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. |

Ferdinand Piech (1937-2019): The man who made VW global
Tue, Aug 27 2019Towering among his peers, a giant of the auto industry died Sunday night in Rosenheim/Upper Bavaria, Germany. Ferdinand Piech, a grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, who conceived the original Volkswagen in the 1930s, was the most polarizing automotive executive of our times. And one who brought automotive technology further than anyone else. Ferdinand Porsche had a son, Ferdinand (called "Ferry"), and a daughter, Louise, who married the Viennese lawyer Anton Piech. They gave birth to Ferdinand Piech, and his proximity to two Alfa Romeo sports cars — Porsche had done some work for the Italians — and the "Berlin-Rome-Berlin" race car, developed by Porsche himself, gave birth to Piech's interest in cars. After his teachers in Salzburg told his mother he was "too stupid" to attend school there, Piech, who was open about his dyslexia, was sent to a boarding school in Switzerland. He subsequently moved on to Porsche, where he fixed issues with the 904 race car and did major work on the 911. But his greatest project was the Le Mans-winning 917 race car, developed at breathtaking financial cost. It annihilated the competition, but the family had had enough: Amid growing tension among the four cousins working at Porsche and Piech's uncle Ferry, the family decided to pull every family member, except for Ferry, out of their management positions. Piech started his own consultancy business, where he designed the famous five-cylinder diesel for Mercedes-Benz, but quickly moved on to Audi, first as an engineer and then as CEO, where he set out to transform the dull brand into a technology leader. Piech killed the Wankel engine and hammered out a number of ambitious and sophisticated technologies. Among them: The five-cylinder gasoline engine; Quattro all-wheel drive and Audi's fantastic rally successes; and turbocharging, developed with Fritz Indra, whom Piech recruited from Alpina. The Audi 100/200/5000 became the world's fastest production sedan, thanks to their superior aerodynamics. Piech also launched zinc-coated bodies for longevity — and gave diesel technology a decisive boost with the advent of the fast and ultra-efficient TDI engines. Less known: Piech also decided to put larger gas tanks into cars. Customers loved it. Piech's first-generation Audi V8 was met with derision by competitors; it was too obviously based on the 200/5000.
Porsche 911 GT2 RS vs. Mercedes SLS AMG Black in battle of who can shred more rubber
Fri, 04 Apr 2014We might be looking at the end of an era in European performance models. Mercedes-Benz is doing away with the SLS in favor of a rumored smaller and cheaper SLC, and Porsche has said that a new 911 GT2 isn't necessarily a sure thing, which means another 911 GT2 RS is even farther away. In its latest video, Evo's Jethro Bovingdon pits the ultimate versions of these German sports coupes against each other and finds two of the fastest cars the magazine has ever lapped around its track.
In one corner, there is the Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series that sits as the pinnacle of the company's halo model. It relies on the classic setup of a V8 mounted in front powering the rear wheels. On the other side, there is the 911 GT2 RS with a turbocharged flat-six mounted at the back, spinning the rear wheels. It was conceived to be Porsche's ultimate expression of a turbocharged 911, and while it's a few years old, Bovingdon shows that it's up to the task of racing a more modern rival.
Both of these rear-wheel-drive monsters are more than capable of some fantastically smoky power-slides, but they also show how great the last generation of sports cars was. Scroll down to check out the video.
