1967 912 Soft Window
Targa Red Vin 550214 Car is located in Bend Oregon I bought this car many years ago and have stored it inside,
with all my other cars I have many other Early P-Cars and haven’t had the time
to drive it much so it is time to go to a caring home. that existed are gone, the tub is solid but not a 50K Job It is better than many shops turn out and is not a bondo fix (Nor is it a Porsche Classic Body panel alignment) Seats were replaced with an original set with factory headrests, Soft window is near new Car comes with a tonneau for the rear window Engine was rebuilt and pulls very strong . I am guessing it might have 20-25 hours on the motor Compression is 130-138 on all cylinders. The previous owner stamped the motor kind of funky so I will not say its original, it puts out significantly more power than a stock motor and has a new Bursch muffler and headers. It sounds awesome The car has had a complete service, all fluids etc. have
been changed New Battery and all lights checked etc. Fuel system drained flushed and Carbs cleaned and rebuilt Brake lines re -done (brakes are at 85 percent plus) 4 new Konis all the
way around, bushing and suspension including alignment and a quick corner balance 5 Speed 901 shifts well with no wacky noises I little tough
going into first at speed but not at rest It had a bad set of pitted Brazilians so I replaced with
knock off 5.5x15 Fuchs I can put on Steel wheels or 5.5 Fuchs or 6 Inch Fuchs So new Yokohama sports were fitted. these fuch look a likes
really look nice and handle well. I do not remember about the clock but everything else but the radio is working All locks are keyed correctly I would rate this car as a 3+ great 2-3 foot driver, If a
Porsche expert wants to find it’s faults well there are always ones that are
better. Soft Window Targa’s are rare and I have owned ( and still own other
examples ) they are going to appreciate as they will cruise at 80 and handles
very well. To me the targa on and back window down on a hot day is blast and
more fun than most open cars !! The guys who did the work are well respected and I have no problem giving you references and put you in contact with them for more info The 80 or so pics are a good indication of the car flaws and
all. At 47 Yrs old it get a huge amount of attention and get thumbs up and
questions every time its driven I am not a dealer but a hobbiest and have way too many cars,
I will never have time to drive this much. With College coming up for my kids I am thinning the herd a
bit , If you are looking for a driver quality car that brings a smile to your face this is it, the 912 soft window is like driving a Speedster/356 cab without spending $150K This same car in a 911 would command over $120K Yes It has taken peoples choice and other awards at shows,
but the Guys who did the refresh have worked on Pebble Beach show cars that
have sold for over $250K Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the Auction Early |

Listen to the Porsche Macan's exhaust note ahead of its LA debut
Fri, 08 Nov 2013As if we need further proof that the Porsche Macan won't just be another small CUV, it'll be a small Porsche CUV, the German automaker has released a video of the vehicle's raucous exhaust note. In short, the Macan will sport a far racier soundtrack than most of its competitors.
The raspy sound coming from one of the Macan's two turbocharged V6 engines sounds great (the video isn't clear as to whether we're listening to the base 3.0-liter or the Turbo model's 3.6-liter engine), and it's accompanied by a nice crackle on overrun. It isn't like a 911 or other flat-six model, but it is more or less what we expect a Porsche to sound like. We'll have all the details on the newest member of the Porsche lineup when it debuts later this month at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Scroll down for an official press release from Porsche, as well as the video of the Macan, and be sure to turn your speakers up.
Porsche offering short-term loans to Macan waitlisters
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Walk into a Porsche dealer today, place an order for a Macan and you'll be looking at a waiting period of six months or more before you can expect delivery. That may be common enough for high-end European automakers, but the Macan is meant to lure new buyers to the brand, and the waitlist could be enough to deter them from sticking around.
The solution? Offer to lease them a Boxster or Cayman until their new Macan arrives. Shorter in term that the usual new-car lease, these six-month terms are designed to keep buyers from turning their backs, all the while experiencing the kind of vehicle Porsche does best.
Of course it doesn't hurt that the dealer then gets a used sports car to sell again once the short-term lease is up. And we wouldn't be surprised to see some buyers asking to hold on to their mid-engined sports car for a little longer, either.
Amelia Island 2013: Porsche 911 swarms the field marking 50 years of rear-engine goodness
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Perhaps one of the most iconic sports cars in the world, it was no surprise that the Porsche 911 showed up in numbers to the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. Although the original 911 launched 50 years ago, the original and current models are instantly recognizable as 911s, and since the 911 has a storied racing background, there were probably just as many racing versions of the coupe as there were street-legal versions.
As the show's 2013 honoree, one of the prime racing examples was a 1970 Porsche 911 S raced by Sam Posey. There were so many cars in attendance, we didn't know where to look, but a 1985 911 Speedster concept and a Porsche-owned, rally-ready 911 Type 953 were definitely among the more impressive standouts. As an added bonus, Jacksonville-based Brumos Porsche had many of its classic racecars on display including a beautiful 959.
