This 1968 Porsche 912 was found residing peacefully under a two story brick building in the SF Bay Area. It had one flat tire and a dead battery. Once these minor items were corrected this 912 attended the annual air cooled gathering in Concord California. It was a sweltering 90 degree day and the porsche chirped along admirably at a 65 mph clip. The shifting is lovely and the gear selection is effortless. The rear caliper heated up that day and the problem was determined to be an incorrectly installed emergency brake cable. This deficiently was resolved at Eason Motor Works were an oil change was performed in addition to a total brake bleed out. The car stops very well and the e-brake works as it should. Some minor work was done to the shifter and the 912 was then given a clean bill of health. At this time, it was also described by the lead mechanic as a "good little runner." In addition to these kudos, the 912 was also examined at the renowned Porsche Parts Hub, "Easy Porsche." Where it elicited such observations as, "Sweet," "honest," and "Nice." It was also determined at this time that the engine is a late '67 engine with '68 parts. This was described as "the best of both worlds." However the purists may disagree. The experts with which I conferred also deemed that the seats were from a '69 911, which was discouraging as the tracks will not hold the seats in place. This does not keep me from enjoying the car. Unfortunately an aftermarket stereo was installed with total disregard to maintaining the originality of the Porsche. The front door panels have been cut for speakers. The headliner has some imperfections that will need correction if you are after a perfect specimen. The dash cover has cracked and will need a redo. The body is a lovely site. I believe it has had one repaint in its original color. The driver's side door appears to have been replaced as i found some burgundy paint under the door panel. There is a dime sized door ding on the driver's side rear quarter. The rear bumper appears to sag a little and its missing it's gasket. The paint is not perfect and has some blemishes, scratches and dull spots. Don't let my criticism deter you from making your own decision. This car is spectacular in person and as I write this, has just completed a 100 miles jaunt in a wedding procession. You will not be disappointed with your purchase. The prices on this model are soaring. You may want to act quickly if this porsche experience is on your bucket list. Please check our feedback. Don't bid if your follow through is questionable. Shipping and pre-inspection is available.

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.
Hyundai, Porsche top J.D. Power APEAL study
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Just as they did in the Initial Quality Study, Porsche and Hyundai have taken the premium and non-premium crown, respectively, for the 2014 J.D. Power APEAL study. This is the tenth consecutive year for that Porsche has been rated the best premium make in the APEAL study, which attempts to figure out how pleased owners are with their purchases. For 2014, it asked 86,000 owners of MY2014 cars to rate their vehicles in 77 different categories 90 days after their initial purchase. The resulting figures were plugged in deliver the APEAL score, which is rated on a 1,000-point scale.
The industry average sits at 794 points for 2014, although that's a one-percent decline over last year's rating. In this year's study, premium brands averaged 840 out of 1,000, while non-premium makes average 785. For their part, Porsche netted an impressive 882 points, while Hyundai earned an 804. Interestingly, only four non-premium brands (Hyundai, Ram, Volkswagen and Mini) finished above the industry average for 2014.
It's also interesting to see the clear delineation between premium and non-premium brands, with an eight-point gap between the non-premium champ, Hyundai, and the lowest-rated premium brand, Volvo.
