1980 911 with upgraded 1987 911 3.2
Car shows 39,394 miles on the odometer but it stoped working before I bought the car so it is imposible to know exactly how many miles it has. Speedometer and all other gages work great. If I had to guess the car has less than 80,000 miles because of the way it drives very tight and smooth. Brakes and rotors are new. Tires have less than 2,000 miles. There is no rust on this car that I can see. AC is not working due to the compressor and rear condesor is not installed in the car but I have them both and will come with the sale if you wish to put them in the car and make the AC work again.
PAINT was redone this year with the orginal color that it came with from factory SILVER. There are a few minor flaws or imperfections on the paint but you would have to look very close to find them.
Engine is out of a 1987 PORCHE 911 CABRIO that was totaled due to a tree falling on it, please see pictures attached 1987 engine had 54,642 miles on it when i purchased it from a very respected PORCHE used parts dealer in PA called WEEKEND RIDES and put it in the car. You can call him to verify miles on the engine if you wish. Currently Engine should have less than 57000 miles on it due to I only drive the car on some weekends and not very offten I have had the car for less than a year. The engine is stock except for intake filter which is not stock. It also has 1987 upgraded oil cooler, car runs nice and cool in the hot Florida weather. There are no leaks on the engine and it runs very smooth and strong. This car is ready for a coast to coast trip with no problems.
Transmision shifts smooth through all gears and runs smooth. It has a new clutch and preassure plate.
Interior front seats have some tears on them see pics, they need to be recovered back seat are in good shape. Dash was recovered with a dash cover it looks good but under the cover the dash has a few minor cracks. Carpets are in good shape. Radio works good along with CD player.
Please feel free to call me with any questions that you may have my name is Hugo TEL # 407 399-1248.

Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

Porsche 911 Targa leaks out ahead of Detroit debut
Mon, 13 Jan 2014With the doors of Cobo Center opening for the 2014 Detroit Auto Show this morning, Porsche is set to reveal its new 911 Targa in a matter of hours. But before it gets the chance, the first batch of images have already leaked out, courtesy of Chinese car site autohome.com.cn.
As expected, the new Targa appears to ditch the complex sliding glass roof panels that adorned recent versions of the semi-convertible 911 in favor of a more back-to-basics approach. An entirely removable roof panel opens up the sky, backed by a metallic B-pillar hoop in front of a large curved-glass rear window.
We'll have to wait just a little longer for the full scope of images and all the official details, but we're expecting the new Targa to carry most of the same technical specifications as the 991 on which it's based. Watch this space for more.
Automakers not currently promoting EVs are probably doomed
Mon, Feb 22 2016Okay, let's be honest. The sky isn't falling – gas prices are. In fact, some experts say that prices at the pump will remain depressed for the next decade. Consumers have flocked to SUVs and CUVs, reversing the upward trend in US fuel economy seen over the last several years. A sudden push into electric vehicles seems ridiculous when gas guzzlers are selling so well. Make hay while the sun shines, right? A quick glance at some facts and figures provides evidence that the automakers currently doubling down on internal combustion probably have some rocky years ahead of them. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is a prime example of a volume manufacturer devoted to incremental gains for existing powertrains. Though FCA will kill off some of its more fuel-efficient models, part of its business plan involves replacing four- and five-speed transmissions with eight- and nine-speed units, yielding a fuel efficiency boost in the vicinity of ten percent over the next few years. Recent developments by battery startups have led some to suggest that efficiency and capacity could increase by over 100 percent in the same time. Research and development budgets paint a grim picture for old guard companies like Fiat Chrysler: In 2014, FCA spent about $1,026 per car sold on R&D, compared with about $24,783 per car sold for Tesla. To be fair, FCA can't be expected to match Tesla's efforts when its entry-level cars list for little more than half that much. But even more so than R&D, the area in which newcomers like Tesla have the industry licked is infrastructure. We often forget that our vehicles are mostly useless metal boxes without access to the network of fueling stations that keep them rolling. While EVs can always be plugged in at home, their proliferation depends on a similar network of charging stations that can allow for prolonged travel. Tesla already has 597 of its 480-volt Superchargers installed worldwide, and that figure will continue to rise. Porsche has also proposed a new 800-volt "Turbo Charging Station" to support the production version of its Mission E concept, and perhaps other VW Auto Group vehicles. As EVs grow in popularity, investment in these proprietary networks will pay off — who would buy a Chevy if the gas stations served only Ford owners? If anyone missed the importance of infrastructure, it's Toyota.
