Engine and transmission are original. Engine Serial # is 40959086.
As the 911 market rises to stratospheric levels, these 912 models will be the next to jump. Get in early on the 912 market and enjoy the classic 911 lines with a peppy engine and even better handling. The lower and more central mass of the engine on the 912 makes it a more eager companion on twisting back roads, while still providing all of the classic thrills of vintage Porsche ownership.
This 912 has a beautiful interior with leather-lined microsuede seats. It also has the highly-desirable five-gauge dash configuration found on the 911, rather than the three-gauge setup on many 912s. The carpet is in great shape (with NO rust underneath) and the dash has no cracking or pealing. All of the dash lighting works, as well as the exterior lights.
At some point, according to the previous owner, the 912 has been repainted in it's original color - Ossi blue. In person, it is incredible to behold: deep and rich in tone, while absorbing and reflecting the natural colors around it. Pictures can't do it justice!
The engine is a 1600cc flat four-cylinder with Weber Carbs. When I bought the car, it was running slightly rough, but a trip to my local aircooled Porsche specialist fixed that! I would honestly say the engine is the high point for the car. Everything has been gone through in meticulous detail to make this a strong-running and RELIABLE 912. It may take a few seconds to crank over in the cold, but it ALWAYS starts and has never left me stranded in a parking lot over the time I've owned it. After its most recent trip to the mechanic earlier this year, the car hasn't leaked a single drop of oil. Most aircooled cars will lose a few drops a day, but for some reason I got lucky with this one.
On that first tune-up visit in June of last year, the car had the following installed:
-Correct "031" Distributor
-Pertronix Ignitor
-Distributor Cap-
-Rotor
-Spark Plug Wire Set
-Rebuilt mechanical fuel pump
-Spark Plugs
-Fuel Pump Spacer
-New Belts
-32mm Venturis
-Emulsion Tubes

Mark Webber treats Maria Sharapova to a Porsche 918 Spyder joyride
Tue, 29 Apr 2014We don't much like Mark Webber right now. Part of being a racing driver is dealing with promotional stuff. It's not hard to find a driver that can't stand all this nonsense, whether it be promoting a product, meeting investors or attending some obscure event. Even a driver of Webber's caliber - a former Formula One driver for Red Bull Racing and a member of Porsche's factory Le Mans team - has to serve his time at the promo events.
Somehow, though, we don't think the Aussie driver minds this particular promo detail. In the video below, Webber attends the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart. He then takes tennis superstar Maria Sharapova out for a spin behind the wheel of the Porsche 918 Spyder. The level of jealousy at the Autoblog office is palpable.
Take a look below for the video. And as we're super jealous of Mr. Webber, hop into Comments and caption the above photo based on what you think he's saying to Maria. Bonus points if you can work "vegemite" into the caption.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
Porsche celebrates 5M Facebook fans with crowdsourced one-off 911
Mon, 05 Aug 2013Porsche's Facebook fan base appears to be accelerating as quickly as the cars it builds. The German automaker has just unveiled a special 911 Carrera 4S designed with crowdsourced input as a way to thank its five million Facebook fans.
The 911 features special Aquablaumetallic paint from Porsche Exclusive, contrasting 20-inch white Carrera S wheels and pinstriping, along with an aero package including a fixed rear wing. Inside, there are unique backlit sill plates and the obligatory dashboard engraving that says "Personally Built by 5 Million Porsche Fans."
As a way to turn at least one virtual thumbs up into its more meaningful physical-world equivalent, Porsche is holding a contest to win the chance to drive the car at Britain's Silverstone racetrack - and bring a friend - and nine lucky runners-up will win 1:43-scale models of the 911.
