Porsche 912e 1976 Gorgeous California Car, Immaculate & Ready To Show,enjoy. on 2040-cars

 This is my personal Porsche 912E, very reluctant sale, and one of the best cars I have ever owned. I went from a 1974 911S where the maintenance was eating me alive, to this incredible, reliable, wonderful car which actually has a lighter feel, is nearly as quick, and sips fuel in the 30plus MPG range. During my five plus years of ownership the car has had a completely rebuilt engine (2 years ago) with all top quality German parts, and at the time a new clutch, new clutch cable, accelerator cable, transmission bushings, and many other mechanical refreshments to a rust free, accident free car that had faithfully carried its one previous owner over many miles. There are only about 3200 miles on the rebuild, and brakes, suspension, etc are superb and tight. I fitted a new set of Pirellis all around to the beautiful Fuchs wheels, then just in the past year I chose to have the car repainted to an extremely high standard. We took the car all the way down to bare metal, found only the slightest areas of subtle corrosion near door bottoms which were completely remedied, and we also removed the glass to create a completely result around the all important windscreens and backlight. The often troublesome door stops were completely rebuilt and re-inforced, undetectable but the repair will last forever. The glass was replaced front and rear with all new rubber seals, and the car had rear upholstery work, parcel shelf replacement, and new genuine leather seats in the correct factory patterns. The dash had minor hairline cracks from the southern California sun, so a very high grade dash recovering was achieved while the windscreen was out, in the correct color, and it looks great. As a final touch inside, the leather luggage straps were replaced with factory type originals and they can be very useful as all the hold downs are in place (often lost on sloppy restorations).

As can be seen in the photos, the car is beautiful in the luggage area, and comes with a factory manual, as well as the complete factory tool roll with all the German tools, and the jack and tire iron roll. There is a photo where the new battery lives showing Zero rust in this often bad area, and never a bit of nose accident damage. Also a new factory grille badge had to be installed. Any interested party may send any experienced inspector to check out the car. Everything works except the clock, and it drives like a dream. It starts on a dime with all its original factory fuel injection intact, and an all new exhaust system including the pipes from the heads all the way to the tip. The heater boxes are both fitted and in excellent shape, giving wonderful odor free heat and defrost as they should. Toasty in the winter! The engine does not leak, being virtually new, but had all the important ancillaries including a factory new oil cooler fitted, and the oil and filter (German filters only) have been changed every 1,000 miles. On the hottest days, the oil temp stays right where it belongs, and I don't hesitate to take this car anywhere. You could have the wheels polished if you want a show car, and perhaps a bit more detailing in the engine room, or show and drive this car as it truly needs nothing. A great Blaupunkt radio with Alpine speakers makes for nice entertainment, with a removable flex antenna (all new with the repaint).

Happy to show the car during the auction to real bidders, or qualified inspectors or mechanics. This is the real thing and the new owner will have something to be proud of that can be enjoyed for many trouble free years to come. See my feedback. I have sold some of my collection in years past, but I never thought it would be this one. The reserve is extremely reasonable for a car this well sorted from a rust free, crash free history. Bid with confidence. Reserve will not be disclosed and the auction will run to the end. Many thanks for understanding, but this car will go at a fair price to a new owner who is getting a real jewel.
