If you want to (re)capture the thrill of the true Porsche driving experience, or are looking for a sound automotive investment, look no further than this beautiful Porsche 911 T Targa. The car belonged to the owner of a Porsche repair shop, who did the modifications. After that it spent several years in a private collection in Colorado, where it saw very few miles, but did garner some concours ribbons (included).
This car is so much fun to drive, and turns heads everywhere it goes. The distinctive white racing stripes on black are echoed in the interior with period correct Recaro sport seats featuring white leather inserts. The interior is beautiful; all carpets etc have been replaced.The clock is the only thing that doesn't work, but is intact and can be repaired (this is a typical issue). The car is fitted with a Momo steering wheel, but the original wheel is included. The body is solid with no rust, no filler. Even the battery boxes are fine and the car is currently fitted with a gel battery in the smuggler's box. Spare Fuchs is intact and included.The car has been fitted with a ducktail, and has the S option spoiler.
Handling is superb , as the car is fitted with Bilstein 'green' struts, after market adjustable anti-sway bars and a tower brace. Braking is also excellent due to the later model Carrera brakes which are currently fitted. The original S type aluminum calipers, disks and spare pads are included in the sale to maintain the cars authenticity.
Now to the drive train. This car flys! The transmission was rebuilt with a short track "airport" gear set which reduces the to speed to about 125 MPH, but it flys through the gears to get there. The 915 transmission is smoothest I have driven, and the kevlar clutch is new, flywheel was resurfaced, and transaxles rebuilt. While the engine was out I also had the engine resealed (gaskets, main seal) It has a short shift kit. The original engine has been bumped up to 2.7 litres, and the build was meticulous. I estimate this engine to have approx. 125 HP. Webber carbs were added, SC cams, turbo chains and valve covers, and upgraded chain tensioners. Ignition is via a Permatune unit with Nology wires. The car is equipped with SSI heat exchangers, and a dual outlet exhaust. The sound is intoxicating. The cars pulls strongly to redline at 7,300 RPM. With a weight to HP ratio close to 10:1 this car really holds it's own. Power is smooth through out the power band, but really comes on above 4,000 RPM. There is also a large front mount oil cooler with a Mocal thermostat and braided stainless steel lines.
These cars are rapidly increasing in value, and the 1973 911T was selected by Porsche to restore to be raffled in 2011 in support of PCA. A Porsche official at that time declared it one of the most collectible cars in the Porsche model line. I will trully miss this car and I am sure I will come to regret the sale, but my track car seems to take all my time (and money), so I hate to see this car languish in the garage.
The car is currently located in Ottawa Canada, and buyer is responsible for pick-up/shipping. if you have any questions please contact me and I will respond promptly.

Note: I made a few errors in the listing:
"transaxles rebuilt" should read "CV Joints rebuilt"
"125 HP" should read "225 HP"
I apologise for any confusion this may have caused.

Recharge Wrap-up: Lucky fan to drive Porsche 918 Spyder, Avis Denmark has 861 Nissan EVs
Fri, May 1 2015A Tesla Model S customer shares his story of ownership over the course of 120,000 miles. Dante Richardson describes new software updates as being akin to anticipating the prize in a box of Cracker Jacks. Over the many miles he's driven the car, he has only learned to enjoy it more. "I don't know if it's the software updates or some of the other changes that have occurred with the car, but I find myself increasingly enamored and happy with the car as time has passed," Richardson says. His Volvo C70, in the meantime, usually sits idle as he opts to drive the Tesla. Read more at Tesla's website. A Facebook fan from Austria has won the opportunity to drive the Porsche 918 Spyder more than 622 miles. As part of a celebration for Porsche accumulating 10 million likes on the social media platform, Ingo Georges Vandenberghe will drive from London to the Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone, via Wales and the Cotswolds, stopping occasionally to have other fans meet up to see and sign the car. It's a rare opportunity for the lucky driver, as every example of the high-performance Porsche hybrid has been sold.

"To follow up that success we have decided to add the e-NV200 vehicle to broaden our offering and appeal to new types of customers." Read more in the press release below.

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
Porsche 918 Spyder already almost sold out?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Still planning on getting your hands on a Porsche 918 Spyder? You'd better act quickly, because word has it that the hybrid hypercar is nearly sold out.
While Porsche has reportedly only delivered a little over 30 of the 918 examples of the Spyder it plans to manufacture in total, Automotive News says that production is sold out through late March or early April - just a few months shy of when production is set to wrap in July.
That's pretty impressive for a car with a base price of almost $850,000, especially one requiring a $200,000 deposit just to get your name on the list. Still, that sum is significantly less than its competitors get for the McLaren P1 or LaFerrari, both of which sell for over a million (if you can actually get on one at that price), though in fairness, production of each is limited to less than half of the 918 Spyder.
