Offered for sale is a very very rare 1968 Porsche 912 with a factory Sunroof! Very rarely optioned from the factory with S trim, Head rests and wood steering wheel!!
This car has had 3 owners and has always lived in California. Mostly original and in great condition this car has just undergone a complete bare metal paint job with hood, trunk and doors off. It was color matched to the original paint on the underside of the the sunroof, so it is exactly as it was from the Porsche factory. The body was straight and had only 2 smaller than a dime pieces of rust.
This example is structurally excellent with original pans that are in great shape! Just completed was a complete brake service with rebuilding of the original calipers and new rotors in the front and turned rear rotors. Also a complete engine out service with new oil lines, valve adjustment, gasket service and oil service. The Weber carbs were serviced and rebuilt as well! The transmission was out and completely serviced and resealed and works as new, I think it has been rebuilt and know that the engine was by the previous owner. Needless to say the compression is excellent!
All the trim is new, front and rear turn signals are new lenses, Wheels are powder coated, new hub caps and tires, All new body gaskets and and deco trim.
I am sure I have forgot to tell some thing or things, but all I can say is this is a cool 912 that is very rare, less than 100 1968-69 912 sunroof cars are in the registry!!
Please message me with phone number to call you on. Send me any questions and I will reply quickly. I am open to serious and real offers, international buyers are welcomed as well!
Thank you for looking at my little car :)

Porsche drivers escape this horrific VIR crash unscathed
Mon, 07 Oct 2013There is no doubting the fact that it takes nerves of steel to be a racecar driver, but the same can also be said for motorsports photographers. Case in point: The American Le Mans Series Oak Tree Grand Prix at the Virginia International Raceway where two Porsche 911 racecars crash hard into the tire barrier, but the dedicated cameraman stays with the shot - diving away only at the last second just as the battered No. 31 car (shown above) comes to rest atop the tire barriers just feet from where he was standing.
The crash occurred when the two Porsches charged hard into a corner. Judging by the video, the white No. 48 car appears to not see the orange No. 31 and the two cars make contact, skidding off track hitting the tire barriers at a high rate of speed. Both drivers walked away from the frightening crash, but the video - posted below - shows just how bad things could have been. Hopefully the close call will serve as a lesson for the woman standing in the track marshal's post who has her back to the racing as the two cars barrel directly toward her.
Porsche to only build next Panamera in Leipzig?
Sun, 06 Oct 2013Manufacture of the next-generation Porsche Panamera could be moving, if a report from Reuters is true. The current-generation Panamera range has its bodies welded together and painted at a Volkswagen facility in Hanover before being shipped to Leipzig where final assembly takes place.
According to Reuters, Porsche is looking to cut VW out of the equation and focus production of the Panamera in Leipzig. While this could cost 800 of the 14,300 workers at Hanover their jobs, it's not entirely clear what Porsche stands to gain by the move. It recently invested 50- million euros (about $680 million at today's rates) on a paint and body shop for its Leipzig factory, ostensibly so the facility could have Macan production underway by that car's spring 2014 on-sale date. If the facility was also designed with next-generation Panamera production in mind, then Porsche's decision to put all of its eggs in one basket could make a lot of sense. It currently ships the semi-completed Panameras from Hanover to Leipzig, a distance of around 160 miles by road, and presumably it's a costly and time-consuming process.
The Leipzig factory produced 27,000 Panameras last year, although it's unclear just what its production capacity really is. Besides the Panamera and the upcoming Macan, the factory also builds the Porsche Cayenne.
Drive-up bank robbery perpetrated with Cayenne and WRX
Sat, 14 Sep 2013Thieves carried out what appears to be a movie-script-perfect robbery of a bank in Sydney, Australia early on Friday morning, using two stolen high-performance vehicles in the process.
At around 11:15 AM local time, in near mid-day light, reports say that two men in masks smashed into the side of a Westpac bank in a confirmed-stolen black Porsche Cayenne. The perpetrators were armed with sledgehammers according to witness reports, and took only about five minutes to take what they were after inside of the bank.
The rapid getaway was executed in a Subaru WRX, also confirmed as a stolen vehicle, while witnesses snapped camera phone images of the illicit goings on. One Twitter user posted a few of the images to his social media feed; you can take a look at them in our small gallery below. Follow on down for the full video report, from The Sydney Morning Herald.
