1969 Porsche 912 Targa

Very rare 1969 912 Targa, only 800 produced.  Rising in value over time.  Sure to begin to explode in value since the 50th birthday of the 911.  See this Hagerty link for best information (including average values for the 912s):  http://www.hagerty.com/valuationtools/HVT/VehicleSearch/Report?vc=1329223

Meticulously maintained since new.  All documentation since new, including owner’s manual, maintenance manual, dealer brochure, and a 2-inch stack of service/parts receipts. Documented Arizona and California car.  Same owner for approximately 35 years (a Boeing aircraft engineer).

Excellent paint (tangerine/”blood orange”…only the best color ever offered on a 912!).  Interior in excellent condition, much of it new (existing seats are Porsche circa early 70’s, original Recaros included in sale, see below).  Very solid undercarriage (rust proofed, sealed in California just before I purchased it).  Engine compartment detailed and clean.  Starts, runs, and shifts (5-speed) wonderfully.  Handles like a Porsche.  Targa top in excellent condition (a $4000 expense to buy a reconditioned top!).  All new rubber (seals) and near-new tires.  Excellent body/panel gaps, doors close with the trademark Porsche ping.  No rust.  Glass in very good condition (exception to note is some fine scratching in passenger window which I can’t get to show in pictures).  Recently serviced by local/regional Porsche expert (who had been servicing, racing, showing classic Porsches for decades). 

Extra parts include: Original 1969 911/912 Recaro seats with new seat foam (you’d need to purchase new covers).  Rear window parcel shelf with built-in speaker housing.  Various 912 books and magazines including a 912 handbook and service manual.  Other misc. parts (door arm rest, horn covers, etc.).

See pictures for details.  Truly a rare 912 that turns heads and provokes waves and thumb-ups wherever you go (from Porsche and non-Porsche owners alike)!  There are too many details to list so please ask any/all questions and I will do my best to respond in a timely manner.  Likewise, if you need more/different pictures, I’d be glad to provide those too (I have many more than the 12 eBay allows).

Serious buyers only please.  A $1000 deposit by PayPal required within 24 hours of auction end.  I apologize for having to do this but if you’re a serious buyer, this won’t be a problem for you.  Remaining balance due within 5 days of auction end by bank wire/transfer.  In-person inspections welcomed by you or hired third-party.  I can assist you in arranging transportation/shipping.  I have bought and sold several cars and motorcycles over the years and am very familiar with the process.

No warranty express or implied.  

My reserve is reasonable for this beautiful 912 but please don’t ask me what it is.  If you are serious about the 912s (and/or 911s), you probably know where the market is.  And while I don’t have a buy-it-now price, feel free to shoot me an offer.  Anything reasonable will be seriously considered!  For all you folks in the Midwest or east coast, here’s your opportunity to own your dream car without having to pay to have it shipped all the way from California (where 99% of these seem to reside). 

The 912 is listed locally as well as, on other sites so I reserve the right to cancel the auction early.

Thanks for looking and good luck!

Porsche 918 Spyder goes ice drifting in Finland

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Along with the Ferrari Laferrari and McLaren P1, the Porsche 918 Spyder is one of the trio of hybrid supercars potentially defining the path for these rarified vehicles going forward. When thinking about high-performance machines like this, the mind usually goes to precise driving around a circuit or maybe along a beautifully undulating road... not so much in the snow. Still, this group has more than enough power to make it through a little bit of powder, and the 918 proves that at the Porsche Driving Experience winter camp in Finland. Although, the set of studded snow tires certainly helps. Even with the trick all-wheel drive system in the Porsche combining a mid-mounted V8 and electric motors, this 918 has absolutely no problem lighting up the rear end in the snow and ice. Even at relatively low speeds, just a blip of the throttle is all it takes for the back tires to step out. However, the handling still looks quite controllable. It's hard to grin as this rare supercar does the Scandinavian Flick to set up a perfect drift between the snow banks.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic

Mon, Oct 24 2016

Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Porsche picks Maria Sharapova as brand ambassador

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Russian-born tennis superstar Maria Sharapova has just inked a three-year deal with Porsche to be its brand ambassador, a position that will put her on a global campaign for the German automaker. The 26-year-old athlete isn't new to the role - she previously signed a similar three-year deal with Land Rover in 2006.
"Maria Sharapova is an exceptional athlete. She combines top performance in her sports with elegance and power. These are precisely the qualities that are embroiled in our sports cars," explained Matthias Mueller, CEO of Porsche AG, during the announcement. "Her profile and charisma are an ideal fit for Porsche. She is also highly respected around the world and enjoys an outstanding reputation," he added.
Some consider Porsche's choice of a female tennis player as its ambassador interesting, if not surprising. The automaker has traditionally marketed its vehicles with a masculine edge - Sharapova and the sport of tennis position the brand in a different light - likely an intentional decision. Do you think Porsche's choice was a good one? If not, who would you choose as its global ambassador?
