Engine and transmission are original. Engine Serial # is 40959086.
As the 911 market rises to stratospheric levels, these 912 models will be the next to jump. Get in early on the 912 market and enjoy the classic 911 lines with a peppy engine and even better handling. The lower and more central mass of the engine on the 912 makes it a more eager companion on twisting back roads, while still providing all of the classic thrills of vintage Porsche ownership.
This 912 has a beautiful interior with leather-lined microsuede seats. It also has the highly-desirable five-gauge dash configuration found on the 911, rather than the three-gauge setup on many 912s. The carpet is in great shape (with NO rust underneath) and the dash has no cracking or pealing. All of the dash lighting works, as well as the exterior lights.
At some point, according to the previous owner, the 912 has been repainted in it's original color - Ossi blue. In person, it is incredible to behold: deep and rich in tone, while absorbing and reflecting the natural colors around it. Pictures can't do it justice!
The engine is a 1600cc flat four-cylinder with Weber Carbs. When I bought the car, it was running slightly rough, but a trip to my local aircooled Porsche specialist fixed that! I would honestly say the engine is the high point for the car. Everything has been gone through in meticulous detail to make this a strong-running and RELIABLE 912. It may take a few seconds to crank over in the cold, but it ALWAYS starts and has never left me stranded in a parking lot over the time I've owned it. After its most recent trip to the mechanic earlier this year, the car hasn't leaked a single drop of oil. Most aircooled cars will lose a few drops a day, but for some reason I got lucky with this one.
On that first tune-up visit in June of last year, the car had the following installed:
-Correct "031" Distributor
-Pertronix Ignitor
-Distributor Cap-
-Rotor
-Spark Plug Wire Set
-Rebuilt mechanical fuel pump
-Spark Plugs
-Fuel Pump Spacer
-New Belts
-32mm Venturis
-Emulsion Tubes

2014 Porsche 911 GT3 [w/video]
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The Bearable Lightness Of Being
Start with a standard Porsche 911 Carrera and its 350-horsepower, 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Bore a crepe-thin slice of aluminum from each cylinder to get to 3.8 liters, add a wider track out back and two extra exhaust pipes and voila, you can append an S to the Carrera's name. Hang two sets of wet, multi-disc clutches along its spine and you can make that a 4, or a 4S. Bolt on two forced-induction compressors and piping, add two fender vents and comically wide rear tires and you've redeemed your ticket to a Turbo. Increase the boost pressure and swell the corral to 560 horses and you have the Turbo S, which is the Virginia Slims of the 911 line-up because it's come a long way, baby.
Or you can go in a different direction. At that second stop, grab the 3.8-liter and cart it over to the engineers at Porsche's development center in Weissach, Germany. If racing were meat, they would be among the alpha carnivores. The baseboards in their homes are probably painted with miniature billboards for motor oil and vintage cigarettes along the straights, red-and-white stripes around every corner.
World Car of the Year finalists announced
Fri, 07 Mar 2014To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).
McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 vs Ducati 1199 Superleggera in epic standing-mile drag race
Fri, 10 Oct 2014We live in a high-tech supercar renaissance, with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari all duking it out for performance supremacy. All three members of this power trio place the engine behind the driver and use some kind of hybrid assist. However, each one finds a slightly different way to make that setup work. While all of the tech is insanely cool, let's just admit that we are all really wondering which one is the quickest and which is the fastest. Autocar aims to find out in a new video pitting two of them against a surprise challenger in the standing mile.
Unfortunately, the race is missing the Ferrari, despite Autocar's best efforts. So instead, it has another limited-edition, high-performance vehicle from Italy in the form of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. The bike has just two cylinders, but at 1.2-liters of displacement, it makes over 200 horsepower, and all that gumption is packaged into a magnesium monocoque body with carbon fiber bodywork to keep weight low. Granted, the cycle is going up against the 875-hp Porsche and 903-hp McLaren, but traction, aerodynamics and gearing all play a part in this fascinating video.
There's no sense in ruining the winner before watching, but Autocar teases that the finish is one of its closest drag races ever. Check out the video to find out just what that means.
