1968 Porsche 912 Coupe
Summary:This is an excellent 1968 912 that was originally finished in the tangerine, the color it still wears. The car has seen significant recent restoration work and is structurally excellent. The California car was off the road for approximately 33 years, stored indoors in California. The car belonged to the same owner until about 2002 at which point another owner acquired it and began a restoration but left the car untouched for most of this period until selling the car in 2014, after which the restoration was completed. This car is in Monterey, CA 1968 Porsche 912 Coupe PLEASE NOTE: The car will be sold with correct steering wheel, which is not shown in the photographs. The new rubber trims for the rocker decos have also not been installed, and miscellaneous other items such as rubber door plugs.

The headliner had been previously replaced and is excellent, and the seats were also reupholstered. Mechanical: throwout bearing, rebuilt brake calipers, rebuilt carburetors, tune-up, repainted engine sheetmetal and oil filter housing, new engine decals, new starter, rebuilt fuel pump, new shift bushings, new master cylinder, new battery, new deck lid shocks front and rear. The car presents beautifully, with very nice paintwork and fresh exterior trim throughout. The window frames are essentially the only external area that presents as anything other than freshly restored. There are light scratches on the window frames. The decos are as new throughout, including the door top trims and front and rear windscreen decos and seals. The car is structurally exceptional. The gaps and fit are excellent throughout and the panels are extremely straight. The undercarriage is exceptionally nice and free of corrosion, including floor pans, seat pans, torsion bar mounts, front suspension pan, and gas tank support. The interior is also in excellent shape, with new perlon carpets, reupholstered seats, and new headliner. The trims and gauges are in very good unrestored condition. The dashboard is nearly perfect with a single very small crack (see photo). This 912 has exceptional presentation and appears essentially as new, both inside and out, and has an outstanding body with no corrosion of significance. This is not a car where the photos make it look better or worse than it actually is. The photos accurately convey the condition of the car, and it is a high level driver that would make both the casual enthusiast and the serious collector proud to call their own.

Why you must buy an air-cooled Porsche 911 now
Fri, 14 Feb 2014"Because" might be a good response to our headline, but as a vintage (purists might call 'proper') Porsche 911 is hardly cheap, we suspect you'll need a better explanation than that. Enter Drive editor Mike Spinelli.
Spinelli sits down with Zac Moseley and Mick Prichinello from Classic Car Club Manhattan to first explain why the market for old, air-cooled 911s has gotten so hot over the past few years, and to discuss if it's a bubble that's about to burst. Following that, this video is really is just three guys sitting around talking about old Porsches for 35 minutes. Which, you know, we're pretty onboard with.
Scroll down and have a look at the latest episode of After/Drive, from Drive.
Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3
Fri, 30 Aug 2013We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
