1967 912 Soft Window
Targa Red Vin 550214 Car is located in Bend Oregon I bought this car many years ago and have stored it inside,
with all my other cars I have many other Early P-Cars and haven’t had the time
to drive it much so it is time to go to a caring home. that existed are gone, the tub is solid but not a 50K Job It is better than many shops turn out and is not a bondo fix (Nor is it a Porsche Classic Body panel alignment) Seats were replaced with an original set with factory headrests, Soft window is near new Car comes with a tonneau for the rear window Engine was rebuilt and pulls very strong . I am guessing it might have 20-25 hours on the motor Compression is 130-138 on all cylinders. The previous owner stamped the motor kind of funky so I will not say its original, it puts out significantly more power than a stock motor and has a new Bursch muffler and headers. It sounds awesome The car has had a complete service, all fluids etc. have
been changed New Battery and all lights checked etc. Fuel system drained flushed and Carbs cleaned and rebuilt Brake lines re -done (brakes are at 85 percent plus) 4 new Konis all the
way around, bushing and suspension including alignment and a quick corner balance 5 Speed 901 shifts well with no wacky noises I little tough
going into first at speed but not at rest It had a bad set of pitted Brazilians so I replaced with
knock off 5.5x15 Fuchs I can put on Steel wheels or 5.5 Fuchs or 6 Inch Fuchs So new Yokohama sports were fitted. these fuch look a likes
really look nice and handle well. I do not remember about the clock but everything else but the radio is working All locks are keyed correctly I would rate this car as a 3+ great 2-3 foot driver, If a
Porsche expert wants to find it’s faults well there are always ones that are
better. Soft Window Targa’s are rare and I have owned ( and still own other
examples ) they are going to appreciate as they will cruise at 80 and handles
very well. To me the targa on and back window down on a hot day is blast and
more fun than most open cars !! The guys who did the work are well respected and I have no problem giving you references and put you in contact with them for more info The 80 or so pics are a good indication of the car flaws and
all. At 47 Yrs old it get a huge amount of attention and get thumbs up and
questions every time its driven I am not a dealer but a hobbiest and have way too many cars,
I will never have time to drive this much. With College coming up for my kids I am thinning the herd a
bit , If you are looking for a driver quality car that brings a smile to your face this is it, the 912 soft window is like driving a Speedster/356 cab without spending $150K This same car in a 911 would command over $120K Yes It has taken peoples choice and other awards at shows,
but the Guys who did the refresh have worked on Pebble Beach show cars that
have sold for over $250K Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the Auction Early |

Automakers paying Chinese dealers for lower-than-expected sales
Sat, Jan 10 2015The Chinese dealers vs. foreign manufacturers story won't quit. It began with a story on the struggles faced by FAW-Toyota joint venture dealers, with supposedly 95 percent of the showrooms losing money, and 10 percent of them doing so poorly that they'd have to exit the business. The problem is mandated sales targets, most set when the country's economy was racing. Now that things have slowed, China's dealers are swimming in unsold cars and the costs to keep them. In the case of FAW-Toyota, dealers asked Toyota to hand over 2.2 billion yuan ($355 million) to help address the situation. That was followed by a report noting the issues that Honda, BMW, and Nissan dealers are having with the same issue, revealing that the Chinese Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) had taken the highly unusual step of writing to the Chinese government to complain. Now Reuters reports that CADA is not only pressing its case even harder, it's being open about it: it announced that BMW agreed to pay dealers 5.1 billion yuan ($820 million) to alleviate poor profits last year. Unnamed sources said Audi has thrown 2 billion yuan into the kitty for subsidies, and Daimler has contributed "about 1 billion yuan" to its dealers. The battle isn't just about 2014, but how business will be run in 2015 as well: Chinese Porsche dealers have requested the automaker lower its 2015 target of 64,000 cars, which would be a 40-percent increase on its 2014 sales of 46,931 vehicles. One analyst called it "shocking" that the CADA has taken its fight public, while CADA comments continue to imply that dealers have been railroaded to the cliff's edge without recourse. "Due to the difference in status," it's deputy secretary said, "individual dealers are not willing to, or don't dare to, talk frankly with the carmakers...." Both parties need one another, so they'll figure out a way to make it work – but that could mean acknowledging the Chinese market is behaving more like a mature one, not an emerging one.

Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.
