Please Read, it will only take you 4 minutes! because you may miss out on a car that in a few months it will reach it's 50th anniversary and car collector experts predict that it will take a big jump in value in 8 months, just like the 1965 911's have increase in value once it reached it's 50th anniversary, and are now selling for over $200K.
We are selling this very early 912, the $60K price is for the car fully restored! Or if you want to restore it yourself you can make an offer and buy it as-is, I can part from it at a much lower price, I may consider part trade but I do need mostly cash!
My colleague is the one that will be restoring it at his shop, because unfortunately right now, I don't have the time or the extra funds at this moment to restore it!
I have the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity from PORSCHE, that shows the Manufacture completion date "December 6th 1965". It came originally with 3 gauges from the factory, like The 356 came also with 3 gauges.
Is registered up to date, it looks like it has a 4cyl VW engine that needs some parts, I don't know about engines, that is why I posted a picture of the engine.
Also 1964 and 65 911 owners, is good to know, that 99% of 1965 / 1966 912 body parts are exchangeable with the 1965 911's, specially if the manufacture completion date says 1965, if a $225K 1964 / 1965 911 crashes and needs original parts from a 1965 Porsche I am sure that they will be willing to pay at least $30K for an original 1965 body, to put his 1964 / 1965 $225K 911 back in it's original condition, the 1965 911's and 912's were identical, only the engine and dash material, were different, all other body parts and mechanical parts were just about the same, they changed in 1966, there for, a Porsche with 1966 manufacture completion date, won't work if they want to restore it just the way it came out of the factory, and if later they want to sell it for over $225K they cannot use parts from a 1966 Porsche or newer, this is another reason why the 1965 912's are going up in price!

Once the 912 is painted and restored the cars value will be substantially more than a 912 with a 1966 or newer manufacture date, the good thing is that this cars under carriage is in very good condition, there is Hardly any rust.
Notice on the pictures with the auction results how prices have increased since 2004, also notice that there are no 1965 911 sales data, only one shows year 1964, this is among the first Porsches made, similar to a 911 that I have, notice how it sold for much more than a 1966 or newer Porsche, it sold for $225K. This is why now the1965 912's will also increase in value.
I have 99% of all the parts of the 912, bumpers, lights, windows etc. we took them out and started restoring the car, unfortunately I have to part from it, because I don't have the time, I am concentrating in restoring my early 1965 911, I own one of the first 1000 911's made and it could also be the first "Silver Metallic color" 911, that PORSCHE ever made, I'm waiting for PORSCHE Germany to verify. If in fact it is, PORSCHE will Like to buy it for their Museum, because it will be the first "Silver Metallic" 911 that they manufacture, most of the Porsche models in their Museum are Silver Metallic color. Then the value would probably be between $600k and $900K.

This is also why I am selling the 912! I will love to see it done, but I just don't have the time! If you want it as-is, make me an offer, I can part from it, as it is now, for a much lower price then the fully restored price, and you can make even a bigger profit once it jumps in value on it's 50th anniversary which is in only 8 months!
Any questions or offers, you may contact through ebay or call Fred at 951-216-86 five four!

Watch Porsche legend Jeff Zwart frolic in the snow in his 356
Wed, 14 May 2014Racing driver Jeff Zwart picked up a 1953 Porsche 356 Pre A to use as a historical prop in a Cayenne commercial, then decided to keep it when the filming was done. Then, explaining to filmmaker Will Roegge that his vintage toy does really well in slippery conditions, Zwart throws it around in the Colorado snow - on pencil-thin studded tires on 16-inch wheels - to prove the point.
Don't expect roostertails in this winter wonderland video, however; with just about 60 horsepower at sea level, gumption drops to about 40 hp when playing at 9,000 mountainous feet. But that's still plenty to work as a testament to the phrase, "If you've got it, flaunt it," and you can watch it below.
UK Porsche GT3 owners are irked that other countries are getting better deals
Sun, 27 Apr 2014Porsche 911 GT3 owners in the United Kingdom are up in arms, but it's not for the reason you might think. Okay, well it sort of is. See, it's been fairly well documented that 911 GT3 owners have had their cars grounded over concerns that the engines could catch fire. Porsche is rushing to build and install replacement engines in all 800 or so cars, scattered around the globe.
This isn't really the issue. The problem for these British owners is compensation. While the car's have been grounded, car notes still need to be paid. To deal with this, American GT3 owners are being paid $2,000 per month. German owners get 175 euros ($242 at today's rates) per day while a GT3 owner in Dubai is allegedly receiving $12,000 (it's unclear if this is a lump sum or a monthly payment). Basically, if you aren't able to drive your six-figure super car, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Seems reasonable regardless of the make.
British owners, though, aren't being compensated, and for 30 to 35 owners, that's not acceptable. They've banded together and are led by Sunil Mehra.
Porsche picks Maria Sharapova as brand ambassador
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Russian-born tennis superstar Maria Sharapova has just inked a three-year deal with Porsche to be its brand ambassador, a position that will put her on a global campaign for the German automaker. The 26-year-old athlete isn't new to the role - she previously signed a similar three-year deal with Land Rover in 2006.
"Maria Sharapova is an exceptional athlete. She combines top performance in her sports with elegance and power. These are precisely the qualities that are embroiled in our sports cars," explained Matthias Mueller, CEO of Porsche AG, during the announcement. "Her profile and charisma are an ideal fit for Porsche. She is also highly respected around the world and enjoys an outstanding reputation," he added.
Some consider Porsche's choice of a female tennis player as its ambassador interesting, if not surprising. The automaker has traditionally marketed its vehicles with a masculine edge - Sharapova and the sport of tennis position the brand in a different light - likely an intentional decision. Do you think Porsche's choice was a good one? If not, who would you choose as its global ambassador?
