You are bidding on a beautiful, red 1966 Porsche 912 with 109692 miles on it. The car had been stored since 1991 and just came out of storage a couple of months ago. It was last registered in NC in 1991. The Vin # is 454719 The engine number is: *1280299* This is an excellent Porsche like the photos show, a nice driver. Please check out the photos in all details. The outside is very representable. The car has been re-sprayed at one point in what I believe is the original color; if you look at the close-up photos you can see there is paint on some rubber edges. The tag on the door says: "MADE IN WESTERN GERMANY, KARMANN KAROSSERIE, NR: 454 719 KUNSTHARZLACK 6602", which is polo red. The other ID tags/ stampings in the trunk and on the title of course do match the serial number of the car. The car looks just fantastic from a few feet (a couple of meters) away, but on close-up inspection under neon lights you will find lots of small imperfections in the paint such as some cracking in the paint on the hood and some “micro-pimpling” or multiple “micro-bumps” in the paint in many places. Also rust bubbles exist as I am showing in some of the detail photos. Overall, an excellent looking car considering it is 45 years old and has been stored for 20 years. We thoroughly washed the car and polished and waxed it after picking it up from its long storage. The interior is quite nice! There is a small tear in the outer bolster on the driver’s side a few inches long. It only becomes apparent when you push on it; in its rest position it is closed. The other seats are free of tears, the original 4 rubber mats are over black carpet that is in nice shape. The dash is very decent, as are the door panels and the rest of the interior. We changed the oil, disassembled the carburetors and cleaned them out and the car started right up and runs very smooth. The car does not smoke at all and responds great to the gas, the engine sounds very healthy. We drained the gas and ended up changing the fuel tank as it had gotten quite rusty. The gas tank is in nice condition off a low mileage 71 911, which is almost the same as an early car’s except for the flat spot in the front to be able to get in a thicker spare tire. We also replaced the old, short rubber line that goes from the tank above the steering rack to the line entering the tunnel with a new one and new clamps so that is all done. We just put new bushings into the pedal cluster and clutch and brakes work well; even the rotors have rusty surfaces from sitting. All calipers work and release properly and the look like they had been rebuilt not too many miles ago, as all rubber seals/ dust caps look good and as the calipers were not seized after the long storage. The emergency brake works as well. The car drives and shifts nicely into all gears (4-speed plus reverse). All tires have a lot of tread! The car looks fantastic but has a few small rust areas/ bubbles as the photos show. The car has had some sheet metal and plates riveted into the floor, and plates bolted into the trunk ahead of the gas tank and underneath the front to reinforce the front suspension. This car can be used as an excellent driver or restored to its original beauty. To make this car right one would need to replace the gas tank/ front suspension support “U” piece, put in a new floor, and handle the smaller rust bubbles and paint blemishes as shown in some of the photos. The car comes with a clear and clean PA title; it has been changed over into our name – we did pay the sales tax on the car to get the title transfered. The car is sole “AS IS” with no Warranties implied. Even the car runs, we recommend towing it home or having it transported, which is the full responsibility of the buyer. We are a repair shop and restoration business and do not have dealer plates, we can therefore not offer extended test drives to the buyer, only around our building on private property to test basic functionality of the car. We can deliver the car to the general Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland area for $195, to Rochester for $225. Good luck bidding! A deposit of $1,000 paid by Paypal is due within 48 hours of auction close. Note: Please be a serious bidder if you bid. We had listed this car last month and unfortunately a used car dealer from California bid on it last minute and won the auction, and then came up with all kinds of excuses, including his ID and password were stolen and he did not make the bid. We represent the car as accurately and honestly as we can and expect honest bidders with integrity who have the money to purchase the car. We will follow Ebay rules and use any Ebay and other legal means to finalize the results of the auction – so if you do not have the money, do not bid and do not waste our time and money!
