1968 Porsche 912 2 Door Coupe 1.6l on 2040-cars
Zionsville, Indiana, United States
|
1968 Porsche 912 Original California car. Only in mid-west for 2 years-garaged. Originally purchased new in CaIifornia (always garaged). I have done the following repairs: Installed new headliner, replaced driver seat, installed new interior carpet, new front, quarter and rear glass seals, installed modern Pioneer radio with remote and had what I consider to be minor engine repairs. It has been driven as a daily driver to work in spring & summer. The car's biggest feature is the condition of the chassis, it truly has NO rust. There have been no oil leaks, engine runs strong. Newer tires, original Fuchs rims. Comes with all the original purchase documentation from original owner as well as original tool kit, owners manual and fully documented repair history. All gauges & instruments work except for the clock. There is a repaired crack in dashboard at the crease (typical for these cars). I would consider the paint to be in above average condition. Sand beige is the numbers matching original color. I believe it may have had one re-spray earlier in its history. I took two pictures of small scratches: one on the top of the car and one on the edge of the door by the handle. I have proudly shown car in area Porsche events. It truly has been a fun car to drive. It is being sold to make room for a new project car. International buyers welcome! ** I strongly encourage you to contact Bob Farmer, an expert Porsche mechanic. He performed all the tune up work / minor engine repairs. Bob will personally vouch for the condition of the car as described. Bob has 38+ years of experience, he is very straight-forward & honest in his assessments. Bob's telephone number is 317-894-8185. |

Porsche unlocks secrets of its mid-engine 911
Fri, 23 May 2014Porsche is beginning to realize that it's sitting on a goldmine of automotive history with its secret vault full of rare cars. Autoblog toured it a few months ago, and we were amazed at all of the curiosities hidden inside. Now, it's starting to let more folks in thanks to a new series of YouTube videos. The first covered the 965 prototype that shoved a water-cooled, Audi V8 into one of its cars. Next up, a mid-engine 911 that acted as the powertrain test mule for the Boxster.
The Porsche 911 is inextricably linked to its rear-engine layout. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. However, at the time Porsche was developing the Boxster, the company didn't want to lay all of its cards out of the table during testing. As opposed to using camouflage, it put a whole different car on top. The prototype looked just like any other 911 Targa of the day, but the biggest giveaway that something was amiss was the heavily tinted rear window. By obscuring it, inquisitive journalists couldn't peak at the new engine that replaced the backseat.
It might not look like anything too important on the outside, but this is a major piece of Porsche Boxster history underneath. Scroll down to watch the video about this fascinating prototype.
The 2014 Ruf RCT offers rear-drive action with 911 Turbo fun
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Ruf has 37 years of experience of turning Porsches into even higher performance machines. For the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, it's unveiling the RCT, or Ruf Carrera Turbo, which offers power to split the difference between Porsche's 911 Turbo and Turbo S models.
The RCT starts with a unique body kit with a new front air dam and drastically changed rear deck that combines both a small spoiler and air intake. Power is provided by a twin-turbocharged, 3.8-liter flat-six with 525 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque paired to either a seven-speed manual or seven-speed dual clutch transmission. That gives the Ruf a 5-hp and 15-lb-ft advantage over Porsche's own Turbo but is still less powerful than the full Turbo S. The RCT sprints to 62 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and to a top speed of 196 mph.
However, the Ruf's big advantage is that it offers buyers the choice of either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, while Stuttgart's turbo models are only available spinning all four wheels. The RCT can also offers upgrades like an integrated roll cage and custom suspension packages, should the buyer be so inclined to splash out on racing kit.
Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer
Mon, 07 Oct 2013An Iconic Sports Car, Restored to Seduce
I have been strapped behind the iconic Momo Prototipo steering wheel for a little more than an hour, all windows down as I carve my way up a rugged canyon during an unusually warm Southern California evening, and I am overwhelmed with emotion. My heart is pounding out of my chest, my breathing is heavy and my palms are sweaty because I am completely absorbed by this wondrous machine.
After waiting patiently for nearly four years, I am finally behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 911 restored, modified and tuned by Singer Vehicle Design. The vehicle that surrounds me never rolled off an automaker's assembly line in its current configuration, yet its physical appearance is timeless, build quality breathtaking and driving dynamics peerless.
