This nice example of a 1968 911 spent almost it’s entire life in Eastern Oregon, a part of the state known for
its dry climate. When we acquired the car it had been in storage for a few years and had the usual list of minor
needs you would expect. The motor was pulled and re-sealed, the valves adjusted and we went through the original
Weber carburetors. While we addressed the mechanicals we also took care of cosmetics in the engine compartment.
The engine tin was powder coated and a good part of the engine hardware was re-zinc plated.
The motor runs great and does not smoke and is free of any major leaks. The transmission shifts very smoothly, the
syncros are good including 2nd gear, a common issue on these 901 gearbox’s. The brakes were also gone through as
the calipers were sticking.
The body on the car was the next item to be addressed. It was a very solid car except for the battery tray area.
We had a complete front pan installed by a body shop who is very proficient in vintage Porsche repair. We sourced
all the parts from Stoddard and it was installed using the factory Porsche jig for perfect fitment. The rest of
the chassis is very dry with no damage to the floor or rear torsion tube.

Porsche in Paul Walker fatal accident was traveling over 100 mph before crash
Fri, 03 Jan 2014The Porsche Carrera GT involved in the November crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas was traveling at speeds above 100 miles per hour before Rodas lost control for "unknown reasons," according to a report from the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office that has been acquired by The Hollywood Reporter.
Once control was lost, the Porsche spun, hit a curb and then impacted a tree and a light post, then it spun 180 degrees and hit another tree before erupting in flames, the report said. Neither Walker nor Rodas were under the influence of any drugs or alcohol at the time of the incident, according to toxicology reports conducted by the coroner.
As for the future of the Fast and Furious franchise, a separate by The Hollywood Reporter claims director James Wan, writer Chris Morgan and Universal Studios will move forward with the seventh installment in the franchise, which was only partially completed when Walker was killed.
Porsche 911 and Citro"en DS lovechild would look like this
Wed, 06 Nov 2013The early Porsche 911 and the Citroën DS were two cars produced in the same era (though the DS launched in 1955, nearly 10 years before the 911), but they were vastly different from each other. The 911 was a uniquely German, pure-bred sports car, while the French-built DS had four doors and focused more on ride quality than sporting intentions. That made it all the more surprising when we came across the 911DS, a creation that binds the rear half of the Citroën to the front of an early, longhood 911.
The folks at Brandpowder are behind the creation, which we surmise was an exercise in design rather than an actual, completed project (some of the images look Photoshopped), but it's compelling nonetheless, with a turbocharged flat-six providing 260 horsepower. We hope someone builds it - though we're sure if that happened the early 911 crowd would cry afoul at one of its increasingly rare and valuable Porsches being grafted onto an old French car.
But as Brandpowder points out lightheartedly, perhaps the creation could transcend popular car culture: "The 911DS represents the effort of two countries, a genuine attempt to join their energy and talent into one thing. We hope Germany and France will be inspired by Brandpowder's story, as a metaphor for a better and greater Europe."
