1969 Porsche 912 Factory A/c No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1969 Mileage:37279
Location:

Richmond, Indiana, United States

Richmond, Indiana, United States

 This is a 1969 Porsche 912 that I rescued after sitting in a garage for 25 years.
It is a perfect winter restoration project.

The odometer reading is 37279, but it has not worked since I owned it. True mileage is unknown.
The speedometer and tachometer, low fuel and warning lights, dash lights, turn signals DO work.
The fuel gauge, clock, and horn DON'T work.
The wipers DON'T work, but I have motor and drag arms from a 1972, 911 that I will include in this sale.


New parts:
Sach's clutch,  pressure plate, throw out bearing, fork guides and bushing.
Shift rod coupler bushings
Changed oil in transmission.
Points, plugs, and condenser, distributor cap and button.
Rebuilt fuel pump with new parts.
Installed a refurbished gas tank from a Porsche dealer.
Some new brake lines.
Four new tires mounted on original Fuch rims from a 1972 Porsche 911.

I have done no mechanical work to the motor myself, but at some point someone has put dual Weber carbs on it.

I patched some holes in the passenger side floor pan with sheet metal and fiberglass just to strengthen it.

This car came stock with factory air conditioning. It has been disconnected.

When getting off the interstate, and sometimes in town, it will backfire. Porsche mechanic believes the carburetors need attention
Sometimes smokes in stop-n-go traffic.
Has some oil leaks.

Body:
Has some rust bubbles and chips in the paint, but there are no large holes.
Body is straight with no dents.
Has amateur paint job.

Interior:
No work has been done to the interior. There is a split in the drivers seat that is covered in duct tape (see pic). Passenger and rear seats are in good shape.  Has Porsche floor mats. Average wear for a 44 year old car.

The pictures make the car look cleaner than it actually is. This car is 44 years old, so don't expect perfection!! The wear doesn't show clearly in the pics.

I cannot possibly list every imperfection about this car. Please contact me with any questions.
I believe it is an excellent car for a restoration project.
This is not a car to buy for your16 year old son who thinks he's cool.

Car runs and shifts well. I often drive it to work, 40 miles one-way, on the interstate with no problems.
It has tight steering and good alignment.

Fun to drive and ALWAYS gets compliments!!

You must make arrangements to pick-up or ship the car.
NO WARRANTY. Sold As-Is.

Porsche stalls on Ferrari 458 rival

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

A few years ago, reports surfaced that Porsche was planning a new supercar. But the latest intel suggests that the plan has been put indefinitely on the back burner.
The project alternately referred to as 960 or 988 was put forth by CEO Matthias Müller shortly after he assumed control of the German automaker. It called for a mid-engined V8 supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder to take on the likes of the Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren 650S and sister-company Lamborghini's Gallardo and subsequent Huracán.
Now three years since the idea was first mooted, the vehicle has yet to materialize. According to Autocar, Porsche is putting a greater emphasis on refreshing its existing lineup. Which is probably just as well, because the mid-engined supercar would have a heck of a challenge on its hands to differentiate itself in terms of performance from the 911 GT3 and 911 Turbo, which already give the 458 and company a run for their money.

1986 Porsche 959 Prototype at Barrett-Jackson sees gavel fall at $440,000 [UPDATE: w/video]

Sat, 19 Jan 2013

Fans of Porsche in America have longed for the chance to buy a 959 ever since the German automaker produced and sold it (well, sold it everywhere but the United States...) in the 1980s. Well, they just had their chance. The car you see above is a Porsche 959 prototype built in 1986, and only one other running prototype still exists.
The 959 prototype can't be driven on public roads, as it carries no such certification. Somehow, we doubt that matters all that much to the new buyer - this one is probably going to be sitting in a collection. When the gavel finally fell, bidding had reached $400,000, plus a 10-percent buyer's fee.
Check out our high-res image gallery above to see this prototype up close, and scroll down below to watch a video of it crossing the auction block and for its official auction description.

Porsche 911 celebrates 50 years of iconic motoring

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Back in 1963, Porsche debuted the very first 911 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And over the last 50 years, that coupe has grown to become one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. That in mind, you could easily chalk up this 50th Anniversary model as just one of the many special edition 911s that have graced our roads over the years, but dig a bit deeper and you'll see that this one is far more than just some unique paint and different wheels.
For starters, the 911 50th Anniversary Edition utilizes the wider Carrera 4/4S body, but retains its standard rear-wheel-drive configuration. Power comes from the Carrera S' 3.8-liter flat-six engine, but features a Powerkit upgrade that includes the Sport Chrono package and ups overall output to 400 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 3.8 seconds if the car is fitted with Porsche's dual-clutch PDK gearbox, or 4.2 seconds if you choose the row-your-own seven-speed manual. Talk about going Over The Hill with a quickness.
Despite looking pretty tame, we're really hot on the appearance of this special 911, with its throwback flat gray paint job and new 20-inch wheels that look remarkably similar to the original Fuchs alloys of the 1963 model. Inside, you'll find green lettering on the instrument displays, white pointer needles and silver accents, and the leather seats have a fabric insert that's similar to the Pepita cloth from the original 911.
