912 Projects at Personalized Autohaus

Glenn Roberts, Chief Porsche mechanic at Personalized Autohaus has been working hard this new year on a couple of projects. Glenn is our restoration specialist having restored numerous 356 Porsches including Speedsters, Cabriolets and Coupes, 904's, 910's, RSR's, early 911's, 914's and 911 Turbo's. He has been with Personalized  Autohaus, Inc. since 1977 and it has been just recently that the 912s came out of the garages and became much of  interest as restoration projects. This is due to the increase in value of the 912s made by Porsche between 1965 and 1969; which has a 911 chassis/body but a 356 style engine.

 

Glenn laid out the new transmission parts to be assembled for a 1967 912:

Dana Point Concours d'Elegance - 2013

Wayne Baker has participated with his 1974 Carrera "Old blue" at the Dana Point Concours on Sunday July 21st 2013.
Although it was overcast, there were a lot of Vintage Porsche enthusiasts who gathered on the lawn at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott. The crowd and number of entered cars have doubled since last year's concours.
It was nice to see many old friends and new enthusiasts. Our neighbor Tom and Annette of La Jolla Shores drove their red '63 Porsche Coupe. Tom won 4 chrome wheels by Stoddard.
Hope to see everyone again at next year's event! For more information about participating or display go to the official website http://www.danapointconcours.org/
