Early 1966 3 Gauge 5 speed car

Original silbermetallic color as indicated in the door jam tag paint code 6206 (Rare color for 1966)
Black interior in good shape
New replica 15x4.5 Fuchs wheels
New Firestone F60 165HR15 Tires
Rebuilt Engine with larger 1720cc pistons
Rebuilt Dellorto 40 DRLA Carbs (Original Solex Carbs included)
Desirable 5 speed dogleg transmission
Bursch Exhaust
Nardi Wood Steering Wheel
New window rubber everywhere
Running, Driving, Stopping, Registered, Clean titled, and Insured in the State of Texas

I picked this car up a while back sight unseen, It did not arrive in the condition as described. It was supposed to be a fantastic running and driving car, with some dents, dings, and a little rust. When it finally showed up, I was pleased to find less rust than I feared, but it barely made it into my garage under it's own power, and the brakes were locking up. It was time to get to work

First up, I went through the brakes. Virtually every part of the brake system is new or rebuilt where you can't buy new.
New OEM ATE Master Cylinder
New OEM ATE Brake lines all around
Rebuilt front and rear calipers (Very Expensive)
Discs were cleaned up as they are within spec
It stops great now, and does not have any brake drag that is so common on early Porsches

Then it came to the motor, which while rebuilt, barely ran upon arrival. I spent a fair amount of time replacing parts
Rebuilt 031 Porsche 912 only Distributor. Rebuilt original fuel pump (expensive!)
Pertronix Electronic points replacement
Cap Rotor Sparkplugs ETC
Adjusted valves
Removed and re-installed exhaust to replace the gaskets

I could not get the original Solex split shaft P11-40 carburetors to work for me, So I added freshly rebuilt Dellorto 40 DRLA carbs
The original Solex carbs are valuable, and will be included with the car. They actually look to be recently rebuilt, but those split shafts are tricky and it takes a lot of patience and experience to get them right.

I replaced the pedal assembly with a restored one, with upgraded brass bushings instead of the plastic.
Also replaced the 3 accelerator rod bushings in the tunnel. The accelerator rod damper and some belcrank stuff as well
I added the brand new replica early alloy wheels and brand new Firestone 560 tires. They are Period correct
The gauges work, Temp, Fuel, Speedo, Tach. The odometer does not work. They do light up with the headlights as they should
The turn signals work at speed, but not while stopped. Common Classic Porsche problem
The horns are not connected to the nardi button. They worked with the stock steering wheel
I do have the original blaupunkt radio for the car as well, included. I do have steel wheels that we can discuss, 2 4.5's, 1 5.5 and 1 356 Wheel and hubcaps

The car looks great but it does have dents and dings and a little rust in the rocker area. One dent on the hood, where it looks like someone pushed on the hood. The paint in the dent is cracked. One dent on the drivers rear fender. This is the worst dent on the car. The paint is cracked in this dent as well
It's got dings, It's got scratches, like at the gas flap door where the paint is always scratched from filling up and hitting with the nozzle
The floors are clean and free of rust, see the pics. There is a rust bubble in the paint on the passenger side door in the corner. You can see this in the pics.
The rockers have a little rust. The doors are super clean and shut with the ping that they should. The front pan area is clean including the suspension area, see the pics. Under the hood and in the back is clean as well

The interior is original. Couple scratches in the leather but excellent condition. I didnt touch it nor does it need it.
The door panels are original and excellent. The headliner could use a cleaning but it's pretty nice.
I added the vintage Nardi wheel, I do have the Porsche steering wheel but I think it may be later 911 padded leather. not sure
I added a reproduction but correct shift knob
The sun visors are correct and nice

The Motor runs cool on the freeway and even in stop and go traffic. It has a fairly recent rebuild with larger 1720 Pistons, and a mild port job. It may have a slightly hotter cam.
It sounds great and has plenty of power when you want it. It idles at 900 and cruises well at around 3K RPMs, from 3K to 6500RPM's is a blast.
I do drive the car locally but I have never driven the car further than 60 or so miles at a time. I have had it past 100mph recently and it feels as a Porsche should
I just changed the oil and filter and it came out clean, no metal shavings or anything unexpected.
The engine tin is all powder coated and nice

