Up for auction in my 1976 PORSCHE 912e. This car was a part of my 52 car collection of vintage air cooled Porsche's and vintage Volkswagens, this is the very last air cooled German car left in the collection to be sold.I am a long time member in good standing with the Porsche Club of America (PCA) and I have a great reputation in the industry. The car was found and purchased for me by a Southern California auto broker in 2009 and was delivered to me at my home in Durango Colorado on 11/4/2009. The auto broker that purchased the car for me has located and purchased many cars for me over the years and he knows my high standards for purchases. The cars I buy have to be rust free, wreck free and as original as possible and this Porsche 912e met all those guidelines. When I purchased the car it had a very low 133,559 original miles on the odometer and the car now has only 133,855 original miles on the odometer.This is the last car to be sold because I purchased this car for my wife. She dearly loves the car but she never drives it and we are at a point in ours lives where we have two kids in college and our third child is going to need a first car soon so we are selling this car to purchase a new truck for our Son. The Porsche 912e is a very rare car with only 2099 of these cars ever being built and only for the North American market . Out of that 2099 only 500 had sunroofs and only 500 had air conditioning. This car originally had an air conditioner (making this car one of the really rare examples) and the air conditioner pump is still on the car but the controls and vents that were mounted under the dash of the car have been removed by the previous owner. My broker has tried to get this piece from the previous owner several times over the years but has had no luck (this piece is a very common part and is readily available). The 912e is a 911 in every aspect with the exception of 14' Fuchs wheels instead if the 15' that the 911. The 912e gets smaller brakes and the Boxer style four cylinder motor that was derived from the Porsche 356. The 912e was the last four cylinder rear engine car that Porsche ever built. The 912e is much lighter than the 911 and is considered by many top collectors to be the best drivers car Porsche ever produced. The Boxer style motor has been proven over and over through time to be the most reliable and "bullet-proof" motor ever produced by Porsche. Although Volkswagen was heavily involved with Porsche in 1976 the motor in the 912e is all Porsche. The 912e has great fuel economy and the motor in very powerful, it is coupled with a smooth shifting 5 speed transmission. The 912e has a fuel range of 600 miles per tank of gas and it is very inexpensive to run and maintain. Porsche has alway overbuilt their cars and the 912e is no exception. I STRONGLY recommend that you look at Porsche912e.com for a better history and details on this fine automobile. Being very picky as a buyer I purchased this car for my wife knowing that the car is a solid investment quality automobile. This Porsche 912e is a factory yellow car with black vinyl interior, the paint is mostly original but the doors have been painted probably sometime in the '80's and the paint is in really good condition. The interior is completely stock (with the exception of a aftermarket radio that does not work). The only flaws on the interior is a split seam on the passenger seat which is easily repairable and there is one crack on the original dash on the passenger side. The VIN # on this car is 9126001261 making this car the #1261 car to roll off the production line. This car is a very original, complete, well sorted and well maintained numbers matching automobile and it is an original California Blue Plate Car (Blue Plate comes with the car) that has been garaged/ warehoused it's entire life in Southern California and more recently Central Texas. This 912e has to be one of the best original/survivor 912e's in the world, it starts, runs, shifts, drives and stops very well and I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere at any distance. The car sounds, feels, smells and like only a Porsche can and it still has that "PING" sound when you shut the doors (Porsche owners will know what I mean). All the gaps are great and it retains all of it's factory glass. 912e's are coming into the realm of being highly sought after collector cars that are gaining tremendously (and quickly) in value, prices on #1 and #2 condition 912e's have doubled since 2010 and that fact makes it a good time for me to sell the car. This is an opportunity for someone to buy this car at a good price and sit back and watch the car appreciate in value with very little maintenance cost. DON'T PASS THIS CAR UP BECAUSE YOU WILL REGRET IT. This car will drive anywhere and this is a car that you can fly in and drive it home however there are no warranties or guarantees expressed or implied. Outside inspections are welcomed by appointment only and the deposit is non-refundable. Please take a look at my feedback when considering the purchase of this automobile. Bid with confidence and bid to win this beautiful 1976 porsche 912e. Thank you for taking the time to look at my auction and as always HAPPY MOTORING.

Yesterday we showed you the shiny Ford Fiesta that Ken Block will slide, spin, and hoon through the next Gymkhana video. In case the image above isn't clear, that video will drop at midnight EST on February 30th on the Ford Performance YouTube channel. We don't know all the entire premise of the video yet, but this Tweet from the man himself reveals that the video will be set in Dubai. Block is standing on the Fiesta we saw yesterday, and arrayed behind him are a handful of those famous Dubai Police cars you're probably familiar with. The force has a fleet of sportscars and supercars, and the purpose is outreach and goodwill among its citizenry, not necessarily the pursuit of criminals. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. From left to right, we can see a Maserati GranTurismo, Porsche 911, what looks to be a Nissan GT-R obscured by Block's Fiesta, a McLaren (likely a 650S), Ford Mustang, and a Ferrari 599 of some ilk. Will they take part? Maybe Block will try and run from what might be the most horsepower-intensive police fleet in the world. We'll have answers (and a few minutes of pure Block hooniganism) in a few days. Related Video:

It looks like 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 drivers might actually get to drive their cars again soon. Reports of fires affecting the track-ready Germans first began about a month ago. Then, a few days later, the automaker confirmed two of the five alleged blazes and said owners shouldn't drive their cars until further notice. Porsche then went so far as to offer to pick up the GT3s and transport them to the nearest dealer until the problem was identified and a fix was found. Finally, there appears to be a repair.
"We know the reason and the problem-solving measures. We're testing them," said Porsche CEO Matthias Müller to Bloomberg. The technical fix will be released to owners shortly.
The recall affects all 785 GT3s that have been sold so far, but there have been no reported injuries caused by the fires. When it first announced the safety campaign, Porsche said: "Internal studies to determine the cause of the engine damage have not been completed yet."

A few months back, we took a 500-foot view of the culture of American cars, dissecting prides and prejudices on our way to the conclusion that automotive allegiances can be simultaneously embraced and derided. We had so much fun with the narrative that we decided to do it again, this time taking a look at Germany and its world-renowned lineup of automakers, including the likes of Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen, among others. Join us below as we discuss the points and counterpoints that make or have made the German auto industry what it is today. And remember, Germany did pretty much invent the automobile, after all... The V12 Engine If America is known for the proliferation of the V8 engine, an argument could be made that Germany owns the V12. Yes, of course, other companies have created V12 engines – Ferrari, Jaguar and Lamborghini immediately come to mind – but the big 12-cylinder powerplants from BMW and Mercedes-Benz, in particular, have proven to be some of the most effortless, luxurious and downright over-built engines the world has ever seen. These days, having 12 cylinders is more a case of wretched excess than ever before, and yet, you can still stroll into your local BMW or Mercedes dealership and get a brand-new 760i, S600 or even an over-the-top G65 AMG, efficiency be damned. Best of all, since the majority of these German powerhouses depreciate as fast as an anchor sinks, nearly any auto enthusiast who dreams of a dozen cylinders can satisfy their carnal desires. Current Star: 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 View 28 Photos Diesel Engines Remember how we talked about those glorious V12 engines? Well, you can even get one from Audi that runs on diesel. If your compression-ignition fantasies err more on the side of fuel savings, that's no problem, either. Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen have got you covered, with engines starting as small as 800 cubic centimeters (Smart Fortwo). If you want something a little more practical, it's hard to argue with a VW Golf TDI, which will provide plenty of space for you and three of your best friends, plus a fair bit of luggage, all while returning 50-ish miles per gallon. For the purposes of this discussion, we'd rather focus on the asinine levels of torque provided by Germany's high-end diesel engines than the lower-end fuel sippers.
