Since the introduction of the 912 model in 1965, Porsche's best selling models have always been their entry level positioned cars. For a number of years, the 912 outsold the 911, some years even at a rate of 2 to 1. The 914 was Porsche's best selling model through the 1970s, that is until the introduction of the 924. Then, the 944 carried that …

In the glory days of the 917, one of my favorites was Jo Siffert. An accomplished F1 driver, he found the big sports cars a good fit as well, and slipped easily back and forth during the season. Having piloted a 906 at Sebring in 1966, he had been in a 910 in 1967 , and won that race outright in a 907 with Hans Hermann in 1968. A 908 he shared with …

Are you familiar with Plasti Dip? If you're not, you need to check this stuff out. Basically, it's a removable finish that you can leave on as long as you want, peel it off when you're done and supposedly it leaves no residue and protects the paint.
