Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Porsche
Drive Type: Rear
Model: 912
Mileage: 0
Trim: Black
This Car has engine #741281, trans #160389 and color 6402 Ruby Red. The car was built 9/3/1965 These are matching numbers as verified by Porsche and a COA will go with the car. This car was owned by a body shop owner as a long term restoration project. It has not been touched for some years.
The engine was split and inspected and found to be good. I can tell you that it spins smoothly. The bores look good in my opinion. One piston was partially installed when I came to terms to purchase and all work was stopped. I would assume the engine will be torn down by the next owner. The remaining pistons, push rods,etc are present..The transmission is a 902 four speed. The brakes are on the car and need to be overhauled. There is a distributor, fuel pump, clutch and pedal assembly. I believe there is only one wheel with the proper date code.
Please study the photos of the body. There are some gaps between removed rust and replaced metal primarily around the jack spurs on the driver's side. It might have been caused by less than perfect welding heat. The front pan has been replaced. It looks very good but a battery bracket needs to be sourced. The floors and longitudals appear to be original. The fenders are for two hole horn grills. The original four hole grills are included and fitting them to these fenders is done regularly by different methods. Please note that there are paint blisters on the drivers door and roof as well as some slight rust bubbling around door latch areas. Once these areas are addressed it will be up to the owner to repaint these areas or the entire car. That being said, this car is very straight and the paint is very good. The doors and fenders are hung loosely and in no way represent final panel fit.
The pictures show loose parts. Not shown is the chrome/brass window frame for the passenger side. Besides the frame and some minor "orphans" like one SWB parking light assembly, exterior door handle and one open window winder, if it is not shown it does not go with the car. There are some boxes of stuff but there are no rear bumpers, seats, quarter windows or other obvious missing parts.
I have included as many pictures as allowed. Please contact me for any info or extra pictures. My phone # is 203 675 1343. The car can be viewed in Madison, Ct. before auction's end. This car is local pick up only;just way too much stuff to box and ship. This car comes with a notarized bill of sale only.
This 912 has the features of the first produced and is very rare.

NHTSA closes probe into 2011 Porsche 911 coolant leaks
Thu, 13 Mar 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that it will end its investigation into rapid coolant loss in 24,635 Porsche 911s built between 2001 and 2011. The models affected included the standard 911, GT2, GT3 and Turbo, as well as their variants (GT2 RS, GT3 RS and Turbo S).
NHTSA was investigating for "rapid coolant loss caused by coolant pipe-fitting failure, allegedly resulting in vehicle disablement and/or loss of vehicle control due to reduced traction for the affected vehicle or following traffic," according to the regulators website. "Most of the leak complaints did not appear to involve complete separation of the fittings and many were detected when the vehicle was parked," said NHTSA's statement.
There were 63 complaints and 336 warranty claims, although the investigation was initiated after ten complaints from customers. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries attributed to rapid coolant loss.
2015 Porsche Macan Turbo
Mon, 24 Feb 2014I knew it was a softball question, but I asked it anyway. It's pretty standard for automakers to offer up some examples of competitors when they invite the media to drive a new vehicle for the first time. If not stated outright, it's just as standard for some journalist to query about the competitive set as soon as the Q&A begins. I knew full well that Porsche believes it has a valuable new niche to itself with the 2015 Macan (and especially with the Macan Turbo), but I wanted to hear the answer to the competitor cars question anyway.
Porsche CEO Matthias Müller didn't hesitate for a second to respond. With a half-smirk appropriate to an executive that is about to launch the (very probably) most profitable and best-selling product in his brand's lineup he chuckled, "Of course, I could be arrogant and say this car has no competitors..."
Arrogant? Well, the grinning Müller certainly didn't give off a humble vibe as he proceeded to count down a list of German and British utility vehicles from various classes that are clearly behind the pace of the Macan in either looks, luxury, or sporting prowess - Range Rover Sport, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK among them.
