Offered for your consideration is a 1971 PORSCHE 911E (2.2 liter) with 86,000 original miles. It is a matching
numbers car and has been in the same ownership for the last 20 years. As you can see in pictures, it has been
driven, but it has been well taken care of. The same mechanic has been repairing it for the last 7 years or so. It
has the rare but infamous Sportomatic transmission that is a clutch-less manual; rare because most cars have been
converted to a manual transmission for ease of maintenance. It also has the sweet running original fuel injected
engine. The car is not currently running due to transmission issues.
I am selling this for my friend's widow. He was hell bent on keeping his car original and was sourcing all the
parts needed to rebuild the transmission when he suddenly passed away. The engine and transmission is currently off
the car; everything is stored at the Porsche repair shop. We are selling it as-is. I can arrange to view the car
with an appointment.
Pros:
Matching numbers car.
It has the original unmolested, unopened (as far as we know) engine which is becoming a rarity in the classic
Porsche market and the mechanical fuel injection is original and fully functional.
Car is one of the few unmolested long hood Porsches left with the original Sportomatic transmission. Quirky or
not, It has a decent fiberglass RSR wide body conversion along with a whale tail and it is RED!!
The interior is upgraded to a late model 911 including seats with much better ergonomics. It is again red.
Momo sprot steering wheel.
Car is never crashed or damaged and we have a clear title in hand (title transferred in 2016 in widow’s name)
Good brakes and all other ancillaries according to the mechanic who worked on this car for the last few years.
Service records are available for the last 20 years or so.
Overall a very good candidate to put back together and restore to original given the skyrocketing appreciation
long hoods are enjoying in the recent past.
It has the factory sunroof and all glass is in good shape too.
Did I mention it is RED inside and out??!!!
Cons:
The transmission had an issue where it would only shift between first and second gears; it would not shift to
third or fourth. However the car ran on 1 and 2 gears when taken apart a year ago. The issue is with the pneumatic
actuator according to the mechanic. There are quite a few rebuilt pneumatic actuators on ebay as we speak but
procuring one has been a problem at one time. The other option again will be to convert it into a 901 5-speed
manual which is what most people did to these cars anyway. In any case, it makes sense to save the original
transmission. Given the desirability of these cars, the day will come when people will be scrambling to find one
and that is when the Sportomatic should be installed back.
The motor has developed the dreaded 8th main oil leakage from behind the crank pulley for the last couple of
years and it has been fixed reasonably well with the aluminum sleeve solution. It still seeps and need a quart of
oil every few thousand miles.
The fiberglass body kit is professionally installed but an original matching numbers car like this would have
been much more valuable if it had the original steel body and bumpers. To those who know 911s, it is a relatively
easy conversion back should you procure the bumpers and fenders. Bolt on for the most parts.
Once again the leather interior is from a newer Porsche and is not original to this car. I was told that the
original parts are saved somewhere, but since we cannot find them, it is not included in sale.

Lexus leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2021
Thu, Feb 18 2021J.D. Power's latest Vehicle Dependability Study is out, and, not surprisingly, Lexus sits at the top for the ninth time in the last 10 years. Right behind Lexus is Porsche, followed by Kia, which is the highest-ranked mass-market brand in the study. Genesis, last year's top-ranked brand (in its first year included in the results), fell from first to eighth, though the G80 sedan did earn an award in its midsize luxury segment. The Porsche 911 was called out as the Most Dependable Model by J.D. Power for the second time in the last three years. The vehicles being studied are from the 2018 model year, which means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's notable that this year's study shows a marked improvement in overall vehicle dependability as tracked by J.D. Power. The overall level of problems, scored by the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), declined by 10% compared to last year. "The study results validate what we have known for some time," said Dave Sargent, vice president of global automotive at J.D. Power. "Automakers are making increasingly dependable vehicles — but there are still some problem areas that need to be addressed and some warning signs on the horizon." Tesla makes its inaugural appearance on the Dependability Study, though its score of 176 PP100 isn't official. Tesla is the only automaker that has chosen not to grant J.D. Power permission to survey its owners in all 50 states. As we've pointed out in the past, the Vehicle Dependability Study includes eight major vehicle categories grouped by J.D. Power as follows: audio/communication/entertainment/navigation (ACEN); engine/transmission; exterior; interior; features/controls/displays (FCD); driving experience; heating, ventilation and air conditioning; and seats. All issues reported by owners are all tracked equally, which means a problematic phone pairing procedure dings an automaker's rating the same as a blown engine or transmission. And in fact, the ACEN category has more reported problems than any other, which means the majority of problems reported don't lead to a vehicle that leaves its owner stranded.

Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911 with some excellent pics
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The Porsche 911 is one of the most iconic sports cars of all time, and to celebrate the car's first 50 years, Porsche has released a stunning set of photos showing how far the 911 has come from the original back in 1963 to its current 991 generation. Unlike the recent 60-year photo spread that Chevrolet put together for the Corvette, though, Porsche's gallery only shows the original 911 and the current car.
Each time the 911 is redesigned, the car's front fenders, roofline and the shape of the side windows are key focal points. Even some of the interior cues have remained the same over the years, including the positioning of the ignition key on the left of the steering column and the five-gauge instrument cluster layout.
Scroll down for Porsche's press release breaking down the seven generations of the 911, and be sure to check out our gallery with plenty of high-res pics for you to download as a desktop wallpaper. In fact, we're providing these at 1920-pixels-wide instead of our usual 1280 wide. Enjoy!
