1968 Porsche 912 Lwb Car on 2040-cars
Saint Augustine, Florida, United States
This is a 1968 Porsche 912. I consider this car a project at this time. It has some rust areas but in my opinion is worth saving. It is a late 1968 model and is a long wheelbase car. The car is fairly complete minus the engine which was replaced by a VW based type 3 1600 engine with dual single barrel solex carburetors. I do not have the original engine. This car was a driver 3 years ago and I did drive it but has sat outside since then. I have not attempted to drive the car and it would need to be trailered. And again I feel it is a project car.
Lets start with the good. Clear Florida title. Car has original steel wheels and hub caps, including spare, and jack. Original interior in decent shape, houndstooth insert seats that have a few small tears in them. Seat belts and some of its carpet (unfortunately not all), 5 gauge dash. It looks as though the dash was taken off, leather removed and covered with a painted fiberglass?, not sure but it looks good. All glass is original minus the windshield. All mirrors, trim, badge, emblems are all present. Wheel wells are pretty clean front and rear. Chrome is good on the car. Original 5 speed transmission that shifts smoothly. Doors and door bottoms are in good shape, body is straight. Hood and deck lid are in good shape. Car was originally silver and still shows areas of silver but also areas of primer. Now for the bad. It is missing its original engine. The VW type 3 engine was placed in and tin work done to seal the engine bay. No alterations to the engine bay were done. It does have some typical rust issues. Patch work on the floorpans have been done. Rear corner lowers of The front bumper is rusted beyond repair and will need to be replaced. The front apron is slightly rusted along with the a small section of the battery tray but the front fenders are in good shape and front trunk area is clean and rust free. It has a nice smugglers box area. Some rust under the right rear seat area. I had the notion in me to part the car as I have several projects/ running cars but I feel that the car is in good enough shape to have something done with it besides parting it. I reserve the right to stop the auction at anytime. If you are local and would like to come and see the car, I am more than happy to help any way that I can. I will not toe the car somewhere to have it looked at though. It is a no reserve auction. Long hood early cars are getting harder to find complete. Does this one need some love? Of coarse it does, thats the fun in it, right? Buyer is responsible for pickup and/or arranging shipping. I accept CASH or US POSTAL MONEY ORDERS. |

Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:

BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
Porsche to develop new line of engines for next Panamera
Sat, 22 Mar 2014When the second generation of the four-door Porsche Panamera launches, it will likely be riding a new platform, complete with an all-new family of V6 and V8 engines, according to a report coming out of the UK.
Autocar reports that the so-called MSB platform will likely underpin the Panamera, and it could be shared with Bentley, provided the Volkswagen-owned, British-built brand commits to the architecture. As for the engines, it's reported that they'll have a sportier character than the V6s and V8s being built for Volkswagen and Audi's vehicles.
"Porsche will have its own new V8 that will be common to the new MSB platform," Porsche's chief engineer, Wolfgang Hatz, said. "It's a family for the next 10 years of cars." Whether the V8 and V6 will be used outside of the Panamera line, though, remains unclear. There's also no mention of what place turbocharging would have with the new engines.
Porsche kicks off Macan production at revamped Leipzig plant
Sun, 16 Feb 2014After over two years of construction and roughly 500 million euros ($684 million at current rates) invested, Porsche finally opened its Leipzig, Germany, factory expansion on February 11. The improvements to the plant are dedicated to building the Macan and include a new body shop, paint shop and assembly line that are advancing Porsche's goal to sell 50,000 Macan's per year. The company believes that the new model is going to push it to over 200,000 annual sales 3 years ahead of schedule, and the enlarged branch can support even more Macan production, if there is demand.
"We are totally convinced in the qualities of this location and that the Macan will be a marketing success," said Porsche Chairman Matthias Müller during the opening celebration. The company opened its Leipzig factory in 2002 to build the Cayenne and added Panamera production in 2009.
The Macan models are due to launch in the US this summer with prices starting at $49,900. Scroll down to learn all of the details about the Macan's Leipzig assembly plant.
