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 RSR in bizarre, terrifying rally crash

Sun, 22 Sep 2013

As far as rally crashes go, this one is pretty terrifying. At this month's Hellendoorn Rally, Harry Kleinjan failed to negotiate a turn and drove his Porsche 911 RSR straight into a Jersey barrier, flipping the car into the river.
While it's unclear what caused the accident, German Car Scene notes, "We can see his brakes locking up ahead of the impact, which also ripped both driver's side wheels off, so it may be a case of ill-judged late braking, locking brakes or a jammed throttle." Us? We're betting it might have been bad pace notes. Fortunately for Harry and his co-driver, all indications are that no one was hurt. Check out the videos below to see the spectacular crash for yourself.

Porsche looks back on very first 911 Turbo

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

Porsche has really hit on a winning formula with its series of videos going inside its vault. So far, we've seen the V8 911 prototype, mid-engine test mule and aerodynamic prototype. The company is sticking with the 911 theme in the latest entry, but this time it's an actual production car - the very first 911 Turbo ever made.
Being the first Turbo would make it important enough, but the car was also a birthday present for Louise Piëch, daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and sister to Ferry Porsche, and she regularly used the car. The family didn't just hand her a random car off the assembly line, either. She got to make it her own with some interesting modifications. She supposedly even painted landscapes from inside the car.
You have to wonder what Piëch thought of her present. The early Turbos had a reputation for being a bit of a handful to drive. The boost tended to bring the power all at once, which wasn't always welcome when cornering. She deserves some honor just for driving the car on the curvy, alpine roads. Scroll down to learn about this important Porsche, and we can't wait to see what car the brand showcases next.

The 2013 Rolex 24-hour race at Daytona comes down to the last hour [spoilers, w/video]

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It took 24 hours to run the race, but it was the last one was stuffed with the high action as four cars were still trying to figure out how to gain victory on the track and in the pits. Along with the obligatory crashes, spins, mechanical issues and retirements had come numerous penalties, a double-digit number of full-course yellows and two hours of fog that turned early Sunday morning into a stretch of parade laps.
The final hour would make up for the morning - drivers who might have been happy just to get on the podium had a shot at victory as the end of the race approached, and that turned into a few gambles that paid off, and at least one that didn't...
