1966 Porsche 912 Three Gauge Dash Coupe 4 Speed on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
1996 Porsche 912 great shape good runner 912 could be converted to 911 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3hCoHfv0ZM for a video. http://s1229.photobucket.com/user/saltzchuck/library/1966%20Porsche%20912 for many more photos (might need to enter “saltzchuck” to view album). History
I know of is the car came to Oregon from California 15 to 20 years ago.
Was pulled behind an RV for a few years so it has wiring to plug into a trailer
socket on the back of the towing vehicle. Body work and paint had been done prior to coming to Oregon, this included replacing the right rear quarter panel where you can see from the photos the red is ever so slightly more pale. A couple small body patches were done more recently. Engine
is a later model Volkswagon 1600 cc engine based per engine number AE219021. Car VIN is 454414.
Drives good, smokes a little when first started after sitting then cleans up. I had the car inspected when buying it and they found that the engine compression was tested when I got it. Cylinders 1, 2, 3,
4 were 105, 110, 70, 70 cold respectively; and 140, 140, 110, 110 hot. The shop diagnosis was
cylinders may have been shimmed incorrectly. They also found that under the front where the steering mechanism connects they said that the rust should be addressed before driving the car hard, so I've driving it around but not hard cornering. I took photos from the front, under the front, to show this rust. Good things: Floor panels are solid. Fun to drive. Shifts well. 4 wheel disc brakes work well, 50% pads all around, based on shop inspection report. Spare tire is chrome plated steel. Lifting jack. Turn signals, head lights (one high beam out) work. Glass is in great shape (SEKURIT-F windows in all except driver’s window which is a SEKIRIT-1 with a heart shaped symbol. Windshield has no letters or symbols. Wind shield has a very small chip in it, not very noticeable). Tires matching and in good shape with at least 50% tread inches of tread. Original owners manual that is pretty wasted. Original set of keys. Door locks work with key. Heater works. Carpets are in good shape. Emergency brake works. Release mechanisms for the front boot, engine compartment and fuel filler lids all work well. Doors open and close properly. Door windows roll up and down properly. Rear windows swing out and in, and latch properly. Most window rubber is in good condition, some cracking. Blaupunkt radio with 2 AM, 1 SW, and 2 FM buttons. Glove box is excellent. Seatbelts. Clear Oregon title in my name. Not so good things: Engine smokes a little when first started and then cleans up. Rust can be seen in the photos at corner of windows and in bumpers, some of the paint has small bubbles.Front boot hood does not stay up when opened, needs at least one piston replaced. Right rear quarter panel was replaced some years ago and paint is slightly oxidized. Engine compartment is missing some of the fire wall insulation due to the replacement of the right rear quarter. Hood emblem was removed and is in a box, see photos. Wheels are pitted aluminum but cool looking. Dash padding over speaker has been damaged possibly by mice, see photos. Locking portion of the ignition switch is missing, I start it with a screw driver, see the little stubby screwdriver laying on the open ashtray in one photo. Driver’s seat has torn threads, other seats pretty nice.Buyer is responsible for shipping or pick up. $500 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours of close of auction via PayPal or cash.

Porsche Cayenne, Panamera production halted by flooding
Thu, 06 Jun 2013If you recently ordered a Porsche Cayenne or a Panamera, delivery may take a little longer than originally expected. Automotive News reports that production of both models has been temporarily halted at the Porsche assembly plant in Leipzig, Germany as the result of supply shortages caused by flooding in the nearby Czech Republic. The reason for the stoppage is that the body of the Cayenne - currently Porsche's best-selling model - is produced at a Volkswagen plant in the Czech city of Bratislava and shipped by train to Leipzig.
The report does not indicate why Panamera production has been stopped - that the five-door's body is made at a separate location in Hanover, Germany. However pre-assembly will continue on these models. At full capacity, the Leipzig plant can produce about 450 vehicles per day, and it isn't clear how long this weather-related stoppage will last.
The 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona: What we learned, what we saw
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Two days after the flag dropped on the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, people are still trying to figure out what it might portend for the rest of the season. In 24 hours, two minutes and 24 seconds, 695 laps were completed by the car that crossed the line first. During that time, 67 cars began the race, 18 of them retired. There was that accident, and a red flag. There were supposedly slower classes beating supposedly faster classes. There were 16 caution periods, including that yellow flag. And then there was The Decision. And Then The Uproar. And then The Reversal.
There was also some pretty good racing, so let's have one last look at the weekend. Oh, and there was that 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO Series II...
If you want to skip the reading bits and go to the photos, there's a high-res gallery of 158 images above and a couple more below. Enjoy.
Son of Porsche 911 designer recalls 1963 Frankfurt debut
Wed, 16 Oct 2013
The Goodwood Revival is described by its presenters as the greatest motorsport racing party of the year. We often focus heavily on the motorsports, but you can't forget about the party. For the first preview of the new 911 Turbo in the UK, Porsche recreated its booth from the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963 - the time and place of the original 911's public debut.
Porsche's cameras also caught up with Mark Porsche, the great grandson of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche and son of the late Ferdinand Alexander "Butzi" Porsche, who oversaw the design of the 911. Mark Porsche admires the 911's friendly design, which is set off by the round headlights, and says his mother, who was at the original Frankfurt booth in 1963, was milling around the booth at Goodwood - no doubt taking a trip down memory lane.
