Up for sale is my 1979 Porsche 911 SC.  It's a great car that looks completely original from the top all the way down to it's Fuch wheels.  I purchased it in 2009 in Manassas, VA.  I believe the car has spent the majority of it's life in Virginia.  I had it in Virginia until June of 2010, and then it spent three years in Columbus, OH (always garaged and driven only in clear weather in the winter), and it currently resides in Kentucky.  


I'm an Army officer stationed at Fort Knox and preparing to deploy in the spring of next year.  I have two other cars for my wife to manage, so it's time to sell the Porsche.  I have receipts that date back to 2003.  In 2008, it received the upgraded timing chain tensioners to the "carrera" tensioners and also has the "pop off" valve in the air box.  The car looks and runs great.  I've used it as my daily driver since April of 2009.  Best runs on the weekends, preferably to a golf course.  

Condition:  Car looks and runs great.  Paint is not perfect but very good in my opinion...a few small scratches in the paint and some chipping at the bottom of the front bumper, normal wear for a daily driver.  Recently drove 200 miles south from Columbus, OH to Fort Knox in 90 degree weather with no issues other than the AC does not blow cold, so I was hot, but the car was not.  

Cosmetic defects:  it has tears in the upper side of driver's seat near the door, duct tape on the headliner on the passenger side, and a few cracks in the dash (all pictured).  

Mechanical defects:  AC blows but not cold and cruise control does not work.   

Please feel free ask any questions of come to inspect the car at Fort Knox.

Porsche 911 GT3 wows the crowds in Geneva

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Porsche has a long and storied history of taking its range-topping 911 sportscar racing, with an enviable record of achievements in tow. The latest machine with which the automaker will take to the track can be seen above: the fifth-generation 2014 911 GT3.
With 475 horsepower strumming through the 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine, this is the pinnacle of naturally aspirated performance from Porsche. It can go from 0 to 60 in just 3.3 seconds, hit a top speed of 195 miles per hour and has lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in less than seven and a half minutes.
A dual-clutch PDK transmission (no standard manual gearbox will be offered) with shorter gearing than lesser 911 models sends power to the rear wheels. Providing forward motion isn't the only thing those rear wheels will be doing - Porsche says the 2014 911 GT3 is fitted with the manufacturer's first active rear-wheel steering.

Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.
