HISTORY V.I.N. 9110121920 Engine # 6106863 Up for auction here is my 1970 Porsche 911T. This is a 2 owner rust free California car. I purchased this car in 1984 when I worked at a Porsche Dealership in Sunnyvale California, it was a trade in from the original owner. Car was originally purchased at Anderson Behel Porsche in Santa Clara Ca. The previous owner mainly serviced the car at the dealership and followed a particular mechanic (Hans Modderman) from A/B Porsche to Sunnyvale Porsche and also a short period at a private shop (Modderman Porsche in Mnt. View Ca.). CONDITION When I purchased this car in 1984 I was 20 y.o. and wanted to make it my own by changing a few minor things during the restoration, I changed the front bumper to an S style bumper, the original interior was 2 tone black and tan and I changed it to all black leather, the exterior color was a solid burgundy 2424 and I changed it to 1981 Porsche wine red metallic. I also updated the timing chains and tensioners. I still have and will include in the sale the original style front bumper and tan door cards. When I bought the car it had about 100k miles on it, in the 30 years I have owned it I have put less that an additional 5k miles on it. When I completed the restoration in 1986 it was a very high quality job and the car won the 3 local car shows it entered. since then it has spent the better part of the past 30 years in my garage. It hasn't been driven or even started in over 15 years. Even though it's been a long time I do remember the car ran VERY good with great power and throttle response, although it did smoke for about 5 minutes when I would start it up, i'm sure much of this was due to how infrequently I drove it,but I think it would be a safe bet that at least it could use new piston rings dew to age and that it has been sitting so long. the 5 speed trans went through all the gears smoothly and never popped out of gear, though to me it seamed a little noisy but every other early 911 I've been in since had a somewhat noisy gearbox too. the motor leaks VERY little oil, I have included a picture of my garage floor where the car has been parked for the past 20+ years with no drip pan. BODY When I restored the car in the mid 1980's I put an emphesus on quality, and though the body had no significant damage it did have door dings, I repaired them and skim coated and blocked every panel before priming and reblocking the body until it was perfect. the bodywork has held up very well over the years. detailed flaws in the body are as follows 1. Two quarter sized dings in the left fender(wing). 2. two tiny bubbles in the right rear quarter panel (pictured), these are in the primer or basecoat, I assure and guarantee these are not rust! I wont detail all paint flaws because whom ever buys this car will obviously want to restore it anyway. I will say that it has many scratches and the 25+ year old clearcoat is obviously very oxidized. This being a California car all its life and stored most of it, rust is a NON factor, please check all detailed photos and recognize how pristine the normal "problem areas" are....i.e.floor pans,front apron and even the battery boxes! All panel gaps line up correctly and doors open and close as they should with that distinctive "ting" you hear when a 911 door closes. Except for a rock chip in the windshield all the glass is original and in good shape. during the restoration I had the windows film tinted and the rear windscreen tint is now bubbling, probably not an issue because the new owner will probably remove all the tint anyway. It has the original non fixed rear wing windows, they open and close and fit well although I never installed the clasps because I had intended to replace them with stationary windows and didn't want to put holes in the headliner to install the clasps. I have and am including the original window clasps. Most of the brightwork has been painted trim black (at the time I just thought it was a better look) Can easily be polished off to be original. the left horn grill is broken and will need to be replaced. During the restoration I removed the rocker decco trim and replaced it with a light coat of body schuts and then painted over it (again I thought it was a better look), I can assure you this was NOT done to hide any rust issues! Car has 5! original equiptment 15X6 Fuchs polished and painted the the color of the car also has polished and hand painted wheel caps and polished lugs including "Porsche" key locking lugs. Tires are brand new 30 year old B.F. Goodrich 50 series Euro T/A's. though the tires have 95% tread and hold air, they are very old and cracking, I would suggest replacing them. INTERIOR when I restored the car 25+ years ago I had the original seats redone in black leather, with less then 5k miles since the resto they are still in great shape although the passenger seat needs to be cleaned. Carpets are in great shape aswell (although not factory correct). headliner is as new with NO sagging, no stains, no tears. door panels are in great shape although the fold down pockets have the normal warping, the stationary door pockets need to be tightend up a little or just recovered. rear leather package tray and side panels are not perfect but are in very very good shape. The dash cap is warped,cracked, separated at the seam and basicly trash in my opinion. overall other than the dash cap the interior is in great shape. I have included 80 full size pictures with this add and given a very detailed and honest discription. please check all the pictures before you ask questions, if you do have any questions please ask before you bid.