This is a great honest car. It could use some paint and fiddling around type of tuning work to make it perfect but is absolutely beautiful as is. If you made it this far, you know Porsche's, you know early short wheel base cars, and you've watched the prices skyrocket. You've seen how these early 3 gauge cars are especially sought after and command higher prices. You've also seen rust buckets go for ridiculously high prices. You've watched thesamba, eBay, Etc. I have too

No warranty stated or implied. Non-Refundable deposit due within 48 hours of auction close, Balance to be paid via wire only within 7 days. Wire only, I do not need someone showing up with $20K+ cash. It is Houston after all... Please check my perfect feedback including selling 2 classic VW's here on eBay. I'm good as a buyer too :D

I will assist your shipper, I can recommend a great shipper, and if you are an international buyer, I will assist in driving the car to the port of Houston

I will keep the car insured and garaged until pick up, but please be mindful about picking up within 2 weeks. My garage space is at a premium. Speaking of insurance, it is currently insured at $25K agreed value with Hagerty, it runs about $200 a year. They actually want to bump it up to $30K, they too follow classic Porsche prices.

I'm including pictures below, but should they be removed, here's a link to 50 more pictures : http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Erik_G/library#/user/Erik_G/library/ghia/1966%20Porsche%20912?sort=2&page=1&_suid=1404240339397038823900025223995

Porsche sees error of ways, next 911 GT3 to offer manual transmission

Fri, Mar 4 2016

Consider this Porsche's mea culpa. After creating an uproar over selling a new 911 GT3 without a manual transmission, the automaker introduced the limited-edition, manual-equipped 911 R in Geneva. That car is just a stopgap, though. It's meant to hold 911 drivers over until the next GT3 arrives with the same six-speed manual transmission. Yes, the next-gen GT3 will get an old-fashioned six-speed manual, according to a new report from Autocar (but the GT3 RS will still be PDK-only). In fact, the same report claims Porsche will make sure that the 911 GT3 remains the car for the brand's most ardent purists. While the rest of the Porsche range moves to turbocharged engines, the GT3 will stick to its naturally aspirated guns. That comes direct from the big boss behind the GT3, Andreas Preuninger, who told the magazine this would be the case "for the foreseeable future." According to Preuninger, the only member of Porsche's GT line that will go turbocharged is the one that's been that way all along – the GT2 and GT2 RS, which we'll see next year. And yes, Preuninger's statement about limited turbocharging applies to the Cayman GT4, too, even though the model that high-performer is based on has moved to a line of turbocharged engines. When the next GT4 arrives, it'll be with a flat-six in the middle. Related Video:

Porsche Macan caught completely uncovered

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Porsche is preparing to launch its sub-Cayenne CUV, with a suspected debut at the 2013 Los Angeles International Auto Show, which means we're right about at the point where undisguised models start scampering around the cities and towns of Germany. Our spy photographers snagged just such a model, with only the headlights and taillights concealed by camouflage (no, those comically large lamps aren't a production item).
The undisguised car looks like a tiny Cayenne. Not really surprising, we know, but it's impressive to see how the Cayenne's styling works with the smaller proportions of the Macan. It looks squat, athletic and poised, like it's a small, "sporty" crossover we'd actually want to drive. Both the Macan and the Macan Turbo are shown, with the more powerful model sporting a set of quad exhausts.
The only big questions now concern the shape of the lights and the interior. From the photos, we can see a rough outline of the headlights, although the taillights are more difficult to discern. The interior remains a mystery.

One POV lap shows 62 years of Porsche through 20 cars

Thu, Dec 17 2015

Porsche has earned a legacy of motorsports success that many brands would envy, and the amazing vehicles that achieved those victories were on display this year at the Rennsport Reunion V at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. We visited this massive celebration of the sports car company and got a great look at some of the 1,400 Porsches in attendance. Now it's time for you to strap in and enjoy a POV lap of the track in 20 cars that exemplify 62 years of taking checkered flags across the world. This clip offers a chance to see and hear the evolution of Porsche's racers in just a couple of minutes. It starts behind the wheel of some of the early four-cylinder cars but quickly transitions to the brand's iconic prototypes and eventually to the modern track machines. Here's an opportunity to experience some of these historic vehicles from the cockpit if you missed the chance to see them at Rennsport Reunion V in September.
