Coatesville, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for auction is a matching numbers 1969 Porsche 912 Karmann Coupe. Vin number, 129022865 and engine number is 4096003. No COA, but I called Christine at Porsche of America and she said it was matching. This car just came from California and the suspension pan and floors are nearly perfect. Rockers are solid as well as jack points and torsion tube areas. The car was originally painted in desirable sand beige. At some point in time it had been painted chocolate brown. Now its been semi prepped for paint and as you can see from the photos, it has some more small spots to go. I really don't know much about the motor then what previous owner told me. He told me in 2011 he had it rebuilt with a big bore kit and installed weber carbs. He said it still needed a valve grind, and a battery to run.. He lost interest in the project and installed the motor to sell the project. For some reason installed in the engine compartment are two electric fuel pumps and a gas line lope on the mechanical fuel pump. I never tried to start it but I might this week. Has four nice fuchs and brakes seem to be in working order. I bought the car in a package deal and really wanted to keep both but I just cant pull it of so I have to part with it. Ebay will only let me list 24 photos and I have a ton taken already and will take and email any requested shots or areas. $500 non refundable paypal deposit required at the end of auction with the balance to be payed in cash, cashiers check or bank transfer. I will assist with the shipping. thanks and good luck.

Porsche ready to pick itself up after Le Mans failure
Mon, 23 Jun 2014It's safe to say that things for Porsche didn't go quite as well at Le Mans this year as it might have hoped. After a sixteen-year gap, the winningest manufacturer in endurance racing history returned to the Circuit de la Sarthe this year hoping maybe not for outright victory in its first time back, but definitely a strong finish on which it could build on for next year. All the while it undoubtedly hoped its 911s would hold their own in the GT classes.
Unfortunately for Porsche, neither happened. After racing around the clock, and despite actually leading the festivities for some time, the best its 919 Hybrid could manage was an eleventh-place finish, lagging lamentably behind not only the other LMP1s (like the race-winning Audi) but also a handful of LMP2s. Meanwhile the LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am titles went to the factory-backed teams of its arch-rivals Ferrari and Aston Martin, respectively.
Not a stellar result, in other words, but Porsche is taking it all in stride - accepting that it has a ways to go while congratulating its vanquishing rivals in the video below. It's good sportsmanship if we've ever seen it. Next year's race starts now.
Supercar parade entering highway is mesmerizing
Thu, 09 May 2013In what must have looked and sounded to motorists on the M6 like an invasion of The Swarm, a parade of 50 enthusiast gems leaving a charity event were caught shooting down the on-ramp and merging into traffic. There were plenty of Porsches joining the 959 and Ducktail above, Aston Martins going back to the badboy V8 of the last millennium, a Ferrari Testarossa, a TVR and numerous other Easter eggs.
There were not, however, plenty of turn signals, with someone counting just five among the fifty engaging in proper use of the blinker. One reason put forth for that is the same reason we're posting this video, which is from last Summer, below: "because supercar." Enjoy.
Porsche 911 GT3 wows the crowds in Geneva
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Porsche has a long and storied history of taking its range-topping 911 sportscar racing, with an enviable record of achievements in tow. The latest machine with which the automaker will take to the track can be seen above: the fifth-generation 2014 911 GT3.
With 475 horsepower strumming through the 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine, this is the pinnacle of naturally aspirated performance from Porsche. It can go from 0 to 60 in just 3.3 seconds, hit a top speed of 195 miles per hour and has lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in less than seven and a half minutes.
A dual-clutch PDK transmission (no standard manual gearbox will be offered) with shorter gearing than lesser 911 models sends power to the rear wheels. Providing forward motion isn't the only thing those rear wheels will be doing - Porsche says the 2014 911 GT3 is fitted with the manufacturer's first active rear-wheel steering.
