1968 PORSCHE 912 SOFT WINDOW TARGA
In Good Running Order Needs Cosmetic Restoration
The time has come to at long last part with my very rare 1968 912 "Soft Window" Targa that I have owned since 1980. According to the 912 Registry only 180 "Soft Window" Targas are known to exist. Beginning in January, 1968, Porsche constructed Version I (i.e., Soft Window) Targas with a package shelf containing two small lockable compartments in place of the rear seats. From late 1966 until 1969, Porsche produced a total of 2562 912 Targas, less than 8 percent of all 912s.
This 912 drives well and the rebuilt 4 cylinder 1582 cc 102 hp S-90 engine runs strong with all systems in working order. The steering is tight and it handles like a Porsche should, smooth clutch, brakes in good working order (new pads and brake lines), new shocks and struts and new tires for a comforatable ride. Shifting through the standard 4-speed manual transmission is effortless. It, also, has a new battery. Overall a very good car mechanically.
A California car, it has virtually no rust. The only visable rust is at the base of both front fenders just in front of the doors and the pan has a rust spot behind the driver's seat. The pan is original and has never been patched. The front trunk lid, the battery area the spare tire well, and the heater box area solid. Overall this is an excellent opportunity to purchase a SWB 912 in rare and interesting colors that offers turn-key weekend fun as a driver quality.
The body has never suufered severe damage, and it is very straight. The only damage to the body are minor dings and scrstches; the body is Bondo and filler free. The doors open and close properly without binding, and the door gaps are uniform. The paint is not orignal to the car, and it has faded and there is some oxidation. The interior is in poor condition and the rear jump seats are missing. A car that is as substantially all there and mecchanically sound as this 1968 912 "Soft Window" Targa in need of a cosmetic restorastion only is a rare find.
I have all maintenance and repair records for the period of my ownership. The vehicle's California registration and tags are current. The reported milageis what the odometer shows, I do not know if it is accurate or not. I will assist in arranging to ship the vehicle worldwide. Please email me with any questions you might hvae or to make an appointment for a vehicle inspection. Good luck and good bidding!

Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
Another cool projection vid, this time with a Porsche 911
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Porsche has become the latest automaker to take advantage of clever projection technology. The automaker worked up a quick presentation for the 2013 911 Carrera 4S to show off a bit of "motionless driving." The display tracks the sports car from production to back-road caning and city-center cruising, displaying a variety of exterior color choices and wheel options without resorting to a two-dimensional video.
This isn't the first time we've seen an automaker use its new product as a projection screen. Subaru, Hyundai, Lamborghini and others have all done the same, and the trick never fails to be visually interesting.
As you may recall, we got to play with the 2013 911 Carrera 4S back in November and found the machine to be a better daily driver than its rear-wheel drive counterpart. You can check out the projection video below.
