Up for auction is a 1966 Porsche 912 3 guage coupe which we recently acquired from the neighbor of a good customer of ours. A true barn find which has been stored in a covered barn in south Georgia for the last several years after the previous owner began to repair the rust damage to the front suspension pan but never finished it. We have not even knocked the dust off it yet!

The Vin number is 454916, which matches on the door tag, front metal tag and stamping on the chassis. The title for the car has been lost and will be sold with a bill of sale only.

The motor that is included does not appear to be original to the car as the engine # is 4093557. It does turn over by hand freely but does have a tight spot, as such should be completely rebuilt before trying to run it. The transmission appears to be original to the car as it is date coded 2/66.

The original paint code on the car is 6607 which is Sand Beige, but it is currently painted a blue/silver color. Overall the paint appears to be in very good shape and once the dust is knocked off should look great. The interior is black with aluminum trim on the dash. It has a Momo steering wheel installed as well as some additional guages under the dash but appears to be stock otherwise, everything is in very good shape and will clean up nicely! Black headliner is in good shape. Car has a tape deck and custom speaker box behind/above the rear seats.

The wheels are not original to the car but are period correct Fuchs which came on the 911's

The car has had some previous repairs on the underside floor pans, which all appear to be in good shape. The car comes with parts to complete the rust repair on the front suspension pan as pictured, once that is taken care of the rest of the car is extremely solid! There is no rust or bubbling of the paint around the windows which is very common on these cars!

We encourage you to come and take a look at the car in person, it is located in Marietta, GA. If you are not able to come see it feel free to send us a message with any questions you have. The car is being sold as-is where-is meaning that the car is being offered with NO warranty of any kind and the buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. A $500 deposit will be due via Paypal with 24 hours of the auction ending, full balance should be paid by cash, cashiers check or wire transfer prior the car being picked up.

Meet the man that discovered and restored the oldest existing Porsche

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

Luciano Rupolo is an absolutely fascinating gentleman. He was born in France but spent nearly his entire life in Italy as an auto mechanic running his own shop. His grandfather and father instilled a love of sports cars in him that he carried on by historic racing in Italy for decades. He saw his life-long automotive passion repaid when he found and restored the car that might have been the first Porsche registered for the road.
You can spot in his garage a split-window Corvette, Ferrari 250 GTE and other exotics, but Rupolo's most interesting automotive story concerns his Iso Grifo Competizione (pictured above). The sports coupe was found in the Canary Islands as little more than a shell, but Rupolo got help from a prestigious source for its restoration. The result is a motoring masterpiece.
Rupolo is a fantastic storyteller with a captivating, tale to tell. Settle in, scroll down and watch the bittersweet documentary about his life with one of the first Porsches.

World Car of the Year finalists announced

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).

Touring Italy in a classic Porsche will have you feeling continental

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

It's hard to believe there was a time when a Porsche 911 didn't come to market with 400 horsepower. But as the latest video from Petrolicious reminds us, with this video of a 1968 911T, owned by Donato Maniscalco, that time wasn't so long ago.
You might think, being a distinguished man living in Italy, Maniscalco would be more enthused by a Ferrari, Maserati, or Lamborghini, but in reality, it was always Porsche that enamored the Italian as a boy. And it was that passion that led him to purchase the glorious 911T he's seen tossing about in this video.
Maniscalco goes into detail about what makes the old 911 such a legend, while also mentioning how he and the car participate in classic rallies and races. There's also some typically beautiful footage of the Italian countryside, as well. So take a look below for the latest video from Petrolicious.
