1968 912 Soft Window Targa
11870181 Engine number 1280763 4 speed Transmission Light Ivory with Red vinyl interior 34,988 miles, yes just 34,988 miles I purchased the car to restore and keep in my collection. The original owner sold me his car in 2010, and I have just recently completed the comprehensive restoration. The car was purchased on the European delivery program, driven in Europe, shipped to New York, and driven to California. The owner was an Engineer who drove the car sparingly for about 10 years. He then took what was to be a temporary job in Asia, and ended up staying for 30 years. The car sat unused for the 30 years. This original black plate California car never had any rust, accidents, or was ever taken apart before I began the restoration in 2011. In my 30 years of Porsche Restorations I have never seen such a straight rust free example. Unfortunately the rubber, trim, lights, lenses, and interior did not fare so well sitting in the California sun. The following is a list of most of the things I have done:
A 35K mile 912 does not drive like a tired 40 year old one. It is an absolute pleasure to drive, running, shifting, and braking like a new 912 would have. When will another 912 with this kind of history and work done to it ever become available again? I unfortunately need to sell one car from my collection. I also have for sale a 1985 911 Carrera M491 car. When one sells the other will be taken off the market. This car does not smoke and does not drip oil and is ready for 50 more years of driving enjoyment. I have been selling Porsche cars on ebay for 15 years and have over 190 positive feedbacks and one negative. The negative came from a buyer clicking on the buy it now without doing any inspection or even asking questions and was unhappy that a 30 year old 911 was not mechanically perfect. Please ask your questions before bidding. I can take any other picture you may request. Reputable shops are available to perform a PPI at the buyers expense The car is advertised locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time Cal Weber 949 212-4834 Orange County, CA I can help arrange international shipping. I have a very reasonable reserve on this car |

'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you
Fri, 03 May 2013The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
2015 Porsche 918 Spyder: Touring the factory
Wed, Dec 3 2014Willy Wonka granted just five lucky Golden Ticket holders access to his incredible chocolate factory, yet we consider ourselves just as fortunate, as Porsche invited us to be among the first of just four American journalists to see behind the closed doors of its 918 Spyder assembly plant in Zuffenhausen, Germany. Of course, there were no Oompa Loompas or flowing chocolate rivers, but the vast white hall tasked with producing only 918 examples of the automaker's limited-production flagship revealed details that make Wonka's Golden Egg sorting room seem rather mundane in comparison. Unlike a traditional automobile manufacturing plant, which often encompass all processes of making a vehicle (e.g., stamping steel panels, welding components and painting), the 918 Spyder is built in an assembly plant. This means that hundreds of already manufactured parts, each crafted by Porsche offsite suppliers, are brought under one roof to be assembled into a perfectly finished product that is much sweeter – and far more expensive – than any candy delicacy. Our tour guide was Michael Drolshagen, Porsche's Director of Production, Logistics and Quality - a walking encyclopedia when it comes to the engineering and assembly of the 918 Spyder. Drolshagen generously offered us unrestricted access to walk among the factory's 110 workers – and a couple-dozen vehicles in process – to photograph everything. This is a story best told with pictures, so we've put together a raft of our best images in a high-resolution gallery and captioned each with a detailed description. If you've still got questions, please voice them in Comments section and we'll do our best to answer.
Matthias Muller officially named VW Group CEO
Fri, Sep 25 2015While the vast number of rumors made it seem like a foregone conclusion, Porsche boss Matthias Muller has officially been named Volkswagen Group CEO to replace the recently resigned Martin Winterkorn. His contract runs through the end of February 2020, and until a replacement is found, Muller also gets to hang onto his old job as chairman of Porsche. At the same time, the VW Group Supervisory Board is announcing a massive structural reorganization across the entire company, with the new management model in place by the beginning of 2016. Contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. The board wants a greater emphasis on brands and regions going forward, and the scale of this shift can be seen in the US. On November 1, VW Group business in the US, Mexico, and Canada is being combined under the leadership of current Skoda chairman Winfried Vahland. However contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. Other brands are also seeing some significant changes mechanically. Porsche, Bentley, and Bugatti now fall under the Group's "sportscar and mid-engine toolkit." This means that the brands will start sharing standardized technical parts. A Chief Technical Officer across all of the company's brands will also start working toward future innovations. The new brand-centric view means the end of a group-wide production department. "Going forward, the brands and regions will also have greater independence with regard to production. So it follows that they should also hold the responsibility for these activities," Berthold Huber, interim Chairman of the Supervisory Board, said in the announcement. In a statement with the press release about his promotion, Muller promised to turn the company around after such an international crisis. He said: "My most urgent task is to win back trust for the Volkswagen Group – by leaving no stone unturned and with maximum transparency, as well as drawing the right conclusions from the current situation. Under my leadership, Volkswagen will do everything it can to develop and implement the most stringent compliance and governance standards in our industry." Matthias Muller appointed CEO of the Volkswagen Group Muller remains Chairman of Porsche AG until a successor has been found Matthias Muller (62) has been appointed CEO of Volkswagen AG with immediate effect.
