Greetings Fellow Ebay-er's!

What we have for auction this beautiful Saturday morning in Grass Valley, California 95949 is a black plate, panels-matching, numbers-matching California survivor 1966 Porsche 911 in Artic White, black leather front seats and black leatherette rear seats with a front anti-roll bar, Blaupunkt in-dash AM-FM radio, fog lights, factory air conditioning and factory-installed gas heater; a real time-machine!  The Certificate of Authenticity has yet to arrive but a phone call to Porsche North America confirmed the numbers and options; we were told the printed version should arrive in a week or two.
The biggest killer of the early 911 cars is rust but this car is 99.9% rust-free, with the only spot of rust being on the driver-side C-pillar towards the rear grill; all other suspect areas are free of rust.  There is some surface rust under the hood, but check out the pictures for a closer look.  The real beauty of this car is its lack of damage, with no filler or replaced panels anywhere.  Very remarkable for a 47 year old Porsche 911 car.  For anyone wanting to have access to perfect panels, well, this is your car!
The car comes with all of its original documentation, receipts and manuals, including the 911 Owner's manual, the 911/912 Accessories manual and the original Blaupunkt number card, installation and operating instructions.  Check out the pictures for the manual shots; more pics of the other docs on request.
The car had been sitting for a while so the gas tank was removed, not-tanked, sealed and re-installed.  All rubber gas lines have been replaced, along with the brake master cylinder, front rubber and metal brake lines, just to be safe.  The original parts removed are included with the auction.
The car has had some modifications to the engine area over the decades, including a Bursch exhaust, Weber 40mm IDA from a later "S", an after market capacitive discharge ignition system, a solid-state fuel pump and a Mallory old school, hot-rod coil, which is very cool!  The car runs very strong and idles smoothly, as it should since, according to the receipts, the engine was rebuilt 3500 miles ago.
The tires are in like-new condition but are quite old and should be replaced with a tire comparable to this car's performance potential.  The five steel wheels are the originals, all stamped 3/66 and from the same manufacturer with the same off-set, and four hub-caps are included.  The chrome steel wheels are showing a bit of their age and could use a clean-up, and possible a re-chrome.
The VIN is 304466 and the engine number is 907688, just like the COA says.  I don't have the trans number now but the car will go on the lift today for some under-side shots, so I'll get that listed ASAP.
The car is a real find and virtually all original; even the original shift knob is included, along with a touch-up container of white paint and the original seat belts.  Also included are a pair of Pasadena Bursch license late frames in very good condition with no cracks.  The car does need a re-spray from being exposed to the elements for so long, but it is a worthy car.
Bid early and bid often!  Please, no calls from ANY dealers asking what the reserve is.  No calls from ANY dealers touting themselves as "paying top dollar for your Porsche" because that just isn't true.  Free market auctions will decide what the cost of this car actually is, so bid to win.
This car is being sold as-is with no warranty implied.  I have described this car as accurately as I can; feel free to email or call to discuss the car.

Thanks, and Happy Bidding!

I just realized I took the engine bay pictures without the air cleaner; rest assured it does come with its original air cleaner.


thanks!

On Apr-16-13 at 19:46:58 PDT, seller added the following information:

I've added three under-car pictures, and I have reached my picture limit on Ebay.  If you have any need for any other pictures, feel free to ask and I'll send them directly, literally and figuratively.


The bottom of the car shows a few dents, but nothing that can't be fixed.  And no structural rust.  

The exhaust pipe for the gas-heater is rusted through and will need to be replaced.

The passenger-side heater exchanger has a hole in it, so that will need to replaced.

The car comes with two extra fan/alternator belts; a Continental-branded and one Porsche-branded.

Also, if you'd like to view the car, hear it run and/or peek inside, send an email and I'll send you my address.

Since the car is being advertised locally, I reserve the right to end this auction at any time.

Thanks!

