Rust-Free 1968 Porsche 912 California Black Plates (still registered) - No Reserve - **Updated Pictures and Description** This is a true California car in that it is rust free and has been continuously registered, insured, and driven since 1968. In California if a car is removed from the road for any period of time it must be re-registered, and receives a current California license plate. Otherwise, the original plate stays with the car its entire life, which is the case here. The black plates are registered until February of 2011, so if you are a California buyer and you act quickly you will be able to register the car in time to keep the black plates on it. The car is all original, save for a single repaint in the same color over 20 years ago. The paint is very nice driver-quality, and a fantastic color which never fails to elicit smiles from passers-by. Porsche refferred to the color as both 'Blut Orange' (Blood Orange) and 'Tangerine'. In some of my pictures the car appears 'reddish', but that is only because the color is hard to capture in photographs. Look at all of the pictures and you will see that some show the true 'orange' color better. There are some small dings and dents, but only of the type befitting a loved, driven, and maintained car. As you can see by the pictures, rust is not an issue, and the car will provide many enjoyable years as a high quality driver. If however you desire to take the car to the height of concours preparation, what better candidate than a rust free car in a fantastic factory color? The engine was rebuilt 2,283 miles ago by one of the foremost 912 mechanics in California, Duane Spencer. Those of you familiar with the 912 have very likely read or heard of Duane's book, "The Complete Porsche 912 Guide". I will include a copy of this book with the sale. I have all receipts not just for the motor rebuild, but all work dating back until 1987. Records prior to that were not in the possession of the previous owner. The car runs and drives perfectly and has a 5 speed transmission. The Clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate were all replaced when the engine was rebuilt 2,200 miles ago (see picture of engine rebuild receipt below). The interior is all original, including the factory carpets which are in fantastic shape, testifying to how well maintained this car is. The headliner was professionally replaced in 1987, and still looks new. Additionally, the dashboard is perfect, and the door panels are un-molested by speakers. In fact the original radio is still in the car and works, as does the clock. The only work that I have had to do was to replace the shifter bushings as they had deteriorated as they are known to do. The car now shifts perfectly again. I would be happy to answer any questions, and provide any photographs that you may require. A deposit via PayPal or wire transfer is required before I will consider the car as sold. Additionally, the car must be paid for in full before I will release it to your transport company. This means a bank check or wire transfer only. I'm sure I left something out, so please feel free to email me for more details. I have set a reasonable starting price for a car in this condition, so there is no reserve, which I believe is more than fair. I am an early Porsche enthusiast, so I am familiar with the 912 market. Thanks for your time and patience in reading this. If you're in the market for a great car in a fantastic color then this may just be the one for you. **Due to multiple requests I have now added additional underside pictures. If you have already looked at this auction, please take the time to look through the pictures again.** I am available by phone to discuss the car if you have any specific questions. Please be mindful of the fact that I am on the East Coast, and limit calls to between 9am and 8pm EST. For those of you who asked, the car has only been on the East Coast since November 2010, the rest of it's life it was in California. Phone: 631-355-1073 (Mike).
