1976 Porsche 911S Targa 93,000 original miles!
This absolutely beautiful 40-year old 911S was sold to the original Northern California owner on December of 1975.
He had the car for about 10 years before selling it to a neighbor who would go on to use it as a weekend cruiser
for the next 30 years. This Porsche has spent its entire 40 year life in the California foothills. It has always
been garaged in between use, is totally rust free and has been driven only 93,000 miles since new! A rare find
indeed! Our home recently sold on Labor Day (September 7th) and we are moving to our beach house back east on Cape
Cod for the next year or two. I can’t take it with me because we have no garage there, and I don’t want to
store it here in California because of all the associated “non-use” issues that go along with not starting a
car for such a long period of time. Please note that I am not a mechanic, body shop owner, or car dealer, nor am I a
self-professed Porsche guru. I am simply a gentleman that has been fortunate enough to have owned several Porsches
over the past 40 years. In my humble opinion, this is a really nice one and given its present condition should
bring the new owner a lot of joy and compliments from envious onlookers for many years to come.
Mechanical Condition:
Excellent! Runs and drives like new! Driven only 93,000 miles in the past 40 years and feels like it should. The
engine is super strong, the 5-speed transmission shifts perfectly (even when cold), the brakes are awesome, and all
the lights, wipers, gauges, etc. work perfectly – even the horn and clock work! In addition, it has been updated
with the pop-off valve and the expensive Carrera tensioners. The compression is 130-135 in all 6 cylinders. Just
changed all the fluids (engine/transmission) and had the car smogged last week. It passed with flying colors, even
with all the factory smog equipment present and accounted for!
Exterior Condition:
This 911S looks absolutely beautiful from just 5 feet away! The very rare “Desert Beige” color is stunning
especially with the chrome package (roll bar, window trim, wing window skurrounds, headlight bezels, and door
handles). However, upon closer scrutiny, one will find that the 20-year old paint job is starting to show its age
(i.e., some touched up nicks, chips, door dings, etc….) In other words, it looks really nice like it does in the
pictures, unless you’re within a couple of feet of it. It has excellent door and hood gaps, and comes with the
original Fuchs alloy wheels and like new tires.
Interior Condition:
Excellent throughout! The only real flaw is a 6” crack in the otherwise excellent dashboard. Targa top is in
great shape as well. Front and rear seats, carpet, door panels, etc., are all in outstanding condition. This 911S
is AC and PW delete (the lightweight model as some people like to call it).
Also included in the sale of my 1976 911S are the original owner’s manual, 70’s ski rack, jack, tool kit
(partial), bra and spare tire.
This Porsche has been lovingly maintained and to the best of my knowledge needs nothing more to be used as a
reliable every day car, or just a really fun weekend driver. If I were keeping it I can’t think of anything I
would do to make it any better.

2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

I don't care who you are; when a new Porsche 911 rolls up in your driveway, that's a pretty good day. This was my very first experience with Porsche's 991 911, and after having spent time with just about every tune and trim of the last car, I was hotly anticipating comparing and contrasting.
Somehow (I don't remember sending out any cash-filled, unmarked envelopes) I'd scored a week in the 911 Carrera 4S over a long holiday weekend, too. That meant that I'd get to A) log a ton of miles in one of the best cars in the world, B) get to show-off the Porsche to family and friends and C) tempt cops in three states to pull me over. Good thing I've got the Autoblog traffic lawyer on speed dial...

Your guide to vehicle subscription services

Mon, Oct 1 2018

They might be extremely limited in scope because of location availability, but vehicle subscription services are a growing trend that most luxury manufacturers are jumping on. Plans are expensive, but you're paying for much more than just the car typically. We highlighted four of the larger plans with a few more listed at the end. Care by Volvo Volvo launched its subscription service last year with its brand-new XC40. It was the only vehicle available for a time, but subscribers can now get an S60 sedan as well. Subscriptions are for two years, with the monthly price including insurance, a concierge service, wear-and-tear item replacements and all maintenance. You'll be able to drive 15,000 miles per year with whichever Volvo you choose, and although there are no options to extend that mileage, you can swap cars after a year. Pricing for the XC40 is $650 per month in base trim, while an S60 can be as expensive as $850 for the R-Design. Volvo's plan is to offer more cars soon through the service, but it's relatively limited compared to others right now. Porsche Passport Porsche has two levels in its subscription service: Launch and Accelerate. Launch will cost $2,000 per month and give you access to the Cayman, Boxster, Macan and Cayenne. All of those but the Cayenne can be had in "S" trim as well. Accelerate is where the fun really starts. For $3,000 per month you can choose from a fleet of 911s, including the S, 4S, Cabriolet and Cabriolet S. If those aren't enough, you can also get the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS and Cayenne S. There are no mileage limits and you can change vehicles as often as you'd like. Also included in the price is insurance, repairs, detailing and any maintenance. It might be extremely expensive and limited to Atlanta only, but this subscription service is second-to-none for what you get. Audi Select Audi just launched its subscription car service, and it's offered in one version for a flat fee of $1,395 per month. For that you'll have access to five different cars including the A4, S5 Coupe, A5 Cabriolet, Q5, and Q7. Not a bad range of vehicles, but it would've been neat to see the recently updated A7 in there too. Maybe in time. Like the others, insurance and maintenance are wrapped up in the price. Audi is allowing for unlimited miles and two car swaps per month here. In addition to that, you'll get two days of free rentals through Audi's Silvercar rental agency should you go on a trip.

Porsche Exclusive showcases custom-order 911 Turbo Cabrio

Sun, 06 Apr 2014

Porsche is one of the most profitable automakers in the business. In fact, it's said to make about $23,000 on each car it sells, thanks in no small part to an options list that can send the sticker price accelerating quicker than one of its own sports cars. But there are always those for whom even the extensive option list won't be enough, and for just such customers, there is Porsche Exclusive.
The division in Zuffenhausen is tasked with creating even more individualized examples of Porsche vehicles, and it recently did up this 911 Turbo Cabriolet - which, at $160,700, is already one of the most expensive Porsches you can order this side of a 918 Spyder: more than any Boxster, Cayman, Macan or Cayenne, any Panamera other than a Turbo S or Executive - not to mention any other 911 short of a Turbo S.
This particular demo vehicle features a Slate Grey paint job and red interior decked out in more leather than an S&M dungeon - which, come to think of it, would probably be less financially painful than ordering up this car from Porsche Exclusive.
