This is the very first 911 ever called “Turbo”. Originally displayed at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1973 where Porsche announced it’s first Turbo production model. This was also the first Porsche prototype to feature the famous ‘whale tail’. The tartan interior would make the car a trendsetter for Turbo models to come. The car has undergone a precise restoration to return it to its 1973 Frankfurt Auto Show look and spec.

This three-owner, early bent window coupe was first delivered in Germany to an American Serviceman and then brought to the U.S. in the late 1950s. This car was purchased to be used in a film for the first Porsche Cayenne and later also appeared in the Family Tree commercial to launch the Panamera. Over Jeff Zwart’s 20+ year ownership, this 356 Pre A regularly travels on canoe trips throughout the Rocky Mountains with a dog or two in the back. It is driven year round and has studded snow tires throughout the winter.

The Bahama 912 is a Southern California native, just like its owner. In 1968 an Irish Green 912 was delivered from Germany to a dealership in Van Nuys, CA. Story goes, it’s spent its life in SoCal, passing through more than a few owners, including a Hollywood Producer and a rock star custom motorcycle builder. After a stint in Tangerine Orange, it found its true color – Bahama Yellow. In 2019 it landed with it’s owner and was given a full mechanical rebuild by iconic air-cooled shop, Benton Performance. The team at Benton also completed a few interior details and a unique set of wheels. Over the last five years, this912 has been driven up and down the West Coast on two round trips from Los Angeles to Seattle on Highway 1, as well as road trips to Sedona, AZ and Sonoma, CA. It’s tracked at Portland International Raceway and Chuckwalla Valley Raceway. But mostly, owner Jim and the 912 drive dawn patrol runs with a great group of fellow Porsche drivers on Hwy 74 out of Palm Desert. The 912s motto is: Speed is a number. Fast is a feeling.

In 1969, the current owner purchased this car as a daily driver.  To him, the car represents the good old days when you would do your own tune ups, carburetor rebuilds, bearing replacements, and brake rotor and pad changes.  It was a time when you would see 356s and other F models on the road and would both blink your lights as a way of showing mutual respect and appreciation for a Porsche. Although the owner would like to have a new model in the future, he says this 912 still is very reliable after 55 years and is definitely a keeper for the rest of his life.

A 911 in its purest form. Developed in Flacht. And built for a single purpose: maximum driving pleasure. The 911 S/T combines the essence of 60 years of the 911 with its purist lightweight design, breathtaking GT high performance and significantly reduced sound insulation. The result is an unprecedented combination of purism, agility and unique driving dynamics.

The 944 Turbo entered production in 1985, making a significant difference to the standard performance of the 944. The new turbocharged engine generated 220PS, resulting in the 0-60mph time being reduced to 5.9 seconds, a three-second improvement. The 944 offered Porsche sportscar power but combined that with plenty of practicality, like its hatchback configuration.
