1965 Porsche 912 No Reserve Early 3 Gauge Painted Dash California Survivor (911) on 2040-cars
Daytona Beach, Florida, United States
1965 Porsche 912 Very Rare and Desirable 3 Gauge Painted Dash 912! This 912 was undergoing restoration when the previous owner passed away. It needs very little sorting/finishing to be a strong driver. I have personally driven this 912 for a couple hundred miles since late January. I first showed the 912 at the Rolex 24 Hour in Daytona Beach. Even though I didn't have a Porsche Club reserved parking pass, the PCA Club waived me into their reserved parking area and made room for the 912 among other notable classics. I was absolutely flattered by the attention the 912 received and the amount of questions I had about the 912. This is definitely a 912 that gets a lot of attention and respect! This car is the bridge between the 356 and 911 with the 356 engine and painted dash styling and 911 Chassis. Values continue to rise across the 912 spectrum; however, very few painted dash cars were built (likely less than 1,500 total) and remain today. Resprayed in the Desirable Original Ruby Red Color. The windows and rubbers were removed during the respray. I would rate the paint quality as sufficient for a driver or local show. It polishes up very nicely but is not concours level. The 912 was recently serviced by Kennedy Porsche in Daytona. The Original Solex Carbs (included in sale) need rebuilding so they were replaced with new Webers. At the same time, a new distributor was installed. The 912 runs very strong at this point. Engine starts right up, Transmission Shifts Smoothly, Drives Straight and Brakes firmly and straight! Please watch the video. I apologize for the quality. My GoPro is having issues so I had to use my iPhone. (you will note in the video I added the exhaust tail pipe since the pics were taken.) This California 912 appears to have its Original Floor Pan! The Pan is solid and free of any significant rust issues. The only issues I noticed was there may be some filler in the rocker panels and there's a small patch on the front pan. However, all things considered, this is about as solid a driver level 912 as you could hope to find. All Original Dated Coded Rims, plus Spare Tire and Jack are Present! Headlight and Taillights work! The Original Radio is Present although Disconnected. Glass is all in great condition and the chrome and stainless trim present well! The Interior is in nice condition and needs very little finishing. The dash mat was replaced but needs securing. The rear seats are serviceable and appear original. The front seats appear to have been recovered and are in nice condition. The seat back adjustment mechanisms will need attention as they don't always lock the seat back in place. Also, there are no seat belts included. All things considered this is an excellent driver level 912 that not only is very original but can be enjoyed from day 1 and improved as time permits. With the increasing value of 912s, this is a great investment and the best of the 912s as it is a very early 3 Gauge, Painted Dash car! **I reserve the right to end auction early. 912 is advertised elsewhere.** **If you are serious about buying, bid early and let me know you're a serious buyer** WE HAVE OTHER CLASSIC MERCEDES AND PORSCHE AVAILABLE!

Porsche undecided on new 911 GT2 [w/poll]
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Fans of hardcore 911s had it pretty good with the last 997 generation. There was the GT3, GT3 RS, GT3 RS 4.0, GT2 and GT2 RS (pictured above). Each one was faster, more powerful and more expensive than the one below it, but what they all shared was what Porsche purists love most: rear engine, rear drive, a manual transmission and little else.
So far with the new 991, Porsche has only released a GT3 version. Sure, there have been other models, but they're all decidedly more luxurious and less performance-focused. And as impressive a machine as the new GT3 is, it has run the risk of alienating some of its most ardent fanatics with technological interference in the form of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and four-wheel steering. So what those purists have really been looking forward to is a more hardcore GT3 RS or new GT2. But those may not be coming so quickly.
Speaking with 911 project chief August Achleitner, Car and Driver reports that a new GT2 is anything but a foregone conclusion. The reasons may be partially political, but could be technical in nature as well: with 560 horsepower driving all four wheels, the new 911 Turbo S runs the 0-60 in less than three seconds. Give it more power but less traction, as Porsche has done with past GT2s, and you may not end up seeing an actual improvement in performance. A GT2 that's slower than the Turbo S would be difficult to explain.
A 1985 Ford Escort for $915,000? If it was owned by Princess Diana
Sun, Sep 3 2023What makes a used car worth more than the car itself? If it was owned by John Lennon. Or Muhammad Ali. Michael Schumacher, perhaps, or Stirling Moss. This year’s edition from the Hagerty organization of its “Power List” makes for amusing reading even if youÂ’re not on it. But you can make believe that you are. Essentially, the list, which was launched only last year, tracks the impact of celebrity ownership of a vehicle on its value, as measured by its worth at auction. Nearly 400 sales of celebrity cars and bikes have been analyzed from around the world by Hagerty using market data and “expert” analytics. Hagerty is aware, certainly, that famous folks — from royalty, sports, movies and music — grab gobs of attention from ordinary people. ThatÂ’s why the 2023 Power List comprises these categories: Art Cars, Racing Drivers, Movies and TV, Musicians, Royalty, Screen Stars, Sporting Icons. But you don't have to be a rock star or a F1 pilot to get listed: Princess Diana, besides an Escort Turbo RS that she owned between 1985 and 1988, numbered a convertible 1994 Audi 80 Cabriolet and a Jaguar XJS Cabriolet among her rides. HereÂ’s a look at some of the more notable entries: Racing driver category: In pole position was an unlikely titleholder, a 1976 Ford Bronco. This was the car bought new by legendary Canadian Formula 1 driver Gilles Villeneuve and untouched since his death; it sold at the Aguttes auction in Paris last December for $148,000, a huge 210% increase over the $47,800 that Hagerty would value a regular example in the same condition. Just a note: The list doesnÂ’t include race cars, only vehicles kept privately by the drivers. Musicians: A 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow had been Freddie MercuryÂ’s personal chauffeur-driven transport from 1979 until his death in 1991. Without celebrity ownership, Hagerty would value the Silver Shadow at a lowly $9,500, a car that would take a lot of time, effort and money to restore properly. But add in MercuryÂ’s aura and bids ended at $362,500. “ItÂ’s no surprise that MercuryÂ’s car dominated our Musicians list on the 2023 Hagerty Power List,” the company said. Movies and TV: For those readers now emerging from hibernation since 1968, the news is that the historic Highland Green Mustang from “Bullitt” remains at the top of the Power List for the second year running.
2015 Porsche Cayenne S
Tue, 23 Sep 2014Oh, Porsche.
Just as the dust settles over the 911 GT3's no manual gearbox kerfuffle, the Germans have gone and yanked the yummy naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V8 from the Cayenne S and replaced it with a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6. Is nothing sacred in Porscheland?
Perhaps not... but that's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, Porsche famously once said they'd never build a diesel, but when they did, it was actually rather stellar.
