Unique opportunity to complete your own Porsche restoration. All of the hard work is done: disassembly, rust mitigation, body work and paint work. The suspension has been repainted, new bushings installed, hardware re-plated and installed. The balance of the project will be reassembly. Almost every part has been rebuilt, refurbished or purchased new. I have all receipts for parts purchased and for the rebuilding or refurbishing of various systems. For a pictorial narrative of our project please Google "Lunde Porsche Project".
Below is a list of work to date: Body - Entire body stripped to bare metal by top-tier Porsche restoration shop here in Denver. Front steering pan and battery box replaced with original Porsche stampings. Additionally, both floor pans replaced by drilling out over 200 spot welds and re-installing Porsche floor pans. Body was stripped to bare metal and finished to a very high level. Paint is original Pastel Blue as ordered from the factory. Engine - Original engine disassembled and carefully packed in container. Needs complete rebuild. A recently rebuilt 1969 912 motor is included with the purchase. The 1969 motor has been inspected and verified as in excellent running condition by a factory trained Porsche mechanic. Report included with purchase. Transmission - Original 4-speed is included with purchase but internal condition unknown. A recently rebuilt 1967 5-speed is included with the purchase. This transmission was sourced here in Denver from a local PCA member who had the unit professionally rebuilt prior to selling it to me. Brakes - All four calipers have been rebuilt and painted. Rotors are near new and within spec. Braided stainless steel hoses are included. Wheel & Tires - 6j x 15" Fuchs wheels in excellent, mildly refurbished condition are included. Tires need to be replaced. Pedal Cluster & Shifter linkage - Both systems have been completely rebuilt, including re-plating pedal assembly before re-assembly. Gas Tank - Original gas tank shows no leaks but needs to be flushed and sealed. Windshield & Other Glass - Purchaser will need to source a new windshield. Side windows, quarter glass and rear glass are in very good condition. Interior Vinyl - Headliner has been replaced with original German vinyl by well known interior restoration shop. The balance of the interior parts, upper and lower dash, headliner, parcel shelf, rear seats, door panels, rear side panels are either in excellent original condition or have been refurbished (in German vinyl) by interior restoration shop with the exception of the seats. The original vinyl seats need complete restoration but an outstanding pair of full leather 1973 911 seats are included with the purchase. Instrumentation - All instruments, tach, speedo and multi-gauge, have been rebuilt by a VDO specialist. The clock was cleaned but is not operable. Miscellaneous - Original hard-to-find parts are present or have been sourced, such as the original break-away rear view mirror and rear quarter window latches. Nearly every rubber, seal, grommet, gasket, decal, etc. has been recently purchased. Two new Durrant mirrors, a new Hirchmann antenna, new drive axles, windshield washer motor and related check valves and hoses are included. Door handles have been re-chromed and ready for re-assembly. Nearly every original nut and bolt and micellaneous parts have been cleaned and professionally re-plated to factory original appearance. All nuts and bolts have been sorted, labeled and bagged for ease of reassembly. |

China may surpass US as Porsche's largest market this year thanks to Cayenne
Thu, 09 Oct 2014China has already surpassed the United States as the world's largest automotive market, so it's no surprise that one day soon it will be the world's largest Porsche market.
In fact, that day may already be here, as the PRC's Porschephiles outbought their American counterparts in September. Porsche's Chinese dealers sold 4,344 cars last month to America's 3,607. Through all of 2014 so far, though, the US is still the larger market for the German brand.
"The U.S. performed very well this year, after a great year in 2013, but China is growing fast, thanks to the Cayenne which is our best seller there," Porsche's sales and marketing boss, Bernhard Maier, told Automotive News Europe.
McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 vs Ducati 1199 Superleggera in epic standing-mile drag race
Fri, 10 Oct 2014We live in a high-tech supercar renaissance, with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari all duking it out for performance supremacy. All three members of this power trio place the engine behind the driver and use some kind of hybrid assist. However, each one finds a slightly different way to make that setup work. While all of the tech is insanely cool, let's just admit that we are all really wondering which one is the quickest and which is the fastest. Autocar aims to find out in a new video pitting two of them against a surprise challenger in the standing mile.
Unfortunately, the race is missing the Ferrari, despite Autocar's best efforts. So instead, it has another limited-edition, high-performance vehicle from Italy in the form of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. The bike has just two cylinders, but at 1.2-liters of displacement, it makes over 200 horsepower, and all that gumption is packaged into a magnesium monocoque body with carbon fiber bodywork to keep weight low. Granted, the cycle is going up against the 875-hp Porsche and 903-hp McLaren, but traction, aerodynamics and gearing all play a part in this fascinating video.
There's no sense in ruining the winner before watching, but Autocar teases that the finish is one of its closest drag races ever. Check out the video to find out just what that means.
Porsche 911 Cabriolet refresh may hide new engine
Wed, 22 Jan 2014If we learned nothing else from our recent frolic through Porsche's secret museum, it's that the automaker goes to incredible lengths to disguise future products during initial testing. Just as a number of cars in that Stuttgart bunker hid the true identity of developmental mules (like the Audi-V8-powered 911), such could very well be the case with these spy shots showing what, on the surface, appears to be simply a facelifted 991 911 Cabriolet.
Similar to what we saw last month on a 911 coupe, this Cabriolet has obvious styling modifications made to the front and rear fascias suggesting that the 911's still-fresh appearance is already set to get a few tweaks. The big news here is at the rear of the car. The additional vents on the lower edge of the fascia and the mocked-up vent above the engine leads our spy photographer to believe that a new engine could be tucked under the body work - likely a smaller-displacement, turbocharged flat-six focusing more on improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions rather than performance.
We last heard rumblings of such a detuned 911 back in August, but could this be our first look at said new model? Have a look for yourself, and let us know what you think - either about this mule specifically or the idea of a "green" 911, in Comments below.
