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.

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 Porsche 911s to get turbos in 2015?
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Currently, Porsche builds two turbocharged 911s - the Turbo and the Turbo S (and their cabriolet counterparts). The rest of the 911 range, meanwhile, is motivated by either 3.4- or 3.8-liter flat-sixes of varying outputs. This clear separation could be set to change in the very near future, though, as rumors continue to swirl that Porsche's rear-engined range could switch exclusively to turbocharged power.
This time, it's Car projecting that the 911 range will go turbocharged as part of a mid-cycle refresh, with the base Carrera's 3.4-liter dropping to 2.9 liters and adding an iron lung, bumping the entry level 911 up to 400 horsepower. Yes, a 400-horsepower, entry level 911. The Carrera S, meanwhile, will retain its 3.8-liter engine, but will also benefit from turbocharging, increasing output to 530 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. So basically, it sounds like the current, 520-hp 911 Turbo will become the next Carrera S.
What does that mean for Porsche's traditional high-performance models? Well, it's a safe bet that the Turbo, Turbo S and eventual GT2 will be producing seriously huge power figures. Based on pure speculation, we wouldn't be shocked to see a 600-hp Turbo, with the S and GT2 increasing output markedly from there.
Porsche 912 is no longer the brand's black sheep
Fri, Dec 12 2014If you haven't looked recently, prices for many vintage Porsche 911s are now well out of the realm for mortal men to purchase. However, the growing values have their advantages because they mean that the 912 is being better accepted as a member of the Porsche family. In a new video, Petrolicious talks to one owner about his mildly modified example while the coupe zips through the backroads and city streets of France. Launched around the time of the 911, the 912 shared its body but retained the four-cylinder engine from the 356, rather than the new six. The older mill helped make the 912 cheaper to buy, but it also tarnished the coupe in the eyes of Porsche fans for years. Much like the four-cylinder 914 and 924, the 912 just seemed like a black sheep in the shadow of its more powerful brother. Following two massive changes to his life, Julien Borne bought a 1967 912 as a project to get back on the road. After hours of welding, wrenching and beating out panels by hand in his grandparents' neglected country house, he crafted this gorgeous example. Check out the video to hear his story, as Petrolicious shows why the model's stigma is wearing off.
Watch 14 hot rides take over concept car lawn at Pebble Beach
Sun, Aug 16 2015The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is an annual celebration of the beautiful, old cars that grace Monterey Car Week. But Monterey – and Pebble – features lots of newer metal, too, and that includes the concept lawn at Pebble Beach. Now, "concept lawn" isn't a totally accurate name anymore, and you'll see why in the list below. This year especially, plenty of production cars can be found in the area once reserved for the conceptual. Still, we're happy to see them. Here's what's featured this year: Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Audi R8 BAC Mono Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R Buick Avenir Galpin-Fisker Rocket Speedster Hyundai HCD-16 Vision G Coupe Icona Volcano Infiniti Q60 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 Maserati Ghibli McLaren 570S Rolls-Royce Wraith By our count, that's seven concepts out of fourteen cars. But it still makes for one hot group of metal. Check 'em out in the gallery above.
