This is a 1968 Porsche 912. I consider this car a project at this time. It has some rust areas but in my opinion is worth saving. It is a late 1968 model and is a long wheelbase car. The car is fairly complete minus the engine which was replaced by a VW based type 3 1600 engine with dual single barrel solex carburetors. I do not have the original engine. This car was a driver 3 years ago and I did drive it but has sat outside since then. I have not attempted to drive the car and it would need to be trailered. And again I feel it is a project car.

Lets start with the good. Clear Florida title. Car has original steel wheels and hub caps, including spare, and jack. Original interior in decent shape, houndstooth insert seats that have a few small tears in them. Seat belts and some of its carpet (unfortunately not all), 5 gauge dash. It looks as though the dash was taken off, leather removed and covered with a painted fiberglass?, not sure but it looks good. All glass is original minus the windshield. All mirrors, trim, badge, emblems are all present. Wheel wells are pretty clean front and rear. Chrome is good on the car. Original 5 speed transmission that shifts smoothly. Doors and door bottoms are in good shape, body is straight. Hood and deck lid are in good shape. Car was originally silver and still shows areas of silver but also areas of primer.

Now for the bad. It is missing its original engine. The VW type 3 engine was placed in and tin work done to seal the engine bay. No alterations to the engine bay were done. It does have some typical rust issues. Patch work on the floorpans have been done. Rear corner lowers of The front bumper is rusted beyond repair and will need to be replaced. The front apron is slightly rusted along with the a small section of the battery tray but the front fenders are in good shape and front trunk area is clean and rust free. It has a nice smugglers box area. Some rust under the right rear seat area.

I had the notion in me to part the car as I have several projects/ running cars but I feel that the car is in good enough shape to have something done with it besides parting it.

I reserve the right to stop the auction at anytime. If you are local and would like to come and see the car, I am more than happy to help any way that I can. I will not toe the car somewhere to have it looked at though. It is a no reserve auction.

Long hood early cars are getting harder to find complete. Does this one need some love? Of coarse it does, thats the fun in it, right?

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers

Sun, Oct 8 2017

Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?

Amelia Island 2013: Porsche 911 swarms the field marking 50 years of rear-engine goodness

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Perhaps one of the most iconic sports cars in the world, it was no surprise that the Porsche 911 showed up in numbers to the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. Although the original 911 launched 50 years ago, the original and current models are instantly recognizable as 911s, and since the 911 has a storied racing background, there were probably just as many racing versions of the coupe as there were street-legal versions.
As the show's 2013 honoree, one of the prime racing examples was a 1970 Porsche 911 S raced by Sam Posey. There were so many cars in attendance, we didn't know where to look, but a 1985 911 Speedster concept and a Porsche-owned, rally-ready 911 Type 953 were definitely among the more impressive standouts. As an added bonus, Jacksonville-based Brumos Porsche had many of its classic racecars on display including a beautiful 959.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS getting all-new atmospheric engine

Thu, Jan 15 2015

Porsche surprised many of its most puritanical enthusiasts when it took a decidedly more usable approach with the current 911 GT3. But when the new GT3 RS debuts, it promises to be a much more extreme departure. And a big part of that comes down to the engine. At the Detroit Auto Show this week, Auto Express spoke with Porsche R&D chief Wolfgang Hatz – who also happens to be head of engine and transmission development for the entire Volkswagen group. Hatz revealed that Porsche has developed a completely new engine for the GT3 RS, and while previous rumors suggested the RS would go turbo to fill in for the lack of a GT2 (and make the most out of its displacement), Hatz confirmed that it will be naturally aspirated. Considering that Porsche rarely goes downwards when it comes to 911 engine displacement, only upwards, we'd expect the new RS to pick up where the previous 4.0 left off. The new GT3 RS is also expected to pack a more extreme suspension, aero and stripped-out interior, but those hoping for an old-school approach may be disappointed to learn that the new RS will (at least at launch) only be available with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission Â– though a manual version could follow if there's enough demand. In a related development, Hatz also hinted that the Cayman GT4 could debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, with an even more extreme approach than the previous Cayman R. The new top-of-the-line Cayman is reportedly being developed to comply with GT4 class racing regulations but be fully homologated for road use. Related Video:
