Up for Auction is my 1980 911 SC Targa in rare Mocha Brown.  This car has 72,235 miles.  My father and I have owned it since 1999.  He bought it for himself as a 50th birthday gift to himself and then handed it down to me as a wedding gift 4 years ago.  The car is a rare color, Mocha Brown. It is a rich, dark brown, and almost looks black when the sun isn't shining on it.  The paint is beautiful, there isn't a scratch or dent to be found.  The car received a full exterior repaint in its original color (Mocha Brown) 4 years ago due to some small scratches and chips in the paint from road use.


The interior is a tan/cork color.  The front seats were redone in high quality German vinyl about 5 years ago.  The interior is very nice except for a few small cracks on the dashboard.  I have the dash covered with a carpet cover that I purchased from Porsche performance products.  It looks nice and cuts down on any glare.  There is also a crack in the rear vinyl on the rear shelf near the rear speaker on the passenger rear (see picture).  It doesn't really bother me so I let it be.  There is a small brown spot on the rear seat bottom on drivers side (see picture).  The steering wheel is a very nice Porsche Nardi steering wheel.  The power windows works fine but the passenger side is a little slow going up.

The motor is the standard and original 3.0.  It starts up and idles great.  All the necessary upgrades have been done, Carrera Chain tensioners, and Pop off valve.  This car also has the commonly upgraded SSI heat exchangers. The Air Conditioning doesn't work although the vehicle was equipped from the factory with A/C. Not sure if it is the compressor or something else. It has never worked and we never missed it, as we usually have the targa top off when we take it out, which is only on nice days.

The car shifts fine throughout all the gears, no grinding of any sort.  We have always used high end gear oil, either Redline or Mobil 1.  The suspension was upgraded a year or two after my Father purchased the car.  Bilstein Greens were installed on the vehicle.  It handles very nice, not too bumpy and very precise steering feel.  The wheels are the original Fuchs in excellent condition.  Brand new Hankook Ventus Evo tires were mounted 3 months ago, they have less than 20 miles on them .  

The targa top works as it should locking in place very tight.  The windshield has some small pitting in it, but no cracks or chips.  

We have installed a CD player with mp3 hook up and replaced the speakers with newer better quality Alpine speakers all in the original factory speaker locations, no extra cutting of the interior, etc.  It sounds very nice, although I still prefer the sound of the flat 6 engine behind me.  We installed a battery shut off on the battery, as an extra precaution when the car is parked.  It does however have an aftermarket alarm which works fine. 

I have all of the maintenance paperwork from our ownership since 1999 and the original owners manual with the original dealer card. I do not have any service records prior to our ownership unfortunately.  However we knew the person we bought it from and knew that he pampered the vehicle and was on top of all the maintenance.

This car doesn't leak any oil at all.  It hasn't leaked a drop of fluid since we owned it since 1999.  

There are a few small items that the could be addressed it the new owner decides to.  The trip odometer doesn't work.  The main odometer does work fine however.  The exhaust has some surface rust on it, although it is most likely OK the way it is as there are no holes or rust through, I am just trying to be very thorough in my description.  I noticed a few months ago while vacuuming the trunk area that there was some slight corrosion starting under the battery area.  So I removed the battery and sanded the area then prepped it with POR 15 rust stop/ inhibitor then applied 3M undercoating to the area under the battery and also under the spare tire as a precaution.  I also noticed that some of the factory undercoating was starting to peel off underneath the vehicle under the trunk pan where road debris/stones etc kick up so I also applied por 15 and 3M undercoating to that area as a precaution.  The trunk carpet fits fine and does the job but there is a couple tears in it and could stand to be replaced. I mentioned before that the A/C doesn't work.  All exterior lights/ fog lights/interior lights/dash lights all work as they should.  The clock works fine as well.  I have a soft top that attaches to the windows to keep strangers/ bird poop, etc out of the interior when the targa top is off and the car is parked.  I don't have picture with the spare tire mounted in the trunk but I have it and will have it mounted back in prior to the sale along with the trunk carpet.  The hood shocks that hold up the hood and the engine lid shocks that hold up the engine lid do not work.  They are a cheap part on Pelicanparts.net but we never got around to it as it never really bothered us

