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 911 Cabriolet refresh may hide new engine
Wed, 22 Jan 2014If 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 already almost sold out?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Still planning on getting your hands on a Porsche 918 Spyder? You'd better act quickly, because word has it that the hybrid hypercar is nearly sold out.
While Porsche has reportedly only delivered a little over 30 of the 918 examples of the Spyder it plans to manufacture in total, Automotive News says that production is sold out through late March or early April - just a few months shy of when production is set to wrap in July.
That's pretty impressive for a car with a base price of almost $850,000, especially one requiring a $200,000 deposit just to get your name on the list. Still, that sum is significantly less than its competitors get for the McLaren P1 or LaFerrari, both of which sell for over a million (if you can actually get on one at that price), though in fairness, production of each is limited to less than half of the 918 Spyder.
Porsche 911 tops a list of must-have classics, but No. 2 is more of a surprise
Wed, Aug 9 2023No surprise here: In Europe, the Porsche 911 is the most sought-after classic car. Surprise here: Slip-streaming the 911 in the most sought-after chart compiled by the Car & Classic marketplace is the Ford Mustang. Using the Google search engine as a means to pick the winners, as well as the average prices achieved on the “Car and Classic” website, the venerable 911 was tagged 1.45 million times per month according to data stretching back 15 years. The number of 911Â’s sold though the C&C marketplace was 21,141, at an average price of 58,409 pounds, or $74,300. FordÂ’s pony car, still a popular choice for buyers in Europe, placed second on the list with 1.2 million monthly searches. The average sales price over 15 years was 31,107 pounds ($39,570), and the number of older Mustangs sold reached a total of 8,332. Models that also finished among the charted top 10 include the Land Rover Range Rover, the Corvette, the ultra-classic British favorite Jaguar E-Type and the BMW 3 Series. “Whilst a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS could set you back the best part of GBP500,000 ($636,000), there are many more affordable models, which bring the average sale price of a 911 on Car & Classic to GBP58,000 ($73,800) – the third highest average selling price of any make and model on the site,” explained Dale Vinten of Car & Classic. According to the site, the Jaguar fetched the highest average selling price: a whopping 89,000 pounds, or $113,000. But thatÂ’s peanuts compared to a Series 1 Roadster in excellent condition, said Vinten. For that, “you can expect to spend up to GBP250,000 ($318,000), A Series 2 or 3 will cost less, as they are not as desirable, but in decent condition you can expect to pay around GBP40,000-GBP50,000. Even a barn find 1969 E-Type Series 2 Roadster can set you back to the tune of GBP33,000 ($42,000)." Launched in 2005, Car & Classic is among EuropeÂ’s most popular classic car clearinghouses. It also runs a stand-alone auction site.
