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.

Translogic 166: Porsche 918 Spyder

Mon, Dec 15 2014

In the same month that Porsche announced that its 918 Spyder is sold out, Translogic is getting its first (and likely last) shot at the plug-in hybrid hypercar. Our drive starts off in a very civilized fashion as we tour the 918 Spyder's e-power and hybrid modes, but the fun really starts when the naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V8 engine roars to life in sport and race hybrid modes, augmenting the electric motors with an additional 608 horsepower for a total of 887. We even attempt an impromptu 0-60 test to see if we can match Porsche's gobsmacking official time of 2.5 seconds, but sadly we don't have the room to make a run on its 214-mph top speed. Watch as Translogic host Jonathon Buckley pilots this Porsche around an airstrip in Irvine, CA, with a focus on the many driving modes that set the 918 Spyder apart from anything else in the storied automaker's history.

Porsche 918 Spyder configurator goes live

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

That didn't take long. The debut model of the new Porsche 918 Spyder is still thronged by onlookers at the Frankfurt Motor Show, while the German sports car maker is hard at work putting the first version of the supercar's configuration page online. Considering Porsche configurators are some of our favorite time-wasters of the genre, we expect car-guy productivity to drop by a few percentage points over the rest of the day.
So, the 918 dream-maker doesn't list and prices as yet, and that's too bad. But considering the car is due to start off at $845,000 in the US, chances are good that unless you're reading this from the shallow end of your Uncle Scrooge-spec money pool, the cost of any part of the 918 is academic to you anyway.
To start, Porsche is offering twelve paint colors, three wheel choices and seven two-tone interior treatments. Standard lightweight bucket seats and a set of chairs with "firmer padding" are on offer, too. The options list is mostly populated with interior bits, though many - an anti-reflection interior, fire extinguisher, six-point seatbelts - are racing-oriented or functional. Note that Porsche is also kind enough to offer just one cupholder as an optional extra; the unit is made of aluminum and is detachable so that you won't have to carry the extra weight during racing. Also, Porsche probably puts you on some kind of naughty 'list' if you order one...

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne Â– the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists Â– three in each category Â– on December 6.
