Custom built one-off: 1968 Irish Green Porsche 912, fully Zelelectric.
Featured in Autoweek Feb 2025: veteran automotive journalist Mark Vaughn took it out for a test drive, “Just about perfect…fantastic! The car feels right…acceleration is just short of what would scare you but more than you’re [ever] likely to need.”
Packing a powerful Tesla S motor, this car is one of our all-time favorite builds - after spending the last few years in its Pebble Beach temp-controlled garage, this award-winning Irish Green Zelectric 68 Porsche 912 is available for purchase. You may have seen it before, when Jay Leno’s Garage featured it, or when this new breed outlaw was displayed at the Los Angeles Porsche Experience Center. Price $184,000

About Beetles: from an investment perspective, the best candidates are models built from 1958 through 1967. These years represent the sweet spot - where Beetles offer the best combination of charm, collectibility and drivability. Parts are easily available. And because stock appearance is never compromised, their values continue to climb over time.
More to come. If you're interested in a specific model that's already sold, we can find and rebuild one for you. Zelectric Beetle, Porsche 356, 911, 912, Microbus, Karmann Ghia, or Thing, or others lesser seen: Squarebacks, Notchbacks, etc... whichever model you have in mind, let us know.
