You are bidding on a two owner, numbers matching, 1963 Super 90 Coupe (S/N 210988). The mileage is actual. The car was originally Black exterior, red interior. It has been painted only once, the

present yellow shown. At the time of painting, the only body work done/required was a small floor patch under the accelerator pedal and the replacement of the battery box floor, from the usual acid

corrosion. The car is/was otherwise quite dent and rust free, and has been stored indoors for the last 35 years. The certificate of Authenticity lists the engine as # 805590 and the transmission as

56744 (741/2A) which agree with the case castings. The transmission is listed as having a limited slip differential. To the best of our knowledge it has never been apart and the condition of it is thus

unknown. The vehicle also has the camber compensator that was standard feature with S-90s. It is 98% complete parts-wise and basically needs reassembly.

The engine was disassembled by the first owner due to a rod knock. While apart, his mechanic dropped one of the pistons, breaking its skirt (see photo). At that point, living in the "boonies", and not

being able to procure the proper replacement piston, he gave up in frustration, never putting the engine back together and selling the vehicle instead. A new proper sized piston was eventually obtained

and the crankshaft was reworked and nitrided by Competition Engineering at first under on all journals. The alloy cylinders have almost no discernible wear. Bearings are included with the crank. New

wrist pins bushings need to be fitted to the rods. Rings are available for the pistons, so with lots and lots of cleaning, the engine should go back together fairly readily, without great parts expense.

The interior is done with correct square weave carpet and a new headliner. The seats were properly recovered. The vinyl is soft, but they feel rather firm when sat upon, so one may need/wish to

re-do the under-padding. The chrome on the seat mechanisms is in excellent condition. The same cannot be said of the window frames, which will ultimately need to be re-chromed, but all the parts

are there. The original radio and speakers with their grills are part of the package. The tinted windshield is new. The bumpers are straight and painted. It has its original muffler, all the exhaust and

sheet metal components. As per the photos, there are many new parts that come with the vehicle, such as bumper guards, headlight assemblies, lenses, a full kit of all the rubber parts, etc..

As indicated previously, the body is in great condition with none of the usual collision, rust and and panel replacement issues. There is one item to disclose and that is the painter/body-man chose to be

creative without asking and decided that even though it had never had any hood damage, the mounting points for it should be strengthened to keep that from happening. If one looks carefully, the

gussets he added to the hood can be seen in the photos. It certainly is possible to remove them if one is striving for a concours car, but for the moment, out of practicality they have been left in place.

Without a high lift and having a limited number of images available on this web-site, there are no photos of the underside, but rust and dents are definitely not an issue, only the annoyance of overspray. :(

There are also more boxes of parts than the photo space for this listing will allow.

This is yet another stalled restoration, but at least most everything is there and mainly needs one with the time and dedication to bring it to completion.

Vehicle is also listed locally and subject to prior sale.

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S named Motor Trend Best Driver's Car [w/video]

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

Motor Trend has named the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S its best driver's car for 2013. The annual
competition for the title included some of the best performance cars that have gone on sale in the past year. The new C4S follows the 2012 Best Driver's Car award winner, a two-wheel-drive Carrera S.
Determining the winner of the coveted title isn't easy. Each vehicle is pushed through Motor Trend's normal battery of instrumented tests. Editors then spend time with each car over a 500-mile tour of mixed conditions before a final batch of testing at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, with pro racer Randy Pobst at the wheel.

Porsche recalling 4,400 911, Boxster and Cayman models over hood latches

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Porsche has issued a "precautionary" and voluntary safety recall affecting some 4,400 sports cars across the globe. Here in the United States, the recall includes 1,382 911, Boxster convertibles and Cayman coupes, all of which are from model years 2014 and 2015.
Porsche will be replacing the lock bracket for the front cargo area (the frunk) after internal testing revealed that, while the vehicles meet "strength requirements," specific parts might not meet the company's quality standards throughout the vehicle's life. There have been no reports of accidents or injuries.
Owners of the affected cars will be notified within 60 days and will need to report to a nearby dealer for a free repair, which should take about 30 minutes.
