If you are looking for a fine restoration project this one is for you.   I have owned this Porsche for years and a restoration had begun but not completed. It was mostly complete but partially disassembled when I bought it well over 15 years ago. I have always stored it inside. Currently it is on a rotisserie which is not included as well as the engine stand seen in the pictures.
Most needed replacement body panels were purchased from Zims in Dallas Texas and are a very high quality. Some panels on the left side have been installed by a body shop. The engine was running when purchased and looking under valve cover led me to thing it may be a low mileage rebuild. I do not know if it is the original to the car. The transaxle as well as front suspension have been removed and are included in sale.
Included are New front windshield, rear glass, front seats, gauges includes clock, sway bar, defroster tube, six headlight assemblies and very nice front and rear bumpers I purchased a few years ago. I also have many, many other small parts both new and used that are included.
Please note that you will need a body "dolly" to move and ship. I will work with the Buyer for pickup however I can not help with heavy lifting. Contact me for other information or pictures you might need.

The sale is as is with no implied warranty.

Payment is USA funds and Seller will not handle cross border shipping. The Buyer is to handle all shipping details.

Porsche Cayman S and Caterham 7 go head to head on the drag strip

Fri, 27 Jun 2014

We recently saw the standard Porsche Cayman go up against a Subaru WRX STI in a one-mile drag race with surprising results. Apparently, Evo had a similar idea of evaluating the Cayman's quickness. However, it opted for the more powerful S model and chose a flyweight Caterham Roadsport 140 as the challenger. Will the results of this battle be as close at the end of the kilometer-long (0.62-mile) drag?
Neither of these are cars you'd usually associate with drag racing, but they are nearly evenly matched. Evo selected them based on power-to-weight ratio, with the Caterham offering a scant 140 horsepower in a lithe 1,213-pound package. The Porsche is a quite svelte 2,910 pounds but has 325 hp to haul it around.
Of course, power-to-weight ratio isn't everything. There are a ton of other variables like aerodynamics and gearing that play a huge role, as well. Can the little Caterham's weight advantage overcome the better aero and additional power of the Porsche? Scroll down watch the video and find out.

Porsche celebrates 5M Facebook fans with crowdsourced one-off 911

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

Porsche's Facebook fan base appears to be accelerating as quickly as the cars it builds. The German automaker has just unveiled a special 911 Carrera 4S designed with crowdsourced input as a way to thank its five million Facebook fans.
The 911 features special Aquablaumetallic paint from Porsche Exclusive, contrasting 20-inch white Carrera S wheels and pinstriping, along with an aero package including a fixed rear wing. Inside, there are unique backlit sill plates and the obligatory dashboard engraving that says "Personally Built by 5 Million Porsche Fans."
As a way to turn at least one virtual thumbs up into its more meaningful physical-world equivalent, Porsche is holding a contest to win the chance to drive the car at Britain's Silverstone racetrack - and bring a friend - and nine lucky runners-up will win 1:43-scale models of the 911.

Porsche creates 'symphony' with seven generations of 911

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

At Porsche, things are getting a bit wild on the 50th anniversary year of the 911. To celebrate it (again) in yet another inventive way, the automaker has called on the musical talents of seven generations of the rear-engine sports car (please suspend your disbelief, at least for the length of the video, and assume that generation two started in 1974) to perform a song that has eight notes. We're wondering which 911 is pulling double duty...
But before the Porsches are lined up for the short recital, the drivers let loose and drift them inside a hangar. Watch the video below, and tell us in comments which was more impressive: the song or the drifting.
