This 1968 Porsche 912 was found residing peacefully under a two story brick building in the SF Bay Area. It had one flat tire and a dead battery. Once these minor items were corrected this 912 attended the annual air cooled gathering in Concord California. It was a sweltering 90 degree day and the porsche chirped along admirably at a 65 mph clip. The shifting is lovely and the gear selection is effortless. The rear caliper heated up that day and the problem was determined to be an incorrectly installed emergency brake cable. This deficiently was resolved at Eason Motor Works were an oil change was performed in addition to a total brake bleed out. The car stops very well and the e-brake works as it should. Some minor work was done to the shifter and the 912 was then given a clean bill of health. At this time, it was also described by the lead mechanic as a "good little runner." In addition to these kudos, the 912 was also examined at the renowned Porsche Parts Hub, "Easy Porsche." Where it elicited such observations as, "Sweet," "honest," and "Nice." It was also determined at this time that the engine is a late '67 engine with '68 parts. This was described as "the best of both worlds." However the purists may disagree. The experts with which I conferred also deemed that the seats were from a '69 911, which was discouraging as the tracks will not hold the seats in place. This does not keep me from enjoying the car. Unfortunately an aftermarket stereo was installed with total disregard to maintaining the originality of the Porsche. The front door panels have been cut for speakers. The headliner has some imperfections that will need correction if you are after a perfect specimen. The dash cover has cracked and will need a redo. The body is a lovely site. I believe it has had one repaint in its original color. The driver's side door appears to have been replaced as i found some burgundy paint under the door panel. There is a dime sized door ding on the driver's side rear quarter. The rear bumper appears to sag a little and its missing it's gasket. The paint is not perfect and has some blemishes, scratches and dull spots. Don't let my criticism deter you from making your own decision. This car is spectacular in person and as I write this, has just completed a 100 miles jaunt in a wedding procession. You will not be disappointed with your purchase. The prices on this model are soaring. You may want to act quickly if this porsche experience is on your bucket list. Please check our feedback. Don't bid if your follow through is questionable. Shipping and pre-inspection is available.

Gemballa reveals new Porsche 991-based GT convertible

Sun, 16 Sep 2012

Gemballa went through the ringer last year, but rebounded with products that signal a complete turnaround. The latest is the recently-released Porsche 911 Carrera S with a Gemballa GT aerodynamics and technology package. Aero-wise, it includes carbon fiber additions beginning with a front bumper wearing the classic Gemballa air intake design and a lower, angrier splitter. New side skirts run from wheel to wheel, the final piece being a rear bumper in three sculpted horizontal sections featuring a rear diffuser tucked between six rectangular exhaust tips.
No engine mods have been made, but the technology part of the tune - springs that are 30 millimeters shorter yet still able to work with the PASM system - is claimed to make the car faster. Bringing things to a halt is a new Brembo brake system hiding behind 21-inch GForged wheels that are lighter than Porsche's standard 20-inchers.
The Gemballa GT aero kit runs €19,860 ($26,070 U.S.), which includes paint and installation if you happen to be in Germany, and we're assuming that includes the suspension modification, brakes and sport exhaust. The GForged wheels are another €9,895 ($12,989 U.S.) depending on your choice of tire. Check out the press release below for more info, and the photo gallery above for all the angles.

Porsche updates 919 Hybrid racer for 2015 season

Sun, Jan 18 2015

Porsche's grand return to the elite level of global endurance racing showed mixed success in its first year. The company did score one victory in the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship season during the race in Brazil but finished in third place overall among the three factory manufacturers. Porsche is hoping for a few more wins in 2015 and is releasing its first shots of the updated car to achieve those triumphs when things kick off in April. The team's racer is still called the 919 Hybrid, but Porsche promises this second-generation version is a "comprehensive evolution" compared to last year. The most obvious change is the redesigned front end where the styling now features a simple horizontal intake running across the front (compare to 2014, below). The nose area also now flares out to the windshield. The side grows a more complicated look, though, with a series of fins just behind the driver compartment. Porsche isn't divulging many details about anything different under the skin. The 2015 919 is still propelled by a 2.0-liter turbocharged V4, and an electric motor powers the front wheels. There are also two energy recovery systems. In addition to the previous challengers from Audi and Toyota, Porsche has one more competitor in the factory ranks this season. The Nissan GT-R LM Nismo is rumored to be a radical departure from the rest of the field with an engine possibly located in front of the driver. Read the German brand's very brief release about the updated 919 Hybrid below and click through the gallery to see how it looks. Track debut for 2015 Porsche 919 Hybrid Stuttgart. Extensive testing with the second generation of Porsche's Le Mans prototype will begin on January 18, on Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit. As scheduled, this marks the start of the 2015 motorsport season for the Porsche Team. The new Porsche 919 Hybrid has already had its roll-out on the Weissach test track. As a next step, there will be several performance and endurance tests before the WEC season opener on April 12 in Silverstone, Great Britain. The new Porsche 919 Hybrid is a comprehensive evolution of the successful car that made its debut in 2014. It will feature the same innovative drivetrain concept consisting of a 2-litre V4 turbocharged petrol engine, an electric motor powering the front wheels, and two energy recovery systems. The new generation car had its first roll-out on December 15, 2014.
