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.

VW adding particulate filters to gas engines

Wed, Aug 3 2016

Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.

Porsche 918 Spyder could lap the 'Ring even quicker [w/video]

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Porsche had a lot to crow about at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. Not only did it debut the new 50 Years edition and Turbo versions of the 911 and the new hybrid and diesel versions of the Panamera, but while unveiling the final production version of the new 918 Spyder, it revealed the record lap it set around the Nürburgring.
The 918 Spyder's 6:57 lap time makes it the fastest street-legal production car ever to lap the Nordschleife and the first to break the seven-minute barrier. But the driver who clocked the time thinks it can go even faster.
That driver was Marc Lieb, who has won the Nürburgring 24-hour race four times, making him something of an expert on the subject. In speaking with Australia's Drive TV, Lieb suggested that they could get even more out of the car, as you can hear for yourself in the video below.

Here's what Jay Leno will be working on in 2016

Tue, Dec 29 2015

Jay Leno always has a project or five underway in his garage, and since 2015 is practically over, his latest video offers a glimpse at some of the amazing vehicles we might see his team complete in the coming year. Leno's crew certainly has a lot to do next year. Leno's most impressive current undertaking is an effort to modernize a 1914 Detroit Electric with about ten times its original power output. He showed off the vintage EV as just a shell in his last tour of the garage, but his team has now recreated the wood body. They also started the project's bigger challenge of installing a new electric motor and lithium-ion batteries from a Nissan Leaf. If EVs don't interest you, Leno has plenty of other irons in the fire, too. There's a 1971 Porsche 911 that's under restoration to turn it into a solid driver and several motorcycles in various states of repair. Leno even welcomes viewers into his dyno room to check out the work on the Chrysler V8 for his Cunningham. The results of this wrenching and welding on these projects should make for even more compelling videos in 2016.
