Plainwell, Michigan, United States
Model: 912
I aquired a 68 912 about a year ago. A friend of a friend of a friend new about this car that belonged to a vet that was suffering from agent orange and couldnt drive any more. He had the car for alot of years , but his wife had decided to sell it localy, (word of mouth) but that was a year previous. Well I got a number , and they still had it. So I bought it. It was in a garage covered up pushed aginst the back wall. When I went to look at it I figured it would be a rusty piece.To my surprise it was complete and mostly orig. Except for later mirrors and steering wheel. The orig. blaupunct was gone. but it was all there. They kept it running up till 4 years previous. Sunroof coupe,, Int. is complete and still decent , including carpet, faded but good. will need a headliner, All glass and trim, excell. The body has scratches and ding in the hood, but straight. 15 in. fuchs. Also decent. Good clutch, 5 speed. brakes need attention, as do the tyres. Motor is complete and actually had it fire up for a short time by a tow start. Orig air cleaners with rain hats. Now for the under side. I think it is cleaner than my four old jeep. Floors are awsome for a SWB porsche this year, as are suspension points. Rear seat pans and rear shelf are clean also, as are the rocker panels. Right and left front fenders have a few bubbles but doors and quarters are super clean. Bumpers are orig and in good shape and complete. As is steel ftront valence with fog lite delete plates. What a beautiful solid car to restore and treasure. Around 82000 mi. on the clock. Gauges are clean clean. Orig spare tyre inc. Tub Vin# is 12805091 Engine # 53425 b1b/1 Generator stand# 616101 217OR. I have a clean Title Believe me the car is every thing I said it was

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

China may surpass US as Porsche's largest market this year thanks to Cayenne
Thu, 09 Oct 2014China has already surpassed the United States as the world's largest automotive market, so it's no surprise that one day soon it will be the world's largest Porsche market.
In fact, that day may already be here, as the PRC's Porschephiles outbought their American counterparts in September. Porsche's Chinese dealers sold 4,344 cars last month to America's 3,607. Through all of 2014 so far, though, the US is still the larger market for the German brand.
"The U.S. performed very well this year, after a great year in 2013, but China is growing fast, thanks to the Cayenne which is our best seller there," Porsche's sales and marketing boss, Bernhard Maier, told Automotive News Europe.
