This 912 Porsche was an early model with several distinguishing features found on the early cars. It has the early flat closure panel for the engine deck lid and a 5 speed transmission as standard equipment.  The four speed transmission was not yet available. It was ordered with 5 gauges and was completed September 6th,1965. Upon entering the United States, it was titled as a 1966 model year.

This is a Porsche/Reutter bodied car.  It likely remained in Europe initially as it retains the European heater system. The transmission is the original per the C.O.A. and the engine was replaced at some point by a rebuilt engine #740625.The Solex carbs were replaced with Webers.The original color was Sand Beige with a Beige interior. It is presently silver with a black interior.The car is in excellent mechanical condition and accelerates briskly and holds its own in city traffic and on the highway. The front shocks are new and the rears were replaced 3 or 4 years old and are in like new condition. I have owned the car for over 2 years and driven it regularly in good weather. The front pan was replaced some time in the past and there is a bubble in the paint at the rear of the right front fender. The floor pan is original and seems to be in good condition. I had planned to restore the car back to its original configuration but its becoming obvious that it is not going to happen. I have included a picture of the C.O.A. which shows the car was equipped with Chrome Wheels, Clock, Outside Temperature Gauge, Signal Key (no, I do not know what that is), Antenna and Wood Steering Wheel. When I purchased the car it did not have a wood wheel.It presently has a new Nardi Wood Steering Wheel. I have since purchased a correct Porsche Wood Steering Wheel which was restored by Bruce Crawford. I will make it available to the buyer for an additional cost if desired. This car can be used as a daily driver but it would also be a good car to restore. The buyer is responsible for shipping.

 Please contact me with any questions before bidding. The car is available for inspection by appointment. This car is advertised elsewhere. I reserve the right to close this auction if it is sold. The reserve price will not be divulged.

eBay Find of the Day: Your choice of new, unregistered mid-2000s supercars

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

If you didn't quite find what you were hoping to see under the tree this year, maybe it's about time you buy yourself something nice. Something like an unregistered 2005 Porsche Carrera GT. The car has never been titled and has just 83 miles on the odometer. With one owner since new, the Carrera GT is likely to be as nice an example as you're likely to find outside of a museum. Porsche only built 340 of these machines back in 2005, and with a 610 horsepower V10 kicking at your spine, you can lap Santa's sleigh next year. Currently, the Carrera GT has a buy it now price of $457,325 with around six days left on the auction.
Not flashy enough for your tastes? Stroll on down to West Hollywood and you'll find a similarly untitled 2004 Ferrari Enzo up for grabs with a sticker of $1.8 million. Technically a Euro-spec car, the Enzo isn't legal to operate on US roads, but could be modified to satisfy Uncle Sam with a little effort. The seller calls this car the "last brand-new Enzo in existence" and with 175 miles on the clock, that may be a true statement. You can head over to eBay Motors for a closer look if you're feeling spendy.

Porsche, Hyundai and GM impress in J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, Fiat and Jeep don't

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Consumers continue to struggle with the advanced user interfaces and technologies being fitted to new cars, according to the latest J.D. Power Initial Quality Study. Overall, the industry average for problems per 100 vehicles climbed three percent, to 116 issues reported in the first 90 days of ownership.
Vehicles from the General Motors' family were dominant, with Buick, Chevrolet and GMC capturing more individual IQS segment awards than any other manufacturer. Despite its well-publicized issues, six GM vehicles (Buick Encore, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevy Silverado HD, Chevy Suburban, GMC Terrain and GMC Yukon) were given IQS awards for their respective segments.
Hyundai was ranked the best overall mass-market brand, with just 94 issues in every 100 vehicles reported in the first 90 days. Parent Hyundai Motor Company, meanwhile, trailed GM with five vehicles winning their segments, including the Hyundai Accent, Elantra and Genesis, as well as the Kia Cadenza and Sportage.

Porsche rolls out new 919 Hybrid at racing gala

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

That Porsche is returning to Le Mans next year with a top-tier LMP1 entry is no news - we've known that for some time. We've even seen pictures of the car in question undergoing testing at various racetracks across Europe, been told who'll be driving it and given some basic parameters of what will make it go. We just haven't known what to call it, but now we do.
In detailing its full endurance racing program for next year at its Night of Champions in Weissach, Porsche has revealed that its new LMP1 racecar will be called the 919 Hybrid. So, something like the 918 Spyder, only one faster. With a four-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motors, the 919 Hybrid will be taking on the top class at Le Mans next year, with a compelling roster of drivers on the docket: along with Mark Webber, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani, Porsche has assigned its works driver Marc Lieb and F1 test driver Brendon Hartley to the effort. But that's not all Porsche has in store.
The factory is also supporting teams that will campaign the 911 RSR in the FIA World Endurance Championship as well as the United SportsCar Championship here in the US, taking Porsche off the pit wall and right in the race seat for next year as part of a comprehensive new racing program, details of which you can read in the press release below.
