This auction is for a 1968 Porsche 912 (last year for short wheel base). It has the original engine and transaxle. This is a California car with its entire life spent in California. It was a true barn find and we have had the Porsche since February 1996. It has been thoroughly restored. We are the 3rd owner. The engine machine work was accomplished by Competition Engineering in Lake Isabella, California and they are well known for the highest caliber of work.
The Engine was upgraded with 1750 cc pistons during the overhaul, and dual Weber's were installed for enhanced performance. All seals were replaced in the process and there are no leaks. The car has about 3000 miles on it since the complete restoration and the engine and gear box sound and perform with excellent power.
Steering and suspension all in excellent condition. New brake pads and rotors were turned. A complete four wheel alignment was accomplished to ensure proper tracking. The car was completely stripped of glass, trim, weather-stripping and gaskets and recently painted lemon yellow to match up as close to original color as possible. Porsche color code 1012 was original color. All new weather-stripping and gaskets were replaced. The glass is in good condition, free of any cracks and separations. Dash pad and upholstery redone using top quality materials. Door, deck lid and bonnet gaps are as original. The car comes with freshly polished wheels on all corners. All instrumentation was reconditioned at North Hollywood Speedometer and are functional and operating as they should. The radio has been replaced with a more updated one, with fresh speakers. This Porsche is ready to run and be driven. It is not concourse, but in great condition. It handles, shifts and drives well at freeway speeds, and is great fun to drive. The short wheel base Porsche 912's are fast becoming collectibles and those in good condition demand a premium price. A stack of receipts is available to the owner.
The car is available for viewing and inspection by appointment. Any further questions, please feel free to ask.

VW Group to split brands under four holding companies
Tue, Jun 16 2015The Volkswagen Group is planning a tremendous shift in its internal structure that will decentralize operations by splitting its 12 brands into four different holding companies. Here's the breakdown. Things will be split logically, considering the inter-sharing of parts, platforms, and engines. The Volkswagen brand, Seat, and Skoda make up a passenger vehicle division led by former BMW man Herbert Diess. Audi, which is tightly intertwined with Lamborghini and motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, will be managed by current Audi exec Rupert Stadler. Porsche and Bentley, which are already quite close, will be joined by Bugatti and run by Matthias Mueller. Finally, a commercial vehicles division will include Volkswagen Commercial, Scania, and Man. Former Daimler exec Andreas Renschler will take care of the big vehicles. The massive move, according to Automotive News Europe, is part of an internal VAG effort to move away from the structure established by ousted Chairman Ferdinand Piech, who favored a compact, but highly centralized, management structure to oversee the independent actions of the company's brands. Criticism of Piech's arrangement stemmed from the company's slow responses to changes in the market, ANE reports. The new structure should make for a more efficient, streamlined company that's better able to make crucial decisions. What are your thoughts? Should VAG decentralize, or did Piech have the right idea? Have your say in Comments.
World Car of the Year finalists announced
Fri, 07 Mar 2014To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).
