Here we are on the last stretch of a 410 mile trip. Gabe, the 912, averaged 30 MPG at 70MPH. What a great car.

  • New Update: Unfortunately Dave's engine let go earlier this spring. After tear down we found several cracked rings. We shipped the engine out to the guys in So-Cal to do the rebuild and they have found that the .022 distributor could be culprit. A spring was broken/malfunctioning inside... What a shame!

  • UPDATE: Dave put on over 30,000 miles in just one year on this 68, 912. With the original solex's rebuilt he's getting excellent MPG's with a classic car that is easy to work on, a blast to drive and appreciating in value.

  • I have the same identical problem on my speedometer (1984 Porsche 944), my gauge's indicator wobbles at any speed (sway of 3-4mph), and from 0-20mph there is no way of telling how fast you're really going. I must say beautiful car, Porsche classics are the true cars :)

  • ahhhhh the car.

  • At the skip barber school we were told to always double clutch all the time so you are doing the right thing. Do it now with my 944 and it helps.

  • @BMan100 u can restore a porsche, but u never clone one

  • that smile on his face tells it all.

  • Right on!

  • nice car

  • Gorgeous car. Would love to hear what that engine sounds like with a nice deep exhaust
