This is a beautiful running and driving ’75 US spec Carrera. It is not a concours trailer queen, but instead is a great near-original. Approximately 400 of these cars were made for the US market for the 1975 model year. It appears to have been pampered all its life, with no evidence of accident damage or rust issues. We have ownership and service history back to 1975, as well as the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. Original jack, tools, owners manual, and keys are still with the car.

Equipment on this car includes leather sport seats, air conditioning, and factory electric sunroof. The car has just received a major engine out service by Perfect Power (details below), one of the leading independent Porsche shops in the midwest. The photos really don’t do the car justice. It also drives as tight and solid as you’d expect of a well-kept 911.

The car can be driven and enjoyed as is, with no need to be cosmetically restored. All factory ID tags are present. The mileage on the odometer is miles over 100,000; but you’d never know it to look at it. As r.o.w. Carrera prices have risen to over $300,000 in some cases, these US cars have also increased in collectability and value. You’d be hard pressed to find a more original, more well-kept example.

BODY: The car has been a California and Colorado car most of its life, with very limited use in Illinois ( approx. 1,500 miles) in the last few years. It shows no evidence of rust repair ever. Floors and trunk are excellent both inside and underneath. There is even a considerable amount of the factory cosmoline on the underside. The panel gaps are tight and flush. The body has had one very nice repaint some time in the past. There are some chips from normal use. Body rubber trim and weatherstrips are also in very good shape. This car gets a lot of attention and compliments.

INTERIOR: Everything is original Porsche as far as I can tell. Very good to excellent carpets, door panels, dash, dash top, headliner and original steering wheel. Seat leather is excellent for its age, supple, with good color, and no rips or tears of any significance.

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN: Engine was rebuilt about 37,000 miles ago. Just completed a fresh engine out service, with reseal of engine and trans. Valves were adjusted at this time. New plug wires, many gaskets and seals replaced as needed. Clutch assembly was replaced, synchros inspected, and transmission case resealed during this service. Receipts are available

STEERING AND SUSPENSION: Aligned and corner weighted about 1,500 miles ago. Everything tight and operating as it should. Steering is typically smooth and light with no excess play. The car rides and handles very well.

BRAKES: System inspected. Everything is in proper working order. Plenty of pad life left.

ELECTRICAL and INSTRUMENTS. A/C blows cold, and has been updated to 134a refrigerant. Charging system working properly. All lights, instruments, sunroof, Blaupunkt cassette radio, windows, horn and fan in proper working order. Even the seat belt buzzer and warning light are working.

WHEELS and TIRES: Bridgestone Potenza 195/65 and 215/60 x 15 tires with about 1,500 miles of use. Original Fuchs 15x7 and 15x8’’ wheels show some wear and tear from normal use, and rims appear to have their original dual anodized finish.

GENERAL: Remember, this is a 39 year old used car and is being sold as-is, with any existing faults, whether known or unknown. There is no warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied. I have been a licensed dealer in Illinois for over 30 years. The above description is accurate, to the best of my knowledge, but I encourage your inspection BEFORE bidding.

Muffler Man gets racing suit to mark progress on Porsche Experience Center

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

In a dramatic change of careers, a fiberglass Muffler Man statue on the side of a busy Los Angeles freeway, formerly known as "Golf Guy," traded in his clubs for a Porsche driver's suit a couple days ago. It's no coincidence, as he's standing on land that the German automaker bought from the Dominguez Hills Golf Course a couple years ago to build its west coast Porsche Experience Center - which will be complete with a test track, restoration and maintenance facilities, a cafe and restaurant, a home for Porsche Motorsports North America and more, when it's finished in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The Porsche Muffler Man will serve as the gatekeeper to the 53-acre center and overlook the test track on the side of the 405 freeway. We can't think of a better job for a fiberglass giant that used to watch golf all day than to watch Porsche road cars and racecars getting wrung out on a test track in the middle of LA. Since Muffler Men are quite adaptable, we're sure this one will fit into his new role in no time - just as easily as he can double as Paul Bunyan.
Check out the press release below for more information on the Muffler Man and the experience center, which could be the ultimate adult playground when it's finished.

2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray vs the world: How it compares on paper

Mon, Jul 22 2019

The 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray in its base form offers an astonishing amount of performance for the money. In fact, so impressive is the car's spec sheet that the Corvette kind of exists in two different competitive sets: one of cars priced similarly, and another with cars of similar performance and reputation. To get a feel for how it handles each of these segments, we've compiled specifications for those two sets of players. You can find the first set below, which looks at cars of roughly the same price point. Following that is a bit of analysis, and then there's a chart of cars with similar performance and reputation. And that chart will also have some analysis. Though final pricing for the Corvette hasn't been announced yet, we know the Corvette will start at less than $60,000. And as far as pricing goes, its closest competitor is the Porsche 718 Cayman, which also starts at just under $60,000. Both are mid-engined and rear-drive, but the Corvette offers an extra 195 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. The Cayman does boast a curb weight of right around 3,000 pounds, so it weighs a few hundred pounds less than the Corvette, but it's likely not enough to make up for the power deficit. The Corvette's sub-3.0-second 0-60 time bears this out against the Cayman's best 4.5-second run. Impressively, though, the Cayman has more cargo space than the Corvette in a package that's nearly 10 inches shorter. The Cayman also still offers a manual option for those that prefer self-shifting. The 2020 Toyota Supra is on the cheap end of this sports car class, just crossing $50,000. It also boasts more power than the Cayman, though it's still down by 160 ponies and 105 pound-feet of torque to the C8. It's also about as roomy as the Corvette, despite being about the same size as the Cayman. Cargo space is a bit tighter. Its driving characteristics will likely differ, too as the Supra sits on a front-engine platform. It might even feel closer to a C7 Corvette in some ways. The other mid-engine entry in this price range is the 2019 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. Its small 1.7-liter turbo inline-4 only makes 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but it's also far and away the lightest of this group at 2,487 pounds. That's roughly 1,000 pounds lighter than the Corvette. It isn't as fast as the Corvette in a straight line, but that lightness surely pays dividends in cornering and braking.

2015 Porsche 911 GTS widens your rear-engined choices

Fri, Nov 21 2014

"Porsche needs to offer more versions of the 911" is not a phrase you'll hear uttered often. Not with 15 versions already in the catalog. But with the opening of this year's LA Auto Show, Porsche has introduced four more to bring the total up to nineteen variants. And more are no doubt on the way. What you're looking at is the new Porsche 911 GTS, which has grown from one model in the previous generation to four. Buyers will be able to choose between rear- or all-wheel drive and between coupe and cabriolet body-styles, but either way they'll be looking at a 3.8-liter flat six with 430 horsepower. That slots it in between the base Carrera and the GT3, but unlike the hardcore latter, it can be had with choice of manual or dual-clutch transmission – bringing the available configurations of 911 GTS up to eight. Spec the DCT and you'll be reaching 60 in as little as 3.8 seconds, but the pleasure won't come cheap: prices range from $114,200 for the rear-drive coupe to $132,800 for the all-wheel-drive cabrio, plus another $995 for delivery. But for that much scratch you also get the Powerkit, Sport Chrono package, wider track, lower suspension, Xenon headlamps, Alcantara trim, 20-inch alloys and more all thrown in as standard.
