Up for sale is my restored California 1967 Porsche 912

This car is in excellent condition with original interior.  I have 3 classics from the 60’s and sadly have to sell one of them to help fund a real estate venture. 

Details:

I purchased this car a year ago when it had a bit under 121, 200 miles – have put a bit over 2,600 miles on it since – it is a blast to drive.  The previous owner:

  • ·      rebuilt the engine at 120,499 miles and upgraded it to 1750CC (engine # 751120)

  • ·      rebuilt original Solex carbs

  • ·      New engine sound padding installed

  • ·      Rebuilt Brake calipers and brake system bled and gone through

  • ·      replaced the clutch

  • ·      rebuilt the 5-speed transmission with new synchros

  • ·      installed new Koni shock absorbers

Since purchasing the car, I have:

  • ·      resealed the engine and replaced the valve covers

  • ·      replaced the after market cooler with factory cooler

  • ·      replaced the oil pressure switch

  • ·      repaired the wiring at the headlamps

  • ·      installed a new original Porsche exhaust/muffler

  • ·      replaced the rear bushings

  • ·      powder-coated the original steel wheels

Those are the highlights.  I have all receipts for my work and the previous owner’s work.  I have been told that the engine and body are matching numbers.

Car was also re-painted Polo Red a few years ago – correctly with all glass pulled out - and shows very well with even shine.  Car has all new window and door seals.  The body has no rust and is straight.  Interior is the original and for it’s age in excellent shape – has signs of wear, but no tear or cracks anywhere – a nice patina.  Car was garage kept for over 30 years before I bought it and I continue to garage it.

In short, this is a fantastic example of a 1967 Porsche 912.  It drives firm, fires up from cold every time, and with the little extra CC, has a nice engine growl and extra pop in the pedal.  Have driven it mostly on the weekends, around town or up the coast and it works great as a city or vacation car.  I am sad to give it up, but of my three classics, this is the least rare.  I hope it finds a good home with an owner who will continue to care for and enjoy it.  I was even able to find an original ad from the original dealer here in SoCal – it’s framed and comes with the sale.

This car comes with a reasonable reserve for a car in its condition.   I’m located in Los Angeles if you want to come by and look at the car.  E-mail me at litzewen@gmail.com if you have any questions.  I will be advertising this car through other sources so I reserve the right to end the auction if someone makes me an acceptable offer.  Thank you and good luck!

World Car Awards finalists snub American-branded vehicles — except for Bronco

Fri, Feb 2 2024

The list of World Car Awards has been whittled down to 10 finalists, but only one American brand — Ford — appears among the remaining nine carmakers for this yearÂ’s top award. The Bronco is there, and it also is balloted as a finalist in the design category. The other categories are performance car, urban car, electric vehicle and luxury model. Each category has five finalists except World Car, which has 10. One brand conspicuous by its absence in any category: Tesla. The winner in each is scheduled to be crowned March 27 at the New York International Auto Show in Manhattan. This year marks the 20th year of the World Car Awards and the partnership with the New York show. The selection process involves 100-plus automotive journalists from 29 countries who vote, as they review and test-drive the eligible vehicles for the 2024 awards. Their journey is captured virtually on World Car TV. If youÂ’re counting, the brands that appear most on the six finals lists are Mercedes-Benz (four times), BMW (also four), Hyundai (three), and Volvo (three). HereÂ’s the full listing. A video clip showing all of them is here: World Car -BYD Seal / Atto 4 -Ford Bronco -Hyundai Kona / Kona Electric -Hyundai Santa Fe -Kia EV9 -Mazda CX-90 -Subaru Crosstrek -Toyota Prius -Volkswagen ID.7 -Volvo EX30 World Car Design of the Year Ford Bronco Ferrari Purosangue Toyota Prius Volvo EX30 Zeekr X 2024 World Electric Vehicle BMW i5 Kia EV9 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV Volkswagen ID.7 Volvo EX30 2024 World Luxury Car - BMW 5 Series / i5 - Lexus LM - Mercedes-Benz CLE - Mercedes-Benz E-Class - Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV 2024 World Urban Car  - Abarth 500e - BYD Dolphin - Lexus LBX - Suzuki Fronx - Volvo EX30 2024 World Performance Car - BMW M2 - BMW XM - Ferrari Purosangue - Hyundai Ioniq 5 N - Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid

Buy a McLaren P1 GTR, Porsche 918 Spyder, and a Ferrari LaFerrari all in one place

Fri, Apr 21 2017

The McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder, and Ferrari LaFerrari, are arguably the three greatest hypercars yet. Of course, their extremely limited production meant that some ultra-wealthy individuals may have missed out on picking one up. In fact, to get a LaFerrari, you needed to have owned a certain number of Ferraris, and be in good graces with the company. However, if there are any super-rich car enthusiasts reading this right now, your chance to buy one or all of these three supercars is coming up next month at the RM Sotheby's Villa Erba auction in Italy. It will occur on May 27, and feature a McLaren P1 GTR, Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach, and Ferrari LaFerrari. 2016 McLaren P1 GTR McLaren fans, will RM Sotheby's won't offering just any McLaren P1, but rather the hardcore, track-prepped GTR variant. In fact, the GTR is so hardcore that it isn't legal for the street. This particular version went to specialist Lanzante to be converted for road use. Take note that it's only road legal in the UK, and it may not meet laws for other countries. However, that's still more than most GTRs can boast, and if you have the money for this, you shouldn't have any issue taking it to the UK to unleash the P1 GTR's 986 horsepower on public roads. This car could use some driving, too, as it only has about 223 miles on it, some of which included just one track event. RM Sotheby's expects this McLaren to go for between $3.4 million and $3.85 million. 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach View 31 Photos The Porsche 918 Spyder going up for auction is a special one as well. The first difference you'll notice is that it has been painted a custom color called "Arrow Blue," a hue specially mixed up as part of Porsche's custom paint service. It also features the lightweight Weissach package, which loses a few extra pounds by replacing an assortment of parts for lighter components. Among them are magnesium wheels and wheel bearings, carbon fiber roof, windshield frame, rear fenders, and rear view mirrors, and even titanium-backed brake pads. According to RM Sotheby's those pads have been replaced with fresh 918-spec pieces. The previous owner clearly enjoyed his or her 918, as it has just over 6,800 miles. In case you're interested in a well-loved 918, the auction house expects it to sell for just under $1.3 million to about $1.5 million.
