1966 Porsche 912 - 3-gauge, 5-speed, Very Original Car on 2040-cars
Stanwood, Washington, United States
|
Due to being a very original Seattle, WA (no salt on the roads) car, this early 3-gauge, 5-speed, numbers matching 912 has been sympathetically refurbished, rather than restored. The paint was tired and cracked, so car was stripped to metal and repainted its original correct color. This is a rust-free, accident-free, hit-free car with all new rubber seals. The interior is completely original and in very good condition including very hard-to-find rubber mats, carpets and upholstery, glass panels all have their 'Sekurit' stamps, spare tire has its original very rare valve stem reinforcing clip. Some carpet is missing near the right
rear seat area and the driver's side rocker panel. If desired, we will
install a new correct carpet kit for $950.00. Chrome is all original and shines beautifully. Original owner upgraded the factory radio to a period AM/FM Blaupunkt radio.
Paperwork includes original sales invoice, original Service Book, original title, extensive maintenance records from the original owner, and Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche Cars North America. Original toolkit also included. Engine was rebuilt and new clutch installed by highly regarded (Denny) Aker's Porsche of Seattle at 86,287mi., and has rolled up 29k trouble-free miles since rebuild. The car also received its routine maintenance and repairs by this same firm most of its life. The engine pulls smoothly and strongly. The braking system was completely rebuilt last year and pulls down evenly and strongly. Gauges, lights, and wipers work well. The paint just shines beautifully. Suspension and steering are tight and responsive. This is an outstanding looking car that would be a reliable daily use vehicle, should that be desired. |

Porsche gives Nick Murray exactly what he deserved [w/video]
Sat, 19 Apr 2014The tale of Nick Murray and his lemon Porsche 911 appears to have come to a satisfactory end. As noted in the original story about Murray, he and Porsche Cars North America met and came to a resolution. However, we didn't know exactly what that meant, until now.
Murray has created a new video explaining that PCNA offered to buy back the car at full price or give him an exact replacement for it. This was exactly what he was asking for. Murray remains pro-Porsche in the new video. "I am definitely considering reordering a Porsche 911," he says.
Porsche also posted a message on its Facebook page that clarified the situation. "We at Porsche have always sought excellence in all that we do. We know you expect it of us. And when we don't meet that standard, we make every effort to improve," said a portion of the note.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
Porsche has doubled US sales to women [w/videos]
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Porsche is having a good sales year in the US, with 25,129 vehicles delivered year-to-date coming off the automaker's best July sales ever. That's a 31-percent increase over the same period last year (19,253 deliveries). With year-to-date Panamera sales a surprising 36 percent lower than last year, what possibly could be driving Porsche's sales surge? If you answered Cayman and Boxster sales, you're right. But dealerships are noticing another factor: more women are coming in to buy Porsches, CNBC reports, the bulk of whom picked up new Cayenne SUVs. The German automaker's sales to women in the US have more than doubled in the past two years, increasing from 7 percent to 15 percent. This has helped year-to-date Cayenne sales reach 11,082 - 31 percent higher than the same time last year.
Porsche executives have been trying to tap into the women's market, as evidenced in part by the company's move to pick professional tennis player Maria Sharapova as a brand ambassador. Porsche maintains it has not moved to dramatically change its brand image, but it has shown a number of ads in recent years that uncharacteristically emphasize its vehicles' practicality under the "Engineered for Magic. Everyday" banner - some featuring female drivers.
Be sure to watch CNBC's video report on Porsche's female movement below - you'll also find one of the aforementioned Engineered For Magic ads as well as an interesting case study video on the campaign from ad agency Cramer-Krasselt.
