Up for sale is my restored California 1967 Porsche 912

This car is in excellent condition with original interior.  I have 3 classics from the 60’s and sadly have to sell one of them to help fund a real estate venture. 

Details:

I purchased this car a year ago when it had a bit under 121, 200 miles – have put a bit over 2,600 miles on it since – it is a blast to drive.  The previous owner:

  • ·      rebuilt the engine at 120,499 miles and upgraded it to 1750CC (engine # 751120)

  • ·      rebuilt original Solex carbs

  • ·      New engine sound padding installed

  • ·      Rebuilt Brake calipers and brake system bled and gone through

  • ·      replaced the clutch

  • ·      rebuilt the 5-speed transmission with new synchros

  • ·      installed new Koni shock absorbers

Since purchasing the car, I have:

  • ·      resealed the engine and replaced the valve covers

  • ·      replaced the after market cooler with factory cooler

  • ·      replaced the oil pressure switch

  • ·      repaired the wiring at the headlamps

  • ·      installed a new original Porsche exhaust/muffler

  • ·      replaced the rear bushings

  • ·      powder-coated the original steel wheels

Those are the highlights.  I have all receipts for my work and the previous owner’s work.  I have been told that the engine and body are matching numbers.

Car was also re-painted Polo Red a few years ago – correctly with all glass pulled out - and shows very well with even shine.  Car has all new window and door seals.  The body has no rust and is straight.  Interior is the original and for it’s age in excellent shape – has signs of wear, but no tear or cracks anywhere – a nice patina.  Car was garage kept for over 30 years before I bought it and I continue to garage it.

In short, this is a fantastic example of a 1967 Porsche 912.  It drives firm, fires up from cold every time, and with the little extra CC, has a nice engine growl and extra pop in the pedal.  Have driven it mostly on the weekends, around town or up the coast and it works great as a city or vacation car.  I am sad to give it up, but of my three classics, this is the least rare.  I hope it finds a good home with an owner who will continue to care for and enjoy it.  I was even able to find an original ad from the original dealer here in SoCal – it’s framed and comes with the sale.

This car comes with a reasonable reserve for a car in its condition.   I’m located in Los Angeles if you want to come by and look at the car.  E-mail me at litzewen@gmail.com if you have any questions.  I will be advertising this car through other sources so I reserve the right to end the auction if someone makes me an acceptable offer.  Thank you and good luck!

Robb Report chooses Porsche 911 as its Car of the Year

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Robb Report has picked the seventh-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S as its 2013 Car of the Year, saying the two-door captivated its judges with "agility, driving dynamics and balance." The German coupe bested 12 others who were also in the running - the impressive list of nominees included the BMW M5, Audi S8, Ferrari FF, Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.
Judging involved more than just throwing darts at pictures on the wall, as the publication enlisted a panel of automotive experts to test drive each vehicle for close evaluation. The panelists included 100 members of the Robb Report Club (comprised of top corporate executives and influential readers), Editor-in-Chief Brett Anderson and automotive consultant Robert Ross. Full results of the competition will be revealed in the luxury magazine's March issue, hitting newsstands in about a week. For more information, visit Robb Report online or check out the full press release from Porsche below.

Porsche boss admits Panamera's style is offputting

Sat, 11 Oct 2014



"There have been some small mistakes and we will do it better. For example the design could be better." - Matthias Mueller.
The design of the Porsche Panamera has been divisive, to say the least. Pretty much any Porsche with four doors was going to draw the ire of enthusiasts, but the fast-back-style roofline, prominent curves and seemingly never-ending hood have particularly irked some brand loyalists.

Evo makes the case for the world's best driving road in Majorca

Tue, 05 Aug 2014

What good is a sports car if you haven't got a great place to drive it? It's a common refrain that we've heard time and time again. But few are as familiar with the problem as they are in the UK, where the number of people, cars on the road and traffic cameras keep growing to conspire against the joy of driving. Leave it to Evo, then, to depart in search of the greatest driving road in the world.
It's a pursuit that's taken the British car mag across Europe, most recently to Romania's Carpathian Mountains where it added the Transalpina Pass to its short list. But its latest journey has taken Evo to the Spanish island of Majorca, where Henry Catchpole found not one, but two spectacular driving roads from behind the wheel of the new Porsche Boxster GTS. We could drone on about the smooth, empty ribbons of twisting tarmac with excellent visibility and panoramic vistas... but you really want to see the video for yourself. Don't miss Evo's previous trip to Romania in the Jaguar F-Type, which we've included below, as well.
