1967 Porsche 912 Coupe. Same Family Since New.calif. Car.super Clean. on 2040-cars
Newbury Park, California, United States
I am finally ready to part with my 1967 Porsche 912 coupe.This car was purchased by my Grandfather new in '67 from Ogner Porsche in Burbank and has always been a So Cal car. I purchased it from my father almost 30 years ago and then it got put on the back burner once my family started growing. Over the last several years I finally was able to complete it to what it is now.
The overall condition of the car is very nice, very clean and well detailed. This is a black plate car with a clean title. It is a 5 gauge, 4 speed car with almost 87000 original miles. As for what has been done to the car here is a brief description. The car has been repainted the original Sand Beige color a few years ago using OEM Glasurit paint. The interior has been redone in original style upholstery(not leather), new headliner and original Perlon carpet. The cars original rubber floor mats are still there and are in excellent condition. The only thing not working in the interior is the clock, and the original radio is there but is not operable since I removed the dash speaker when the dash was recovered(who needs a radio when your driving this car). All the body rubbers and seals have been replaced except for the doorhandle seals, mirror seal and two rubbers on the deck lid which are in excellent shape. Other than those all seals are new. The pedal bushings and shifter bushing are new. I made aluminum foot boards to replace the plywood ones. All the suspension has been gone through. New lower ball joints,steering ends,bump steer kit,Bilstein strut inserts,Koni's in the rear,adjustable spring plates and new spring plate bushings. The car has been lowered and looks and handles very nice. All the calipers have been rebuilt and work beautifully. It has all stainless braided brake lines, new master cylinder and reservoir and light switch. It sports real Fuchs with new Goodyear Eagle RS-A 195/60 15 tires. All the trim and wheels have been blacked out which gives the car a more modern outlaw look and it goes really well with the cars color. All the electrical works and it has a new fuel sender,voltage regulator,starter and I installed an electric rotary fuel pump which is hidden in the smugglers box. The original fuel pump is still in place but I took out the internals so it keeps the original look and doesn't leave a big empty space.
The motor was rebuilt with a big bore kit. I have just installed new Webers and a Bursch exhaust. It has a new clutch and throw out bearing. I replaced the headlight lenses with fluted lenses rather than the plain stock one purely for aesthetics. It has the original jack and tool kit in its original roll. It has the original owners manual in its pouch,the original tire pressure gauge and touch up bottle from when my Grandfather owned it. I even have the original window sticker and paperwork from when it was purchased along with the radio and antenna paperwork. It apparently was an accessory. I am including most of the original parts with the car because I feel they should stay with the car. This includes the solex carbs and original air cleaners and K&N filters for the solex's,headlight lenses, the original chrome wheels and hubcaps(wheels are all date matched),spring plates and some other misc. parts.
As for what the car needs or has wrong with it. The hood struts are new but still cant hold up the hood, there is no windshield washer pump(never there as long as i can remember) but has all the other parts. One of the heater cables is broken. There is a couple of touch up spots from assembly(nothing major). And since the Webers are new and I am running them straight out of the box they could probably use some fiddling. The floors are rust free but have a couple indents where a jack was used and those are right in the center of the floor but purely cosmetic. This car is being sold with no warranty either expressed or implied.
I know someone is going to be very happy with this car and enjoy it for many years. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. If you are near Ventura County CA please feel free to inspect the car. All shipping will be the responsibility of the purchaser but I will assist in in any way I can on my end. A $1000 deposit is required at the end of the auction. Thank You and enjoy.

Jack Olsen built a Porsche 911 to drive every day and conquer Willow Springs
Mon, Dec 15 2014Almost two years ago we wrote about the 12-Gauge Garage Jack Olsen built to house his multifarious Porsche 911 - its 1972 bodywork hides four decades of Porsche parts, like the transaxle from a 1977 911 and the engine from 1995 911, for example. It weighs 2,400 pounds and has 272 horsepower, and Olsen uses it daily driving and for track days, the latter excursions featuring homemade, bolt-on aero parts. German magazine Auto Bild stopped by Olsen's house to look in on the Porsche called "Black Beauty II," and we get a few more details about the mods he's made, like swapping out for fiberglass body panels and welding Fuchs wheel centers to wider Corvette barrels so he could run different tires. Most importantly, though, Olsen divulges his passion for lowering his lap time at Willow Springs. Randy Pobst set the lap record for a production car around the 2.5-mile Big Willow track in a Porsche 918 Spyder at 1:23.54 during a Motor Trend test (the outright record, according to Willow Springs, is held by Michael Andretti at 1:06.050 in a CART car). Further down the list, Steve Millen drove a 415-hp 911 GT3 RS around the same track in 1:33.14 - a car 600 pounds heavier than Olsen's. Over the past 14 years of tinkering with his car, Olsen says his data shows his lap time is now down to 1:26.88, achieved on the day of filming the Auto Bild video. That time would put him in between the 1:26 flat posted by Dominik Farnbacher in a 608-hp Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR and the 1:28.93 put up by Pobst in a 400-hp, 991-series 911. You can hear Olsen tell it in his own words in the video.
Will Roegge makes 4K art of Jeff Zwart's 911 build and run up Pikes Peak
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Will Roegge has turned his camera on Jeff Zwart and provided another gem, this time documenting Zwart's run up Pikes Peak and BBI Autosport. Bertim Besha dropped out of high school, then worked his way up to founding his own shop, BBI, that gathers a crew of tuners who are just as fastidious about their work as the customers are about their cars.
They prepped the 991-series Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Turbo, the product of combining a 911 GT2 that was the most powerful car Zwart drove up the mountain with a GT3 Cup that Zwart thought had the best handling. Two TiAL turbos and a lot of fettling make for a 3.8-liter flat-six with 700 horsepower, 700 pound-feet of torque and a 7,800-rpm redline. Zwart drove it to a heartbreaking second place this year, finishing less than 1.2 seconds behind the Time Attack 1 class winner when his car suffered its first mechanical issue of the week.
The first video below covers Besha, BBI and the build, the second is Zwart's run. As if the visuals weren't enough, sit back and enjoy the shrieking of the "Hill Climb Special," which is what the constellation Sirius would sound like if it could bark.
'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers
Tue, May 30 2017A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.
