1966 Porsche 912. Immaculate condition. Only 61k miles. I am only the third owner. The original owner had it garaged for over 20 years. The second owner did most of the restoration and improvements, and I have owned it for the past 13 years. It has always been garaged and covered. The body is in perfect shape. Absolutely no rust, dents, or major dings. The paint is in beautiful condition (the 2nd owner had it repainted).

The interior is also in beautiful condition. The carpet, upholstery, and headliner, were all replaced and are in great condition. The seats are high backs from a 1970s 911, but were re-upholstered to match. I added a Sony 50w x 4 detachable face cd deck with 4 Infinity speakers. It sounds great. I also added a Clifford alarm. All gauges are in working order (although I think the speedometer is a little fast and not sure how totally accurate the odometer is/was). The weather-striping was replaced and is also in excellent condition. All windows, wind-wings, door handles, seat adjustments, lamps, lights, etc. are all in good working order.

The engine is solid and strong. The 2nd owner added the dual weber carbs and the MSD electronic ignition. It is an original 5 speed, and the clutch and transmission are in good order and have been recently maintained. The brakes, shocks, ball-joints, and suspension have also been recently maintained. I have also added a trickle charger for the battery, because unfortunately, i haven't been driving it enough (hence the sale). All work during my past 13 years of ownership have been handled by Dieters in San Diego. They are the best in town (www.dieters.com). I have a lot of the documentation and records even dating back to the original owner in the 1960's, including the original Owner's Manual.

It 's not perfect, but all-in-all, it's in amazing shape for a 48 year-old car. Literally, every time I drive it, I get compliments, thumbs-ups, smiles, and people coming over to look and ask questions. It's really a great car.

I am very sorry to see it go, but a change in family life dynamics means that it has to go. Please e-mail me directly at 1966porsche912@gmail.com to see more pictures and videos, or come by in person to visit.

Please see attached terms and conditions. Thanks.

Next Porsche Cayman and Boxster to be called 718?

Wed, Dec 24 2014

Porsche has spent a few years sorting out its strategy away from the 911 and its crossovers, among the moving targets being the now-moribund Ferrari-fighting 960, the still-very-much-alive variant(s) coming with the next-generation Panamera, and what appears to be a puissant Cayman that could be called the GT4. Earlier this year there were rumors that a flat-four engine would join the Stuttgart maker's lineup, and that it could go into a roadster called the 718 that would undercut the current $51,400 price of the Boxster, and the Boxster would go upscale, leapfrogging the $52,600 price of the Cayman. Then Porsche turned out the lights on the 718 project, its R&D head telling Autocar, "We have a very good entry point to the range with the Boxster, and we see no reason to go below that." But Automobile reports that while the 718 roadster is dead, the 718 name will live: a la the 911, a new 718 range will encompass coupes and convertibles spanning a wide performance envelope. The suggestion is that the Boxster and Cayman names will be retired. According to Automobile, this will give Porsche a place to put its flat-four engine, into entry level models that – countering Porsche's earlier statement – "come in at a significantly lower price than" the present Boxster. Two displacements are expected, in three outputs: a 2.0-liter with 285 horsepower, a 2.5-liter with 360 hp and a turbocharged version with 400 hp. It's also been speculated that the engine could power an entry-level Macan. It's been reported before that Porsche wants to make use of the 718 name to promote its motorsport heritage, that model having carried Stirling Moss to victory among its many racing triumphs. If it happens, even though Automobile calls it part of "a slight perspective shift," we think it'll be a big shift for the two popular models, but it's not like we haven't had time to get ready. We're told the new moniker will be introduced in 2016 as a 2017 model. News Source: Automobile via World Car Fans Porsche Convertible Coupe porsche 718

Porsche 911 Cabriolet refresh may hide new engine

Wed, 22 Jan 2014

If we learned nothing else from our recent frolic through Porsche's secret museum, it's that the automaker goes to incredible lengths to disguise future products during initial testing. Just as a number of cars in that Stuttgart bunker hid the true identity of developmental mules (like the Audi-V8-powered 911), such could very well be the case with these spy shots showing what, on the surface, appears to be simply a facelifted 991 911 Cabriolet.
Similar to what we saw last month on a 911 coupe, this Cabriolet has obvious styling modifications made to the front and rear fascias suggesting that the 911's still-fresh appearance is already set to get a few tweaks. The big news here is at the rear of the car. The additional vents on the lower edge of the fascia and the mocked-up vent above the engine leads our spy photographer to believe that a new engine could be tucked under the body work - likely a smaller-displacement, turbocharged flat-six focusing more on improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions rather than performance.
We last heard rumblings of such a detuned 911 back in August, but could this be our first look at said new model? Have a look for yourself, and let us know what you think - either about this mule specifically or the idea of a "green" 911, in Comments below.

Porsche 918 Spyder configurator goes live

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

That didn't take long. The debut model of the new Porsche 918 Spyder is still thronged by onlookers at the Frankfurt Motor Show, while the German sports car maker is hard at work putting the first version of the supercar's configuration page online. Considering Porsche configurators are some of our favorite time-wasters of the genre, we expect car-guy productivity to drop by a few percentage points over the rest of the day.
So, the 918 dream-maker doesn't list and prices as yet, and that's too bad. But considering the car is due to start off at $845,000 in the US, chances are good that unless you're reading this from the shallow end of your Uncle Scrooge-spec money pool, the cost of any part of the 918 is academic to you anyway.
To start, Porsche is offering twelve paint colors, three wheel choices and seven two-tone interior treatments. Standard lightweight bucket seats and a set of chairs with "firmer padding" are on offer, too. The options list is mostly populated with interior bits, though many - an anti-reflection interior, fire extinguisher, six-point seatbelts - are racing-oriented or functional. Note that Porsche is also kind enough to offer just one cupholder as an optional extra; the unit is made of aluminum and is detachable so that you won't have to carry the extra weight during racing. Also, Porsche probably puts you on some kind of naughty 'list' if you order one...
