1965 Porsche 912, Very Early, Painted Dash, 3-gauge, 450xxx Vin, Irish Green on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
Porsche 912/450186 is one of the earliest know, 912's in existence. The Porsche 912 Registry lists approximately 10 known 912's with a build date older than this one. Though it's exact build date is unknown, production was likely completed in April of 1965. My research has shown that three gauge, painted dash 912's were only made for the first 1500 units of 912 production. This coupled with the direct link to the 356 model range and the 911, make this a rare and unique vehicle. 912's of this era are the "missing link" from the transition of 356 to the 911, arguably the most significant sports car in history.
This particular Porsche is farm-fresh and ripe for restoration. Delivered in paint code 213, Irish Green, this will be a stunning car when restored. As with many Porsches of this era, it will require floor pans, rockers, suspension pan and some additional rust repair. All of the panels needed for this car are readily sourced from Restoration Design for a reasonable cost. Though much of the interior remains, it is missing a radio or block-off plate, the gauges and the steering wheel has been replaced with what appears to be a period unit. The drive train is missing as well with both engine and trans gone when I acquire it. Though not included in the price, I have available an engine from a 68 912 which had under 70K on the odometer. The engine is currently disassembled, measures standard on the case and crank and includes an NOS set of main bearings for a .010 under crank and standard case. Additionally, I may be able to make available the matching, 5-speed trans for this motor. It was sold awhile back, though it's going unused and I have dibs on getting it back. The Porsche is located in Colorado Springs at my shop, Bulli Klinik. Though I will not arrange transportation for the car, I will do what I can to assist an out of state/country buyer. Additionally, I'll be happy to take more and detailed photos of the car once we get a break in the weather. This Porsche is not currently titled and as a result, will be sold with a bill of sale only. $12,500.00 |

Our hats are off to Porsche's 2014 911 Turbo Cabriolets
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Porsche has just debuted its two latest decapitated rocket sleds today at the LA Auto Show, the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo S Cabriolet, which share their coupe counterparts' 520-horsepower and 560-hp 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engines. That kind of power ought separate a lot of hats (and toupees!) from heads.
The rear-engined Porsches put their power down through all four wheels, which allows them to launch from 0-60 in 3.3 seconds or less (the Turbo S Cab takes just 3.1 seconds), and both of them top out at 195 mph.
The 911 Turbo Cabriolet starts at $160,700, while the Turbo S Cabriolet can be had for a grand total of $193,900 (plus $950 for destination). Is the S model's 40 extra horsepower worth $33,200? We're not so sure, but we imagine Porsche won't have any trouble selling it.
$76,400 Porsche S E-Hybrid will debut in Paris
Fri, Sep 26 2014The 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E Hybrid will be an all-new model, one that adds a plug – and the required associated technological bits – to the currently available Cayenne S Hybrid. The most important of those bits is a 10.8-kWh lithium-ion battery, but Porsche's Calvin Kim told AutoblogGreen that the SUV's electric-only range is still pending certification, but Hybrid Cars says that Porsche is estimating it'll be somewhere between 11 and 22 miles, "depending on the style of driving and route topography." Other than the new battery, the electric motor has been upgraded to a 95 horsepower/70 kW unit (up from the 47-hp/34 kW motor in the Cayenne hybrid without a plug). The overall powertrain now puts out a total of 416 hp and can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds. Alongside the electric parts, there's a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. You can find all of the E-Hybrid's available specs here and stay tuned for more information on the new plug-in SUV when it makes its debut at the Paris Motor Show in early October. The SUV will go on sale in the US on November 1, 2014 with a starting MSRP of $76,400, plus a destination charge of $995. In a new press release (available below), Porsche is also proudly saying, once again, that it will be the world's only automaker offering three plug-in hybrid models, once the Cayenne S E-Hybrid hits the market. The others are the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the 918 Spyder. How long will this reign at the top last? World premiere of the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid in Paris Leading the industry: Porsche offers three plug-in hybrid models Stuttgart/Atlanta. The new Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid celebrates its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show. It is the world's first luxury SUV to offer a plug-in hybrid drive, setting new standards in its segment. The Cayenne S E-Hybrid also makes Porsche the leading manufacturer of plug-in hybrid vehicles: Complementing the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the 918 Spyder, Porsche is the only manufacturer worldwide to offer three plug-in hybrids. In addition to the Cayenne S E-Hybrid, Porsche is presenting the other models that comprise the new generation of Cayenne including the Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, and Cayenne Diesel. Increased efficiency and performance, even more precise handling, a sharper design and a broadened array of standard equipment are its defining features.
