1969 Porsche 912 Factory A/c No Reserve on 2040-cars
Richmond, Indiana, United States
This is a 1969 Porsche 912 that I rescued after sitting in a garage for 25 years.
It is a perfect winter restoration project. The odometer reading is 37279, but it has not worked since I owned it. True mileage is unknown. The speedometer and tachometer, low fuel and warning lights, dash lights, turn signals DO work. The fuel gauge, clock, and horn DON'T work. The wipers DON'T work, but I have motor and drag arms from a 1972, 911 that I will include in this sale. New parts: Sach's clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, fork guides and bushing. Shift rod coupler bushings Changed oil in transmission. Points, plugs, and condenser, distributor cap and button. Rebuilt fuel pump with new parts. Installed a refurbished gas tank from a Porsche dealer. Some new brake lines. Four new tires mounted on original Fuch rims from a 1972 Porsche 911. I have done no mechanical work to the motor myself, but at some point someone has put dual Weber carbs on it. I patched some holes in the passenger side floor pan with sheet metal and fiberglass just to strengthen it. This car came stock with factory air conditioning. It has been disconnected. When getting off the interstate, and sometimes in town, it will backfire. Porsche mechanic believes the carburetors need attention Sometimes smokes in stop-n-go traffic. Has some oil leaks. Body: Has some rust bubbles and chips in the paint, but there are no large holes. Body is straight with no dents. Has amateur paint job. Interior: No work has been done to the interior. There is a split in the drivers seat that is covered in duct tape (see pic). Passenger and rear seats are in good shape. Has Porsche floor mats. Average wear for a 44 year old car. The pictures make the car look cleaner than it actually is. This car is 44 years old, so don't expect perfection!! The wear doesn't show clearly in the pics. I cannot possibly list every imperfection about this car. Please contact me with any questions. I believe it is an excellent car for a restoration project. This is not a car to buy for your16 year old son who thinks he's cool. Car runs and shifts well. I often drive it to work, 40 miles one-way, on the interstate with no problems. It has tight steering and good alignment. Fun to drive and ALWAYS gets compliments!! You must make arrangements to pick-up or ship the car. NO WARRANTY. Sold As-Is. |

Porsche offering new tire option for Carrera GT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Let's face it: finding new tires for older cars can be challenging if tire manufacturers have stopped carrying the right sizes (this writer went through Hell to find a set of 205/60-13s). But what about tires for low-volume supercars, which use sizes that often won't fit on high-volume production vehicles? The Porsche Carrera GT isn't that old and tires are still available in the correct sizes, but the German automaker has shown its support of keeping them on the road by working with Michelin to give owners yet another tire option. Enter the Carrera GT-specific Pilot Super Sport.
It's common knowledge that tires are one of the most important pieces of the performance puzzle, and Porsche claims that the PSS tires, sized 265/35ZR-19 front and 335/30ZR-20 with Porsche's "N0" rating, will improve the Carrera GT's handling and stability all the way up to its claimed top speed of 205 miles per hour. That's important for a car with razor-sharp handling characteristics. They'll also net drivers a 10-percent increase in fuel economy on regular roads and up to 20 percent on racetracks, Porsche says.
The PSSs use cutting-edge tire technology to harness the Carrera GT's 610-horsepower. They have a dual-compound tread that's different from the inside of the tire to the outside, which, Porsche says, helps steering precision and increases maximum grip. Aramid fibers, which are lightweight but just as strong as steel, are used in the tire's belt to reduce unsprung weight.
LaFerrari, McLaren P1, Porsche 918 and Agera R take to Assen
Tue, 10 Jun 2014It's the show-down (sort of) we've all been waiting for. The battle of the hybrid hypercars from the performance powerhouses of Europe: Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. No one publication has managed to get their hands on all three just yet, but this video has - and with a Koenigsegg Agera R thrown in for good measure.
The video was shot by our (unrelated) Dutch compatriots at Autoblog.nl at the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands. The track has played host to Champ Cars and all manner of racing bikes, but this could be the ultimate grid of actual production machinery that's ever lined up behind its start/finish line. Shame the weather was rainy and this unsurpassed array of supercars weren't really racing - more showing off for the crowds. But what a show it was. Scope out the footage in the video below.
Lexus leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2021
Thu, Feb 18 2021J.D. Power's latest Vehicle Dependability Study is out, and, not surprisingly, Lexus sits at the top for the ninth time in the last 10 years. Right behind Lexus is Porsche, followed by Kia, which is the highest-ranked mass-market brand in the study. Genesis, last year's top-ranked brand (in its first year included in the results), fell from first to eighth, though the G80 sedan did earn an award in its midsize luxury segment. The Porsche 911 was called out as the Most Dependable Model by J.D. Power for the second time in the last three years. The vehicles being studied are from the 2018 model year, which means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's notable that this year's study shows a marked improvement in overall vehicle dependability as tracked by J.D. Power. The overall level of problems, scored by the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), declined by 10% compared to last year. "The study results validate what we have known for some time," said Dave Sargent, vice president of global automotive at J.D. Power. "Automakers are making increasingly dependable vehicles — but there are still some problem areas that need to be addressed and some warning signs on the horizon." Tesla makes its inaugural appearance on the Dependability Study, though its score of 176 PP100 isn't official. Tesla is the only automaker that has chosen not to grant J.D. Power permission to survey its owners in all 50 states. As we've pointed out in the past, the Vehicle Dependability Study includes eight major vehicle categories grouped by J.D. Power as follows: audio/communication/entertainment/navigation (ACEN); engine/transmission; exterior; interior; features/controls/displays (FCD); driving experience; heating, ventilation and air conditioning; and seats. All issues reported by owners are all tracked equally, which means a problematic phone pairing procedure dings an automaker's rating the same as a blown engine or transmission. And in fact, the ACEN category has more reported problems than any other, which means the majority of problems reported don't lead to a vehicle that leaves its owner stranded.
