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. |

The 2013 Rolex 24-hour race at Daytona comes down to the last hour [spoilers, w/video]
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It took 24 hours to run the race, but it was the last one was stuffed with the high action as four cars were still trying to figure out how to gain victory on the track and in the pits. Along with the obligatory crashes, spins, mechanical issues and retirements had come numerous penalties, a double-digit number of full-course yellows and two hours of fog that turned early Sunday morning into a stretch of parade laps.
The final hour would make up for the morning - drivers who might have been happy just to get on the podium had a shot at victory as the end of the race approached, and that turned into a few gambles that paid off, and at least one that didn't...
Porsche inspecting 2,500 Euro-spec Macans for damaged brake boosters
Thu, 29 May 2014Porsche is investigating a potential brake issue with 2,500 of its new Macan CUVs. The inspection focuses on the state of the brake systems following tests that discovered the brake boosters may have been damaged during assembly.
Porsche has pointed out that, despite the concern, the affected Macans still meet safety regulations. The issue is predominantly found in European-spec Macans, which according to Porsche, have been delivered to consumers. Owners of affected vehicles in Europe will be notified and asked to come in for a brief, no-cost inspection.
American consumers, though, have no reason to worry. We reached out to Porsche Cars North America, who confirmed that the vehicles in question were assembled before US-spec cars were screwed together.
Porsche wins the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans
Sun, Jun 14 2015The question going into this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans was whether or not the Porsche 919 Hybrid would be able to combine its qualifying pace with race reliability. After battling neck-and-neck with Audi's R18 for most of the race, the answer is a resounding yes. Not only did Porsche drivers climb the first two spots on the podium, they did so without any major mishaps on track. This win is the first overall trophy for Porsche since 1998. Audi previously won the last five races, and 13 of the last 15. Corvette also returned to the winner's circle, with the No. 64 C7.R taking winning the GTE Pro division. The victory is the first class win for Corvette since 2011. KCMG won the LMP2 class in ninth overall. With 45 minutes to go the No. 98 Aston Martin crashed out of first place in GTE Amateur, giving the class win to SMP Racing's Ferrari and second place to the Patrick Dempsey Racing Porsche 911 RSR. For the full list of official results, click here. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. For most of the race, the battle at the top went back and forth between the two German manufacturers. An tire puncture in the No. 7 Audi gave up the lead to Porsche, and moments later a crash forced the No. 8 into the garage. But a three-minute replacement of the front and rear bodywork kept the Audi in contention. As the race wore into the night, Porsche maintained a slightly faster pace than Audi. Nick Tandy took the lead on Lap 253 early Sunday morning, and car No. 19 never gave up the top position. The win is the first for all three drivers of the No. 19 – Nico Hulkenberg, Earl Bamber, and Nick Tandy. A lap behind in second was the No. 17 Porsche. The Audis fought reliability problems late in the race but still finished third with the No. 7 R18. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. As the Aston Martin cars dropped away, the lone Corvette Racing entry took over, followed by a charging AF Corse team Ferrari 458 Italia. The Corvette and Ferrari continued to trade places in the final hours until gearbox trouble forced the No. 51 Ferrari out of contention. It was eventually passed by the other AF Corse car, No. 71. Nissan experienced all the pain of a first-year effort with its front-wheel-drive GT-R LM Nismo.
