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.

2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Think of the electric motor in the facelifted 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid as the cream filling in an Oreo cookie. Under the hood of this plug-in hybrid crossover is a 333-horsepower, supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with a 95-hp synchronous electric motor sandwiched between it and an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The clutched powertrain allows pure combustion, pure electric or a combination of both to drive all four wheels through Porsche's permanent all-wheel-drive system.
Differentiating itself from the Panamera S E-Hybrid sedan, which shares the same basic powertrain and stores energy in a 9.4-kWh battery, the Cayenne crossover is fit with a more robust 10.8-kWh lithium-ion battery that delivers an estimated pure-electric driving range of up to 22 miles at speeds of up to 78 miles per hour.
To be one of the very first US media members to sample Porsche's latest fuel-efficient crossover, the automaker flew us to Frankfurt, Germany, to test the five-passenger Cayenne S E-Hybrid on its home turf.

Porsche Cayman GTS in track battle with 996 GT3

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Here's your tough question of the day: Would you rather drive a new Porsche Cayman GTS or a slightly older, 996-era Porsche 911 GT3? Certainly, both cars have their plusses. The Cayman is the more modern proposition, sure, but the GT3 is, well, a GT3. So yes, it's a tough decision.
If you're one of the lucky souls that have to make that choice, then this video from Evo should prove pretty helpful. It's a track battle, starring Jethro Bovingdon with a new GTS and an old GT3.
Calling the GTS "fantastically agile" and "fast, but it's also hilariously good fun," Bovingdon bangs home a solid lap time of 1:05.2 before switching to the GT3. It's remarkable to see just how dated the 996-generation 911 looks after viewing the newer Porsche, and from where we sit, it's further proof that the old car's headlights are something that's best forgotten. Styling qualms aside, though, can the GT3 keep up with its racy younger cousin?

Weekly Recap: Ferrari, Ford and Porsche power up for Geneva

Sat, Feb 7 2015

Monday was Groundhog Day. Tuesday, apparently, was Sports Car Day. The Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ford Focus RS and the Porsche Cayman GT4 all debuted within hours of each other ahead of their rollouts at the Geneva Motor Show. Three sporty machines, three vastly different approaches – and a lot of implications for enthusiasts. That's a day worth repeating. It also illustrates the opportunities automakers see in the performance market, which is expected to grow in the coming years. Ford estimates the segment has expanded 14 percent in Europe and surged 70 percent in North America since 2009. The Detroit Auto Show was evidence of this, and performance cars of every stripe debuted, including the Acura NSX, Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and several others. This isn't a fad. Performance cars aren't going away. The question is why? Stricter CAFE standards are looming in the United States, as are tighter emissions regulations in Europe. And no one expects gas prices to remain low in America. None of this matters for sports cars, and automakers are increasingly using them to elevate their images. That's why Dodge rolled out two 707-horsepower Hellcats last year. It's why Ford has decided to resurrect the GT for road and track. It's why in the depths of bankruptcy, General Motors continued work on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not to mention the Z06. "Great brands are made one car at a time," Ford of Europe president Jim Farley said at the reveal of the Focus RS. Still, companies make those cars for different reasons. View 5 Photos Mainstream brands like Ford and Dodge want to build cars that get people talking, excite their bases and drive more potential customers into the showroom. They probably don't buy a Focus RS or a Hellcat, but suddenly the regular Focus hatch looks a bit hotter, and that V6 Charger seems to be just a touch more muscular. The halo of performance is alive and well in the eyes of automakers and their customers. "It's one of the most effective catalysts for ingenuity and innovation," said Joe Bakaj, vice president of product development for Ford of Europe. That also leads to a trickle-down effect. Some of the technologies inevitably make their way to other products. It's hard to think the new all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS that distributes torque front to rear and side to side won't be used in other vehicles. It's different for Ferrari and Porsche.
