Fairfield, California, United States

1978 Porsche 911 SC Targa in very good daily driver condition.  Nice example of an original 911 that is not concourse but a very nice car that would make the driver proud.

Interior:  Shows signs of wear but in very nice condition, with typical dash cracks.  Seat are very good except for slight cracking on outer edge (visible in photo) and similar crack on very tops of seats.  Carpet is average with no holes or rips.  Headliner is brand new, done same time as Targa top restoration. 

Exterior: Paint is very good and shiny with no dents and very few chips (you need to judge for yourself).  Freshly restored Targa Top with new vinyl and foam.  Very nice Fuch wheels with good tires and whale tail.

Engine: Starts right up and idles smooth.  Has Carrera tensioners and pop-off valve.  915 5 speeds shifts smooth and quite.  Clutch depresses smooth and also with no noise or slipping.  

Mechanical:  This car seems to be in good sound, rust free condition.  Inspection of the underside shows normal condition for a car of this age.  No rust or any signs of damage.  Suspension appears to be in good condition  and everything is fairly clean (for the underside of a car).  Brand new brakes on all four corners.

Overview: I tried my best to show all aspects of this car to help anyone interested in making a decision.  You need to see it for yourself in order to; 1: Appreciate how nice it is. 2: Decide if, in your eyes, this is the car for you.  Different people have differing opinions. Please inspect photos carefully as they are part of the description.

Remaining balance must be satisfied within 10 days via confirmed funds prior to release of vehicle and documents. Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer. I will help in any way I can to load car on a trailer.  I may be able to recommend a shipper and happy if I can be of help.  .  If you do a Google search you will find more shippers than you can cope with. I generally recommend asking friends or enthusiast club members if they have anyone they recommend. I will store this car and protect it to the best of my ability for up to 30 days.  California buyers, I will need a few extra days to smog after end of auction.

Porsche Cayman gets a new face

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

We've already seen photos of the facelifted Porsche Boxster out testing, but we're now seeing these same changes making their way onto the hardtop Cayman coupe. Cosmetically, the next round of Porsche's smallest sports cars isn't vastly different, with redesigned headlamps, LED running lights (like its big brother, the 911), and new taillamps that actually aren't visible on the prototype seen here.
The big news for the updated Boxster/Cayman range is the long-rumored four-cylinder engine. Recent reports suggest we could see four-pots with displacements of 1.6, 2.0, or 2.5 liters, and with output ratings as high as 360 horsepower. Of course, these new four-cylinder mills would be both turbocharged and direct-injected.
It's unclear whether or not the six-cylinder engine range will also be updated when this new Cayman comes to market. In any case, we expect to see it bow in the relatively near future. Stay tuned.

2014 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet spotted testing in the nude

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

The Porsche 911 wouldn't be the Porsche 911 unless there were twenty-something different models to choose from (note: we are not complaining), and the latest one was just spied by our trusty photographers out on Germany's Nürburgring. Feast your eyes on the 911 Turbo Cabriolet - the droptop version of the new Turbo wonder that debuted in May - looking all sorts of stealth in its black-on-black-on-black prototype scheme.
Mechanically, the 911 Turbo Cab should be identical to the fixed-roof version, meaning a twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six engine will live in the car's rump, putting out something like 520 horsepower. Of course, there's also the hotter Turbo S version of the coupe, and we expect that to get the droptop treatment, as well, with 560 horsepower on tap. The added weight of the folding top and additional structural supports will likely make for slightly slower 0-60 times for both cars, though considering the base Turbo will hit 60 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds, "slower" is a very relative term indeed. All that force will run to the ground via all-wheel drive, managed by Porsche's seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission.
The wide stance of the 911 Turbo Coupe carries over to the Cabriolet, no doubt fitted with the same (standard) 20-inch wheels. Inside, the usual luxury amenities will be on hand, along with nearly endless customization options.
