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.

NFL draft recruits to get Porsche 911s for fastest 40 times

Thu, Feb 5 2015

It's fair to say the NFL Combine is a big deal for players entering a draft. Their future quite literally comes down to a series of drills. You a defensive tackle? Better rock out on the bench press. Hoping to be the next great wide receiver? Your vertical better be awesome. And what of the running backs? Well, few drills match the importance of the 40-yard dash. That particular drill will have a renewed importance not just for the RBs, but for other skill positions at this year's Combine, as the three fastest times will be gifted a shiny new Porsche 911. Adidas is offering up the three cars, which ESPN reports are valued at about $83,000 a piece. That means these new recruits won't be rolling around in a Turbo or GT3. They will, however, sport a questionable sense of design, as the German shoe company has fitted a cheetah print, which is meant to match one of the company's new trainers. You can check both the car and the shoe out above. NFL fans, meanwhile, should feel free to head into Comments and let us know who you think will take home a new 911. Related Video:

2014 Porsche Panamera arrives with new E-Hybrid, long-wheelbase models

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

Porsche will officially unveil the refreshed 2014 Panamera at the Shanghai Motor Show later this month, and there's a whole lot in store for the updated model, far beyond the minimal styling tweaks you see here. Sure, there's a new fascia with more prominent LED lighting (including full LED headlamps) and the rump has been tweaked ever so slightly, but the big news for 2014 concerns what's underneath that rakish skin.
First up, Porsche will now offer a Panamera S E-Hybrid model - a plug-in hybrid that builds on the technology first introduced in the Panamera S Hybrid that we tested in 2011. For this new application, a more powerful electric motor and higher-performance battery have been fitted (official specs have not been released just yet), and Porsche says the battery can be recharged in just two and a half hours when the car is plugged in to a 240-volt outlet, and the charging (as well as other vehicle data) can be monitored via a new Porsche Car Connect app available for Android and iOS devices.
The E-Hybrid will have an all-electric driving range of "greater than 20 miles" and will be able to travel at speeds up to 84 miles per hour solely on electric power.

The hottest modern sports cars rendered as rally racers

Thu, Jan 14 2016

The modern-day World Rally Championship a monumental amount of fun to watch – I should know, as I recently was lucky enough to head to the UK to watch WRC Wales Rally GB Â– but even the most monstrous of the current WRC cars are based on fairly pedestrian European hatchbacks. Back in the heyday of rally, the Group B era in the 1980s, much hotter cars were the basis of even more incredible competition machines, for the most part. Take the exotic Ford RS200, or the Lancia Delta S4 with its twin-charged engine. And the hatchback-based Group B cars were bonkers, too. So what would some of our favorite modern cars look like if Group B had never ended? A British site named CarWow hired an artist to reimagine everything from the Rolls-Royce Wraith to the Porsche 911 as a retro-inspired rally car, and they were kind enough to let us share the results in the gallery above. The gallery features an Alfa Romeo Giulia in Martini livery, an Audi TT in classic Ur-Quattro colors, a Fiat 500 Abarth sporting massive flares and a hood blister full of auxiliary lights, a new Ford Mustang in RS200 livery, a Lancia Delta in Alitalia colors, a Porsche 911 in Rothmans livery, a Renault-Alpine in classic blue, a Rolls-Royce Wraith tribute to the Jules cologne Corniche Coupe, and a relatively modern-looking VW Touran. So far, the favorite around the office is the incredible Mercedes-Benz S-Class that is an homage to the wonderful 300 SEL 6.8 AMG "Red Pig" that essentially put AMG on the map. Check out the gallery above and see which one you like the best. Related Video:
