My lifetime California driven 912E must go. Head turner. It is beautiful and it is going UP in value! Porsche billed it as the "long distance sports car" because of its 30MPG plus on the 20-gallon tank.

CA registration paid through May 12, 2014. Vehicle will be CA smog certified prior to delivery as well. (I just got back from vacation and will be here until the auction closes.)

My fix priced auction just ended. I received 10 offers. 8 of these offers were from $13,500 to $15,000. I refused these offers but am now resigned to selling to the highest bidder rather than my fixed price. If and when you sell the vehicle you will make money. Something you won't do with a Camry!

Fun to drive! Will go anywhere. People love the car.

I am an older guy, downsizing and selling extra vehicles. I have babied this car! It is unmolested.

This is an exceptional example. The 912E was only manufactured in 1976 with 2055 built worldwide. This is number 70. Rare with original sunroof (only about 500 of the 2055 came with the factory sunroof).

Upon purchasing the car I spent just over $3000 on a complete rebuild of the sunroof cables and gears, along with all fuel lines, filters, struts to hold up the hood and all other small items needed. I had the work done at my Porsche shop, KB Motorsports, in San Marcos CA. Kip treats me well and has looked after me for years. I asked him to drive it himself and suggest any repairs. He recommended the fuel lines as a precaution, they were not leaking but older and beginning to discolor. The receipts for these two services done in 2011 with 148065 on the odometer will accompany the car.

This car Drives GREAT. Tight turning, no suspension noises, rolls beautifully down the road. Could be driven anywhere. The clutch is perfect. The transmission hits the gates cleanly and shifts nicely. The motor was recently rebuilt according to Kip and is stock. It runs perfectly.

The car is exceptional because it is nearly 38 years old and has no rust or rot. There is no rust underneath, nor in the trunk, cabin or engine bay. No rust near the battery, floor pans etc. No rust. No rot. See pictures.

I took the carpets out in the front just so I could show you pictures of the floor pans etc. The floor boards are pristine as you can see. The carpets are original and exceptional. I had them professionally cleaned and are back in the car.

This 912E has never been in an accident and shows no bodywork. It is straight, rolls and corners as stock when new. I have posted pictures in the trunk with the factory carpet pulled up. No repairs of rust, nor accident damage. All clean and original. The 912E has the same same body, suspension, brakes and 5-speed transmission as the 911 Coupe, with the only difference being the 4-cylinder motor instead of the slightly larger 6 of the 911.

I bought the car from original owner's wife (through a second party). I have driven it about twice a month since I have owned it.

Recently rebuilt motor - according to my Porsche shop (KB Motorsport in San Marcos CA), who checked it out when I bought it two or so years ago. I changed all the fuel lines simply to insure no fire issues and repaired the sunroof as stated. Adjusted valves etc. I have put almost 1000 miles on the vehicle in 2 years).

The original numbers are matching, completely stock motor. Engine # 4060033 as first shipped from the factory. Original transmission as well.

Also very interesting. This vehicle is currently insured by AAA as a "Classic Car". In order to be insured AAA has to inspect a vehicle and appraise it to have at least a $15,000 value (they won't insure it if it is worth less.) Also, it must be driven less than 5,000 miles a year for their insurance. Also, it must be 100% garaged when not in use. Here is what is AWESOME! This car appraised, has been driven only 500 miles a years since I owned it, has been garaged day and night. Best of all I pay $100 per year for full insurance including replacement value. That is all the AAA Classic Insurance costs!

14 inch factory wheels. Recent tires with tons of tread.

California car since new. Originally delivered to Trivale Porsche Audi in Stockton CA on 10/30/1975. Serviced there each 5000 miles through the 75000 miles limit of the warranty book and beyond. I have no receipts except the service log for the first 75,000 miles and my receipts from less than 1000 miles ago. I did not meet the wife and am told she could not locate the paperwork.

The inside is near perfect, far better than you could dream for a 38-year old car unless it was fully restored. Cinnamon Leatherette Rear seats, the front seats have been resurfaced in an approximate color, the carpet in the cabin and in the trunk are all excellent, as is the dash (with a very tiny tear near vent on passenger side.)

Engine and tranny are rock solid. Accelerates and shifts smoothly. Clutch is very good as well.

No AC. AC is a rare option on this car. This unit did not come with it.

Paint is refreshed in close to if not original color. Looks very nice. This is not the seals off $20,000 factory showroom paint. It is a nice seals on spray in a Chocolate brown. No chipping (excepting two or so tiny spots, but we are talking spec sized and few. Maybe three years old paint but still very good (could have been done a week ago). It is a sharp car which gets constant attention from passers by.

The glass is original and perfect.

Known defects:

Very small tear in dash near vent outlet (I didn't see if for a long time because it isn't really visible from driver position.)

The front seats are slightly different color than rear.

I didn't notice until I had the material ordered to repair the drivers seat stitching etc. which is being done today. Rear seats are original and slightly lighter color than front seats. The factory leather seats according to the experts (Autos International, which deals in Porsche interiors. They are located in Escondido,Ca 760-737-3565 or email www.porschetopsandinteriors.net) did not match the rear seats either which were still done in the leatherette even when leather seating was chosen for the front seats. Hence, this is not a big deal but I thought I would mention it. The leatherette is no longer available or I would have covered the seats to match. The original factory leather can still be matched. About $850 per seat.

The heater does produce much heat. I only drive it lightly in spring and summer so I haven't needed a heater here is San Diego.

The Radio appears original but doesn't work, neither does the antenna.

The paint is very nice, but it was a seals in paint. If you wanted a concourse vehicle you would repaint with the glass and metal off the car with the original 1976 Porsche paint. This car gets high praise on close inspection, however, it is not a $20,000 paint job, just a good refinish.

Comes with one Key and original manuals.

Singer Porsche, Koenigsegg, NSX: Leno's life doesn't suck

Tue, Oct 6 2015

Jay Leno had quite a productive trip this year during Monterey Car Week. Not only did he get to pal around with Ian Callum and check out the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but the denim-clad comedian also headed to The Quail to talk to some prominent figures in the modern sports car scene. Capping off the fun, he got to take a drive in a Mercedes-AMG GT S, too Perhaps the highlight of this show is a nearly 10-minute interview with Christian von Koenigsegg. The founder of the Swedish hypercar company digs deep into the Agera One:1's engineering details, relating interesting facts about the aerodynamics and transmission. In addition, Leno chats with Rob Dickenson of Singer about its newly reimagined Porsche 911 Targa, and he gets the latest scoop on the Acura NSX's progress from newly promoted Acura Vice President and General Manager Jon Ikeda. If you like hearing about the nuts and bolts of sports car development, then this video can't be missed. Of course, we were there at Monterey, too, and we pointed our own cameras at some of the amazing machinery, both vintage and modern, at all the various car-focused events of the week. Take a look back at some of our own cool footage in the videos below. Related Video:

Gemballa reveals new Porsche 991-based GT convertible

Sun, 16 Sep 2012

Gemballa went through the ringer last year, but rebounded with products that signal a complete turnaround. The latest is the recently-released Porsche 911 Carrera S with a Gemballa GT aerodynamics and technology package. Aero-wise, it includes carbon fiber additions beginning with a front bumper wearing the classic Gemballa air intake design and a lower, angrier splitter. New side skirts run from wheel to wheel, the final piece being a rear bumper in three sculpted horizontal sections featuring a rear diffuser tucked between six rectangular exhaust tips.
No engine mods have been made, but the technology part of the tune - springs that are 30 millimeters shorter yet still able to work with the PASM system - is claimed to make the car faster. Bringing things to a halt is a new Brembo brake system hiding behind 21-inch GForged wheels that are lighter than Porsche's standard 20-inchers.
The Gemballa GT aero kit runs €19,860 ($26,070 U.S.), which includes paint and installation if you happen to be in Germany, and we're assuming that includes the suspension modification, brakes and sport exhaust. The GForged wheels are another €9,895 ($12,989 U.S.) depending on your choice of tire. Check out the press release below for more info, and the photo gallery above for all the angles.
