DRY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CAR

Fuchs 15x6 deep replicas




How many short wheel base 911 cars have you seen for sale recently? Hardly any would be the answer, the reason is because short wheel base production numbers for 911 cars were very low, the 912 out sold the 911 by a huge margin. On top of the low numbers these early cars were prone to bad rust if they were not taken care of properly.  These factors led to very few of these cars left in existence. With good condition 1965-66 values reaching the $100k+ mark recently this may be your only chance to get into a short wheel base car for a reasonable cost. 

This is a very nice project car and not a rusty hulk like many out there for sale. Currently registered with both of its original 1968 California black and yellow license plates. It is a dry southern California car with solid rockers, torsion tube area, front pan and body panels, only the floor pan has minimal rust issues. It has what I call California rust - bad seals let rain water in during the 10 days of rain we get in the year, the water sits in the middle of the floor pan under the rubber mat and rusts only the center of the floor. This one has it in the passenger rear pan (look at underside pictures). Do not confuse this with bad weather rust like the east coast cars - bad weather rust flings snow and salt throughout the body of the car causing rust everywhere and into the frame of the car. California rust does not effect the rockers/longitudinals or other areas that are difficult to repair. The floor pan in this car could be left as is for a simple driver car, it could be patched up with a repair patch, or a replacement floor pan could be fitted to the car for the ultimate fix. The front suspension pan has already been replaced in the past, the quality of the work was very good. I see no accident damage on this car other than the rear latch panel has been replaced, the quality of the work here is excellent and the new part fits perfectly. Gaps on this car are very good, all the hoods and doors fit very well with nice even gaps, the rear decklid is a little out of alignment but not bad. A few dents in the body, the hood is scraped. This car would be very easy to paint and any issues with body work would be normal and repaired during a normal paint job. 

The engine is a 1969 911T engine with Webers. It runs and drives but needs work to make it a driver. The engine needs some tuning, at the moment it can drive on and off a transport vehicle but it is not suitable for freeway driving. Transmission and clutch work well. Brakes work well. Keep in mind you are buying a project car, if you can work on the car yourself then this will be easy to fix. If you need to take your car to a shop for everything then go buy a more reliable later model car or learn how to do it yourself. 

The most common route for a car like this is a hotrod or custom built creation. A 911R replica would be very cool or build yourself a lightweight sports purpose car like the factory rally cars of the 1960s. Add a 2.7L engine, 915 transmission, some bigger brakes and you have a great hotrod that will outperform most cars. Of course a 1968 engine could easily be found and the car could be restored to its original glory in the awesome Golden Green color (see pictures for what that color looks like). 

This is a project car, it is sold AS-IS where-is FOB 92084.

Audi CEO says brand's EVs are almost as profitable as its other cars

Mon, Oct 4 2021

After, oh, a hundred years or so of building vehicles primarily powered by internal combustion engines, automakers around the world have been and still are pumping billions of dollars into the development of electric vehicle technology. Everything from platforms and batteries to motors and the software to control it all requires untold hours of development, and that takes time and money. Fortunately, it's not going to take long for that massive investment to start paying off, at least according to Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, who told Reuters in an interview that "The point where we earn as much money with electric cars as with combustion engine cars is now, or ... next year, 2023. They are very even now, the prices." As a brand, Audi contributed more than a quarter of overall profit for the massive Volkswagen Group, which has such powerhouse brands as Volkswagen and Porsche among others. Under the Audi umbrella are Lamborghini, Bentley and Ducati, and it seems those high-end branches aren't going anywhere, at least for now. "These brands ... are very valuable very profitable brands, where we can even expand the synergy level in the future," Duesmann said in the interview. "There are no plans whatsoever to get rid of them." Despite the overall profitability of the brand, the ongoing global chip crisis is causing headaches. "We had a very strong first half in 2021. We do expect a much weaker second half," said Duesmann, who added, "We really have trouble." In fact, so serious is the trouble that the brand is forced into "a day-to-day troubleshooting process" to limit the chip-shortage damage. The good news for the automaker is that Audi has been able to boost its profit margin from 8% prior to the pandemic in 2019 to 10.7% in the first half of 2021. The bad news is that various chip shortages aren't expected to get a whole lot better over the rest of the year. Related video:

Seinfeld takes Seth Meyers out in the perfect Porsche

Sat, 13 Jul 2013

The latest episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee features Seth Meyers of Saturday Night Live fame riding shotgun in what is a very special Porsche from host Jerry Seinfeld's collection: a 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7. Seinfeld chose the "no-nonsense" sports car because he thought it fit his guest's personality (Meyers thinks motorcycles "are like the cigarette of transportation"), but we enjoy the chance to see one of these rare, über-valuable Porsches being driven on city streets - and in the rain, no less! What we don't like seeing is the Carrera RS being parallel parked behind a pick-up truck, though, fortunately, it seems that Seinfeld was able to avoid any front-end damage to the comparatively fragile Porsche.
Once at the coffee shop, the two comedians have a candid conversation about Meyers' time with SNL, from his early days on the show when he didn't think he was good enough to be a cast member to some of the high points in his career, such as SNL's "Really!?" segment that he performed in and how he became a writer for the show.
After coffee, when they're back in the car and Seinfeld opens up the throttle of the lightweight RS 2.7, he manages to eke out a big grin from Meyers - or maybe it was a grimace at the thought of driving in the rain on old tires. Whatever the case, be sure to watch the video below (and stay tuned until the end for a surprise).

Lots of new cars were unveiled in Munich this week. Here's what you might've missed

Thu, Sep 9 2021

The 2021 Munich Auto Show is happening this week and due to ongoing corporate travel restrictions, we remained firmly planted on this continent. So, although we can't tell you exactly what it's like inside the futuristic new Mercedes EQE electric sedan or fully appreciate the funky Volkswagen ID.Life concept, there's no shortage of details and analysis to provide.  Obviously, as Germany's premier auto show in 2021, the cars unveiled were primarily from the German brands. We also focused mostly on the cars that might actually make their way to the United States, or at least inspire those that will.   2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE is an electric alternative to the E-Class While the EQS paved the way for Mercedes' electrified future, much like the S-Class before it, the EQE stands to be the car that will move in far greater numbers -- much like the E-Class before it. Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 View 12 Photos   Mercedes-Maybach EQS Concept shows SUV future of the flagship brand Opulence will still have a place in an electrified future, as Maybach gets into the EQ game with a grand electric SUV. Mercedes-Maybach EQS Concept View 4 Photos   Volkswagen ID.Life concept previews the city car's high-riding EV future Well, isn't this adorable? Though perhaps a tad derivative of the Honda E, Volkswagen's blocky little crossover EV nevertheless represents a handsome new direction for VW design. We like this better than the rounded looks of the current ID.3 and ID.4.  2021 Volkswagen ID.Life concept View 20 Photos   BMW i Vision Circular is a 100% recycled and recyclable hatch Behold, the next BMW 3 Series! Just kidding. Besides this, BMW displayed cars in person for the first time that it had previously only unveiled on the interwebs, including the new 2 Series and revised iX3. It also unveiled some bikes. BMW i Vision Circular Concept View 63 Photos   Audi's GrandSphere concept was designed as a road-going private jet Does Audi know what a sphere is? Cause this isn't anything like one. Still, it's quite a handsome thing, and as one of three Sphere-branded concepts, previews the next direction of Audi design (which is pleasantly reminiscent of two-decade-old Mazda design). No complaints here. 2021 Audi GrandSphere concept View 26 Photos   Porsche Mission R is a 1,000-horsepower electric monster Just like the Mission E previewed the Taycan, this apparently previews another future car.
