 1969 Porsche 912 for sale.

All original. All records from new, including original bill of sale. One key. This 912 was driven in Washington State and California before coming to PA in the 70's. It was driven until 1982 and has been sitting in a garage in Bucks County since. You will be the 3rd owner of this adorable, air cooled sports car. The title is free and clear. This was the 400th car built by Porsche in 1969 (per Dr. B Johnson in his book "The 911 & 912 Porsche. A Restorers Guide to Authenticity"). All numbers matching. The car has only 50,281 original miles (documented with all original receipts). This 912 is a 5 speed manual coupe. The VIN is 129020491.

Awesome original interior. Needs some minor work- new headliner, new springs in driver's seat, door panels need gluing. Backseats are minty. Floorboards are in great condition and are NOT rusted through. The shift linkage is in excellent condition (not loose) and is not rusted.

The exterior is what makes this a project. This is an excellent candidate for a restoration. The car needs new rocker panels, door sills, a suspension pan and the front bar, as a minimum. The body panels are straight and mostly rust-free, with the exception of a few quarter sized dots of rust here and there (passenger front panel, for example). It could use a paint job, too, if you are so inclined (though I like the patina myself). The hubcaps and wheels are in very good condition with just a little surface rust. This car needs new tires. The original spare is included. The gas tank holds gas- it does not leak and is not rusted. All glass is minty- no cracks or chips. All gaskets are very good.

We have not checked the condition of the brakes at this time. The e-brake is functioning. The car turns and rolls (the wheels are not seized).

We have owned this car just a few weeks and gently worked on it. We installed a new battery, new spark plugs, new rotor, new distributor cap, new coil, new fuel filter, cleaned the carbs and got it running. We recommend draining the gas tank (we ran off an auxiliary tank) and rebuilding the carbs.

This is a beautiful Porsche. We're Porsche nuts and we're smitten with this 912 and wish we had the time to restore her ourselves. Take advantage of our busy schedules and add her to your collection! Please email me to set up a visit. Cash or bank check in person, please. Happy to help facilitate transport. Thanks, Kara.

Le Mans-winning Porsche 935 K3 'seized' by DEA agents

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

Porsche has won Le Mans more than any other marque, but only one of those overall race winners was actually based on a 911. That was the 1979 Porsche 935 K3, chassis number 009 00015 that was entered by brothers Don and Bill Whittington. It went on to win at the Nürburgring and Watkins Glen, and scored podium finishes at Sebring and Brands Hatch as well. In short, it's a historically significant and hugely valuable piece of motorsport history. And it was just seized by the DEA. Sorta.
After the Whittington brothers ran afoul of a handful of lawsuits and were implicated in smuggling narcotics, the car changed hands a few times before ending up in the noted collection of one Bruce Meyers. He had it at Laguna Seca earlier this month when a black Suburban, Dodge Charger and transporter truck pulled up with government plates, asked to speak with Meyer, presented him with a court order, loaded the car onto the truck and drove off.
Though familiar with the legal disputes surrounding the ownership of the car and the misdeeds of its famous original owners, Meyer was left understandably distraught over the events that had just unfolded in front of him to separate him from his pride and joy. (Or one of them, anyway; Bruce has got an eminently desirable collection of classic cars.) But here's the kicker: those DEA agents weren't actual DEA agents. Fortunately they weren't thieves, either. The actual story could have been the plot right out of Ocean's 14 if they ever made one and it focused on classic cars. (Is anyone in Hollywood listening?)

2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS First Drive [w/video]

Fri, Nov 6 2015

Imagine a regular Porsche 911 GT3 in your garage, parked next to a brand-new, no-options Boxster. Now imagine your garage with just a 911 GT3 RS inside. From a cost standpoint, you could have either for roughly the same amount of money. Trying to figure out if the RS goodies are worth the $50,000 over a standard 911 GT3 – roughly the price of that no-frills Boxster – might drive you mad. We're trying to suss this out at 120 miles per hour on the long downhill back straight at Road Atlanta. It's pouring. Rivulets of water are streaming across the track. Ahead, in a 911 Turbo leading the pack, is Le Mans- and Daytona-winning driver David Donohue. He's helpfully warned us to avoid nipping the curbing, since that's where water pools. Hydroplaning could end someone's day. Through the blinding spray, Donohue mercifully has reduced the pace. There's enough speed to evaluate what the GT3 RS does well, which is essentially everything. There's also enough time to figure out what sort of sports car this is. Horsepower swells to an even 500 and torque to 338 pound-feet – bumps of 25 hp and 14 lb-ft over the GT3. As is fitting and proper for the traditional sports car par excellence, at the top of the large and expensive 911 heap is the GT3. While the base is shaken by the encroachment of turbocharging on basic 911 models, the summit is, like mountain air, all-natural. The GT3 was subject to a beyond-galling recall due to faulty con-rods with a penchant for ventilating crankcases and starting catastrophic fires, but storms crash upon every peak. Progress is inevitable for German engineers. The GT3 RS is the 911 reforged in those embarrassing fires. The GT3 itself was a false summit, but the RS is the real deal. Underneath the very purple bodywork, this is a lither and more athletic thing than the already superb GT3. Lightweighting is accomplished with a healthy dose of carbon fiber on the engine cover and the frunk. The roof, with a slick-looking depressed slash running longitudinally, is made of magnesium. That serves to lower the center of gravity, Porsche assures us. Even the rear silencer is made of titanium. In total, the RS is 22 pounds lighter than the GT3 it's based on – seemingly small gains considering all the exotic materials, but less so considering what's been added back. The RS is also more powerful, thanks to a 200cc displacement increase.

Evo sets up duel of Porsche 911s

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

What's better, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive? That question has occupied auto enthusiasts for years, and so far, we've not really had a solid answer one way or the other. Evo has opted to take another whack at this tough question by pairing a pair of Porsche 911s against each other for a track battle.
In one corner, we have the two-wheel-drive 911 Carrera S, complete with the lickity-split PDK transmission, a sports suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes. In the other corner, it's the all-wheel-drive 911 Carrera 4S in a much mellower spec, with a seven-speed manual, as well as standard brakes and suspension. While the results seem like they'd be a foregone conclusion, some very British weather is there to act as the great equalizer.
We've got the full video down below. Have a look, and let us know if you agree with Evo's results.
