1971 Porsche 911E/959 Reproduction Unique lines, and raw power are the two main ingredients that make up the Porsche 959. It was the modern day Super Car of the 1980's, and to this day is still sought after by some, and dreamt of by many Porsche fanatics the world over. However, with an average price of well over a million dollars, The Porsche 959 has simply become unattainable...until now. Move over Mr. Gates, you're not the only one on the block with one of these beauties! Unlike most reproduction vehicles, this 959 captures every element of the original. No expense was spared when it came time to build this one of a kind masterpiece. The Body This reproduction was not built on some one off, or piece together frame like most others. The builder searched for the perfect canvas to build is dream on. He found that in a very solid southern California 1971 Porsche 911E. The body being one of only 1087 pieces ever built. From there the kit was purchased ($12,000) and work officially started. This would be where the real work would begin. The builder wrapped up tens of thousands of dollars, and hundreds of hours of body work to have the kit fitted and prepped for paint. Being a fanatic himself, the builder chose one of the foremost favorite colors amongst Porsche enthusiasts, Guards Red. This really made it quite the head turner! The Power-plant By far the area of expertise for this build. Most reproductions keep the standard motor that would have been present at the time of the build, but not this time. When it came time to choose the right power-plant for this build, the team knew just the right piece of Porsche engineering to propel this monster down the road. An unmolested 1975 Porsche Carerra Twin-Plug race motor with 40mm Triple Weber Carbs was just the right fit. Being one of only 1782 motors ever built this little flat six is worth over $15,000 on today’s market. (Motor #6551214) The engine just went under a rigorous fresh tune up, which included all new plugs, fully rebuilt carburetors, fresh fluids, and some timing adjustments. The sound of this engine has the ability to bring shivers down your spine. This is due to the long tube headers, and sport style exhaust. You will not find another sound as unique as this fire breathing monster! The transmission is the standard dog leg style trans that would have been original to the 1971 911E. Being that it is a 911/01 style trans. (Trans #7111264) All new shifter bushings were done, and the trans was gone through and checked out immaculately. The power from that vicious motor is transplanted to the ground through some pretty serious rubber. By using modern day Three-Piece Turbo Twist wheels wrapped in Pirelli Pzero rubber. Front (235/40-18) Rear (285/40-18) This rocket has no problem getting the power to the ground to propel this 959 down the road at break neck speeds! The Interior This area of the vehicle was done very tastefully, and represents that 1980's era perfectly with a modern twist! The inside of this 959 is white leather not matter where you're looking. The dash, door panels, all four seats, headliner, rear panels, steering wheel, shift knob, and even the emergency brake boot are all wrapped exceptionally. With the modern style white faced gauges and carbon fiber dash applique. This interior just screams style! Many of the interior features have been upgraded to their modern day counter parts. The 959 has power windows on both doors, and power seats for both driver and passenger. There are even those 70's style rear pop out windows for some extra breeze! The Perfect Package Many Porsche fanatics grew up staring at only a poster or picture of this piece of Porsche design brilliance, dreaming of the day they would own one. Well today is your chance! With over $50,000 invested in this project, you could not come close to ever building one for the this price!
With only 1231 miles since completion, why wait when you can fulfill those dreams of 959 ownership today! And not take the financial burden of owning a real one. Believe me, you will turn just as many heads, if not more with this beauty! Serious Inquiries Only: 402-496-0123 |

2015 Porsche Cayenne S
Tue, 23 Sep 2014Oh, Porsche.
Just as the dust settles over the 911 GT3's no manual gearbox kerfuffle, the Germans have gone and yanked the yummy naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V8 from the Cayenne S and replaced it with a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6. Is nothing sacred in Porscheland?
Perhaps not... but that's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, Porsche famously once said they'd never build a diesel, but when they did, it was actually rather stellar.
Alonso wants an NSX, but did Honda block him from Le Mans?
Tue, Jan 20 2015One of the biggest changes in store for the 2015 Formula One World Championship will see Fernando Alonso moving back to McLaren. That means he'll be driving under Honda power for the first time, after spending the bulk of his career driving for Renault and Ferrari. And being Honda's new poster child, as the two-time World Champion is fast discovering, has its advantages and its drawbacks. According to the latest reports, Alonso had been negotiating a clause in his contract with McLaren that could have seen him driving a Porsche 919 Hybrid at Le Mans this year, but Honda reportedly stepped in at the last minute and scuttled the plan. The drive would have been Alonso's first in the famous 24-hour race, after having had the honor of waving the flag at La Sarthe last summer. In one of the wilder rumors that emerged during the prolonged silence over his move for this season, the Spaniard was also linked to a potential return for Ferrari to Le Mans. That prospect came to naught, and now the Porsche deal has been wheeled into the garage, as well. The upcoming F1 season is expected to be one of transition, adjustment and development for McLaren and Honda, but the Japanese automaker's involvement in his hiring may not be all bad news for Alonso. Following the reveal of the new Acura NSX, Alonso tweeted "You still don't know, but one day we will be together..." followed by a series of heart-eyed smiley-face emoticons and accompanies by images of Honda's new supercar. The implication is that the two-time World Champion is expecting to get his talented hands on an NSX of his own, and we can certainly see how Honda would appreciate the imagery of Fernando driving around in its flagship. Even if it doesn't, though, we're sure McLaren would be glad to hook him up with a company car of its own – though Lewis Hamilton encountered some trouble securing (a very specific) one for himself. Even discounting the front-running F1 machinery he's been tasked with piloting on track to an impressive 32 career wins, Alonso has had some lustworthy company cars at his disposal over the years. At Renault, he had a Megane RS to drive, and during his last stint at McLaren, he had an SLR 722. But since signing with Ferrari, he's been given the keys to FCA models as varied as a Ferrari FF, a special 599 GTO, a Maserati GranCabrio, a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT and an Abarth 695... and those are just the ones we know about.