I encourage all bidders to ask questions prior to bidding.  Even though this car is in great shape it is still a 33 year old vehicle. I tried to be thorough but may have forgotten to list a thing or two so make sure to ask questions.  Potential bidders can email me at cpdjfd@yahoo.com and I will give a phone # over the email as well.  I don't want to post my phone # on this posting as there are too many scammers/ resalers/ dealers etc.  Shipping is to be paid for by the buyer and is the responsibility of the buyer, although I will assist as much as I can.  The car is also listed for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time.  There is no warranty written or implied with this vehicle.

Good Luck, I am sure the new owner will love to be behind the wheel of this beauty.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW to test autonomous cars, Korea bans sales of BMW, Nissan, Porsche models

Thu, Jan 5 2017

BMW will test autonomous cars on public roads by the second half of 2017. The German automaker, with partners Mobileye and Intel, will operate a fleet of 40 self-driving vehicles using a "scalable architecture" that will be made available to other automakers. The partners plan to offer products ranging from key components to "a complete end-to-end solution" for autonomous driving. Since parting ways with Tesla, Mobileye also recently announced it would provide its technology to Lucid Motors. For BMW, it all leads up to its fully autonomous iNext model slated for introduction in 2021. See the video above, and read more in the press release from Intel. South Korea has banned the sale of certain models from BMW, Nissan, and Porsche over emissions cheating. Following an investigation, regulators determined emissions testing documents to be falsified. The country's Ministry of Environment has fined the three automakers a total of $5.9 million, and revoked the certification of 4,523 vehicles across banned 10 models. Six of the models were still on sale, while the other four have been discontinued. Read more from Automotive News Europe. China's prices for the Cadillac CT6 Plug-in are significantly higher than those announced for the US. The plug-in hybrid version of the luxury sedan recently went on sale with the two variants priced at RMB 558,800 and RMB 658,800. At the time of this writing, that's $80,420 and $94,812. Cadillac announced it would bring the CT6 Plug-In Í– which is built in China – to the US in the spring of 2017, starting at $76,090 before federal and local tax incentives. Hybrid Cars points out that China's own generous incentives could help to make it more competitive. The offering of a charger with free installation as well as an eight-year warranty on the electric powertrain should help, too. Read more at Hybrid Cars. A Connecticut court has ruled in favor of Tesla's gallery showroom in Greenwich. Last May, the Connecticut Automotive Retailers Association brought the suit to block the showroom on Greenwich Avenue, which has now been dismissed by the Connecticut Superior Court. Tesla cannot offer test drives, sell cars, or operate a Supercharger at the location, but it can sell other branded items and educate the public about its vehicles. It's possible that the issue of Tesla's direct sales model could come up again this year in Connecticut state legislature. Read more at Teslarati .

2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

Porsche's Performance Plug-in Preamble
By the end of this year, Porsche will be producing as many plug-in vehicles (two) as mainstream automakers such as Toyota, Chevrolet and Honda. Before the 2015 918 Spyder hybrid supercar goes on sale in the US, though, it will be warming its customers up to the idea of a plug-in model with the 2014 Panamera S E-Hybrid. A step up from the previous Panamera S Hybrid, the new plug-in Panamera adds a more powerful and advanced electric drive system that pledges to deliver the performance expected of a Porsche with the added benefit of improved fuel economy and reduced emissions.
Going on sale in November, the Panamera S E-Hybrid is aimed at customers also considering the upcoming plug-in version Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but the car's dimensions and performance could make it a competitor for Tesla Model S customers. We headed to Germany at Porsche's invitation to see how well it performs, as well as check out the full range of newly refreshed Panamera models, which now numbers nine offerings - although we're still waiting for a production version of the gorgeous Sport Turismo wagon concept.

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.
