1972 Porsche 911T Sephia

It is a complete un-molested car with the necessary repair and refinishing to bring it back to its original state. This is a rare chance to own a car that has the majority of its original parts intact in exceptional condition.
The following work has been completed:
Engine top end rebuild:
-Cylinder heads rebuilt by competition engineering
-Mechanical fuel injection pump and injectors by Gus at Pacific fuel injection (National MFI Expert)
-New pistons and cylinders
-All exterior engine and fuel injection hardware restored
-Replacement of timing chains and various engine accessories
-Cleaning and restoration of oil tank
-New hoses and fuel lines
-Gas tank cleaned
Brakes and Suspension:
-All parts removed and bead blasted, then painted black or plated in their original color
-Calipers rebuilt, rotors turned, new wheel bearings installed
-New Bilstein sport shocks all around
-New tires
-Drives as it should and feels like a low milage car
Exterior:
-The car has had one high-quality windows-out respray, perfectly matching the original Sephia Brown.
-Front fenders were replaced with new Porsche factory replacement parts.
-The rest of the chassis required only minor repair in 3 areas; details available on request.
-ORIGINAL floors, doors, 1/4 panels, rockers, front gas tank support, and battery boxes (see the pictures in the Flikr link).
-I refinished the exterior of the car to factory appearance. I did not paint the bottom of the hood, engine lid, or inside of doors. (See the pictures.)
-I did not paint the undersides 1.) because they are very good, and 2.) to showcase the amazing original condition of this car.
Interior:
-The complete interior is original - dash, seats, headliner, carpet, door coverings.
-Only cleaning there, folks. It's completely ORIGINAL except the 8-track player. Dash pad is un-cracked. All of the original upholstery is intact and present. All gauges and the clock work. It is amazing to find a car with an original interior in this good of condition.
-Damage as follows: sun fading of rear seat back carpet, one crack in the driver's seat side, one hole in the driver's seat by the seat belt. (Small stuff.)
-Some would say "good patina".

Porsche resurrects V8-powered 911 prototype from the Eighties
Wed, 14 May 2014These days, we take it for granted that the Porsche 911 uses a flat-six engine. That's because every version of the iconic rear-engined sports car has had one. Right? Well, for the most part. There was the 912 that joined the original in the late Sixties with a flat-four. And in the mid-Eighties, Porsche toyed around with the idea of a V8-powered 911.
After the first-generation 911 had been in production for over two decades, Porsche began development of its successor, the 964, in the 1980s. And one of its ideas was to use a V8 engine. So it took a 964, borrowed a V8 from Audi, gave it the rear bodywork from a 959 and dubbed it the 965.
The idea was to create a more affordable successor to the 959 that included its advanced all-wheel drive system and active suspension. The Audi V8 would have been replaced with one of Porsche's own design - possibly based on the it had built for Indy racing - but Dr. Ulrich Bez (who was then head of Porsche R&D long before taking the reins at Aston Martin) ultimately killed the project.
2013 Porsche 911 RSR makes official debut
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Porsche is ready to go racing in 2013, showing off a new 911 RSR today that is scheduled to compete in several endurance events this year. Based on the current 991 911, the new RSR will compete in the 2013 season of the World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It will not, however, make an appearance in a North American racing series this year.
The 2013 version of the racecar has increased in wheelbase by some four inches, features a new wishbone front suspension in place of the last-generation's McPherson strut setup and boasts a new, lightweight six-speed racing gearbox. The engine, meanwhile, is an "optimized" version of last year's car, a 460-horsepower 4.0-liter boxer six-cylinder. Extensive use of carbon fiber and polycarbonate windows help the RSR shed weight, and Porsche has also balanced the weight more evenly with a lower center of gravity.
Porsche has thoughtfully dedicated some space to celebrate the 911's 50th Anniversary, with the number 50 clearly visible in the top-down view of the RSR, as well as along the doors. Scroll down to read the full Porsche press release, below.
Ferrari return to Le Mans looking more likely?
Wed, 18 Dec 2013Statements made by Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo may indicate that the Italian brand could return to a form of racing it's been absent from for 40 years - prototype racing. That's right, LMP1 could see a factory Ferrari team for the first time since 1973, if a report from ESPN F1 is to be believed.
"We have won with the 458 GTE, but I also quite like the idea of racing at Le Mans in the highest category: who knows, maybe one day we can return and win, say thanks and come home," Montezemolo said. "Maybe we should give it some consideration..."
These seemingly idle, off-hand comments might not hold much water, were rumors about Ferrari's return to prototype racing not swirling as recently as August. There's also the fact that the upcoming, 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6 being used for Formula One complies with the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's own LMP1 regulations, according to ESPN. Finally, Ferrari returning to Le Mans might also explain this video of a camouflaged Ferrari LaFerrari testing a new turbocharged engine, which we showed you a few weeks back. There's a fair chance that what we're actually seeing in that video are the early stages of a new Ferrari prototype testing.
