This wonderful car sat covered in a garage since 1995 by its second owner. It was rescued in March 2012 by the third owner (me) and put back on the road after some minor mechanical work. The issues with this car are only cosmetic and minor mechanical.

If you have been watching the value of early 912 Targas (especially soft windows) then you know that the prices have been escalating year after year even in this down economy. Hagarty Insurance specializes in insuring classic cars and keeps an accurate database on Porsche values. Go to Hagerty directly and check it out car values.
 
You have seen all of the other 912 Targas on ebay - and a vast majority of them were POS cars with major flaws. You have seen rust buckets being bought with rusted out floorboards, leaking back windows that rusted out the back seat area, incomplete bodies, wrong interiors, wrong seats, damaged front and rear quarters, rusted out battery boxes, missing or torn soft windows, exposed wiring, cracked dashes, trashed paint, large poorly welded in sections to the front end etc. This car has none of that! AND IT’S PRICED RIGHT!

The Porsche 912 Soft Window Targa has done nothing but INCREASE in value year after year! If you have been waiting for “THE” car to either do a full restoration on or to simply fix the little bugs and drive then this is it! The terrific condition of this 45 year old classic is the single reason why I bought it - with the full intention of doing a full restoration and then the monthly drive to car shows. I love my Targa but unfortunately my garage is now too small for all my other projects. After some serious consideration, it is my Targa that must be sold. My loss is your gain. Restored 1967 Soft Windows are pushing $65K + restored and that number will just keep going up!    
 
The car naturally will be sold “as is” with no guarantee on the drive train. I have posted the car on ebay but I have several NorCal collectors looking at it along with it being advertised locally so it may drop off of ebay if someone local decides to own it.

I do NOT have a ridiculous reserve on the car!!!

The wining bidder will be responsible for all arrangements and costs associated with pick up and transportation.

THE (not so) BAD:
1. 135K miles
2. Clutch just now starting to chatter – will need to be replaced in the future.
3. Speedometer cable is starting to wear and will need to be replaced at some point.
4. 2 dime sized paint bubbles on each of the front fenders behind the wheel opening.
5. Under the front of the Porsche emblem you can see a crack in the paint most likely from a faulty repair prior to the 1980’s paint job.
6. Typical road rash on paint from being a driver and poorly touched up. The paint looks good from a few feet away and while driving down the road but there are a lot of small nicks and scrapes.
7. Car repainted non stock color (sort of a metallic root beer) in the 1980’s - it will need to be repainted at some point in the future.
8. Horns disconnected.
9. Clock does not work but I have not checked it.
10. Fuel sending unit only reads to 1/4 tank when full. Sending unit in the tank needs to be replaced (cheap).
11. Temp gauge does not work – but 99% certain it is the sender as the gauge responds and moves when the key is first turned on.
12. Fuel tank was flushed out but remnants of finely powdered rust are still present (the reason for 2 fuel filters). Until this clears out I recommend the fuel filters be changed often (or drain the tank again and have epoxy coated).
13. The Targa top was professionally recovered years ago on the outside and looks factory new but the inside headliner is starting to sag.
14. Drivers side front seat front tilt "locking" mechanism broken (typical). Slider and tilt work just fine though.
15. It is unknown if the 1st or 2cnd owner had any engine or transmission work done on the car. The tranny looks untouched. I cannot determine if the engine has been apart or not.
16. A few of the small dash lights are burnt out and will need to be replaced.
17. Missing cigarette lighter and tool kit.
18. Back seats have a few small 1" tears (see pics).

If local please email to arrange a test drive and check out the car in person! (thank you to you guys that came by and test drove it this past weekend - now bring some money)!!!

I have undercarriage pictures including underneath the doors - NO RUST. Email and I'll send them to you!

ALSO - I need more room in the garage so I will also throw in any and all spare 912 parts that I have that are not related to this particular car but may come in handy down the road (heater boxes, 1969 generator, extra engine tin, nuts & bolts, headlight glass, gaskets, hardware etc.)

Porsche rules out Macan, 911 hybrids

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Believe it or not, between the 918 Spyder, the Cayenne and the Panamera, Porsche offers more plug-in hybrid models than any other brand. Yes, Porsche. But don't expect that trend to continue. At least, not in the immediate future.
According to Top Gear, the E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera is too big to fit into the smaller Macan. A future hybrid system could be small enough to fit, but with the current technology still fresh, that'd still be some ways down the twisting road.
It stands to reason, then, that if the system wouldn't fit in the Macan, it wouldn't fit in the Boxster or Cayman, either. But what of the 911? Surely Porsche would like to stick it to BMW and its new i8, and proved it could do a hybrid 911 when it rolled the GT3 R Hybrid (pictured) out onto the race track over four years ago. But Zuffenhausen is reportedly in no rush to put that idea into production - not for the current 911 and not for the next one, either.

Leno, Seinfeld and a Porsche 356/2 featured in latest CICGC

Sun, 19 Jan 2014

In the latest kaffeeklatsch known as Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry Seinfeld pulls Jay Leno out of his garage for a trip to Jones Coffee in Pasadena, CA. The NBC funnyman we've lately seen driving two guest Porsches in his eponymous garage this time takes the passenger seat in a 1949 Porsche 356/2, one of early all-aluminum, hand-built coupes - still in 100-percent original condition - built in Gmund, Austria and nicknamed "Gmunds."
The comedy veterans have known one another for 35 years, so the episode is rich with stories of The Good Old Days. Leno says it is also the first time he's ever had a cup of coffee, and for obvious comedic reasons they start with the civet-stained beans made famous in The Bucket List. You can watch Leno take his first sip below, and have you haven't heard the joke about the goat and the anvil, scroll on down for a listen to that and one or two more jokes besides.
