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 |

Porsche to develop new line of engines for next Panamera
Sat, 22 Mar 2014When the second generation of the four-door Porsche Panamera launches, it will likely be riding a new platform, complete with an all-new family of V6 and V8 engines, according to a report coming out of the UK.
Autocar reports that the so-called MSB platform will likely underpin the Panamera, and it could be shared with Bentley, provided the Volkswagen-owned, British-built brand commits to the architecture. As for the engines, it's reported that they'll have a sportier character than the V6s and V8s being built for Volkswagen and Audi's vehicles.
"Porsche will have its own new V8 that will be common to the new MSB platform," Porsche's chief engineer, Wolfgang Hatz, said. "It's a family for the next 10 years of cars." Whether the V8 and V6 will be used outside of the Panamera line, though, remains unclear. There's also no mention of what place turbocharging would have with the new engines.
24 Hours of Le Mans an on-and-off love affair
Mon, 24 Jun 2013There was little usual about this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans - intermittent rain in the weeks before the race meant cars didn't get on track as much as they wanted, and intermittent rain during the race meant cars went off track a lot more than they wanted. The race started with a wet track, and one of the records broken because of the random downpours was the number of times the safety car led the field - 11 times this year - although the record of two hours and 53 minutes of lapping behind the safety car, set in 2011, was not eclipsed.
None of that served to dampen the action. With little more than an hour left in the race there were cars still only a few seconds apart fighting for position, leads still changing because of pit stops and everyone drafting anyone they could.
Things didn't go the usual way up front, either - well, not exactly...
Porsche Macan caught completely uncovered
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Porsche is preparing to launch its sub-Cayenne CUV, with a suspected debut at the 2013 Los Angeles International Auto Show, which means we're right about at the point where undisguised models start scampering around the cities and towns of Germany. Our spy photographers snagged just such a model, with only the headlights and taillights concealed by camouflage (no, those comically large lamps aren't a production item).
The undisguised car looks like a tiny Cayenne. Not really surprising, we know, but it's impressive to see how the Cayenne's styling works with the smaller proportions of the Macan. It looks squat, athletic and poised, like it's a small, "sporty" crossover we'd actually want to drive. Both the Macan and the Macan Turbo are shown, with the more powerful model sporting a set of quad exhausts.
The only big questions now concern the shape of the lights and the interior. From the photos, we can see a rough outline of the headlights, although the taillights are more difficult to discern. The interior remains a mystery.
