Super nice 1968 912 is a great driving and handling car that is in fantastic condition! Just put in the key and you are ready to go! Everything in the car works well -except the clock. The runs rock-solid solid in every way and a get lots of thumb-ups from other drivers.
I purchased my cherished 912 in the summer, 2009 from Aventura Motors in Miami--they sell beautifully restored and serviced vehicles. In the four years I have owned the car, it has been well cared for. I have had the car serviced at Mullenix Motorsport Engineering in Richardson TX. Ed Mullenix is the Technical Editor for the Mavericks Porsche Club here in Dallas. The car was in great shape when I received it and Ed did full a thorough check. I did need a new master cylinder, oil change and a new speedo cable. It also has a pretty new battery.
The body is super straight, free of rust (body and frame) and the paint is beautiful. The best I can tell it was resprayed blue several years ago and does not need painting (the original color was Sand). The engine provides plenty of power and the 4-speed is super torquey--a previous owner installed a short-throw clutch so this is a super easy car to drive. The original carbs have been replaced with Weber Carbs that give the car more power than the spec 98hp. And a dry-sump oil pump has been installed, which much more reliable than the original system.
There is a slight crack in the chrome trim piece under the driving lamp on the passenger side.The interior is in very good shape and has a sporty Momo steering wheel. The seats are great and the stainless steel trim is in very good condition. I replaced the stereo with an old-school style unit that takes thumbs drives and micro cards for music. In keeping with the original period appearance I left the speakers on the package shelf in the rear. The drivers side door panel has a tear on the arm rest and there is some slight cracking on the top trim (this never bothered me). On the passengers side the the door card trim has the outline of a round speaker cut-out next the speaker that was installed. The center on the dash has a crack that has been patched from a tube with a black vinyl material.
What I Iove about my 912 is that it has two sets of wheels and tires--1) the original old-school chrome hubs and 2) original black-out after-market wheels of the day with an embossed Porsche logo in the center cap which are mounted on some nice Michelins with plenty of miles left. Also, I will include a 1968 Porsche 912 Service Manual and a good quality car cover. I always kept the car garaged, covered and hooked-up to a trickle-charger.
I hate to part with the car but I have been commuting out-of-town to a new job so I don't get to enjoy my baby as often as I would like. Please let me know if you would like more pictures--I can put it on a lift.

eGarage video features Helmuth Bott's personal Porsche 959 prototype
Fri, 12 Apr 2013"We thought we were going to build a super-911," said Peter Schutz, former CEO of Porsche AG of the development of the Porsche 959. That was before it started getting expensive. At that point, Helmuth Bott, Porsche R&D director got frightened. Costs ballooned because of the all-wheel drive, sequential turbocharging and other technology Porsche had never even thought about when it set out to build a 911 to compete in Group B. Schutz continued, "The amount of resources we were committing got totally out of hand." Instead of pulling the plug, Bott doubled down and drew on the strength of his brilliant team to build a car whose impact is still echoing aross the industry.
"It's probably one of our most prized possessions" says Don Leatherwood, Director of the Brumos collection where Dr. Bott's personal prototype resides, and where Frazer Spowart went to see the car and create a video for eGarage. Check out the sights and sounds of the 959 before it was the 959, and get personal takes on the car from Hurley Haywood, Peter Schutz and Don Leatherwood. Keep reading to see the video.

Porsche tuners 9ff, SpeedArt going bankrupt
Thu, 19 Sep 2013Times are tough in Europe right now, and that unfortunately has reaped disastrous consequences for some of its smallest niche automakers. Gumpert, Wiesmann, Artega and Lola have all filed for bankruptcy this year, and it appears that tuners are not immune to the tough times, either.
Word coming in from across the pond suggests that 9ff and SpeedArt - two of the biggest names in Porsche tuning - have filed for bankruptcy as well. 9ff is best known for the GT9, a radical hypercar barely based on the 911, while SpeedArt was once of the foremost tuners of Porsches.
Fortunately there are still plenty of tuners ready to take a wrench to your Elfen, but the reported demise of these two makes the market a little bit smaller and - for Porsche enthusiasts - maybe the world a little bit lonelier, too.
