Up for sale is my 1981 Porsche 911SC Targa. I am a PCA member and have diligently maintained (and lightly restored) this car.

Body & interior are in top condition, and all mechanicals have been touched in the past 12 months. I have a binder of all service records beginning in November of 1983, and including a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. No known major accidents, other than a reference to broken glass falling on the car which required paint work in the mid-90s.

I purchased the car from a Porsche mechanic, who in turn had acquired the car from the son of the owner after he had passed away. The previous owner, from 1983 to just prior to my ownership, was a doctor based in Beverly Hills. He was a meticulous owner and loved the car, anything that needed replacement/repair was promptly addressed. He was also religious in his regular maintenance as well (oil changes, brake fluid flush, A/C recharges, etc). All service records detailing the care and maintenance of the car are on hand. During my ownership over the past couple of years I've gone through the car thoroughly and repaired any additional items that needed attention.

A sampling of some of the recent fixes include:

In April 1991 the previous owner replaced the original wheels with an full Fuch OEM wheelset (receipt in hand). I had them reconditioned in Sep 2012.
New shift coupler installed as well as new shifter bushings
Any/all oil leaks resolved - new cam oil lines (left and right) installed, new intermediate shaft gasket, new S line, and new engine oil lines.
Chain tensioners rebuilt with OEM Porsche upgrade kit, replaced all 6 chain ramps, install new guard kit, and reinstall covers with new gaskets.
Repaired and refurbished Bosch CD Box
Pop off valve installed
Replaced fuel lines and CIS injectors
Front tie rods replaced with Turbo 930 tie rods.
Front seats have been reupholstered to OEM spec
Targa top refurbished.
New Porsche dash (was told this is one of the last 911SC available from the factory)
New windshield, and new seals
New rear targa window
Replaced deteriorating cardboard OEM blower motor cover in trunk with Rennline billet metal cover
Replaced deteriorating cardboard rear deck with replacement fiberglass cover
Speedo sync'd at North Hollywood Speedometer, all dash lights replaced.
Headlights replaced with Sylvania OEM replacement lights
All lightbulbs replaced
Original Blaupunkt radio, reconditioned, working, and reinstalled
Kenwood amplifier installed in trunk with along with an equalizer switch to allow for iphone/ipod in glove box (all components out of sight).
A/C recently charged and working well. Original compressor and clutch in working order.
Cleaned windshield wiper fluid reservoir, new fluid pump installed, new jets, new wipers.
4 new Hankook tires from Tire Rack with receipt.

The car has been at several PCA events. Recently photographed at the 2012 Porsche Concours at Greystone Mansion, and included several PCA Los Angeles publications. The car's high 245k mileage is a point of distinction that is often admired among aficionados. At Porsche events it is noted as a point of pride. This car also comes with the following:

A binder documenting it's entire service history
Porsche certificate of authenticity
Original tool set (the screwdriver handle is a replacement, otherwise OEM, including replacement fuses)
Original set of tire changing gloves - very rare item that came as part of the original tool kit
Original jack and jack pad
Spare tire with original stickers, never been pumped
Replacement spare tire pump
Car cover included

Porsche's Mauer recalls the history of the 918 Spyder, hints about next-gen 911

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

The night before Porsche handed me the keys to its 2015 Macan to drive on both road and track, the company threw together a great dinner for the assembled media in Leipzig. Hosted in Porsche's spaceship-shaped customer delivery center in the eastern German town, I'll admit that I spent the bulk of my night grabbing hors d'oeuvres from passing waiters (they do a nice tuna sashimi), milling around a collection of historic and interesting vehicles on the top floor and gulping down Warsteiner.
In an era of mega car companies, the story of how the 918 came to be was really refreshing.
Before the evening was over, however, Porsche design chief Michael Mauer stopped by my table to exchange pleasantries and thank us all for coming out to drive the Macan. My fellow diners and I passed a pleasant half-hour or more picking the brain of the forthcoming Mauer, and somehow or another, the topic turned to Porsche's newest supercar, the 918 Spyder. In an era of mega car companies (the Volkswagen Group included) and massive development teams, the story of how the 918 came to be is really refreshing.

Why you must buy an air-cooled Porsche 911 now

Fri, 14 Feb 2014

"Because" might be a good response to our headline, but as a vintage (purists might call 'proper') Porsche 911 is hardly cheap, we suspect you'll need a better explanation than that. Enter Drive editor Mike Spinelli.
Spinelli sits down with Zac Moseley and Mick Prichinello from Classic Car Club Manhattan to first explain why the market for old, air-cooled 911s has gotten so hot over the past few years, and to discuss if it's a bubble that's about to burst. Following that, this video is really is just three guys sitting around talking about old Porsches for 35 minutes. Which, you know, we're pretty onboard with.
Scroll down and have a look at the latest episode of After/Drive, from Drive.
