Up for sale Fantastic 912 Soft window Targa 1968 This is a rare black plate California car that just came out of the original owner estate sale. It was parked in the garage since 2006. We towed the car to our shop, changed the fluids and within two hours we were driving it. This is a very original no-rust California car that shows 57,000 original miles on the ticker. The car was taken to professional Porsche shop and disassembled removed the engine, trans, and fuel tank. Then the car was sent to paint shop for a fresh re-spray of the original Irish Green color: windows out quality bare metal paint job. Leak down and comp test on the engine was done and it was great, so just a full tune up service, adjusted the valves, and detailed the engine and trans was done. New clutch and shift bushings, CVs rebuilt. The interior is excellent and all original even the carpets, amazing! All the rubber seals were replaced, even the Targa top seals. Autos International rebuilt the soft window assembly. All the chrome, decos, bumper guards, lights and side markers are original. New sound pad, hood shocks. Brake master cylinder replaced and rubber hoses, pads, and cut rotors. Boiled the fuel tank, rebuilt the Solex carbs and fuel pump. Replaced all liners The floor pans are perfect. The bottom of this car is great and the suspension is tight – the Konis were adjusted, and they are also great. Wonders never cease. Bottom line is that we have a really nice, original, rare (only 200 made) 912 soft window Targa and only 66 produced in 1968! This car runs and drives great. No smoke or leaks, no accidents or rust, just a nice car. Car comes with manual, tools, spare and jack. We contact Porsche COA to verify the correct color and engine number. Trans too is correct. This is an amazing collector condition car so don't miss for a very fair price!! The car is located in the biggest shipping company in US Cfr Rinkens in California and is ready to go!! We have clean pink slip in hand!! Californian residents subjects for state tax!, Thanks for looking!! |

Auto journalist ordered to pay big money for blowing up Porsche 917 engine [UPDATE]
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Racecars blow engines all the time, but a Porsche 917 isn't just a run-of-the-mill racecar. British automotive writer Mark Hales reportedly borrowed a 917 from 82-year-old former Formula One racer David Piper for a magazine article, and mechanical tragedy ensued. Nobody is arguing that the engine failed after being spun to 8,200 rpm. However, Hales was warned not to exceed 7,000 rpm, says owner Piper, and the affair landed in English courts with Piper seeking £50,000 - over $79,000 US - in reimbursement funds for an engine rebuild and loss of use of the car while it was being repaired. Judge Simon Brown ruled in favor of car owner Piper, putting Hales on the hook for £110,000 ($174,000) including legal fees - a whole lot of money in any language.
Hales says the Porsche suffered a mechanical fault while lapping that allowed it to slip out of gear and over-rev. Piper wasn't convinced, and sought to have the repair paid for by the guy who broke the racer, saying "If you bend it, you mend it." It's not like Hales is a novice driver, having seat time in both professional and amateur races over 30 years, notching about 150 wins, but even the best drivers sometimes miss a shift, and that's what Piper contended happened to his car.
According to reports, Hales has had to sell most of his valuables to pay his lawyers and is now facing bankruptcy with the ruling against him. Members of the Pistonheads website are trying to coordinate a collection to help him out, as well.
Porsche Cayman gets a new face
Fri, 12 Sep 2014We've already seen photos of the facelifted Porsche Boxster out testing, but we're now seeing these same changes making their way onto the hardtop Cayman coupe. Cosmetically, the next round of Porsche's smallest sports cars isn't vastly different, with redesigned headlamps, LED running lights (like its big brother, the 911), and new taillamps that actually aren't visible on the prototype seen here.
The big news for the updated Boxster/Cayman range is the long-rumored four-cylinder engine. Recent reports suggest we could see four-pots with displacements of 1.6, 2.0, or 2.5 liters, and with output ratings as high as 360 horsepower. Of course, these new four-cylinder mills would be both turbocharged and direct-injected.
It's unclear whether or not the six-cylinder engine range will also be updated when this new Cayman comes to market. In any case, we expect to see it bow in the relatively near future. Stay tuned.
Porsche reportedly working on new turbocharged flat-four boxer engine?
Wed, 10 Apr 2013These days, we've seen just about every automaker dropping cylinders in an effort to appease tightening fuel economy and emission standards - and Porsche is no exception. Nearly three years after introducing an all-new V6 powerplant under the front hood of its Panamera sedan (launched with a range of V8 engines) comes word that Porsche is working on an all-new turbocharged flat-four boxer to replace the flat-six engines mid-mounted in its Cayman and Boxster models.
Specifics have yet to be learned, but reports say the engine is a derivative of the current 3.8-liter six (shown above) found under the rear decklid of the Carrera S, yet with two fewer cylinders. Fitted with a turbocharger, direct-injection and the automaker's VarioCam Plus, the new all-aluminum 2.5-liter flat-four will likely develop upwards of 350 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. Redline should be about 7,500 rpm. Initial indications say that Porsche will only offer the new engine with its seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic, tuned to take advantage of the low-end torque, but a traditional six-speed manual gearbox has not been ruled out. Despite the loss of two cylinders, enthusiasts will likely embrace the new engine as it promises to be lighter, more fuel efficient and more powerful than the 2.7-liter and 3.4-liter sixes in the Cayman/Boxster today.
Even though Porsche has been using Volkswagen Group engines for years (e.g., Cayenne V6, Cayenne Diesel and upcoming Macan), all indications are that the new flat-four will not be shared. Instead, it will be kept in-house for the automaker's sports cars and possible future fitment in an entry-level 911.
