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.

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.

A closer look at the 2015 Porsche Macan

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

He assured us that "this is a sports car."
Porsche took the wraps off its all-new 2015 Macan at the LA Auto Show last week, and while it's easy to write it off as just a badge-engineered version of the Audi Q5, you'd be very, very wrong. For starters, 75 percent of the car's platform was re-engineered by the Porsche team, and with a choice of two twin-turbocharged engines, the Macan should absolutely live up to the brand's pedigree.

Porsche 918 Spyder officially priced from $845K, Weissach package $84K more

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Porsche has released official pricing for its entire lineup of 2013 models, which just happens to include the upcoming 918 Spyder hybrid supercar. The 795-horsepower advanced-technology-lab-on-wheels is now officially confirmed to have a starting price of $845,000 in the US, which is the exact amount we were told earlier when we had the opportunity to ride shotgun in some 918 Spyder pre-production test vehicles.
What we didn't know at the time was the cost of the Weissach trim package, which is a high-performance upgrade to the standard vehicle that includes the deletion of some interior amenities and addition of lighter-weight carbon fiber appointments, magnesium wheels, flame-resistant upholstery, racing belts and aerodynamic aids - it's meant for track-going folk who intend to use their 918 Spyders as God, country and manufacturer intended.
All told, the Weissach package should drop the 918 Spyder's curb weight by some 80 pounds, while also lightening your wallet of an additional $84,000 - the car's MSRP with the Weissach package is $929,000. These prices don't, however, include destination charges, which, for something like the very limited edition 918 Spyder (only 918 will be made), could very well cost considerably more than your average Porsche.
