1967 Porsche 912 Coupe. Same Family Since New.calif. Car.super Clean. on 2040-cars
Newbury Park, California, United States
I am finally ready to part with my 1967 Porsche 912 coupe.This car was purchased by my Grandfather new in '67 from Ogner Porsche in Burbank and has always been a So Cal car. I purchased it from my father almost 30 years ago and then it got put on the back burner once my family started growing. Over the last several years I finally was able to complete it to what it is now.
The overall condition of the car is very nice, very clean and well detailed. This is a black plate car with a clean title. It is a 5 gauge, 4 speed car with almost 87000 original miles. As for what has been done to the car here is a brief description. The car has been repainted the original Sand Beige color a few years ago using OEM Glasurit paint. The interior has been redone in original style upholstery(not leather), new headliner and original Perlon carpet. The cars original rubber floor mats are still there and are in excellent condition. The only thing not working in the interior is the clock, and the original radio is there but is not operable since I removed the dash speaker when the dash was recovered(who needs a radio when your driving this car). All the body rubbers and seals have been replaced except for the doorhandle seals, mirror seal and two rubbers on the deck lid which are in excellent shape. Other than those all seals are new. The pedal bushings and shifter bushing are new. I made aluminum foot boards to replace the plywood ones. All the suspension has been gone through. New lower ball joints,steering ends,bump steer kit,Bilstein strut inserts,Koni's in the rear,adjustable spring plates and new spring plate bushings. The car has been lowered and looks and handles very nice. All the calipers have been rebuilt and work beautifully. It has all stainless braided brake lines, new master cylinder and reservoir and light switch. It sports real Fuchs with new Goodyear Eagle RS-A 195/60 15 tires. All the trim and wheels have been blacked out which gives the car a more modern outlaw look and it goes really well with the cars color. All the electrical works and it has a new fuel sender,voltage regulator,starter and I installed an electric rotary fuel pump which is hidden in the smugglers box. The original fuel pump is still in place but I took out the internals so it keeps the original look and doesn't leave a big empty space.
The motor was rebuilt with a big bore kit. I have just installed new Webers and a Bursch exhaust. It has a new clutch and throw out bearing. I replaced the headlight lenses with fluted lenses rather than the plain stock one purely for aesthetics. It has the original jack and tool kit in its original roll. It has the original owners manual in its pouch,the original tire pressure gauge and touch up bottle from when my Grandfather owned it. I even have the original window sticker and paperwork from when it was purchased along with the radio and antenna paperwork. It apparently was an accessory. I am including most of the original parts with the car because I feel they should stay with the car. This includes the solex carbs and original air cleaners and K&N filters for the solex's,headlight lenses, the original chrome wheels and hubcaps(wheels are all date matched),spring plates and some other misc. parts.
As for what the car needs or has wrong with it. The hood struts are new but still cant hold up the hood, there is no windshield washer pump(never there as long as i can remember) but has all the other parts. One of the heater cables is broken. There is a couple of touch up spots from assembly(nothing major). And since the Webers are new and I am running them straight out of the box they could probably use some fiddling. The floors are rust free but have a couple indents where a jack was used and those are right in the center of the floor but purely cosmetic. This car is being sold with no warranty either expressed or implied.
I know someone is going to be very happy with this car and enjoy it for many years. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. If you are near Ventura County CA please feel free to inspect the car. All shipping will be the responsibility of the purchaser but I will assist in in any way I can on my end. A $1000 deposit is required at the end of the auction. Thank You and enjoy.

Porsche goes Platinum with special edition Cayenne
Thu, 05 Dec 2013The other day, Porsche announced a new special edition of the Cayenne. We didn't pay it much heed because it appeared to be exclusive to Europe (or, at least, markets other than ours), but now Porsche has announced its availability in North America, as well.
It's called the Platinum Edition, and it's available exclusively on the entry-level models with either the 3.6-liter V6 or 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. You can tell the special edition apart from any other Cayenne by the silver details (accenting the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler) and its two-tone black and beige leather interior. But what makes it a compelling choice is the long list of equipment, which Porsche has identified as the most requested options and fitted them as standard, including the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, Convenience Package and Bose audio.
Pricing starts at $63,300 for the Cayenne Platinum Edition, or $66,900 for the Cayenne Diesel Platinum Edition. That represents a premium of approximately $13,000 over a bone-stock model, but actually saves you a few grand if you were going to select all those options anyway. Check out the press release below for all the details.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
UK Porsche GT3 owners are irked that other countries are getting better deals
Sun, 27 Apr 2014Porsche 911 GT3 owners in the United Kingdom are up in arms, but it's not for the reason you might think. Okay, well it sort of is. See, it's been fairly well documented that 911 GT3 owners have had their cars grounded over concerns that the engines could catch fire. Porsche is rushing to build and install replacement engines in all 800 or so cars, scattered around the globe.
This isn't really the issue. The problem for these British owners is compensation. While the car's have been grounded, car notes still need to be paid. To deal with this, American GT3 owners are being paid $2,000 per month. German owners get 175 euros ($242 at today's rates) per day while a GT3 owner in Dubai is allegedly receiving $12,000 (it's unclear if this is a lump sum or a monthly payment). Basically, if you aren't able to drive your six-figure super car, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Seems reasonable regardless of the make.
British owners, though, aren't being compensated, and for 30 to 35 owners, that's not acceptable. They've banded together and are led by Sunil Mehra.
