Up for sale is my restored California 1967 Porsche 912

This car is in excellent condition with original interior.  I have 3 classics from the 60’s and sadly have to sell one of them to help fund a real estate venture. 

Details:

I purchased this car a year ago when it had a bit under 121, 200 miles – have put a bit over 2,600 miles on it since – it is a blast to drive.  The previous owner:

  • ·      rebuilt the engine at 120,499 miles and upgraded it to 1750CC (engine # 751120)

  • ·      rebuilt original Solex carbs

  • ·      New engine sound padding installed

  • ·      Rebuilt Brake calipers and brake system bled and gone through

  • ·      replaced the clutch

  • ·      rebuilt the 5-speed transmission with new synchros

  • ·      installed new Koni shock absorbers

Since purchasing the car, I have:

  • ·      resealed the engine and replaced the valve covers

  • ·      replaced the after market cooler with factory cooler

  • ·      replaced the oil pressure switch

  • ·      repaired the wiring at the headlamps

  • ·      installed a new original Porsche exhaust/muffler

  • ·      replaced the rear bushings

  • ·      powder-coated the original steel wheels

Those are the highlights.  I have all receipts for my work and the previous owner’s work.  I have been told that the engine and body are matching numbers.

Car was also re-painted Polo Red a few years ago – correctly with all glass pulled out - and shows very well with even shine.  Car has all new window and door seals.  The body has no rust and is straight.  Interior is the original and for it’s age in excellent shape – has signs of wear, but no tear or cracks anywhere – a nice patina.  Car was garage kept for over 30 years before I bought it and I continue to garage it.

In short, this is a fantastic example of a 1967 Porsche 912.  It drives firm, fires up from cold every time, and with the little extra CC, has a nice engine growl and extra pop in the pedal.  Have driven it mostly on the weekends, around town or up the coast and it works great as a city or vacation car.  I am sad to give it up, but of my three classics, this is the least rare.  I hope it finds a good home with an owner who will continue to care for and enjoy it.  I was even able to find an original ad from the original dealer here in SoCal – it’s framed and comes with the sale.

This car comes with a reasonable reserve for a car in its condition.   I’m located in Los Angeles if you want to come by and look at the car.  E-mail me at litzewen@gmail.com if you have any questions.  I will be advertising this car through other sources so I reserve the right to end the auction if someone makes me an acceptable offer.  Thank you and good luck!

Porsche 918 Spyder officially priced from $845K, Weissach package $84K more

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Porsche has released official pricing for its entire lineup of 2013 models, which just happens to include the upcoming 918 Spyder hybrid supercar. The 795-horsepower advanced-technology-lab-on-wheels is now officially confirmed to have a starting price of $845,000 in the US, which is the exact amount we were told earlier when we had the opportunity to ride shotgun in some 918 Spyder pre-production test vehicles.
What we didn't know at the time was the cost of the Weissach trim package, which is a high-performance upgrade to the standard vehicle that includes the deletion of some interior amenities and addition of lighter-weight carbon fiber appointments, magnesium wheels, flame-resistant upholstery, racing belts and aerodynamic aids - it's meant for track-going folk who intend to use their 918 Spyders as God, country and manufacturer intended.
All told, the Weissach package should drop the 918 Spyder's curb weight by some 80 pounds, while also lightening your wallet of an additional $84,000 - the car's MSRP with the Weissach package is $929,000. These prices don't, however, include destination charges, which, for something like the very limited edition 918 Spyder (only 918 will be made), could very well cost considerably more than your average Porsche.

Former chairman Piech opposing his nieces' VW board nominations

Fri, May 1 2015

Someone needs to option the rights to the Ferdinand Piech story for an HBO series, because it perfectly mixes the corporate intrigue of Mad Men with the family drama of The Sopranos. Plus there are some cool cars. In the latest episode, Piech isn't happy with Volkswagen's appointment of two of his nieces – Julia Kuhn-Piech and Dr. Louise Kiesling – to replace he and his wife on the automaker's supervisory board. The recently ousted chairman could try to stop them. According to German publication Bild, Piech thinks his two relatives lack the necessary automotive experience to serve on the board. Therefore, he suggests one-time Ford Premier Automotive Group boss Wolfgang Reitzle and former Siemens manager Brigitte Ederer to take the seats. However, a VW spokesperson told Automotive News Europe that there were no objections to the women's appointment, except for this story from Germany. Piech's nieces are already officially appointed to the VW supervisory board, and it's approved by the Braunschweig Local Court in Germany. His only real option to challenge them would be to file a lawsuit, according to Automotive News Europe. While the new appointees don't have their uncle's decades of history in the auto industry, they do have business experience. Dr. Kiesling has a degree in vehicle design from the Royal College of Art in London and is the managing director of an Austrian textile maker. Kuhn-Piech works in real estate sits on the supervisory board of German truck maker Man.

Porsche 911 going all-turbo this year save for GT3 and GT3 RS

Fri, Jan 23 2015

The coming Porsche 911 GT3 RS will represent another high-water mark for the brand, and another milestone. Its 500-or-so horsepower and extreme aero are predicted to lop more than five seconds off the 7:20 Nurburgring lap time of the current GT3, making it "comfortably less" than 7:20. Beyond that, its naturally-aspirated 3.8-liter will form the basis of the turbocharged engines going into the standard range of 911s later this year as 2016 models. That's right – if you're looking for a sub-GT3 911 that gulps its air without compressed assistance, then you've only got a few months to get a new one into your garage. Emissions regulations are the reason, of course, with Porsche's R&D chief Wolfgang Hatz saying that, "Every new model will have lower CO2 than before," and "if you look at euro per g/km, then it's turbo." We don't know what the engine lineup will look like, however; a few months ago Car reported that the base 911 would get a smaller-displacement version of the engine, while the S would stick with 3.8-liter displacement and jump to 520 horsepower, which is the same as the current Turbo. After that, Hatz said, "at the end of the decade electrification has to be the next huge step." That means a hybrid 911 is being cooked up somewhere. Yet even as the brand leaps into the new, there's a chance it could dip a toe back into the old: the 911 GT3 RS will launch with a PDK, but Hatz's team is considering adding the option of a seven-speed manual. Elsewhere in the range, the Cayman GT4 is being engineered by Porsche Motorsport as an entry-level racer, with more power than the current Cayman GTS to go with some serious weight loss. They are also developing a track-only model for privateers. The standard Boxster and Cayman will get turbocharged flat-four engines, but there'll be a sporty Boxster that also loses weight and gets more power than the 325-hp Boxster GTS. And that mid-level supercar that's been floating in the ether for years and supposedly sent to purgatory again just last November? It's on the way by 2020 "at the latest," and will use a version of the new V8 that will eventually go into the Cayenne and Panamera.
