1967 Porsche 912 Coupe Bahama Yellow This is a fantastic 912 Coupe, I purchased this 912 through a friend of the owner, who was selling due to illness, he'd apparently owned the Bahama Yellow 912 since the early 1970s and had kept the car in Southern California where he had a Porsche based business. This is an incredible car, just take your time to go through the Photobucket album and study the many pictures there. It is a true time capsule of Porsche engineering, the body shell is absolutely straight and lovely, all gaps are excellent, I can find no damage nor rust anywhere, it is appointed with some lovely period accessories which are rare and valuable in their own right. This car represents what I believe to be one of the finest 912 cars on the market, it ticks all of the right boxes, its rust free,its a great color "Bahama Yellow" it retains its correct and original California issued black license plates front and rear, has some super rare factory parts, a rear seat delete luggage compartment, stainless steel trim above the exhaust on the lower rear valence, 4 spectacular original anodized 4 1/2 x 15" Fuchs wheels from a 1967 911S, a 1967 911S wood rim steering wheel, Cibie Rally Oscar lamps and a set of through the grille fog lights. The body shell is superb, its appears all original apart from one repaint from the 1980s which was done to a very high standard, such is the age of the paint that it looks original, the gaps are superb and the doors clunk shut like no other 911 bodied car I've had in 10 years, the doors are incredible and have the lovely metal ring to them that you instantly notice, they shut easily and have perfect door gaps. The trunk and engine lid too are straight and perfect and reflect the love and care that has been given to this car all the way through its life, when I bought it the 912 had just been taken out of ;long term storage due to the owners illness, the motor had been rebuilt at some stage with a big bore 1750cc kit and ws being detailed and refitted by a very competent and knowledgeable restorer, he had also "woken the 912 up" replacing the clutch and rebuilding the carbs and brakes. At the same time all four tires were replaced with new and the black paint on the original anodized Fuchs wheels was touched up. The interior is a lesson in originality, the seats , rubber mats and perimeter carpets are like stepping back in time, they are superb, the 912 even retains its original Blaupunkt radio. The dash top speaker area is the only part showing any significant wear, it has a couple of small tears in the vinyl. The headlines, rear seat delete and the period seat belts are fantastic, it reminds you of a museum quality car. The motor is very responsive and tight, it has benefitted from a rebuild with a big bore kit ad has lots of power and makes no smoke, the clutch is new and the motor compartment is very nicely detailed. The transmission shifts without problems both up and down the gate, the four speed 901 box works flawlessly. The 912 is rapidly gaining on value, and rightly so, it is now seen properly as not a sub model to the 911 but a model all on its own, it has long been seen as a better handling act than its 6 cylinder brother and prices are rising. It is a great concept and the 356 SC motor propels it along nicely. This is a superb car and has to represent a blue chip investment today. The 912 is being sold through my dealership, I am a licensed California car dealer therefore all sales to California residents are subject to CA Taxes and DMV fees, out of state buyers can avoid CA taxes by using a bonded and insured trucking company, overseas buyers, I have been working with a shipper for over 10 years and can offer competitive rates to all overseas destinations.

Jay Leno plugs himself into Porsche's 918 Spyder
Mon, 24 Mar 2014As one of the greatest sports car manufacturers of all time, when Porsche puts out a new, ultra-exclusive hypercar, enthusiasts tend to stand up and take note. Jay Leno is no exception, and now, the funnyman is finally getting his time with awesome 918 Spyder.
With his 1963 Porsche 356 and his 2005 Carrera GT flanking a Liquid Silver 918, Leno takes us through the basics of this plug-in hybrid roadster alongside Daniel Eastman of Porsche North America. Following the chat, Leno and Eastman take the German-plated car through the streets of California, testing it in a number of modes and even going on a short, all-electric freeway cruise.
If you're looking to learn more about the 918, or to just here its glorious gas engine at work, you'll want to scroll down and take a look at the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage.
Remembering Porsche's illustrious Le Mans history
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Not only does this weekend mark the running of the 82nd 24 Hours of Le Mans, it will also see the return of one of the race's most venerable brands to the top tiers of endurance racing. Porsche will campaign its first top-flight car since the 1998 911 GT1-98, the 919 Hybrid, at this weekend's race, in the hopes of knocking off its corporate rival, the dominant Audi team.
To understand just what a win for the 919 would mean, though, you need to look back on the intrinsic connection between the Circuit de la Sarthe and Porsche. It's a history that spans decades, dating back to the team's first win in 1970.
XCar has a great video on that history. At 25 minutes, it's a bit on the long side. Then again it is the Friday before Le Mans. Take a look below for the video.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS getting all-new atmospheric engine
Thu, Jan 15 2015Porsche surprised many of its most puritanical enthusiasts when it took a decidedly more usable approach with the current 911 GT3. But when the new GT3 RS debuts, it promises to be a much more extreme departure. And a big part of that comes down to the engine. At the Detroit Auto Show this week, Auto Express spoke with Porsche R&D chief Wolfgang Hatz – who also happens to be head of engine and transmission development for the entire Volkswagen group. Hatz revealed that Porsche has developed a completely new engine for the GT3 RS, and while previous rumors suggested the RS would go turbo to fill in for the lack of a GT2 (and make the most out of its displacement), Hatz confirmed that it will be naturally aspirated. Considering that Porsche rarely goes downwards when it comes to 911 engine displacement, only upwards, we'd expect the new RS to pick up where the previous 4.0 left off. The new GT3 RS is also expected to pack a more extreme suspension, aero and stripped-out interior, but those hoping for an old-school approach may be disappointed to learn that the new RS will (at least at launch) only be available with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission – though a manual version could follow if there's enough demand. In a related development, Hatz also hinted that the Cayman GT4 could debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, with an even more extreme approach than the previous Cayman R. The new top-of-the-line Cayman is reportedly being developed to comply with GT4 class racing regulations but be fully homologated for road use. Related Video:
