Starting the auction at $500 because that is what I have into it. I try to always make my auction listing as informational as possible and have included many photos and a walk-around video. Looks like the Porsche came from a junkyard. The 912 has yellow pen writing on the driver side quarter panel. Originally painted Polo Red and now sports an ugly brown paint job. Unfortunately, a snow storm was rolling into Montana when video and photos were shot. There are "white comets" on some of the photos which are snow and obviously snow stuck on the car and associated parts. I included early pictures of the 912 at Mike's farm which are marked "AS STORED". Both the 'wet' and 'dry' photos are included in the photos in this listing. The 912 was stored on the south side of a large Quonset hut and all the tires were rotted and car stuck firmly in ground about 3 inches which my "Old Car CSI" skills put it about 10 years without moving. I installed old tires off my VW Bug on the porsche steel wheels and they all hold air. I installed a temporary steering wheel and the 912 steering is operational and intact. Headliner is intact but I am sure it is beyond repair. I ripped out the rotting interior to show that the shell appears to be solid and the floorboards are not rusted out. I tried to indicate where the big rust issues are but this is a 47 year old car and potential buyer needs to educate themselves on the Money Pit that a Porsche 911/912 restoration will become.

China bans military license plates on luxury autos
Wed, 01 May 2013Driving a vehicle with a military license plate in China provides many privileges. Legally reserved for official vehicles only, the designation apparently allows drivers to enjoy special liberties on the roads, including breaking traffic laws, filling up with free fuel and receiving light-and-siren escorts through congested cities. So attractive are the benefits that there is a secondary market for used legal and counterfeit plates - especially among those wealthy enough to afford luxury cars. But all of that is reportedly coming to an end, as President Xi Jinping, chairman of the Central Military Commission, is on a mission to fight corruption in his country.
A new license plate system goes into effect today, and it is designed to "maintain social harmony, stability and the reputation of the military," says the PLA Daily, the armed forces' official newspaper. While the abuse has been going on for many years, the internet has put the spotlight on the bad behavior, and the negative press does not represent the morals and true colors of the armed forces, say officials.
While military-plated Porsche drivers have been singled out as offenders, Bloomberg notes that all vehicles with engine displacements above 3.0 liters and with a sticker price in excess of about $73,000, will be banned from receiving military plates. This includes vehicles from Audi, Cadillac, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln and the Volkswagen Phaeton. Even if drivers are savvy enough to circumvent the new issuing system, the military has put technology at toll gates to catch users of counterfeit plates. There has been no word on the punishment if caught.
Amelia Island 2013: Porsche 911 swarms the field marking 50 years of rear-engine goodness
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Perhaps one of the most iconic sports cars in the world, it was no surprise that the Porsche 911 showed up in numbers to the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. Although the original 911 launched 50 years ago, the original and current models are instantly recognizable as 911s, and since the 911 has a storied racing background, there were probably just as many racing versions of the coupe as there were street-legal versions.
As the show's 2013 honoree, one of the prime racing examples was a 1970 Porsche 911 S raced by Sam Posey. There were so many cars in attendance, we didn't know where to look, but a 1985 911 Speedster concept and a Porsche-owned, rally-ready 911 Type 953 were definitely among the more impressive standouts. As an added bonus, Jacksonville-based Brumos Porsche had many of its classic racecars on display including a beautiful 959.

Thu, 14 Nov 2013Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.

Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
