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.

First-ever Porsche headed home to company museum

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

About 30 years before Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen Beetle, he created the Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, C.2 Phaeton model - or simply, the P1 - you see above. This was the first vehicle created by Porsche, and the car gets its nickname from the fact that he had stamped "P1" on many of the parts marking it as the first Porsche... sorry, 356 No. 1.
Now while you'd think that such an important piece of Porsche heritage has been in a museum or even the automaker's not-so-secret lair, it has actually been sitting at a warehouse for the last 112 years. Thankfully, that's all about to change as Porsche has recovered P1, and the car will soon be on "permanent display" at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
The P1 has a 3 horsepower motor capable of delivering a top speed of 21 miles per hour and a driving range of 49 miles, and, like many vehicles in Porsche's history, the motor is positioned at the rear of the vehicle. According to the press release posted below, the P1 finished first in a 24-mile electric vehicle race in Berlin in 1899, but it has been sitting since 1902.

Porsche Boxster Spyder GT4 under consideration

Tue, Apr 14 2015

Apparently, the Porsche Boxster Spyder will not be the ultimate example of the breed, after reports have surfaced indicating that Porsche is considering an even hotter roadster after seeing strong demand for the all-new Cayman GT4. The new lightweight Boxster was just unveiled a few weeks back at the 2015 New York Auto Show, showing a 3.8-liter flat-six, just like the Cayman GT4. It's without a number of GT4-specific components, though. According to Autocar, a Boxster Spyder GT4, if it were built, would benefit from the same 911 GT3-inspired adjustable front suspension, a unique rear suspension, GT3-spec brakes and a new aerodynamic kit. "We are looking at it right now," a source within Porsche told Autocar. "Much of the engineering has already been done for the Cayman, so we think this might be a good direction for us."

Porsche boss admits Panamera's style is offputting

Sat, 11 Oct 2014

"There have been some small mistakes and we will do it better. For example the design could be better." - Matthias Mueller.
The design of the Porsche Panamera has been divisive, to say the least. Pretty much any Porsche with four doors was going to draw the ire of enthusiasts, but the fast-back-style roofline, prominent curves and seemingly never-ending hood have particularly irked some brand loyalists.
