differential, small battery, smaller & wider wheels/tires, Bilstein Suspension, no fog-lights, spoilers…
· Absolutely gorgeous mocha-brown (mocha-black – called one or the other in sales documentation, color
chart and certificate of authenticity, but mocha-brown and mocha-black were the identical colors with the same
paint code, just two names for the same color depending on brochure, country and documentation) with cork sport
seat interior with tartan dress inserts
· Original per Certificate of Authenticity
· Refreshed/resealed original, matching number 3.0 liter engine (930/04).
You are buying a very original, custom ordered, light weight 1978 911SC. This car was ordered as a lightweight, it
only has one (driver’s side) rear view mirror, no sunroof, no air conditioning, no fog-lights, manual sport
seats, limited slip differential, Bilstein shocks/ suspension, limited slip differential, short 15” wider wheels
and tires (7 & 8 x 15 instead of 6 & 7 x 16 with 205-50-15 & 225-50-15 tires instead of the regular taller wheels
for faster acceleration.) Further, the car has a short shifter installed. This car drives like a go-cart!
The car just underwent a major refresh. It was all original, has never been in any accident, as you can see by its
condition such as the interior it has lived a very gentle life. The front bumper, hood and the single driver’s
side mirror had a lot of stone-chips. Further, somebody had put body side moldings along each side in the middle of
the doors that looked ridiculous – it kept the doors dent-free. When we removed the non-original door moldings,
some of the paint lifted with them, we decided to repaint some of the car. Further, the car had the not so nice
factory all rubber whale-tail (it will come with the car), and we decided to treat this car with a reproduction
early 930/911SC-Weissach deck-lid with a factory rubber lip. The roof of the car, as well as the rear bumper and
valance are original paint. We decided to carefully sand down the rest of the car and refinish it in its original
and ultra-rare mocha brown/mocha black color and the car looks stunning! The paint meter shows that the car is
almost the same thickness as a new car, some areas slightly thicker. As you can see, the car has been updated with
European H4 headlights and European tail-light lenses, all in excellent shape.
The car was running very well, but when we wanted to give it a tune-up and valve adjustment we found two broken
lower Dilavar head-studs. As a result, we disassembled the engine (930/04 - early large port 3.0 US version),
replaced all Dilavar head-studs with updated steel ones, put in new rings – this car features Mahle pistons and
cylinders which are in outstanding condition, the guides in the cylinder heads were like brand new and had been
replaced many years, but less than 10,000 miles ago, so we put in new Wrightwood Racing valve stem seals and left
the guides alone. Further, the clutch has been updated with the all spring sport type without the problematic
rubber center; pressure fed chain tensioners were installed, a pop-off valve was installed, plus all regular
maintenance items such as new injector seals, intake runner bellows, new thermostat and breather seals, new spark
plugs, original new spark plug wires, cap, rotor, new air/heater hoses etc. Of course the valves are freshly
adjusted. The car features its original small 228mm (906 and 78/79 only 911SC) fan and fan housing – the original
housing one had a crack (very common from previous, incorrect alternator service/replacement) and we sourced an
excellent original replacement; the fan blades are perfect without any chips. We use silicon valve cover and sump
gaskets. As the photos show the original exhaust is in excellent condition. We also checked the gas-tank, it is in
excellent, original condition with no internal corrosion what-so-ever, as is commonly found these days as a result
of the ethanol containing fuels.
The power robbing pollution air pump had been nicely removed, and it comes with the car complete with the air
injectors, manifold, bracket and pulley if you ever want to make the car 100% original.
All windows are nice, clear and free of scratches or chips, the headliner is in stunning condition without any
tears or discoloration, even the dash and sun-visors are excellent, so is the plaid/cork interior, and cork
interiors with plaid dress inserts per certificate of authenticity are ultra-rare and are very, very 70s and
gorgeous! This car even features its original radio (with the operation manual in the glove-box), and amazingly
features the original door speakers with the ultra-hard to find original door speaker covers in outstanding
condition. It is almost impossible to find a 38 year old car this original and well maintained. Even the tool-kit
and original emergency air compressor are still there as shown; even the original bag that used to contain a pair
of gloves for a tire change and or course the owner and maintenance manual are there complete in their original
pouch.
We even found a fresh set of tires for the car, almost impossible to find in this original 205-50-VR15 & 225-50VR15
size and configuration, especially the rear tires. Also, the brakes are freshly serviced with new front rotors and
pads.
