1966 Porsche 912 in Guards Red over Black

VIN 451918

This 1966 SWB 3-guage dash 912 began life Bahama Yellow to later be resprayed in Guards Red. The paint was done in the late 80s and still maintains a nice shiny finish with expected dings and imperfections for the age. Interior was also redone at the time including front seat and jump seat upholstery, firewall panel, carpet, sun visors and carpet. The interior presents itself well with no rips or tears in the vinyl upholstery.

Despite the number of years elapsed, the car appears to have been driven less than 20,000 miles since the cosmetic work. The odometer reads about 88,000 miles now (and counting). I have an extensive set of service receipts that begin in 1983 at about 28,000 miles and progressively accrue miles to the current figure without odometer rollover indicated which works out to about 2,000 miles per year over that 30 year period.

The 912 was a CA car serviced by Charlie's Foreign Car in Encinitas until bought and driven to NC in 1987. The body is straight with minimal rust showing at base of front windshield gasket. Floor pans appear original and are excellent along with front suspension pan. New gas tank from Performance Porsche in 2005. Minor rust was properly repaired in the smuggler's box two years ago with a very small spot below battery treated Naval Jelly with no change since. Overall it's a terrific example of a fundamentally rust free 912.

An extensive mechanical overhaul was completed in 2010 with an estimated 3000 miles driven since. This was a no expense spared rebuild of the engine and 5-speed transmission with receipts totaling about $11K. Work was completed by a reputable BMW and Porsche restoration shop in NC. New jugs, pistons, crank bearings, rod bearings, crank pulley, etc. New voltage regulator and Bosch blue coil. 5-Speed received new sync rings, 1/2, 3/4 sliders, rear bearing, gasket/seal kit, shift arm and shifter bushings. A CSP high performance oil cooler was installed at an additional cost of $858. Exhaust is through a $414 "Quiet Street" setup from Classic and Speed Parts. 40 IDF Weber carburetors bought new for the car in 2004 were rebuilt. Gauges recently calibrated. Receipts for all work will be included with sale. The folder of receipts is about 1" thick and dates back to 1982.

Recent oil and filter change with Brad Penn 20W50. Rear suspension bushings were just replaced with high quality Elephant Racing parts. Since photos, new Falken Ziex 912 tires have been installed and I lightly polished the wheel aluminum by hand.

This 912 is a beautiful, well sorted example of a very high driver quality car. More pics are available upon request. $500 non refundable Paypal deposit due at end of auction with pickup within 10 days. Local inspection is welcome and encouraged

Porsche 911 GT2 RS vs. Mercedes SLS AMG Black in battle of who can shred more rubber

Fri, 04 Apr 2014

We might be looking at the end of an era in European performance models. Mercedes-Benz is doing away with the SLS in favor of a rumored smaller and cheaper SLC, and Porsche has said that a new 911 GT2 isn't necessarily a sure thing, which means another 911 GT2 RS is even farther away. In its latest video, Evo's Jethro Bovingdon pits the ultimate versions of these German sports coupes against each other and finds two of the fastest cars the magazine has ever lapped around its track.
In one corner, there is the Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series that sits as the pinnacle of the company's halo model. It relies on the classic setup of a V8 mounted in front powering the rear wheels. On the other side, there is the 911 GT2 RS with a turbocharged flat-six mounted at the back, spinning the rear wheels. It was conceived to be Porsche's ultimate expression of a turbocharged 911, and while it's a few years old, Bovingdon shows that it's up to the task of racing a more modern rival.
Both of these rear-wheel-drive monsters are more than capable of some fantastically smoky power-slides, but they also show how great the last generation of sports cars was. Scroll down to check out the video.

Porsche Cayman, Boxster caught in GTS trim

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

A few months ago, we reported on some leaked information from an internal presentation for upcoming Porsche models. This included details about the Macan and the 911 Targa, which we now know to be true, but there was also talk about GTS versions of the Cayman and Boxster.
Well, it appears we're now getting our first look at these GTS models, as our spy photographers have just snapped a pair of Porsche prototypes out testing - one Cayman and one Boxster.
Right off the bat, we can see that both GTS-branded cars will get a slightly tweaked exterior with new fascias (bringing LED daytime running lights to the Cayman) and air diffusers at the rear. The true gem of these cars will be the added horsepower to the tune of 340 horsepower - a 15-hp bump. A manual transmission will likely be standard, as will Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).

LaFerrari, McLaren P1, Porsche 918 and Agera R take to Assen

Tue, 10 Jun 2014

It's the show-down (sort of) we've all been waiting for. The battle of the hybrid hypercars from the performance powerhouses of Europe: Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. No one publication has managed to get their hands on all three just yet, but this video has - and with a Koenigsegg Agera R thrown in for good measure.
The video was shot by our (unrelated) Dutch compatriots at Autoblog.nl at the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands. The track has played host to Champ Cars and all manner of racing bikes, but this could be the ultimate grid of actual production machinery that's ever lined up behind its start/finish line. Shame the weather was rainy and this unsurpassed array of supercars weren't really racing - more showing off for the crowds. But what a show it was. Scope out the footage in the video below.