In conclusion this is a great rust free California car waiting for its next restoration. At the end of auction I will require a $1000 non refundable deposit within 24 hours of auctions end. the balance must be paid within 7 days via cash, cashiers check or bank transfer. car will not be released until paid in full. If you have any questions please ask before bidding! Please don't bid unless you have the funds available to complete the purchase! I welcome overseas bidders. Buyer must arrange shipping. If an overseas buyer wins the auction I will prep the car for shipping, I am familiar with the strict guidelines for international shipping and will pressure wash engine and undercarrage thoroughly.
On Apr-03-14 at 20:04:25 PDT, seller added the following information: THERE IS NO "BUY IT NOW" FOR THIS CAR. The reserve is set at a very reasonable price however, so bid to win. |

Motor Trend holds World's Greatest Drag Race for the third time
Fri, 23 Aug 2013As part of Motor Trend's Best Driver's Car competition, the buff book has held its third iteration of the World's Greatest Drag Race. With an airfield and a dozen of the world's finest performance cars at its disposal (oh, and a helicopter), the MT team did what any good group of enthusiasts would do, and tried to figure what car could cover a quarter mile the quickest. World's greatest drag race, indeed.
The contestants, as MT points out, cover a huge variety of engine types, drivelines, aspiration types and body styles, making for a genuinely varied and interesting field of competitors. Here's the full list of cars taking part.

Five cursed and haunted cars
Fri, Oct 31 2014Any kid lucky enough to grow up in Detroit is familiar with the Henry Ford Museum. It's huge, full of shiny things and a great place to take a child and let them burn off some energy. After several field trips and weekend outings however, the dusty concept vehicles and famous aircraft tend to lose their punch for youngsters. As a fifth grader, I was already gazing on the museum's many gems with glassy eyes. On yet another school trip, we made our way to John F. Kennedy's death car, a gleaming black Lincoln limo. The aging volunteer docent told our little group something I had never heard before. "You know, this car is haunted. Several employees have reported seeing a gray presence right here," he said, pointing to the back passenger side seat. I perked up. Now here was something I had never heard before. A haunted car? Sure, it happened in Goosebumps, but this was real life. It made sense, in a way. Cars can be violent, emotional places. That's certainly the case with JFK's limo, as well as the other four cars on this list. And maybe those gut-wrenching deaths can permanently doom a car. 5. Archduke Franz Ferdinand's Graf & Stift Death Limo World War I tends to be a forgotten war, despite being pretty terrible in its own right and setting the stage for the entire 20th Century. The French forces, for instance, lost more lives in the first month of WWI than the US did in the entire Civil War. Everyone who has been through a freshman world history course knows the conflict started when Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were shot by a Bosnian anarchist. The crazy thing is, Ferdinand had already avoided an attempt on his life that day, and was actually on his way to the hospital to comfort those who had been injured in the crossfire. One of the would-be assassins simply walked out of a cafe and saw his intended target sitting in front of him where the open-air limo had stalled. The archduke and his wife were shot through their heads and throats. Their deaths would not be the last caused by the limo. Throughout the war and into the 1920s, the limo was owned by fifteen different people and involved in six accidents and thirteen deaths, not counting the 17 million or so killed in the war triggered by the Archduke's assassination. The first person to own the car after the Archduke was an Austrian general named Potiorek, who went insane while riding in the car through Vienna.
Porsche recalls new 911 models over exhaust pipe issues
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Porsche, though the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, announced a voluntary recall on about 2,200 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 models built during the 2012 and 2013 model years. On cars equipped with the standard exhaust system it was found that the tailpipes could separate from the mufflers and become dangerous road debris; models that added the optional sport exhaust system are not included in this recall.
Affected vehicles were built between March and November of last year, but there have been no reports of the problem on any customer-owned vehicles. Porsche first noticed a cracked tailpipe weld on a test vehicle back in May, and since then has found similar problems on other internally owned vehicles, all with more than 25,000 miles on the clock. To fix the problem, dealers will be replacing the mufflers. Scroll down to read the official notice.
