You are bidding on a wonderful original unmolested 1976 Porsche 912E. 

The car runs and drives quite well.  It still has its original fuel injection system.  The transmission shifts up and down through all gears perfectly.  The car has no problems keeping up with highway speeds   This car is as rust free as I have ever seen an old Porsche.  I wiped the dirt off the bottom of the floor pans and it revealed the most factory fresh looking bottom I have ever seen.  The car presents quite well however the paint is by no means perfect.  There are scratches , chips, touch ups and other wear.  But it looks very good for a 40 year old car.  All instruments function properly including the clock which actually keeps time.  There are cracks in the dash and normal wear and tear in the interior.  The leather seats are in wonderful condition.  The trunk area is very tidy and original.  The spare has never been used.   The engine compartment is tidy as well.  The engine starts up on the first crank cold or warm.  The engine does have trouble idling until it is warm but goes down the road with no problems.  All and All it is a fantastic example on a very original and unmolested 912E in beautiful Irish Green.

The car is being sold "AS IS"  "where is" .  There is no warranty of any kind.  Buyer is responsible for shipping or transport.  I will certainly assist you or a transport company in preparing the car for transport. 

I reserve the right to end the auction early. 

This car is being offered with a low reserve so Bid to win.

If you have any questions please feel free to call me anytime and I will do my best to assist you.

Thank you for looking.  Happy bidding and Happy Motoring,

Darren Hall

This car is completely RUST FREE.  I got a question about one of the photos where the Drivers side rear quarter shows a small rusty looking spot behind the rear wheel where the fender meets the rear bumper.  The spot is red primer coming through where the previous owner burned through it with a buffer.  That is the only major paint defect on the car.  I have a small collection of early Porsche.  It is small due to space and because of this I am very picky about any car I purchase.  I have an overwhelming lust for original unrestored cars and that is why I purchased this car.  It is a very good and honest example of an unrestored Porsche.  The only things that have changed are a few areas where there has been paint touch up and the radio is not original.  I have placed as many pics as I can on the listing showing areas that I would have concern.  Most of the pics are to show you real condition.  The car shows wonderfully as a driver.  This is a must have car for Porsche collectors.  There just were not that many made and there are not many left.  Especially in this kind of condition.

Consumer Reports selling its road-tested roadsters [w/video]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Here's a chance to acquire a celebrity-owned vehicles, and this time at a discount instead of a premium. So the celebrity in this case is Consumer Reports, that magazine that could be equally adored and abhored by car enthusiasts. CR buys all of its test vehicles and usually finds willing second owners within its own ranks, but its opening its small used-car lot to the public. On the forecourt are four roadsters: an automatic 2012 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Tronic with 6,600 miles for $36,500, a manual 2012 BMW Z4 sDrive28i with 8,400 miles for $45,000, a manual 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 for $39,500 and a manual 2013 Porsche Boxster with 7,000 miles for $48,000.
Those numbers mean a savings of $9,000 to $10,000 before haggling - each car is listed with an "Asking price" so there could be some wiggle room if you show up with pockets full of dough and eyes full of serious intent. Since the money CR earns from the sales go back into the magazine's budget to buy more test cars, however, it probably won't take any oddball trades, so you can forget about getting any purchasing help from that track-day AMC Javelin project on blocks in the back yard.
The vehicles have been taken care of and spiffed up for sale; buyers will take delivery at the CR test track in East Haddam, Connecticut and get a tour of the facilities. While you're there they'll even take you on a lap around the track so you can feel how your car handles when driven by one of its testers. They will probably not help you with advice on which toaster and dehumidifier to buy - you'll still need to get a subscription for that. Have a look at the video below to see a day in the life of a CR test car.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets

Tue, Jul 17 2018

Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.

Porsche forum claims eco-friendly 911 Blu coming to Frankfurt

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The fiftieth anniversary of the Porsche 911 has been a nearly year-long affair, with unique tributes and even a special anniversary edition with plenty of retro throwbacks. The party is expected to continue through the end of 2013, and if one 911 enthusiast forum is right, we'll see yet another special edition model near the anniversary of the original car's September 1963 debut, when it arrives at next month's Frankfurt Auto Show.
It's called the 911 Blu, and where the 911 50 Years Edition was more expensive than a 911 Carrera S hardtop, the Blu would be an entry level special edition. That's right, a limited run car that actually slots in at the very bottom of the 911 range. According to Porsche forum 911UK.com, the new car would be priced at 74,600 euros ($98,718 at today's rates) or 64,750 pounds. That undercuts the price of a base 911 in Germany by nearly 16,000 euros and in the UK by nearly 8700 pounds (although to be fair, it's roughly identical to the price of a base 911 C2S in the US).
This 911 will reportedly feature a detuned flat-six with 300 horsepower and 211 pound-feet of torque.
