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 918 Spyder goes ice drifting in Finland

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Along with the Ferrari Laferrari and McLaren P1, the Porsche 918 Spyder is one of the trio of hybrid supercars potentially defining the path for these rarified vehicles going forward. When thinking about high-performance machines like this, the mind usually goes to precise driving around a circuit or maybe along a beautifully undulating road... not so much in the snow. Still, this group has more than enough power to make it through a little bit of powder, and the 918 proves that at the Porsche Driving Experience winter camp in Finland. Although, the set of studded snow tires certainly helps. Even with the trick all-wheel drive system in the Porsche combining a mid-mounted V8 and electric motors, this 918 has absolutely no problem lighting up the rear end in the snow and ice. Even at relatively low speeds, just a blip of the throttle is all it takes for the back tires to step out. However, the handling still looks quite controllable. It's hard to grin as this rare supercar does the Scandinavian Flick to set up a perfect drift between the snow banks.

Porsche Museum highlights history of the 911 RSR

Sat, 12 Jan 2013

Porsche has amassed quite an impressive trophy case in just about every racing series it has ever entered, and one of its most dominant machines has to be the 911 RSR from the 1970s. Taking part in various GT-class competitions, the 911 RSR managed to take home three international and seven German victories in 1973, its very first year of competition.
Not one to downplay its racing successes, Porsche has released an informative video detailing the 911 RSR's impressive heritage. The 1973 RSR model owned by the Porsche Museum is detailed beautifully on video, and we have to say it looks absolutely stunning in its vintage Martini Racing livery.
Have a look at the video below for some historic racing action, along with static shots of one of our favorite Porsche models ever created.

2014 Porsche Cayman S

Second Fiddle Moves To First Chair
In the interest of full disclosure and a bit of bloodletting, allow me to admit that while I've always coveted the Porsche Boxster and its hard-hatted Cayman cousin, I've never really warmed to them visually. They've always had a certain push-me, pull-you, can't-decide-which-way-they're-going aesthetic that I've never really wrapped my head around. Porsche achieved the same thing with the original 550 Spyder's overturned bathtub bodyshell that would come to inspire the Boxster, but somehow that classic's even more symmetrical nature works for me. Fast-forward to this third generation, and at least for this enthusiast, Porsche's manchild has well and truly come of age as a design.
It's all there - a piercing stare thanks to squircle headlamps inspired by the 918 Spyder hypercar, newfound directional thrust afforded by a longer wheelbase and elongated greenhouse, and muscular rear haunches with a wider stance emphasized by larger side ductwork and snubbed overhangs. The body's teardrop shape terminates with an active spoiler that integrates into a gorgeous arc with the taillamps like a budding ducktail nod to 1973 911 Carrera RS. Despite casting a longer shadow than its predecessor, the 2014 Cayman still looks tidily proportioned, smooth and wieldy, the perfect skipping stone to ricochet down a canyon river road.
