True "barn find". Last licensed in 1989. In storage for 25 years. Car I.D. #119220153. Engine I.D. #6290401. Almost
100% certainty that this is the original engine and transaxle, which I would almost bet have never been out of the
car. Buying the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity is a mute point considering the engine number completely jibes
with the VIN. This car has some surface rust but overall is quite nice. In comparison to most "barn finds", this
one is quite exceptional. Only real rust bubbles are on the lower portion of the right front fender, and even
they're not really bad. Also both headlight buckets on the inner fender side have minor rust in the bottoms of the
bucket, where the wire grommet was located.
This car has the complete air cleaner assembly, including ducting, which was removed to access the engine I.D.
number mounted on the right side of the crank case. Original Fuchs alloys with an alloy spare rim. I have removed
the fuel tank, which was 3/4's full of odiferous fuel. With a seep in a hose, I HAD to get it away from the car!
The fuel tank will most likely need replacing. The car appears to be 100% complete. The interior needs to be
restored. The dash top has no cracks. The head liner is even in good shape with no rips. Sorry no books, records or
original jack.
The condition of the engine/transmission are unknown. Original miles of 134,300. This car is a great candidate for
a restoration, where the body has very little repairs needed. Original paint color was orange, which for some
reason, it was repainted yellow. The heat exchangers on the engine have pretty much fallen apart and will need to
be changed.
All the glass is good, trim pieces all there. The wood pedal board is in the front trunk, which needs to be
replaced. I have NOT tried to turn the engine over, as I feel it should be oiled up before doing that.
With the car sitting for 25 years, it simply needs to be dismantled and overhauled. Trying to get it running as is,
would be pointless. I can take pictures of any part of this car. It's available for an inspection.

NYT profiles Blue Nelson, a reclusive and interesting CA car collector
Thu, 25 Sep 2014If it weren't for his Dale Earnhardt Sr. looks, Blue Nelson could be one one of those soft-spoken, nondescript guys whom you meet briefly and never learn much more about. However, as The New York Times shows in a recent profile and video, behind closed doors, Nelson keeps a fascinatingly eclectic collection of automotive oddities and vintage bicycles.
While his main career is in the movie industry, Nelson's other job is as a car hunter. He takes on clients searching for a specific model and helps them find and restore the dream vehicle that they're after. Hiring him takes some dedication, though, because Nelson doesn't advertise his services. "If people want to find me, they know how to find me," he says in the video.
Beyond being an automotive private detective, Nelson has a fantastically varied collection of vehicles of his own. He likes to have models that people don't usually see, and his garage holds a classic Chrysler New Yorker and an extremely rare Rometsch convertible. Although, the one that means the most to him is the 1962 Porsche 356 convertible that Blue came home in as a baby. Check out the video to learn more about Nelson and his philosophy about forming a bond with a car.
The pre-race and first in-race report from Le Mans
Sat, 22 Jun 2013The 2013, 90th anniversary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans has begun, tragedy marking the opening laps with the death of Allan Simonsen. We're at the track now as a guest of Audi and plan to stay through the evening, and even we haven't been able to find out what caused the accident - the only video is from just after the incident, and beyond the statement from ACO there's been no more news. The Aston Martin in the LM GTE Am class and its all-Danish drivers had taken pole in its class and was one of the favorites to win.
The pre-race report will come first, and even thought we can't spoil the race because we're only five hours into it at the time of writing, we'll put all of the news at the end in case you don't even want the updates.

Muffler Man gets racing suit to mark progress on Porsche Experience Center
Sat, 19 Oct 2013In a dramatic change of careers, a fiberglass Muffler Man statue on the side of a busy Los Angeles freeway, formerly known as "Golf Guy," traded in his clubs for a Porsche driver's suit a couple days ago. It's no coincidence, as he's standing on land that the German automaker bought from the Dominguez Hills Golf Course a couple years ago to build its west coast Porsche Experience Center - which will be complete with a test track, restoration and maintenance facilities, a cafe and restaurant, a home for Porsche Motorsports North America and more, when it's finished in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The Porsche Muffler Man will serve as the gatekeeper to the 53-acre center and overlook the test track on the side of the 405 freeway. We can't think of a better job for a fiberglass giant that used to watch golf all day than to watch Porsche road cars and racecars getting wrung out on a test track in the middle of LA. Since Muffler Men are quite adaptable, we're sure this one will fit into his new role in no time - just as easily as he can double as Paul Bunyan.
Check out the press release below for more information on the Muffler Man and the experience center, which could be the ultimate adult playground when it's finished.
