes-Maybach EQS Concept shows SUV future of the flagship brand Opulence will still have a place in an electrified future, as Maybach gets into the EQ game with a grand electric SUV. Mercedes-Maybach EQS Concept View 4 Photos Volkswagen ID.Life concept previews the city car's high-riding EV future Well, isn't this adorable? Though perhaps a tad derivative of the Honda E, Volkswagen's blocky little crossover EV nevertheless represents a handsome new direction for VW design. We like this better than the rounded looks of the current ID.3 and ID.4. 2021 Volkswagen ID.Life concept View 20 Photos BMW i Vision Circular is a 100% recycled and recyclable hatch Behold, the next BMW 3 Series! Just kidding. Besides this, BMW displayed cars in person for the first time that it had previously only unveiled on the interwebs, including the new 2 Series and revised iX3. It also unveiled some bikes. BMW i Vision Circular Concept View 63 Photos Audi's GrandSphere concept was designed as a road-going private jet Does Audi know what a sphere is? Cause this isn't anything like one. Still, it's quite a handsome thing, and as one of three Sphere-branded concepts, previews the next direction of Audi design (which is pleasantly reminiscent of two-decade-old Mazda design). No complaints here. 2021 Audi GrandSphere concept View 26 Photos Porsche Mission R is a 1,000-horsepower electric monster Just like the Mission E previewed the Taycan, this apparently previews another future car.
Porsche Panamera gets new diesel in time for Frankfurt
Tue, 03 Sep 2013Diesel may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Porsche, but in the European market - that vital one which Porsche calls home - diesels are indispensable. Particularly when you're trying to extend beyond niche sports cars and into the mainstream luxury sedan market as Zuffenhausen has with the Panamera. In fact, diesels account for 15 percent of Panamera sales worldwide (even though they're not offered Stateside), so to keep oil-burning customers happy, Porsche has announced a series of upgrades.
Set to be unveiled in the flesh at the fast-approaching Frankfurt Motor Show, the new Panamera Diesel packs 300 horsepower. That's 50 hp (or 20 percent) more than the model it replaces, significantly dropping the 0-62 sprint from 6.8 seconds to 6 flat, and raising top speed from 152 miles per Autobahn-crunching hour to 161. While they were at it, Porsche's engineers also fitted the rear differential with torque vectoring (previously reserved for gasoline-burning models) and retuned the transmission and suspension.
You can delve into the press release below for all the details - including the new model's improved towing capacity! - but the reality, for better or worse, is that the Panamera Diesel isn't offered here. So if you've been celebrating Labor Day (or even Labour Day, for our friends to the north) like we have, don't go looking for it at your local dealer, who will have only a Cayenne Diesel to show you instead.
Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.