The 2017 Porsche 911 RSR goes mid-engine, purists be damned

Wed, Nov 16 2016

Porsche unveiled its World Endurance Championship and IMSA WeatherTech Championship competitor with the 2017 911 RSR. And this 911 is different from the rest, as the 4.0-liter flat-six engine powering this beast is in front of the rear axle, not behind it. That's right, this 24 Hours of Le Mans competitor ditches the iconic rear-engine layout. Porsche isn't talking specifics on how exactly things are arranged back there. The engine is new, now based on the 991 911's block instead of the previous Mezger motor that's been used for years. The transmission design is new as well – it would have to be to accommodate the new location relative to the engine. The racecar has been engineered to meet the LM-GTE class, where it will go up against other mid-engine cars like the Ford GT and Ferrari 488 GTE. Moving the engine to the middle has given Porsche the ability to fit the 911 RSR with massive bits of aero, like the humongous rear diffuser that looks like it would be more at home on a machine of war. The only thing that can compete with the diffuser for size is the top-mounted rear wing, which shares a similar design to the one found on the 919 Hybrid. Going back to the engine, the direct-injected boxer motor, depending on the size of the restrictor, generates as much as 510 horsepower and sends all of its fury to the rear wheels. The engine is paired to a six-speed sequential gearbox, which drivers can employ through paddles on the steering wheel. The new engine doesn't have a lot of weight to push around as the 911 RSR, as required by regulations, weighs 2,740 pounds. Speaking of weight, the engine layout isn't the only change for the 911 RSR. For 2017, the car ditches its steel body for one that's made out of carbon fiber. The body attaches to the chassis via quick-release fasteners, making the vehicle easier to service as exterior elements can be removed with minimal effort. The racecar also gets a radar-based collision system – aptly named the "Collision Avoid System" – which is meant to limit the 911 RSR's encounters with faster LMP prototypes. Only time will tell if the new layout and aerodynamic components help the 911 RSR beat its competition. But there will be plenty of opportunities to see the racecar in action as Porsche plans to run the 911 RSR in 19 races during the 2017 season, the first of which will take place at the IMSA opener on January 28th at Daytona, where the racecar will make its track day debut.

Porsche 918 Spyder pre-production version in all its almost-done glory

Sun, 18 Aug 2013

Porsche continues the long tease of its upcoming 918 Spyder, with the latest instantiation here at the Pebble Beach Concours, with the car presented in pre-production form to the throngs on the golf course.
Just a few days ago Porsche dropped an image of the car on its official Twitter feed. True to that leak, this 918 looks damn near what we expect the full customer version to be when it is officially debuted in Frankfurt. The neon-green brake calipers are items new to this version of the 918, and seem to be an identical color to those found on the Panamera S E-Hybrid.
When it shows up as a drivable piece, expect the Porsche supercar, with its gasoline-electric drivetrain, to be pretty insane. Horsepower in excess of 800 ponies will be available with a toe-tap, while the price of entry is expected to come within shouting distance of $850,000. A good deal for Porsche to bring the thing to Pebble then, where buyers with that kind of cash are think on the ground (and most likely wearing sherbet-colored trousers).

The 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S brings 50 extra ponies to Detroit

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Porsche has announced a new version of its popular SUV today at the Detroit Auto Show: the 550-horsepower 2014 Cayenne Turbo S.
This newly minted "flagship" of the Cayenne lineup is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 engine, and offers 50 hp more than the Cayenne Turbo. Performance figures are impressive for the sleek utility vehicle: 0-60 miles per hour can be dashed off in 4.3 seconds, while maximum speed is rated at 175 mph. The Turbo S also gets dynamic chassis control, torque vectoring and Porsche's Sport Chrono package - all standard equipment.
Visually the Cayenne Turbo S differentiates itself from the lesser models in pretty subtle ways. Gloss black trim decorates the gawping front air intakes, as well as rear-view mirror trim panel. The SUV also wears 21-inch Turbo II wheels, a la the 911 Turbo.
