1966 Porsche 912 - 3-gauge, 5-speed, Very Original Car on 2040-cars
Stanwood, Washington, United States
Due to being a very original Seattle, WA (no salt on the roads) car, this early 3-gauge, 5-speed, numbers matching 912 has been sympathetically refurbished, rather than restored. The paint was tired and cracked, so car was stripped to metal and repainted its original correct color. This is a rust-free, accident-free, hit-free car with all new rubber seals. The interior is completely original and in very good condition including very hard-to-find rubber mats, carpets and upholstery, glass panels all have their 'Sekurit' stamps, spare tire has its original very rare valve stem reinforcing clip. Some carpet is missing near the right
rear seat area and the driver's side rocker panel. If desired, we will
install a new correct carpet kit for $950.00. Chrome is all original and shines beautifully. Original owner upgraded the factory radio to a period AM/FM Blaupunkt radio.
Paperwork includes original sales invoice, original Service Book, original title, extensive maintenance records from the original owner, and Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche Cars North America. Original toolkit also included. Engine was rebuilt and new clutch installed by highly regarded (Denny) Aker's Porsche of Seattle at 86,287mi., and has rolled up 29k trouble-free miles since rebuild. The car also received its routine maintenance and repairs by this same firm most of its life. The engine pulls smoothly and strongly. The braking system was completely rebuilt last year and pulls down evenly and strongly. Gauges, lights, and wipers work well. The paint just shines beautifully. Suspension and steering are tight and responsive. This is an outstanding looking car that would be a reliable daily use vehicle, should that be desired. |

Porsche stalls on Ferrari 458 rival
Mon, 17 Nov 2014A few years ago, reports surfaced that Porsche was planning a new supercar. But the latest intel suggests that the plan has been put indefinitely on the back burner.
The project alternately referred to as 960 or 988 was put forth by CEO Matthias Müller shortly after he assumed control of the German automaker. It called for a mid-engined V8 supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder to take on the likes of the Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren 650S and sister-company Lamborghini's Gallardo and subsequent Huracán.
Now three years since the idea was first mooted, the vehicle has yet to materialize. According to Autocar, Porsche is putting a greater emphasis on refreshing its existing lineup. Which is probably just as well, because the mid-engined supercar would have a heck of a challenge on its hands to differentiate itself in terms of performance from the 911 GT3 and 911 Turbo, which already give the 458 and company a run for their money.
Meet the man that discovered and restored the oldest existing Porsche
Tue, 11 Mar 2014Luciano Rupolo is an absolutely fascinating gentleman. He was born in France but spent nearly his entire life in Italy as an auto mechanic running his own shop. His grandfather and father instilled a love of sports cars in him that he carried on by historic racing in Italy for decades. He saw his life-long automotive passion repaid when he found and restored the car that might have been the first Porsche registered for the road.
You can spot in his garage a split-window Corvette, Ferrari 250 GTE and other exotics, but Rupolo's most interesting automotive story concerns his Iso Grifo Competizione (pictured above). The sports coupe was found in the Canary Islands as little more than a shell, but Rupolo got help from a prestigious source for its restoration. The result is a motoring masterpiece.
Rupolo is a fantastic storyteller with a captivating, tale to tell. Settle in, scroll down and watch the bittersweet documentary about his life with one of the first Porsches.
