I am downsizing my collection of Porsches.
A 1975 Porsche Carrera Coupe that sold for $ 109.000-
My asking price is $ 69.911- !!!!
The history and development of the Porsche Carrera RS is very well documented,
and needs no further explanation as to the evolution of the early G series, US Carrera Model.
This 1975 Carrera Coupe follows in the wake of it’s illustrious predecessor, the 1973 Carrera RS.
This is an original un-molested car, right down to it's original US specification ride height!
The Certificate of Authenticity on hand for this car, shows this to be # 151 of the 395 made for the US market.
The Guards (India) Red/G8 and Black Leatherette/16 colour combination suit this Porsche perfectly,
and is complemented by the fabulous Factory Recaro Sport Seats, Electric Sunroof and Power Windows.
This car stands out as it has the very rare options of the full RS front oil cooler and front RS/Carrera Turbo
alloy brake calipers.
The rear whale tail spoiler, unique to this model, is also found on the early Carrera Turbos.
With 97k original miles, it was time to have it refreshed sympathetically.
The car had a full windows out repaint in it’s original Guards Red colour.
The car was delivered to it's original owner, in Arizona, before I brought it into California, so the car is dry
and rust free,
and no rust repairs were needed.
I had the seats re-upholstered, and new carpets installed by my Concourse Award Winning upholsterer.
The original Factory dash is in remarkably fine uncracked original condition.
Mechanically the car is well dialed in, and performs flawlessly.
The original engine, known to be volatile by nature, was replaced early in the car’s life with a blank cased 7R
Factory Replacement engine of the correct year and type.
Upon inspection this engine has been overhauled with inserts, and includes the updated Carrera hydraulic
tensioners.
At the same time, the problem causing thermal reactors were removed and a new sports exhaust system installed.
No smog is required for CA.
The private plate does not accompany the car.
This Porsche offered and described here is an honest example of a really nice and well sorted 1975 US Carrera.
It is ready to be used and enjoyed, as is, without further expense.
A delight to drive, all the controls work perfectly, clutch is smooth and gentle, the engine strong and powerful.
This car is eminently suitable and is eligible to enter many of the Classic Rallys and Tours that are currently
available, and gaining in popularity.
I consider this to be a wonderful driver quality Porsche, and it is capable of winning it’s class at any
Regional Porsche Club of America Concourse.
The car is titled, licensed and registered in my name, and comes with fresh registration for a year, and is insured
with Hagerty.

Exclusive: The first Porsche 911 Targa restored by Singer

Wed, Jun 24 2015

We love Singer. Frankly, if you're a Porsche guy, or just a car guy, and have seen any of the Porsche 911s that have been restored and "reimagined" by the Californian company, you probably do too. So you can imagine our excitement in getting an exclusive first full look at the latest Porsche 911 restored by Singer. The car you seen in the photographs above is a special thing beyond the obsessive Singer restoration treatment. It's the first Targa the company has ever restored. Plus, this car is one of the first with a modified 4.0-liter flat-six, making around 390 horsepower and 315 pound-feet of torque. With a body clad mostly in carbon fiber, the ultra-lightweight Targa is as modern under the skin as it is retro to the casual observer. The liquid-pewter beauty makes its debutant turn tomorrow at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. We sat down with Singer founder, Rob Dickinson, to pick his brain about the new Targa, where his love of Porsches started, and about the punk-rock car company he's building in SoCal. Autoblog: Tell us a little bit about the car. It's a 911 Targa, obviously, but tell us about what's special beyond that. Rob Dickinson: This is the first time one of our clients has requested that we restore his Targa rather than his coupe and so we did. We always had hopes that we could get our fingers on a Targa and it's the first of a few that are coming down the line now, such that you'll see the second one at Pebble Beach in August. It's basically a faithful rendition of the work that we do on the coupes. The Targa presents us with new challenges, but also an opportunity to add our jewelry to the car. Obviously, that iconic Targa hoop – that was rendered in stainless steel on the original 911s in '65 – we now render that in nickel, which is I guess part of our calling card, our signature. All the brightwork we do on the coupes is in nickel and we're following that principle with the Targas as well. Just for the sake of injecting a little bit of uniqueness into the Targa hoop, we render it with two cool, air-filtering louvers, rather than three, which the early 911 had. Which we thought was a cute little touch that is somewhat different from the early 911s and very different from the later 964, which didn't have any louvers in it at all. AB: That's Porsche nerdiness in the extreme. In a good way. RD: Thank you, yeah. It's one of those things that won't be noticed by many but will be noticed by a few, and that's an insider's thing.

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.

Porsche offering 250-hp 718 Cayman, Boxster in China

Tue, Aug 9 2016

Porsche is studying a new approach in the lucrative Chinese market – less power. Automotive News Europe reports that the famed German manufacturer will sell less powerful versions of the 718 Cayman and Boxster in the People's Republic. In fact, the new cars are already on Porsche's Chinese consumer page. The hope, 718 chief Jan Roth told Automotive News Europe, is to replicate the success Porsche's sister company Audi has had with the TT. "A lot of the TTs that Audi sells in China, the smaller displacement 1.8-liter versions with rear-wheel instead of all-wheel-drive, are priced below that, Mercedes too," Roth said. We're guessing the comments about rear-wheel drive and a 1.8-liter engine are either typos or something was lost in translation, because Audi's Chinese website only lists a 2.0-liter engine, and most gearheads know the TT rides on a front-drive platform. Audi's success is largely down to price – 542,800 yuan ($81,549, at today's rates) for a base TT. Roth called 600,000 yuan "a magical threshold for customers in China." To hit that price point, Porsche is dropping the 718's 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder – offered North America and Europe with 300 horsepower in base form – to 250 ponies. The Cayman starts at 588,000 yuan ($88,340) while the Boxster is 598,000 yuan ($89,842). The 350-hp Cayman S will carry on unchanged. According to ANE, Roth said Porsche's Chinese strategy could drive 718 sales up to 4,500 units a year by 2017, nearly double the 2,500 Boxsters and Caymans sold in 2015. Could a similar lower-tiered strategy work in the US? We'll need to put on our speculation hats. In the US, the base car is about 81 percent of the price of the 350-horsepower S model. If Porsche were to offer the same discount for the hypothetical, 250-hp 718s, it could set the starting prices at $43,659 for the Cayman and $45,360 for the Boxster. That lines up neatly with the $43,500 TT Coupe, but this theoretical 250-hp Boxster would fall about $1,640 less than Audi's soft top. We shouldn't forget Porsche's expansive options catalog – we doubt there'd be a lot of sub-$50,000 718s on dealer lots. But still, slashing over $10,000 off the price of a $54,000 car is a big ask – Porsche would almost have to de-content such a lower-tier model. But – and this is a Kim K-sized but – moving the 718 downmarket would open the brand to a new range of consumers. Not only would these new cars be the cheapest sportscars from Porsche money could buy.