To keep the engine running cool, the car is equipped with a Terbatrol front oil cooler system (in the right front
fender), these were extremely efficient with much better heat dissipation than the original loop coolers or the
multi-tube coolers had. Also, a nice, small hole was cut into the front valance panel to channel more cooling air
into the oil-cooler, a desirable update. Even the original, factory, super loud red fanfare trumpet horns are still
functioning and in the car.
This car is an excellent investment opportunity and can be enjoyed, it is an excellent driver.

Porsche 959 Prototype started it all
Wed, 11 Sep 2013While Porsche was unveiling the new Nürburgring-dominating 918 Spyder downstairs in Hall 3 here at the Frankfurt Messe, there was another Porsche supercar quietly and discretely on display upstairs in the same hall. That, of course, was the 959. But not just any 959: this was the original Gruppe B prototype.
The 959 was first developed as a rally car in the early 80s to compete with the likes of the original Audi Sport Quattro S1, Ford RS200 and Lancia Delta S4. But Zuffenhausen soon saw its potential as a production road-going supercar, emerging as a technological marvel to challenge the decidedly linear approach of the Ferrari F40. It still stands as a groundbreaking supercar in its own right, but also lead to the first all-wheel-drive 911 Turbo and set the stage for the Carrera GT and aforementioned 918 Spyder that followed to cap the top of the evolving Porsche range.
This original Gruppe B prototype, which presaged the production 959, packed a 450-horsepower 2.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six into an even sleeker form than the final version that followed. We caught up with it on display as part of a display of 80s German classics, of which this 959 prototype immediately stood out as the pick of the proverbial litter. Check out the hotness in the high-resolution image gallery above.
What's the deal with comedians and their cars?
Mon, May 22 2017'Round about the time in his life when it should happen for all of us, Jerry Seinfeld's ship came in with a force that almost split the dock. He'd been doing pretty well with his observational style ("There's a cereal now that's just cookies. Have you seen this? Cookies for breakfast. It's called Cookie Crisp. Cookies for breakfast! They oughta just call it 'To Hell With Everything!'"). But he showed no signs of setting the world on fire until he got cast in a show that was either about – depending on the level of comedy geek you ask – the average New Yorker, the very worst people in the world, or nothing. Suddenly Jerry Seinfeld was pretty much the center of the comedy universe. And while his comedy was at once both brilliantly innovative and rooted in the mundane, his next move was a predictable grab at something exotic – he went out and bought his dream car. A rather nice 911, actually. As almost everyone knows, it didn't stop there, and the man put together one of the most enviable collections of iconic Porsches we're likely to see. So what's the connection, if there is one, between cars and comedy? As far as Jerry Seinfeld (the man) is concerned, he's probably not the same guy as the Jerry on Seinfeld (the show) although it's hard to say for sure; his public persona is almost unnervingly well managed. But cars and comedy were the constants in his life then, and, well, just look at what the guy does now; Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is a cultural constant, and we're certainly seeing Seinfeld the man in that one, and cars are obviously still central to his life. And it's been that way with a lot of very, very good comedy guys. Cars seem to round out their lives, to become the yin to their comedy yang. Ernie Kovacs might not have invented visual gags or surreal humor, but he got them both to kill on television in the 1950s, so he's a comedy hero. He died behind the wheel of his beloved Corvair wagon, so he's absolutely some kind of car-guy hero as well. Bill Cosby, the hottest name in comedy for a good long while, had Ferraris, one of two fire-breathing supercharged big-block Cobras (pictured below), and a BMW 2002tii – none of which either contributed to or in any way make up for the profoundly sociopathic creature he turned out to be, but it's still a data point. The Smothers Brothers, who defied the networks and the norms by getting blatantly political before that sort of thing was cool, went sports car racing.
Porsche Cayenne spied unconstrained by camouflage
Thu, 05 Jun 2014Meet the facelifted Porsche Cayenne. Our eagle-eyed spy shooters captured this example of Porsche's freshened SUV virtually devoid of camo, giving us our clearest look yet at what the eventual mid-cycle work will do to the strong-selling Cayenne.
The overall changes do, indeed, look minor, with a reprofiled intake being the most obvious item. The headlights are still covered, so we don't know what kind of jeweling has been done, but the shape does appear identical to the current model. Overall, the changes appear totally in line with a mid-cycle refresh.
As we explained previously, a plug-in Cayenne is on the way. It will join a crop of engines that is likely to be similar to what's on offer today, with naturally aspirated, turbocharged, hybrid and diesel variants released over time.
