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.

Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

Editors' Picks June 2024: Some German SUVs and an excellent sports car
Fri, Jul 5 2024This month sees some recently-refreshed luxury SUVs join the list of Editors' Picks. Both the BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne are fresh for 2024, and both are extremely tempting luxury performance SUVs for the well-off buyer. The vast array of powertrains available for both of them ensure there's a version for all comers, and any enthusiast would adore the extra-high-performance versions of both. Of course, enthusiasts will enjoy the last car on this month's list the most with the Lotus Emira. It's simply spectacular to drive, and we can't recommend it enough to the hardcore driver. In case you missed previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. You'll find the entire list of Editors' Picks at this link here, which we keep updated as cars are either added or dropped from the list. The vehicles youÂ’ll find below consist of every car we rated in June that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2024 BMW X5 2024 BMW X5 M Competition View 41 Photos Quick take: The X5 is most desirable in its PHEV and M60i V8 trims, but the whole lineup is extremely competent and brings together excellent performance, excess luxury and cutting-edge tech for its segment. Score: 7.5 What it competes with: Mercedes-Benz GLE, Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover Sport, Maserati Levante, Genesis GV80, Audi Q8 Pros: Superb to drive with knockout powertrains; excellent utility and creative features; styling is sporty and attractive but not over the top Cons: Infotainment system can be a pain; M Competition model is a little over the top; gets pricey quick with options From the editors: Senior Editor, Electric John Beltz Snyder — "I really like the dual-opening liftgate/tailgate combo. The liftgate portion up top opens quickly, allowing you to throw something inside or grab something out of the back. Flipping down the lower tailgate part gives you a nice place to sit and change shoes. Another benefit is that you can open the liftgate without unsecured items immediately falling out. And with the way the X5 M Competition encourages you to drive it hard, you will end up shifting loose cargo around at some point." Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "I'd snag the X5 M60i out of all the various X5 variants.
Jay Leno welcomes finely rebuilt Porsche 356 into his garage
Wed, 15 Jan 2014Not a month after the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer visited Jay Leno's garage, another artfully restored Porsche has rolled in. This time it's a 1957 Porsche 356A Outlaw, the "outlaw" moniker referring to Porsches that have been restored outside the bounds of period-correct orthodoxy.
This 356A was literally done from the ground up by Michigander Chuck Olenyk, the floor of the car having fallen apart so badly that he couldn't remove the roof at first since it was holding the vehicle together. Olenyk said that of the 2000 hours over seven years that he spent restoring the car, 500 were spent just on repairing the rust. That's undoubtedly some of the reason why when he tried to sell the unrestored car as a roller in the nineties for $1,000, no one would take it off his hands.
Olenyk fitted a mildly tuned engine from a Porsche 912, the transmission from a 356B, the brakes from a 356C, Fuchs mags and a modified replicar Speedster roof from Intermecchnica. It lacks nothing even with just 115 horsepower, and it adds to that with charm and aural appeal. You can see and hear the full story in the video below.
