Chassis #12800771

Engine # 754748

Gearbox # 902/02 1280825

Paint Code: 15163

A 1968 Porsche 912 Karmann Coupe, burgundy with a black interior, 5 speed gearbox. 110,000 miles on the odometer. The car just came out of a long term ownership. It was off the road for a while. I was told by the previous owner that the engine was completely rebuilt some years ago, although I do not have any records to back up this claim.

The front floors look good but there is rust holes on the rear area including the floors as you can see in the pictures. There are some rust bubbles by the top of the drivers’ side fender and the passenger side rear fender. The paint has some blemishes. Glass is good all the way around.

The interior seems to be all original but there are cracks on the seats and it is showing its age.

1968 Porsche 912 factory paint code reads 15163-L. This is not only a unique and special order color for this 912 but is a rare and unique car since Porsche didn't have a paint code of 15163 in 1968. The COA states that it was Champagne Yellow, a special ordered paint with paint code 16153. Since this was a special ordered paint, when they stamped the factory paint plate "kunstharzlack" they transposed the numbers. This is a unique mistake and one that never seemed to happen at the Porsche factory nor go un-noticed at the Porsche production facility. With our research, this seems to be the only car we have found that has this unique characteristic. You can still see the original Champagne Yellow color through many spots on the car.

Mechanically, we just got the car running and driving but it is not roadworthy. Comes with spare tire and jack.

An excellent candidate for cosmetic restoration. These 912 SWB’s are appreciating in value rapidly.

Porsche announces plan to replace 911 GT3 engines

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

About a month back, we reported that Porsche was suspending delivery of its 911 GT3 due to reported incidents of the engine bursting into flames. A few days later, Porsche told owners of the new track-ready models not to drive their cars and had their local dealers pick up the cars in question. Just a couple of days ago, we reported that Porsche was working on a fix, and now we have the official details.
Following an internal investigation prompted by two such incidents, Porsche has confirmed that is has identified the problem as resulting "from a loosened screw joint on the connecting rod." The loose connecting rod, Porsche found, damaged the crankcase, which in turn resulted in oil leaking and then - in at least two cases - igniting.
Our source is unaware of Porsche being contacted by GT3 owners concerned about the impact of a replacement engine on their car's collectibility or resale value.

2014 Porsche 911 Targa

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

I've watched the electro-hydraulic roof panel open and close about 73 times in the past hour, but its fascinatingly complicated operation still has me mesmerized. I've concluded that only a German automaker - Porsche, to be more specific - would go through the trouble of engineering a roof system that essentially lifts the entire greenhouse off a vehicle, rearranges its components like a sliding-tile puzzle, and then reassembles all of them seamlessly (sans roof panel) to accurately recreate one of its most famed bodystyles.
The 2014 Porsche 911 Targa is a near-perfect modern interpretation of the automaker's 1965 911 Targa, a semi-convertible bodystyle that represents nearly 13 percent of all 911 models sold since production started 50 years ago. While the early car's roof was purely manual in operation - that's the period-correct way of saying that the driver did all of the muscle work - today's Targa is a completely automated transformation that requires only that the driver hold down a cabin-mounted switch for a mere 19 seconds to let the captivating show run its course.
After studying the Targa's elaborate roof operation at its launch at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, I was sufficiently intrigued. To that end, I traveled one-third of the way around the planet to southern Italy, hoping that the Mediterranean climate would reveal a bit more about the reintroduction of the automaker's iconic sports car.

Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
