Chassis #12800771

Engine # 754748

Gearbox # 902/02 1280825

Paint Code: 15163

A 1968 Porsche 912 Karmann Coupe, burgundy with a black interior, 5 speed gearbox. 110,000 miles on the odometer. The car just came out of a long term ownership. It was off the road for a while. I was told by the previous owner that the engine was completely rebuilt some years ago, although I do not have any records to back up this claim.

The front floors look good but there is rust holes on the rear area including the floors as you can see in the pictures. There are some rust bubbles by the top of the drivers’ side fender and the passenger side rear fender. The paint has some blemishes. Glass is good all the way around.

The interior seems to be all original but there are cracks on the seats and it is showing its age.

1968 Porsche 912 factory paint code reads 15163-L. This is not only a unique and special order color for this 912 but is a rare and unique car since Porsche didn't have a paint code of 15163 in 1968. The COA states that it was Champagne Yellow, a special ordered paint with paint code 16153. Since this was a special ordered paint, when they stamped the factory paint plate "kunstharzlack" they transposed the numbers. This is a unique mistake and one that never seemed to happen at the Porsche factory nor go un-noticed at the Porsche production facility. With our research, this seems to be the only car we have found that has this unique characteristic. You can still see the original Champagne Yellow color through many spots on the car.

Mechanically, we just got the car running and driving but it is not roadworthy. Comes with spare tire and jack.

An excellent candidate for cosmetic restoration. These 912 SWB’s are appreciating in value rapidly.

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.

Porsche CEO Oliver Blume will be installed as head of the VW brand

Wed, Jun 3 2020

Volkswagen Chief Executive Herbert Diess is planning to promote Porsche CEO Oliver Blume to take over as the head of the VW brand, according to a report from Auto Motor und Sport. Citing company sources, the German site said Bernhard Maier, who currently sits at the head of VW's Skoda brand, will lead Porsche in Blume's place. A shuffle at VW isn't surprising. The last thing Volkswagen needs as it transitions away from its long-running "clean diesel" TDI fiasco and into a clean electric ID future is negative press surrounding its burgeoning electrified lineup. Unfortunately, the ID.3 launch has been marred by software issues, with Manager magazine citing company engineers saying "the basic architecture was developed too hastily." Because of that underlying issue, various modules "often do not understand each other" and suffer dropouts. The brand-new eighth-generation Golf launch was also troubled and pushed back due to software problems. And more recently, Volkswagen was forced to pull an advertisement after admitting it was racist and insulting. That marketing misstep, according to the report, will lead to the firing of Chief Marketing Officer Jochen Sengpiehl. Related Video:

Porsche, Hyundai and GM impress in J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, Fiat and Jeep don't

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Consumers continue to struggle with the advanced user interfaces and technologies being fitted to new cars, according to the latest J.D. Power Initial Quality Study. Overall, the industry average for problems per 100 vehicles climbed three percent, to 116 issues reported in the first 90 days of ownership.
Vehicles from the General Motors' family were dominant, with Buick, Chevrolet and GMC capturing more individual IQS segment awards than any other manufacturer. Despite its well-publicized issues, six GM vehicles (Buick Encore, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevy Silverado HD, Chevy Suburban, GMC Terrain and GMC Yukon) were given IQS awards for their respective segments.
Hyundai was ranked the best overall mass-market brand, with just 94 issues in every 100 vehicles reported in the first 90 days. Parent Hyundai Motor Company, meanwhile, trailed GM with five vehicles winning their segments, including the Hyundai Accent, Elantra and Genesis, as well as the Kia Cadenza and Sportage.
